Yes. I’ll read the content, but I try to avoid interacting.

Mind you, db0 himself is a tankie, although he doesn’t seem to insist on imposing that on the users or communities on his instance.

EDIT: I stand corrected. Apologies to db0 for lumping him in with that crowd.

Gotcha. So all horses are purple?

All images are stacked bar charts if you try hard enough

Does that mean the engagement band is just a semiring?

Lemmy doesn’t have karma farming because it doesn’t have karma.

Accounts earn their reputation based on name recognition, not some artificial score.

Defederation is a tool of last resort. Before taking that step as a community we should attempt to engage the admins to align them towards more acceptable behavior. Migrating communities away from instances with petty and abusive admins is always a good idea, and this absolutely qualifies.

Calling to defederate merely on the basis of political opinion might be premature. However, I suspect defederation will happen for legal reasons: they host users who openly support terrorist organizations designated as such by the EU. LW is subject to Dutch law - hosting such content is more of a gray area than CSAM, but still very much illegal in most countries.

The reason I’m not pushing here with examples is because I have not yet contacted the mods/admins to remove said content. They may have simply not been aware and I’ll give them that chance. But even seeing that content has a chilling effect on users who would contribute - even in unrelated communities.

Centrifuges spin really fast, so you need to balance out the things they’re spinning, otherwise it can fall catastrophically.

Stick everything on one side and it will effectively explode.

Intel, whose investment will be over five years, will pay a corporate tax rate of 7.5% instead of 5% previously. The normal tax rate is 23%, but under Israel’s law to encourage investment in development areas, companies receive large benefits.

Usually these types of grants are never a good investment but the increased corporate tax rate alone covers a third of the grant (9b yearly taxable revenue at 2.5% over 5 years comes out to 1.125b).
