That would also have worked as a title for this OP, yes.

That’s… a good excuse actually. A being without access to their towel is really no being at all, really.

They make it extremely difficult, while still remaining on Lemmy.

PieFed makes it trivially easy. As do the older apps Sync and Connect. Otherwise you are looking at something like a custom Ublock Origin filter rule, or starting your own instance (or joining one that has already defederated from them, which almost none do).

The “instance block” is sadly misnamed as it does not block the instance, nor its users, and would be better thought of as a community mute.

PieFed is awesome for other reasons - it has a ton of features that Lemmy lacks, and is even working on features that Reddit itself did not bother with (notice how all of its features for the last many years were designed solely to increase profits, rather than enhance user experiences?). Its being built using Python rather than the extremely difficult to use Rust is really catapulting its development into overdrive.

Correction: wants to => has already, twice (I will leave you to guess which one(s):-P)

This only makes sense for those for whom cruelty is not the point. 👉 ☝️

(Looks at normal) - who the hell would want to be like that!? We getchu fam, you are loved here among us weirdos:-P.

Even what the media does choose to report, it dramatically lessens the estimates of crowd sizes (by multiple orders of magnitude - I wish I were joking here but no).

Also there are multiple organizations doing the organizing, so lack of a listing in any one of them does not indicate absence of an event.

The media has never been more biased, it would seem. They report whatever they think will maximize profits and please their oligarch overlord who purchased them the most. Capitalism working as intended, actually. Hence the need to check multiple sources of media or spend a GREAT deal of time, energy, effort, and most costly of all, attention, figuring out which ones to trust. No I have no idea who it is that can be (none? hence back to checking multiple, and correlating with primary sources as well).

It is no surprise then that you are seeing a biased picture… by design.

Skill issue.

This community is the best one there is.

I would like to retract my previous statement. This community is the 2nd best there ever is, while the one in this photo stands in a class all its own.

Well that… escalated quickly.

I feel like… nope, not gonna do it, not this time!

I for one find [removed] incredibly offensive.

Which is why I love saying it, just to revel in the freedom that I can: [removed], [removed], [removed], [removed], [removed], only Ferengi fucking are not allowed to say [removed]!

i reckon so

So… “ooh a squirrel 🐿️” then? :-P

And also virtually every single post in this community lately, until a couple days ago, but now resurrected again!:-)
