I attempt to ignore it…

Ignoring the US news is the only way I maintain my sanity. Focus on things I can change, and control. I tried staying within the US laws to affect change, to no avail. Now have to support those I can, and protect me and mine.

Any excuse to get more profits.

Alternative view points are good to have, don’t want a echo chamber. That said, being a Nazi, supporting them, or attacking trans, LQBTQ folks isn’t a difference of opinion ; it’s a fundamental flaw of the far right, treating humans as less than such. That is not an agreeable stance.

One thing my grandma did to prove it was by saying ;sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root / #. You can prove you’re human by leaving that as a comment too.

Good efforts. It’ll be interesting to see if it comes to fruition and how effective it can be. Mozilla often shutters projects due to funding constraints or lack of adoption as well as had recent cuts to its internet advocacy staff.

These are not alternatives to streaming music.

Thanks for your detailed analysis and input.

I honestly don’t know. But I hear you, I should vet things better.

Respect is earned, not given.

What a moron.

I enjoy the Fairhaven episodes, but not the ones where Janeway has a romantic interest there.

Would require frontend work and maybe some glue for the backend. I think the Photon Front end does some of those embeds. I’m sure there’s others, but not confident that any would work with Beehaw’s older Lemmy version. Better to spend energy on the sublinks convert, or my home-grown alternative Fediverse stack.

Here’s to a year that doesn’t suck as much as the last few.

Welcome to the shitshow.

I mean, CONGRATS On leaving that shitshow. Welcome to the hive, happy to see more folks finding this space and contributing to make it better,

That is a acceptable response, functional, respectful disagreement is good! Can you share more about why you think that though? What could this community do that a new one for the specificness of the one you want?

Interesting discussion and question, thanks!

I am a reformed catholic. Raised as and confirmed Catholic, but as I’ve gotten older and more rebellious I’ve seen nothing but problems with religion. That is, I am not nor ever been an atheist, but I don’t believe in any man-made religion as truth. They’re shams to take your money; and some do some good for others. I am spiritual and believe in something greater than all of us. Maybe not the puppetmaster, but I feel there is some underlying driving connection and cosmic force we cannot explain or ignore. Your God? My God? Who knows, I do not claim to. But I feel it there and I feel better for it.

Actions on site and web traffic/use, behavior to Beehaw indicate suspicious users for our purposes. TOR and VPN use does increase those metrics/probability, but is not the sole determining reason.

What phone?

FWIW Beehaw uses gatus which is easy to setup and customize to your values. Also has some nifty uptime ‘buttons’ to showcase you history. Beehaw live status https://status.beehaw.org
