While 700k may look like a lot (and by most objective measures it is), the skill set needed to run a successful non/not for profit is actually quite unique no matter how big or small it is. They do not work not like “normal” CEOs. Replace caring about share price, and moving the share price up effectively versus caring about voluntary donations from people who get nothing out of but perhaps a tax break. And you’re competing not against other equities (stocks); you’re competing against other non/not for profits for limited money and attention.

Anyway, just saying I do not begrudge that level of compensation to the people running the last corner of the internet not filled with AI slop.

Yes see comment above.

I wasn’t going to get into how we form possessives; it will confuse and scare them.

GHOW-da is about the closest English approximation. The G sound is quite different in Dutch though.

Doing the lord’s work here.

But …crows are a type of corvid. So, you are not Unidan, but we may someday summon him yet.

Unidan?

Do we really spell it, “meems” My kids spell it memes?

I’ll always upvote this one, because I so want it to be true.

Thank you that simplifies things. Not sure I want to store everything local, but yeah that’s an option.

Although looking deeper into what I found, initially, potentially disturbing about Proton mail, I’m not sure I should rule it out yet.

Hey thanks! Massive list, do you have a personal short list? Main thing is I need lots of storage.

Wait what? I was just about to switch to Proton from gmail to avoid giving oligarchs more money and data?

They really supported the fascists?

It’s got dat alliteration on its side though!

Hey, if they get traction, it’s a start.

You can also search for “starter packs” of helpful people to follow in whatever you are interested in, e.g., history, cooking, overthrowing the government, etc.

Haven’t been there in a decade despite having been there for a decade and helping many real people in real life from there, and I’d have to say: depends on who the target of the violence is and whether or not it’s phased in the subjunctive mood.

Well you have just described Metafilter. I’m a liberal a lefty as can be, and eventually even I got tired of the drama and obvious virtue signaling. And at the end of the day, drama and less-than-appropriate virtue signaling were what the mods wanted.

This is a good answer and probably the right solution (still not 100% convinced defederating isn’t, ultimately, going to be the answer though).

But your Jane/Joe Average User doesn’t look to see which instance that pr0n cute picture of a cat holding a teddy bear is on. They probably don’t even understand the concept of different instances showing content from others. Hell I’ve been online since 1992 and it took me a couple of days to get my head around it when I joined.

So I think we need some kind of step by step “If you see X, then do Y” sticked to the instances that care about this for the people who (like me) do care about this issue.

I too am skeptical, but there have been so many of these the last few days… is it just a new meme?

And the SWIFT System.
