That Rob Colbert guy has also explained in a video why “ActivityPub sucks” on his opinion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kDtZ8MBWy8

Oooh, we have a genius here! In case you were too nosy to not notice, here’s what this community is about.

About the subject itself, is OP suggesting that fake PR events should be made to promote Fediverse or something? That’s only how this would make sense.

What does this have to do with Fediverse?

No I won’t, the weather is too cold for her to get here anyways. Also it looks like Exploding Heads is becoming a place for Wolfballs refugees.

Brilliant as always!

This isn’t really a proper open-ended question that would spark larger discussion.

No

Can’t remember the exact way I found out about Lemmy. I must have been browsing Reddit or Mastodon and suddenly there was lots of talk about Lemmy.

We also have a community for Neovim.

Same, didn’t know about Organic Maps already. Might as well test it, as currently I am using HERE WeGo.

There was one short-lived porn-themed instance but it didn’t federate with anyone and later switched to Postmill.

My guess is that you receive new users mainly via join-lemmy.org/instances, is that correct?

I haven’t really done promotion for my instance so that is correct.

I think it would help a lot of we put 2-4 “recommended instances” at the top of that page, particularly small or general-purpose instances like yours. It would also be pretty simple to have different recommendations for each language, which should help regional instances. There could be a sort of tag system as well, but thats a bit more effort to implement. What do you think?

That would be magnificent!

On a side note, we would also like to help with the creation of a general-purpose instance that is less focused on politics than most of the existing instances.

My intention with sopuli.xyz was to create a general-purpose instance with no specific political leaning.

And the fact that the software and flagship instance have the same name adds to it.

Nice! Sopuli runs on Hetzner’s servers and Hetzner has used green energy for some time. https://www.hetzner.com/unternehmen/umweltschutz/

And yet:

Without providing evidence, Denis Pushilin, the separatist leader in Donetsk, accused Ukraine of preparing to attack the two regions soon – an accusation Kyiv said was false.

“There are no orders to liberate our territories by force,” said Ukraine’s top security official, Oleksiy Danilov.

One can send private messages to other users on Lemmy but the messages are not end-to-end encrypted. Matrix can be used also for chatting with one other, making a “chatting service” for Lemmy would be just redundant.

I have already banned several trolls from Sopuli and turned email verification on. I don’t understand why I put email verification off in first place. Regardless, I’m watching the situation.

Clowns or terrorists, they are banned regardless.

Some of the mods may be sleeping; here in Finland the clock is 12:37 but in New York it’s 05:37.

I have already banned those clowns from Sopuli.xyz, it’s good if the mods of Lemmy.ml do their jobs too.

For Python I would use requests and Selenium.

Not currently, each user can change the theme for their liking through the normal settings menu. I’ve been thinking how it would be nice for an instance admin to be able to select a default theme. Instead of seeing the same blue and green everywhere it would give each instance their own identities.

And unicorns that fart rainbows will fly.

Whose sockpuppet are you?

Gateway Pundit? Might as well put The Onion.

The author of that study, Kyle Beattie, doesn’t have a medical background. He isn’t a virologist or anything, he’s a political science graduate!

Also, that study is a preprint, a version of a scholarly or scientific paper that precedes formal peer review and publication in a peer-reviewed scholarly or scientific journal. It hasn’t been even peer reviewed yet!

On Windows I have been using Notepad++, Nano on Linux.

It looks to be the biggest one at least, there may be several others.

I could bother debating with you extensively, but it appears you have resorted to the Gish gallop. There’s already lots of research by credible sources (such as health authorities) around the world regarding the efficacy COVID vaccines, vaccines that have been given for a year now.

Why was Pfarma trying to push release of the data from their studies until 75 years from now?

https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/paramount-importance-judge-orders-fda-hasten-release-pfizer-vaccine-docs-2022-01-07/

This isn’t “Pfarma’s” fault, FDA’s department reviewing FOIA requests is understaffed.

How many years of safety data exists for mRNA based vaccine use in humans?

How many years would satisfy you? Here’s loooooong analysis regarding 3 massive COVID MRNA vaccine studies.

https://medium.com/microbial-instincts/mrna-vaccine-safety-and-risks-a-one-year-update-from-the-u-s-u-k-and-israel-20402f345dca

In summary:

After nearly a year since mass vaccination began, we now have a better understanding of the mRNA (and DNA) vaccine’s safety profile. Yes, those vaccines have risks. But like any medical intervention, such risks must be weighed against the risks of infection or benefits of vaccination. This risk-benefit assessment may differ substantially in some people, but for the overwhelming majority, vaccines are the more reasonable choice.

Here’s one brilliant example why you are wrong.

Experimental? The COVID vaccines currently in use have been trialled with appropriate ethics and then approved. MRNA technology has been researched for some 30 years. Doesn’t stop the spread or infection? The vaccines limits transmissibility of the virus by reducing viral load and induces immunity - no vaccine is 100 % effective.

“A rooster crows at sunrise, therefore the sunrise is caused by the crowing of the rooster.”

How can one exactly tell that the doctor died exactly because of the booster shot? The causality here is shoddy.

Yeah sure…

It also sucks that I can’t use admin tools on Lemmur.

They could use Plausible Analytics instead.

Nice nice!

Added! :)
