If an instance has alt front ends they’re usually listed in the sidebar of that instances home page :)

The only other one available on your instance is: https://oldsh.itjust.works/ but you could login to your instance using the alexandrite installation on the project page

If you decide to not use StickerMule again, as the org I’m part of now has, I’d suggest that rather than simply not using them to login to your SM account, then contact them via their Support interface and ask them to remove your account and all data associated with it or direct them to tell you how you can do it yourself and end by telling them exactly why.

Instead of u/username its @username@instancedomain which translates to https://instancedomain/u/username

Instead of r/subname its !communityname@instancedomain which translates to https://instancedomain/c/communityname

Basically, in the body of a post or comment, use the ! or @ format to create a workable link.

I’d been flirting on and off with Lemmy for a year or so, not using it seriously (different username) but then u/spez deciding to sell user data to LLM’s coupled with the general air of permanent aggro in just about every sub led me to finally ditch it. I’ve had to go back a couple of times and every time I did I regretted it. It’s become Twitter level users intertwined with bot armies all flinging shit at each other.

Depending on what part of the world these people live in, the actions of these vigilantes might screw up the chance of a successful prosecution.

I’m in the UK and I remember watching a copper interviewed on the the TV asking people not to do it as a lot of the time it results in inadmissible evidence and might even give pedos chance to delete evidence. I think he also said he was aware of multiple instances of the pedo-hunters getting the wrong person at the ‘sting’.

That said, I doubt these pedo-hunters really care about abused kids, it seems mostly about bragging rights and youtube views.

Being old does the trick for me.

Is this a reprimand or an invitation to spew hate at other sections of society like him?

The only way this story could be more American was if it had been a child dolphin, in a public school.

Pensioner is short for OAP (Old Age Pensioner), so called because they are retired and eligible for the state pension.

Can’t recall them being the butt of a lot of jokes though.

• Patrick O’Brian
• Hilary Mantel
• Shirley Jackson
• Peter Straub
• Donna Tartt
• Douglas Adams
• Jane Austen
• Mary Shelley
• Sylvia Plath (poetry, fiction not so much)
• Richard Matheson
• Ursula K Le Guin
• Connie Willis

Unless a characters race or gender or ethnicity or (dis)ability is a key component of either their arc or the story as whole (e.g. the plot depends on it), who the fuck cares who’s playing who? I saw the same thing happen when the Dune movie had the Liet-Kynes character portrayed by a black woman. It makes absolutely zero difference to the story what gender or race Liet-Kynes was and she was really good anyway.

Wolf Hall, because the books were brilliant and this, although not as good as the book is also very good and has Mark Rylance in it, who is always fantastic.

Ah, the old “it was just one or two bad apples” gambit.

Maybe pay teachers enough that they don’t have to do this if they don’t want to?

And if they do want to, how does it affect their efficacy as a teacher?

They’re linked aren’t they? If someone asks you a question they’re asking for why you hold a particular opinion, therefore simply by providing detail you’re defending yourself, or at least the opinion you hold.

Go and check who’s currently second in line to the US presidency then tell me the far right aren’t rising in power. Thinking it’s a false narrative to trick leftists is the best way to reverse Uno yourself into fascist totalitarianism I can think of.

Looks like yunohost with a nicer interface but less apps and less config options.

Maybe not right now, but when shareholders start demanding action over NSFW subs or subs that discuss illegal activities or subs that discuss the evils of capitalism or subs that just aren’t profitable and those subs start getting shuttered, then they will.
