Almost under a day. I can now see .world, midwest.social, .ee and others in my feed.

Well we would also not want to be here if .ml was favoured over any other instance, that would kinda make the idea of federation a bit pointless.

Hmmmm, and it does not help the controversy when this issue seems to happen to then fill smaller instances with .ml posts…

Yeap, no point in using mander right now ether.

Maybe I should just crosspost this to !mander@mander.xyz

Well there is a big issue with LW to any smaller instances if this is working like you think. Right now being on mander is like having less then half of lemmy and I would guess that if it can happen with mander it can/is happening with others.

The advertisement and push they did on sites like reddit and their listing on join-lemmy.org (when they where still listed) made them the biggest instance. And with the name Lemmy.world they did nothing to dissuade anyone from thinking that. If this was all randos pushing the instance then boo to them, but I also saw nothing from .world not claiming to be the bigger instance(super lemmy)

I agree but that is what .world has asked of people. They have placed themselves here as the landing place for new users.

I don’t think it is so difficult but I also think that would lessen the depth and breadth of lemmy as a whole by limiting full participation behind self hosting.

Just wondering and looking at the mod log for one admin and maybe I am crazy but are they unbanning and rebaning users? (Keep in mind it goes new on top):

• admin Banned @snake from the community Lemmy.world Announcements reason: troll
• admin Unbanned @snake
• admin Banned @soviettaters from the community Lemmy.world Announcements reason: Troll
• admin Unbanned @soviettaters
• admin Unbanned @ilfi
• admin Removed Comment Spineless pieces of shit. by @sused reason: toxic
• admin Banned @sused reason: Bye
• admin Banned@ilfi reason: Inactive account comes back to troll. Bye

I think the issue is that .world has put itself forward as some sort of super lemmy. The landing page for new users. I agree people should move but also that we do kinda need a superish lemmy, but one that maybe has all the good and bad. Would it make any sense to have an instance that has no communities of its own but also has all the instances?

Yeahhhh, please leave reddit (they still run ads there for this instance) for lemmy.

I guess they wanted people to feel at home?

I think a this is a bigger issue then just .worlds stance on piracy. Lemmy.world has put it self forward as the “front page of lemmy” but has now also removed one of the largest community using lemmy. And did so with no input on a discord server (not on any instance). This front page status was already shakey with all the down time and clunk. This seems like maybe not the best side to show new users.

Most times (at least around these parts I am) manslaughter hardly ever gets applied. They seem to treat it as an unrelated death. Jim has an “accident” and sadly Sue has passed away. Maybe if the police are feeling frisky we might get an “unsafe operation of a motor vehicle”.

They are last time I checked “prohibitively expensive” but people are dumb enough to pay $100k over 8 year financing. These things are also no better for “industrial/ag” then a truck from 30 years ago that was 4 feet less tall, had an 8 foot bed and a similar towing capacity at a fraction of the price.

These things are the crystallization of our hubris.

Driver faces hit-run homicide

The first part of the headline does a fair job of pointing out the murder.

I mean, yeah that would be accurate? I doubt the car would be nearly as damaged as the meat sack.

The issue is not so much size but height. These things are all over where I am as fleet vehicles and even the good ol’ type will comment that they can not see anything in front. Just look at the door or normal car in the background of that picture and you get an idea. These hoods are no joke 1.7 meters high for no other reason then to look mean.

Honestly you could do a lot by simply charging people the same as non car related crimes. Like if you or I got pissed/trashed/inebriated and killed a person we would get a totally different outcome if the tool used was a brick or a car.

I meant as the tone of the article, this post was about the media miss handling the homicide. I thought it was a good no punches pulled short write up, hence “what am I missing”.
