I suspect this won't be a popular opinion, but it seems strange to me that a lot of people are making a fuss about lemmy.world blocking communities that literally advocate for illegal practices. If you disagree with lemmy.world blocking piracy communities, where should they draw the line? Allow literally any community to be created irrespective of the legality of what its advocating for? I would presume (and hope) that you wouldn't have a problem with lemmy.world blocking CP communities for example?

The Fediverse can't function as a free-for-all. It has to have rules, and instances have to be able to police those rules for the betterment of the whole.

Just wait for Musky to try and start suing people for using anything with "X" in the title/name.

They're what is called federated. They use the same protocols which allow each to see the other. The best comparison I've heard to describe it is like how you can read emails irrespective if someone used Google Mail, Yahoo Mail, or Microsoft Outlook, or whatever email sending software.

I didn't put all my money in. I bought a 1.5% share. It was funded from part of my redundancy settlement from the previous company I worked for. Was it a gamble? Yes. Was it high risk to me? No. Besides the question wasn't asking for advice.

Buying shares in a company I work at when it started up. I've had a 500% return in dividends over 7 years so far.

Yes! It seems that half the community posts on here are just Reddit-bashing and that isn't going to drive engagement at all.

I'm using Jerboa and everything seems to be working fine. Edit: Jerboa started playing up mainly crashing on opening it. Binned it off and now using Connect

I'm new to Lemmy and on my first day trying to get to grips with it, I couldn't post a comment because the Community wouldn't allow the language (I was posting in English and all the other comments on the post were in English, and my language settings are set to Undefined and English). The whole language selection is actually a blocker to engagement at times.
