User pointed to a history of bad behaviour to counter the idea of “lets wait”. User suggested to learn from history and use that as a metric for decisions.

You just trolled your way into this and think consequentially you are ‘clever’. You are not.

The best argument I heard to defederate and have noting to do with Meta is this; this is the company that had/has a platform where hate, disinformation and lies have created a divide in society, several older generations were ‘socially engineered’ to start to think differently, more absolute and right wing. In short, Meta has a platform known for causing division amongst countrymen and families.

Pre-emptive nuking is what is needed, followed by some DDT thrown over it for good measure. This needs to stop. This is not a technical decision, this is a social one in order to try and save us from that shitshow FB/Zuck/Meta gave us.

Yes, the reasonable stance. Because that worked every time, all the time with commercial entities.

Curious, how do you know the team put him on that spot at the front? Maybe Checo is so nervous and anxious he ‘asks’ for those kind of actions as he thinks that will help him? I have seen panic in people before and they make the wrong calls all the time. And I have seen some that get worse when it just keeps on getting bad for them; they will force others in the team to make mistakes because he will ‘demand’ the action for he thinks it will help him.

I see this as a typical panicky move by a guy who has lost his way and the team is starting to give in because there is no helping a panicked man that will trust none from where the help might come. Classic mistake to make and that is all on Checo.

Sainz and RB/Max is not a good combo in my opinion. Sainz has ambitions, dreams.

Just like Checo, dreaming and fantasising that they also could become world champion! They are wrong and delusional if they have that in the RB 2nd seat. What RB needs is a safe pair of experienced hands that will be glad to be driving F1. No lofty ambitions, just the realisation what they are here for: help clinch constructors title and support Max in races so he is not sandwiched between competitors.
I.e. they need Hulkenberg, Ricciardo, Magnussen. That kind of driver.
 
I will give RB the benefit of the doubt though, they must have been baffled by the attitude and misplaced dreams of Checo and his entourage (nay, the entire population of Mexico). They gave an older reasonably good driver a lifeline back into F1 and then he gets uppity? And then underperforms like a rookie?

Boot Checo today if not tomorrow.

Hence the insane downforce, they would liftoff and ascend the skies if not for that.

The alternative realities allowed to exist in conservative or republican groups/communities.

I severely wish for this to not happen here. But I’m not naive, conservatives always follow and then start to destruct what others have created.

Is /r/conservative leaking into lemmy?

Nope but I didn’t use twitter either, nor will I use Mastodon. Just not my cup of tea as it is a vile place and you can clearly see in the last couple of twitter years why I was right on this one. Mastodon and Threads will suffer the same fate imho. This type of platform attracts…certain weird and extreme people.

Campfire and Beans

Yep, true. I have all faith in the community to upend reddit in record speed. The awesomeness of the internet and it flowing where it will flow is just too good. Today someone pointed me to this proxy to transform an instance into a reddit UI.

https://lemmy.bolha.one/vlemmy.net/
(replace vlemmy.net with another instance to achieve the same)

This is why I like the internet so, so much. In the end, it will find a way :-)

Oh. Oh wow wow. Seems to work on different instances as well? This I tried for VLemmy.net :

So China is accepting Japan into their midst and getting all buddy-buddy?
How very Nanking of them…
China will never ever consider Japan as an equal or viable partner. Breaking the bond between West and Japan? Sure, they are all about that but being buddies and accepted into China? Never ever happening.

I agree. Had the same thought. Right now I think the influx will be tech savvy users fleeing reddit and have no big problems understanding Lemmy.

However, there will be (I hope!) a larger influx of ‘normal’ users wanting to check Lemmy out (my theory is that all the content creators are ending up here and the lurkers will start to follow content in the end) will have a hard time. Why bother them with instances or how you pick communities, how the fediverse works? Just allow people to sign-up, no forcing to choose server, one account only, deal with that login/create account when you end up on different servers, etc. Just make the initial access a smooth pane of glass. Later they can deep-dive in the tech if the so choose to. Just stop throwing tech into peoples faces, it really is as simple as that. Like someone else stated, if I drive a car I should not have knowledge about my engine, model/type of crankshaft, timing of the belt, etc. I have a garage for that sort of thing and I will not be bothered with details (unless I ask the mechanic of course).

I said this before and it seems that the ‘core’ or ‘old skool’ Lemmy users have issues with that, you should have to know the tech if you want to join.
I hope this will not be a typical open source/low level attitude of admins and tech savvy people where people are just lost in that tech maze. Whatever you need to run in the background, do whatever, just give me an alternative to reddit. This is not me speaking but I fear the average emigrating reddit user will want this simpleness. And why not give it to them, why force people to understand fediverse?

I disagree. So that knocks the “we all know that” nonsense.

If you look behind Max you will see a ton of really interesting things happening. Or not, if you have no eye for that. Then yes, for you it is boring.
