See I get that but I also feel like Lemmy in some ways has more hostile discourse. Too many people with incredibly entrenched opinions about something incredibly niche who then proceed to shout down anyone who doesn't partake in that niche.

Like at least on Reddit the aggressive circlejerks tend to align with mainstream thought. Like you don't have to point out things like Linux isn't actually perfect and there are reasons Windows may be better in some circumstances or that invading a foreign country because of something they might hypothetically do is not a nice thing to do.

Actually thinking about it, my one anecdote is that my interviewer for a job application was Swiss. Didn't offer any pleasantries to make me feel less nervous just dove straight into the technical task straight away. I didn't get the job

Would have been nice to have amended the headline to reflect the actual story.

Yeah but compared to British plugs that have a bajillion safety features.

American plugs terrify me.

I suspect it's a case of they thought they were getting a good deal out of this when they signed the contract but didn't realise how much Taylor was going to take the piss until it was too late. Likely when the contract expires it probably won't be renewed.

And not just the instance admins would be at risk as well. Any time you view an image your device is making a local copy of it. Meaning every person who viewed the image even accidentally is at risk as well.

... I can think of one possibility - an instance known that lemmy.world recently defederated from.
