Do you smell that? It's bullshit!
I won't speak for anywhere else, but Toronto and Vancouver are about as "livable" as the surface of the sun.
A single family home in Vancouver is over 2 million dollars and in Toronto is over 1 million dollars for starters. Then there's the homeless, crime, and drug problems. Many people in the Toronto area have a multi-hour commute.
But really the first thing should do it for you. "Much livable! Many wow! 4500/mo mortgage ftw!"

It started off as Google Talk, then became Google Hangouts, now it's Google Chat.
It's gotten progressively worse each time tbh

When you start going through lists of instances that block, you start to realize just how petty and stupid the people doing the defederating are.
Some people block my instance because I asked fediblock to add my instance to their stupid list because I'm a doubleplus ungood wrongthinker and fediblock are a bunch of nazi gestapo. So I guess the instances that followed the block recommendation on fediblock are pro orwellian and pro nazi gestapo? They're just doing it because someone (in this case me) told them to.
The most important lesson of our age is that even the most positive and just idea can become evil if you turn off your brain and stop thinking and just do what you're told.

In 5 years we'll all be like "Hey, do you remember back when we thought $2M was a lot of money?"
I reused the hardware for it for my lemmy instance so it's down now, but for a while I ran an openstreetmap instance. OSM has a big map that shows all the continents. Then you zoom in a bit, and you can see countries. Then you zoom in a bit, and you can see provinces. Then you zoom in a bit, and you can see cities. Then you zoom in a bit, and you can see neighborhoods. Then you zoom in a bit, and you can see individual buildings.
And this incredibly detailed map of the entire planet right down to individual buildings doesn't know about the stories of the people in those buildings, it doesn't know about individual trees, individual blades of grass, of the bugs in the soil, of the nematodes that are to the bugs as the bugs are to us, to the bacteria and archaea, to the viruses, to the molecules, to the atoms, to the subatomic particles.
And at every scale, you see what's in front of you and think it's the most important thing, but there's everything you can't see at the scale you're at, and all the other things at all the other scales, but it's easy to become fixated on one thing in one place at one scale and forget the universe as a whole is a lot of things all at once.

That I can't explain. Basic features like that have typically worked well for me. (In fact, one thread was going off the rails and I muted the thread, and even the old posts went away in my notifications!
Typically, a good start is to just do a refresh. Especially if you're like me and keep a tab open almost all the time for notifications.

I remoted in (just gave myself that ability last week), the back-end is being pulled using git via the commands recommended on the soapbox page. So the front and back-end are up to date as of just this second. you should be able to reload the page and the latest front-end will show up.
I suspect there's something else going on though, it isn't like there were any major changes in the past 7 days.

The front-end is 3.2.0, there's a zip file of the latest version on gitlab.
As for the back-end, I actually don't remember. I'll have to take a look when I get back home. Intuitively I expect I delete the code then just pull from git and rebuild, but it was a long time ago now I set up the auto-update scripts.

It's shocking, lemmy and kbin have absolutely exploded in the past 2 weeks. It seems like hundreds of new instances, new communities, and overwhelming numbers of new users.
If you're at war, limiting the communication of troop locations, or the exact details on building weapons of mass destruction I can see being limited. But there's not many situations, and we have seen the above reasons ballooned into much more than they should be because murasama must always drink blood
Government regulation of speech that is factually accurate and true is a like the sword Muramasa; once drawn it's cursed that it must drink blood before it's returned to it's scabbard.
That doesn't mean you never draw the sword, but it is something you only do with the direst need and with a grim understanding of the danger the action poses and that you will be hurting someone today.

We've seen big tech "embrace open protocols" before, and they embraced the protocols just long enough to kill the thing they were embracing.
If we let them, they'll suck all the oxygen out of the room. It'll be really bad.

I was waiting until I saw something show up in my feed to verify and I just saw it.
Peertube is the fediverse version of youtube. Different peertube instances can connect together so people can view videos from all over the Internet from the one user interface.
I was running some testing figuring out what I could federate with, and I found that if I plug the URL from a peertube channel into my lemmy search, it shows up like a community. Then I can follow it and new videos will show up in my lemmy feed. (I expect the same would work in kbin)
So for example, the minetest videos channel is at https://share.tube/c/minetestvideos/videos -- Just plug this URL into search, and suddenly minetestvideos is a community you're following on lemmy or kbin, and new videos will show up in your feed and you can watch them and comment on them right from here!
It's a really great example of how ActivityPub support lets you connect things you'd never expect to be able to connect. Imagine if on reddit you could just subscribe to a youtube channel!

Truth.
There is no such thing as a post-scarcity society, because something will always be scarce.

The thing I really don't understand is that socialism is the transitionary phase under Marx. You establish a dictatorship where the massive state controls everything, and then you magically end up with a stateless, classless society.
And that's absurd, which is why communism doesn't work.
