Definitely, because poor people don’t watch the news and can’t read.
I got suckered by an encyclopedia salesman when I was younger. It was one of the biggest wastes of money of my young life. I had no need for it at that time and later, when I could have used it, I had the internet (or Internet with a capital I back then) and college libraries.
I have hypertrophy of the turbinate in the right nostril. It’s blocked basically all the time. I was prescribed fluticasone and what’s basically a salt water rinse. Neither really does much. I also have GERD, so I ordered an under-mattress bed wedge to see if the elevation can solve both problems at the same time.
I spent some time on Threads to see how it was and it’s a fucking cesspool of like-mongering and look at me oneupsmanship bullshit that was so fucking tiring to look at that I deleted the app after 4 days.
This comment was for fun. I’m currently reading the Silo books.
What they don’t want you to know is that the Earth’s orbit changed and we’re swinging in closer and closer to the Sun. The vaccine was actually nanites meant to help protect us from upcoming radiation and other atmosphere changes.

Telegram chats aren’t e2ee by default. You’re essentially putting your chats on a server owned by a rich Russian person as a hobby.

Probably a combination of flat out retards and recent immigrants for whom English is a second language.
What happened with exploding heads?
But just as a side note, a user can block an entire instance as well, at least on Mastodon. I haven’t checked for that functionality on Lemmy. That’s not defederation, but it prevents you from seeing things you don’t want to at the user level.
You can’t keep them out, but you can choose not to Federate with them. They can’t take over. That’s the point of having independent federated servers.
I wonder if that was intentional on the instance owner’s part?
Good. Serves 'em right.
It’s because the 2024 election is coming up.
How about a “convenience fee” for making an online payment. Why should I pay a fee to make the transaction more convenient for the company who no longer has to pay an employee to take the payment in person?
