I've been using mojeek and ddg, but I've been considering setting up SearXNG on a server.

This was organized crime by a corrupt school official. This isn't petty crime. So I don't think this situation is one of those that "does nothing useful" to have severe consequences. Additionally, your dismissal of the circumstances around the crime seems odd. This person stole from the most vulnerable where restitution isn't possible because we don't have time machines and they stole an amount that restitution is beyond the means of the thief without further commiting theft or fraud.

Jail is the best option here. I think the sentencing could be lighter and the parole and probation system should be fixed, but there's not much better to be done in a scenario like this.

Also I think making kids starve constitues violence.

Probably independently owned and operated, non-franchised restaurants. Fast food franchisees generally aren't around the day to day operations and are contractually obligated to buy supplies from the franchise. But it's not impossible that one is dumb enough or desperate enough to do something like that.

I think that's a mistake, but also the point is that saying users when you mean accounts is lying to yourself. Users here have multiple accounts, I have 7.

Didn't know about that one. Just subscribed!

It's not implimented because the developers of lemmy have been prioritizing other issues and features. They say they're open to code contributions, so someone would have to volunteer to do it.

What's a Lemmy group?

I hope the responses here resonate with you and help you clear up misunderstandings you have.

That post seems more academic than practical. I was hoping to see a discussion about what has been shown to work rather than speculation on what could be reasons for some hypothetical things to work.

as a user you probably woudn’t even notice the change.

That's not entirely true. The default UI for Sublinks is being developed to be dramatically different than the default UI for Lemmy. It's unclear if the Lemmy UI will be made available by lemmy.world if they change to Sublinks. Its also unclear if lemmy.world will simply redirect to sublinks.world.

It's also unclear if lemmy.world will use sublinks as sublinks currently doesn't exist in a form that's usable for lemmy.world. And it may turn out that what is built doesn't work as intended and lemmy.world will continue to use lemmy indefinitely.

Bluesky is now a federated network, just incompatible with ActivityPub.

Stop asking what the opinions of others are and write what you want to. That's my advice.
