Interested in programming, politics (especially local politics), law (especially copyright/patent law).
Nazi’s and genocide deniers can fuck right off. For the love of all that isn’t evil stop using lemmy and providing genocide deniers power.

Trying to grant fetuses rights isn’t “supporting pregnancies”, the line to restricting what pregnant people can do, including abortions, is direct and obvious. The fact that the sponsors of the bills have previously passed bills attempting to restrict abortion is a fact.
Supporting pregnancies would be doing things like passing more healthcare funding, better parental leave, literally just giving money to people with kids. That’s not what this bill was about.
We should really amend the law to be “and if they incorrectly deny a claim they have to pay 10 times more”. Enough to make it cost more than it’s worth if they do it intentionally, not enough to bankrupt them…

In addition to the more important issues that fedi-tips discusses I find their stance on anti-vax and US-election conspiracy theories… unappealing, which you can see being discussed here: https://lemmy.ml/post/143057
And that they haven’t been shy about exerting their power for political purposes. The hardcoded slur-filter was explicitly about discouraging “right wingers” (I put that in quotes because I suspect their definition of right wing and mine differ), and they at least use to be open about their intentions to moderate the instances that they run as explicitly “left wing” (though I don’t see a reference to that on the current site).
I can’t speak to Lemmy’s implementation (I refuse to go near lemmy on account of the maintainers “politics”), but there’s nothing fundamental about threading that should make posting slower.
Loading threads here is… different… work than loading your feed in mastodon, it’s possibly slower, but posting is from a theoretical standpoint the same. Probably you’re just seeing the effect of your lemmy instance not running on sufficient hardware (very understandable given the explosion in user space size).
What is a reddit thread if not a root tweet with a bunch of replies (and replies to the replies) formatted in a way that you see the organization of the replies?
Republicans have traditionally been the party of “regulation doesn’t work, elect me and I can prove it to you”.
Maybe Musk is just taking the logical counter-part to this “regulation doesn’t work, put me in charge of a heavily regulated company and I can prove it to you”.
