One of the benefits of the fediverse is that there is no over-arching code of conduct, precisely because there's no way to enforce it. Each instance's owner decides on what they are willing - and not willing - to host on their own instance. Other instances can "defederate" from yours if they don't like what's hosted there, which means the two instances will stop talking to each other, as beehaw did with lemmy.world. But there is no way to globally ban an instance off the face of the internet.
Welcome! I second https://lemmyverse.net/communities/ - it's a great way to find migrating communities and also new ones that have sprung up organically!
Also, for future reference, please put the question in the title of your post (rule 1). This helps people know if they're gonna be able to help you before they even click to read more. :)
Cheers. Normally I prefer light mode because I find it easier to read, and keeps me awake more during the afternoon slump. But it's very nice to have the option.
Morning. I have one heck of a migraine today. Like a hangover, only I didn't drink anything last night.
This feels like a good time to remind people that Lemmy does have a dark mode. You can enable it by clicking on your name in the top-right, then Settings, then scrolling down to theme and choosing "darkly" or something like it.
I would've started by asking them to explain these fees that you don't recognise, rather than immediately arguing. Take the innocent approach of "I don't recognise these charges on my bill, could you please explain them?"
I have never been allowed even inside a Costco without having my card scanned. As in, they scan them on the door. Sometimes there's a short queue to enter, and it's always been this way as long as I've been a member. Perhaps it's different elsewhere in the world?
Also, the law as written applies "if there is a significant bargaining power imbalance between its operator and news businesses … [such as] the intermediary occupies a prominent market position" (6: Application). I mean, let's be realistic, when you think "prominent search engine", how many search engines come to mind?
Lunch out today, as is my Friday tradition. Then I'm gonna be staying off Lemmy over the weekend to let the initial inrush of new users wash over us. Mad kudos to people who're gonna be here to help guide the masses on day one. :)
I'm probably gonna be taking a weekend off just to let the initial wave wash over us. Best wishes to Kaity, I'll see you fine folks on the other side. :)
