This is insane. Imagine devoting resources of your public university to surveiling people who protest a genocide.

Shame

They are if you teach them well

I'm genuinely interested in this one

Yo this guy Koreas

I really feel like it peaked in 2012 or 2013. Hot on the heels of the "rally to restore the sanity" (which proved the true power of Reddit, but was co-opted and defanged)

Lots of big AMAs but they could be very chaotic.

Allowed content wasn't quite as wild as two years previous but it was still possible to find some real taboo/NSFL/disturbing/subversive communities of all sorts.

The userbase was large but still most of your friends would make fun of you for going there, and your parents didn't even know it existed.

The admin team was still pretty small and they even would make a point to hire users who understood the culture and spirit of the site.

I live in Jeju, South Korea. There's a local development bubble that's going to pop, centered around a boondoggle called the Global Education City.

Yeah... People lose their goddamn minds over minors and sex, like they were never minors themselves 🙄😮‍💨

I got banned for the telling a teenage OP in /r/sex that her yeast infection was probably caused by her boyfriend's dirty fingers. I told her to emphasize cleanliness and hygiene ahead of future encounters. She said she couldn't ask her parents for sexual advice and also couldn't consult a doctor, so I tried to give her immediately useful advice

I was banned for "encouraging sex acts with a minor" but not before a bunch of people called me rude names for "imagining her sexual encounter with her boyfriend"

Throw out seasons... Just do each book however they need to be done. The comic was supposed to hold this promise. I have no idea if they ever finished it though

 

They have all these fears about getting shut down but refuse to move over here. In an emergency they think YouTube comments are a safe space

I guarantee that /r/Superstonk will be either private or nonexistent in a year. Reddit is now fully onboard with silencing any communities that threaten their investors

 

I guess they really want Israel to stop!

 

"Since there are a raft of unknowns with Israel’s next steps in and what sort of fallout that might trigger, it makes sense to step back and see if we can infer anything, even at a very general level, from known or presumed boundary conditions."

 

Why is it allowed? It seems dangerous for drivers and pedestrians

Are there plans to phase it out?

Japan outlaws on-street parking under the logic that it's using public space to house private property.

 

안녕하세요! Checking in from Jeju

 

Do the mods even know that Lemmy exists?

It's the best group on Reddit with good and active moderators. They deserve better than this disrespect from the company

 

When I open links to other communities in the Lemmyverse, they don't open in Jerboa. They open in chrome. As a result, I'm not logged in and can't subscribe or interact. I've found lots of communities this way but it's a hassle to subscribe to them.

 

Hey, like the title says, what's a good instance for pornographic content?
