One of the benefits of the distributed nature of the fediverse is that different instances have different standards and so nobody needs the one universal standard to fit them perfectly. Some instances are locked down and while I don't agree with it, that's their freedom to do so and it's mine to moderate as lightly as I do. We can coexist in the same fediverse, even if that fediverse looks a lot different.
I'm not your dad -- it isn't my job to make sure you're not a jerk. I'm not going to stick my fingers into discussions. I grew up with no holds barred internet debate, it's halal.
You're not mine -- Don't break my toys. Most moderation actions I've ever taken are based on systemic risks such as spam or CP, because I don't want my toys broken.
Honestly, I had some reports about one of my users being mean to someone I like, and that's when I had to decide what to do about it. The only answer I could come up with was to say "If they're bothering you, block them". It's dangerous for me to start intervening in arguments like someone's dad.

Considering who's heading up the NDP, they're probably working out how to fit in the admins purse like good little lapdogs.
I've written it before: people who think bad behavior by people with power ends with bad people, you are always next. That's why you want those in power to treat your enemies with the same consideration as your friends (not necessarily treating the same, but at least with equal consideration) because you never know when you might find yourself as an enemy.
Green energy that actually works. No magic boxes, just doing the work and getting carbon neutral power for 50 years.
Even the "Nazis" on here are usually just rebelling against a society that want to constrain them so they throw on some symbols to say "oh noes, now I'm explicitly part of the thing you were going to accuse me of to shame me! Whatever will you do?"
Another thing that's important is to remember that life isn't politics. Even in the most totalitarian of circumstances, even when you are a literal slave, you still have power over yourself. There aren't enough police on earth to police every thought, every word, every gesture as much as they'd like to.
Been working on setting up an instance myself, but it's been an epic fail. The instance looks great but isn't federating at all.
Well let me be clear about exactly what happens next: after the initial phase where there's a small energy savings, then they're going to crank up energy costs during the day. Energy cost overall will go way up, but the blame the customer for using energy at the wrong time.
Found freeforum, indicating that this is a resource that has pretty much everything rather than just core instances. Exactly what Lemmy needs. 👍
It demos well but the moment you ask it a question it needs to get right the strings become immediately apparent.
I can absolutely see why Pearson would be filled to the broom with a woke nonsense: without it, people need to start asking why they are selling a $7 textbook for $150 when the author writes it for free.
