  • Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point.

  • So I don't really know how to feel about this.

    Permanent alimony seems silly to me. If I'm married for 10 years and get a divorce, why should I have to pay alimony for the next 40+ years?

    I'm not opposed to alimony though. My in-laws just got divorced. They were married for like 20 years and during that time my father in law owned a business and wanted his wife to stay at home and take care of the house, kids etc. Now that they are divorced she has no career or equity and is in her 50s so starting one from nothing is a huge challenge. So there are fringe cases out there where it makes sense.

    I don't know. I don't like DeSantis so as a reaction I want to be like "this is a dumb thing to do" but I just don't know.

  • Yeah. Something like if you have a sign up button, right next to it in the same font/style should be a cancel subscription button. Click it and you enter your credentials then you get a email with a link to confirm cancelation. Everything would mimic the sign up process.

  • I'm not sure where "here" is for you but I've traveled to many countries all over the world and I agree with you. No one does the fast part of fast food like the US. On the flip side though is that every fast food place I've been to outside the US has tasted much better. I remember being blown away at the difference in quality between a tacobell in the States and a tacobell in Spain.

  • If your question in this scenario is can a defederated Lemmy.3's posts reach Lemmy.1 if they're posted to a neutral intermediary (Lemmy.2)

    You worded it so much better than I did. That's what I was wondering, thanks for clearing it up for me.

  • Well I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea of federation but initially I imagine an instance could just not federate with an instance that doesn't use captcha/email verification during signup but my confusion is wondering if like there is a transitive trust in the fediverse. Like Lemmy.1 trusts Lemmy.2 and Lemmy.1 does not trust lemmy.3 but Lemmy.2 DOES trust lemmy.3... can bots from Lemmy.3 post on Lemmy.2 which will then be federated to Lemmy.1? Sorry, that seems super confusing as I type it out but it's the best way I can describe it.

  • I get that this is about Active Users but should we/the fediverse be concerned about the sheer number of bot accounts being created on brand new, questionable instances?
