And then we get into the weeds of how do we decide who gets grants? I’m a fairly enthusiastic watcher of Linus Tech Tips, and he discusses that the entertainment tax grants the Canadian Government gives out are so complex that only the largest companies (the ones who do not need the grants) can hire people to navigate the bureaucracy for the tax breaks.

Reddit wasn’t only for people who know how to set up an instance. It was for artists, for gamers, for people of all ages. If we want Lemmy to have any staying power, to have a user base that fills the hole our hearts left by Reddit, the diversity of communities and content, then we can’t expect every Skyrim Grandma and Rule 34 artist to set up their own instance.

He kissed a girl, he liked it. The taste of her cherry chapstick.

Exactly this. I’m successful a cybersecurity compliance analyst today because whenever I got around my IT father he laughed and was impressed with me. If he yelled and made a stink about me circumvented firewalls or gained admin privileges, it would have turned me off of this path real quick.

If no one is getting hurt, foster that shit! Make ‘em think and make ‘em work! They’re always smart enough to know when you let them win versus when they impress the pants off you!

Seems like there’s a lot of comments, keep it up y’all!
