Not sure where these numbers come from, but its probably close to true

[The actual outcome of this election with •the whole US population• as the denominator:

22% voted for Harris 23% voted for Trump <1% voted for other 26% eligible but did not vote* 28% not eligible to vote](https://pod.haxxors.com/posts/cef4a6408974013d2c4b3b1e797ecdfc)

against the idea of Net Neutrality

Did this ever actually do anything. The only change I noticed was that shortly after it was repealed we could actually watch YouTube videos at my mother-in-law’s hosue (I’m assuming they were paying HughesNet to be able to make their content go faster than the artificially throttled maximum).

A network switch

that’s not true, there are multiple reasons one might like to, such as if you are interested in content that is blocked by one instance, particular if you want to access content on instance a and also content on instance b, and instance a blocks instance B, or vice versa.

you could want to have separate personalities, one that you discuss your expertise as a mechanic, and another that you use to talk about your expertise as a Furry.

You might want a sock account to argue with people without getting negative votes on your primary account, etc.

lemmy isn’t designed to do that, but mastodon is. For example if you paste the perma-link for your comment https://lemmus.org/comment/791388 into the search bar of your Mastodon account on Theres.life you’d find the same content at https://theres.life/@[email protected]/110834025709111907

maybe, maybe not. Particularly if your account is followed by anyone with a platform that doesn’t support DELETE from remote servers, like like earlier versions of Diaspora and GNU Social. and yoru delete command might not work such as if the remote server is down when the delete request is sent. Once you choose delete most platforms send a request to every server that it knows of to delete the same, if it doesn’t get a response within a certain amount of time it will request it again, and after so many failures it stops trying. The server could later come back up and it never know that the item was deleted.

I’m not sure aware off hand of any servers that make it easy for admins to turn off the ability to delete, but its Free Software so anyone could download the source code edit it as they see fit, like removing the delete function, compile it and run it on their own server.

Its a really great reminder that we all should assume anything that has ever been posted on the internet will exist forever. So don’t post stuff that is going to come back and haunt you.

especially the homeless children

I think you are confusing JW’s with LDS.

I used to work for a French company. My colleagues in France would take the whole damn month of August off, and then complain that North Americans never worked.

Lemmy has been around longer, so it is probably more robust, but Kbin has more features, including the ability to follow individual users across the 'verse, and has support for a number of Fedi groups, including Friendica Forums and Guppe Groups, that Lemmy has no support for.

They are different platforms, you can access Lemmy communities from Kbin, where it looks just like a kbin magazine, or from Friendica, where it looks just like a Friendica Forum, of from Mastodon, where it looks like an annoying bot that re-posts every comment as a separate Re-toot. —

There are many other Fediverse platforms but those are the ones I have the most experience with.

#libertrians #armtheHomeless The homeless are one of the most at risk group to authoritarian violence including, but not limited to, police. There is at least one campaign in my region looking to collect firearms that you don’t need anymore to donate them to the homeless.

except that being Free Software is WHAT matters, and why you would expect anything else from a Free and Federated network, I have no idea.

What you need to do is get the folks with “Good UX” to release their app under a Free Software license, not get mad at people with morals.
