Well, you can at least download all your reddit account information into a file that you can archive locally. I wanted to make sure my best puns were preserved at all costs 😅

That's actually not true. Lemmy.world and lemmy.dbzer0.com are fully federated, you can see for yourself if you check the instances tab.
The only thing that people incessantly complain about is that lemmy.world blocked one single community from dbzer0, the piracy community. For an account on lemmy.dbzer0, that has absolutely no effect. For an account on lemmy.world, that just means they need an alt if they want to participate in that one community. The two userbases can still fully interact all over lemmy, it's just that lemmy.world decided to block the piracy community to cover their asses legally.
Look, here's https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
But people make such a big deal about that one blocked community that a lot of people get the idea that they are defederated or something. You're not the first person I've had to correct about this, not even the first this week lol.
Fresh idiots are being born every day, unfortunately

There's also this site, which gives you more options for filtering, but also seems to throw up errors pretty consistently in my experience.
In terms of figuring out which instances are cool with one another, this site is also quite useful. It's a web of trust model that a majority of major instances participate in.
It shows which instances endorse one another, with those instances obviously being federated. It also shows how instances choose to describe/tag themselves, which can give you a better understanding of their general vibe. And it also shows which instances are viewed with suspicion, as they are hesitated or censured by other instances.

Wow, that's unbelievable that we actually advanced after this shitshow. What a performance from Bayindir. Seems like the football gods smiled on us today, despite the horrendous refereeing. Kai Havertz 😂
Hoping this can be a turning point in our season
Anything that doesn’t put the ENTIRE content discovery engine fully in the hands of the users and that doesn’t make content moderation a crowdsourced-only transparent, auditable endeavor is going to reproduce l’ancien régime.
Aren't you just describing Lemmy?
Content discovery is fully in the hands of the users, and content moderation is both crowd-sourced and transparent.
Upvotes, downvotes, and reports are all forms of crowd sourced moderation. The modlog is transparent and auditable. What are you on about?
My goodness, that was a roller coaster. Although I found it lacking in cohesiveness (I'm not sure that the evidence supports the conclusions), it's certainly a thought-provoking article. Thanks for the link.
But the only reason he was being prosecuted was because of his connection to Biden. An average working class person would never have been charged with this crime in the first place.
Damn. I actually thought he might turn things around back when he was brought in. Their engineers have let them down, how did they fall so far behind after being so far ahead just 15 years ago?
It's called Virginia, not East Virginia.
But in all seriousness it's because the state was divided during the Civil War and the original Virginia kept on being Virginia. And West Virginia was evidently the most satisfactory name they could come up with for the new state. Could have also gone with North Virginia, but with the context of the civil war (north vs south) they may have avoided that one.
Rules and laws are just strongly worded suggestions
