It's one thing if a person has a distaste for musk, but destroying someones property (a Tesla) after they buy a car, which seems to be a common trend. There are people that buy cars that probably don't pay attention to politics and have no idea about Elon Musk, but just know that Trump is president. I just feel if you're trying to target Musk, that isn't really winning you any favors destroying the cars that people bought.

The action of beating of any person based strictly on their race alone is hopefully unpopular, but the teacher's actions probably (I hadn't read the article yet.) was not due to the students race but the maga hat they were wearing, and publicly displaying. (I seen this story too many times I just know thee's a good percent chance that could be the reasoning.)

and also what that hats movement meant to that teacher probably had an impact on the teachers actions. Their feeling against the maga movement and everything maga stands against, brought it out of this teacher.

How can Lemmy or Mastodon become more centralized like email, if it is the users who are signing up to the top largest servers. Users naturally might be attracted to servers with higher user counts.

I don't think Trump would pick a safe place for you to be deported to because as I seen from some of the statements from the organization and supporters, if they were to deport someone this administration may consider them as some of the worse.

That's what I was getting at when I was saying "deported to some country Trump had happened to pick for you." So even if you know of places that might be safe places to get deported to, that doesn't mean that's where the Trump Administration might deport someone.

Someone should take this stance to the supreme court or to a judge because this just screams obviously, as a 1st amendment violation since it is coming directly from the government, rather then strictly from private a social media platform.

compared to everything else besides email, 50 or above looks good when you don't have as much competition aiming to get to 100%

If users go to the defualt server, while things are federated, Mastodon and Lemmy already did their service by using activity pub.

It just seems like possibly we need to more so, educate users why going to the largest server could be a negative thing potentially leading to a monopoly. On one note, Lemmy.world isn't a defualt server, while lemmy.ml was. So at least Lemmy is doing better in that regard while Mastodon.social, a default/official server from the original devs of Mastodon, could prove being even more concentrating them the trend on Lemmy where users might g to lemmy.world.

Ideally I'd like to see all types of different servers have user activity, but with a low user count, to make this more liley to happen the word about Fediverse needs to be advertised and spread around. So more people can discover it.

I feel like somehow advertising it at local libraries would acually help it go up in discoverability on poster or billboards etc.

If Elon Musk says he's a Christian been awhile but remember something where Elon was looking into Christianity, the Bible probally says something about having empathy for others. Is he one of those "sinners" that claim to be Christian?

If you completely repeal section 230, this would ultimately make moderating Nazi content on a Lemmy instance illegal, since if something illegal doesn't get taken down but others do said Fediverse servers would be looked at as a publisher not a platform. So by "getting your revenge on Facebook and X" in this way you are only downgrading your selves in the process.

What's considered an acceptable score on this? After looking at Lemmy and Mastodon barely making half the score.

There's also character ai among others. Status AI isn't exactly the first "AI Social Media".

Lemmy is the only place I can feel safe, as an aromantic person. You'd probably be shocked some people are even against a person labeling ones self as an aromantic person. I had one gotten one person banned on Lemmy.world because of a post I made on an aromantic community, because they really wearn't interested. They were essentially trying to gatekeep.

As an aromantic person, under the 'a' umbrella of LGBTQ+ I think if parents can prevent kids from just simply exploring their attractions or their gender identity can be a form of suppression. If the kid wanted to explore it on their own, it's different as if the thing was forced on them. In a way Christianity, had been forced on millions to an extent. If you're following the law just to protect yourself legally with some decisions you may make for your child I guess that might be more acceptable then forcing a religious Bible that we don't know is actually real or not.

In the case of this ruling, I just.. think that this is based on a book written at one point of time by a group of people. A fairy tale, and used as an excuse for parents to suppress people they don't want to be seen or to exist. Whether they are doing it in legit hate or whether they truly believe in what the Bible is saying in the Christian sense is true, they are really just suppressing these groups of people. Intentional or not, they are suppressing them from existing and expressing themselves.

I had a similar issue a few years ago when attempting to upload a video on Mastodon but the server wouldn't accept the video at all. Not sure why.

Audio should be there if the video is. Check the original video and that there is audio. If there is could be a codecs issue. Might want to ensure your video is using widely supported codecs. Or double check codecs the Lemmy may support. In this case, could be related specifically to an audio codec.
