Thank you for the clarifications!

I've been enjoying my time on Beehaw and Lemmy at large. I'm astounded that removed content isn't also marked for removal on other instances. That moderators have to duplicate each others efforts is actually nuts. That opens up every Lemmy instance to an insane risk of abuse.

I will stick around to see whats next for Beehaw. I have to say though, the reason I enjoy Lemmy specifically is that it is so much more readable than Twitter or traditional forums ever were. The nested structure of comments is not something I'll easily give up.

There are many scenarios you'd want seo and a csr. Let's say you want a media player. Tons of interactivity, and lots of content. A landing page isn't going to cut it.

But that's the beauty of a framework like nuxt or next - you don't have to choose. You can have your cake and eat it too so to speak.

I think you may be missing the concept of 'hydration'. A server side rendered app will deliver the pre rendered markup so that the client has something to immediately display while the framework continues to bootstrap in the background. It makes for much quicker and more efficient first loads, or 'time to first paint'. A SSR website will still be a CSR website after hydration completes.

In addition, many web crawlers are unable to execute JavaScript. So for many single page applications, or CSR as you call them, they appear as a blank screen to less sophisticated crawlers because the content is never loaded. This is an catastrophe for things like SEO. SSR fixes this issue by delivering the content without regard to JS execution for the initial load.

Pierre Elliot Trudeau, a former prime minister of Canada, has a great quote that I like to pull out: "No place for the state in the bedrooms of of the nation."

I think sex work should be legal and regulated to avoid trafficking and other health issues. General indecency shouldn't be allowed, like in playgrounds, parks, or where minors may otherwise be present. Private clubs, events, etc. should be fine. Governments should otherwise be uninvolved in our sex lives. It's none of their business.

However to answer your question directly, while I think it should be legal I also think it's sad when men use a sex workers services. I try not to, but I can't help but judge them. There's only a handful of reasons where I think its a persons only option. If someone feels like they've run out of options, it's just sad to me. What's gone wrong? Where's your confidence? Have you given up?

And for those legitimate reasons, like someone who's physically handicapped - that's heartbreaking for whole other reasons.

It just makes me sad.

I'm very happy for you. Stories like yours helped motivate me to do similar. I've semi-recently come out to a few friends of mine that I'm bi / pan, but still only have one foot outside the closet. I did it for no particular reason other than to see what it felt like to be open about it for once. I'm glad I did. It felt like taking a gasp of fresh air after holding my breath for far too long. While it wasn't a life changing moment for me like it has been for others, self-acceptance has dramatically eased my emotional stress, and I hope we can encourage more to do the same.

I do spend much less time, but it's a good thing. I was heavily addicted to Reddit. Lemmy scratches that itch, but it's not completely dominating my focus like Reddit had been. It feels like a much healthier relationship I'm having with social media than I had before, and I'm experiencing significantly less anxiety day to day the past few weeks. I'm 100% a doom scroller.

AOC is going to be president one day, isn't she? I truly admire her.

You're 100% right to be baffled. Where I live we've seen extreme push back against the concept. The anti-vaxxers from the pandemic have latched onto the message in my area, and are saying that it will create ghetto's where it makes governments more able to enforce lock downs and restrict our freedoms. I don't see how they connected those dots together. It's actually crazy.

He may have disabled his own token in advance to avoid charges? That's what I would have done in his scenario.
