It’s the plagues.

Sidenote: I love the little arrows you had for links, how did you achieve that?

There’s an app that does this pretty well called Ground News. For a given topic it will show the coverage across the political spectrum. However, I didn’t think that this community was limited to English? Either way, I guess you could start putting one together.

I’m pretty sure it just doesn’t suit New Zealand right now to call him a dictator, especially with a visit coming up in a week. Australia and New Zealand have to occupy a precarious position because they are European/Western in nature but obviously closest to the Asian powers. Therefore they have to try and be besties with the US whilst staying ok with China.

Controlling input devices is a massive PITA it turns out. What would be been a couple of lines with xinput involved a massive (to a beginner at least) stuff around with config files. There should be a GUI way to turn off input devices.

Warns? It’s been going on for decades.

I’ve heard that since it’s in international waters he was able to skirt most regulation on subs.

I personally would like to see posts in 4 languages and as far as I can tell it won’t let me specify more than one in my profile so I just leave it on undefined. I’m having I guess the opposite issue to you in that I’m only seeing English content when I would like to see some in my other (non-native) languages for better immersion.

Doesn’t surprise me too much tbh. I don’t think I’d make an account with Beehaw but I might end up making one with a small instance they federate with to have access. While they have a right to defederate it’s not something I like seeing.

The community vibe is definitely a huge motivation. They want to be able to control the sort of people on their instance which they can’t do if the mass user bases from lemmy.world etc. that are (relatively) neutral have access. It’s a shame because they had some good communities established.

NTA she’s probably just insecure about having eaten the chocolate faster than she thought.

Help was there when you needed it, even for niche software or usecases there was more often than not someone who had already asked the question or who could help. This has been invaluable every time I’ve tried something new (eg. Making a static website, learning Spanish, switching to Linux.)

Classic useless answer but nothing ATM 🙃. I’ve been travelling for a few months and won’t be able to host anything til I get home mid July. However, I do have plans to host a website or two, maybe even a Bookwyrm, Lemmy or Mastodon instance.

I keep searching for it on my phone before realising I deleted the app 🙃

What servers do you want defederating from?
