I can only assume she doesn’t. The only person she had was her partner/publicist who died (I’m guessing not wife since it seemed like she was keeping her relationship a secret in order to sell more books.)

That's weird to me. I guess this is a criticism I have of a lot of shows I've watched. The leads appear to have non-existent families that should appear at some point. I even noticed it in For All Mankind, where the Baldwin and Stevens families parents didn't seem to exist despite the fact they were young enough to exist in the 70s and 80s, and not one of them had any siblings.

In many shows it doesn't matter, and you don't need to see relatives like that - but it's sometimes more stark.

Yeah, they expelled some mod teams for closing their subreddits in protest - but that's different to what the other user was alleging.

The guy from Spain (?) who requested Air Force One is exactly the kind of guy I wanted to see. The world is his now, he can do anything he wants. Like Carol he doesn’t have any friends or family to keep him grounded, but he does have the entire world asking him what he wants. So what does he want? To enjoy life! Flying around on a one of kind aircraft, a harem of women, fancy meals, etc. He is the opposite of Carol.

This is an interesting point. Wouldn't Carol have family members they could bring out to try and keep her grounded? Parents? Siblings? Closer friends?

Apparently there was some harassment allegations against the lead.

I use a VPN to access Reddit all the time. I haven't once been hit with a block.

Depends wildly on the subreddit. I'm unaware of Spez personally getting involved in appointing and removing moderators for political reasons. I suspect the user above is referring to site admin policies rather than subreddits.

Discord is, but there's no capable developed Discord alternative. The Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin-verse is well developed.

I already made a massive !forumverse@piefed.social for this. You will have to be on a piefed instance to access it.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 16 points 2 days ago

Each instance will have its own policies and systems. I can't speak for blahaj.zone.

I have noticed this too occasionally on communities added. The community gets added to piefed, but one users posts on there - for some reason - don't federate over to piefed.social. There's got to be something in common with the users impacted as relates to piefed.social.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago

That might be possible. Rimu could add filters into community settings to hide crossposts.

Oh I agree, it wasn't explained (how could it be explained, to be fair) but they didn't drop it is what I mean
