some most. Not only will they not admit it, they won’t believe it and will double down on the lies.

Spoiler alert. The mammals won (for now)

Some would even say three orders of magnitude.

Read the comment you’re responding to, again. Nothing about their suggestion leads to either of these scenarios.

They gave a link.

So it’s not a flaw.

Agreed. For comparison, I was also in the US military (not during combat) and had the opportunity to briefly work alongside some former Soviet soldiers in a former Soviet Republic (not Russia) several years after the break up. Fighting each other was these dudes primary mode of passing the time. It was absolutely wild. I imagine that the culture hasn’t changed much.

And apparently, there’s no way to change your password. Oh, boy.

Upper left corner menu. Click “anonymous” and then “add account”

No, only lemmy.ca knows your password. If you want to login to beehaw, you need a beehaw account.

No, that’s what they’re saying. Don’t do that. Click on the magnifying glass in the top menu, and make sure that the selector that offers [Subscribed, Local, or All], choose All. That’ll include communities on other instances that this instance knows about.

Reading through the comments in this thread, I’d just like to mention how amusing it is to see so many people in the fediverse arguing in favor of walled gardens and vendor lock-in. Like, do you even know where you are?

https://lemmy.world/c/vent looks like it might be just what you’re looking for for this one.

FYI: I believe the lemmy.world community (this one) is for discussions specifically about the lemmy.world instance. You’re from lemmy.fmhy.ml, which is a different instance.

I think the lemmy.world community where you posted this is supposed to be for discussions about the lemmy.world instance (eg, server upgrades/downtime, bugs, etc). You can find other communites (that discuss a range of topics) on the lemmy.world instance by clicking “Communities” in the top menu bar, and you can find other lemmy communities on other instances (that you can follow from the lemmy.world instance) at https://browse.feddit.de/

ETA: And I just noticed that your account isn’t even on the Lemmy.world instance.

You can run your own instance or join an instance that tolerates that speech, and federate with other instances that tolerate it. So, the “platform” is not supressing you one bit. Go forth, and be an asshole if you wish.

However, administrators and users on other instances also have the freedom to participate without being forced to listen to assholes ad nauseum. “Free Speech” does not mean “Free (from the consequences of your) Speech” or that other people should be forced to listen to you.

I’ll only accesss Discord if I can find a good third party app that respects privacy.

I don’t think I understand. Even using a third party app, you still have a discord account and all of your messages are still stored on discord servers and associated with that account. What privacy are you gaining?

Agreed. I think it has it’s place, like, “we, a select and small group of people are doing this thing together right now and need someplace to chat about it in real time” or for very small groups of friends/family as an alternative to occasional group text messaging.

But, when I see FOSS teams use it as their primary mode of communication with each other and users, with multiple conversations going in parallel and talking over each other, I’m dumbfounded. How do they find that productive?
