Yeah, my understanding is that defederation prevents any incoming communication, so you won’t see any posts or comments that come from lemmy.bullshit, however users from lemmy.bullshit will still see all of your comments and posts from lemmy.world unless they choose to defederate you back.
It’s a bit self-serving of me to phrase it this way, but I do think the Reddit debacle shaved off a disproportionately not-terrible segment of the Reddit userbase. I think you could make your comment about Redditors instead and it would still be fair. There’s obviously a lot of Twitter users we don’t want here, but if we got the top 0.1% of Twitter users by quality? That’s not bad.
I know there was some occasional friction between the fans on the old site, but I’ll also throw in a recommendation for The Orville as modern Trek that’s worth seeing. It does a great job capturing the spirit of the second-gen era presented for the current gen, with its cautious optimism pricked once a week by reminders of challenges yet to be resolved.
The first season is slightly rough (more proof it’s a real Trek show?), as they figured out the ratio of comedy to drama, but by season three it’s about as jokey as TNG. Fox did a bad job promoting it, it’s definitely not Family Guy in space, which I think was probably what the network wanted it to be.
There’s tons of Trek people both behind and in front of the camera, so while there’s obviously no ties to the Trek canon, it’s the closest anything has ever come, stylistically.
Looks more like 17 minutes after launch.
Of course it’s subjective. The terminology of the left-right political divide originally referred to 18th-century France. In the 21st century, we’re usually not defining the political center of a nation by how it compares to the French Parliament of 250 years ago. The center moves over time and space, and the left and right are relative to that center.
I do think this comment thread is confusing people, though, as noted in an above edit. For clarity, nobody is saying neoliberalism is a center-left movement.
All left-right political terminology is inherently subjective, so you can argue neoliberalism is promoted by center-left parties as long as you’re defining the center as being to the right of that. Since this post seems to be about the United States, that center is already pretty far to the right as measured from, say, Denmark (picked a name out of a hat). I think the bigger argument here is about US-defaultism rather than whether or not it’s OK for Americans to describe things in terms that relate to their political climate.
EDIT: I think the comment I’m replying to is confusing people. Replying solely to the words “center-left” makes it seem like the OP described neoliberalism as center-left, which people are objecting to. However, the OP only used the phrase center-left once, to say that American center-right and center-left parties have enacted neoliberal policy. As a statement of fact, the Democrats have enacted neoliberal policy. By American standards, the Democrats are regarded as center-left. This does not mean the OP was saying “neoliberalism is a center-left ideology.” There is an argument to be made here that the Democrats are not a center-left party, but I think the issue is getting confused here because people are reacting as if the thing being described as “center-left” is neoliberalism, when it’s actually the Democratic Party.
It almost certainly won’t be at launch, as the kbin API is not ready yet. Artemis, another upcoming kbin/Lemmy double-act app, is currently relying on a web scraper and self-hosted shim API to access kbin content, with the goal being to switch to the real API once it’s available.
Basically, it’s a lot of extra work to support kbin right now, but in the future it should be about as easy as Lemmy. I’ll be interested to see if any other Lemmy apps pick up kbin support as a result, but even just a couple is more than I expected so soon.
I know it’s petty, but I find it extremely frustrating that he likely didn’t have enough time to realize just how wrong he was about everything before he died. He went to his death saying “No, it’s the children who are wrong.”
No, it’s just saying “I won’t come into your room.” They can still go anywhere they want.
I know it’s an opinion piece, but it’s always kind of funny to see a word like “shitstorm” pop up in a credible news source.
Yeah, they can vote and reply and all of that and others who remain federated will see their interactions, but you or any other server who defederates them won’t.
