“Free speech” is just a dog whistle and gas lighting now.

You're not wrong, but I remember when free speech was more of a liberal issue. Freedom for artistic expression and all that. Freedom to curse in music, freedom to create and view porn etc.

Im interested as well because Dove is the only one that doesn't dry out my skin. They do have unscented Dove, but may be hard to find.

How about sexy John Oliver promoting Lemmy? Make reddit delete the post instead of the mods.

Looks nice!.. So do you have one of the bolts going through the rafter behind the fascia then?

12' x 12'. I was going to use a steel cable anchored 2 points to 6x6 posts and the other 2 points into the roof rafters with a sturdy hook screw through the fascia into the roof rafters with this. My plan is similar to this video.

 

I was thinking of installing a shade sail to my house with 2 of the points anchored to my house. The type of sail I'm installing is a square type I found on Amazon. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether this is safe in the event of high winds? Some videos I've found suggests the most you need to do is make sure you're tying into the end of a roof rafter... I know how to locate that, but I'm still a little nervous high winds could damage that part of my roof. Anyone have experience with this? Am I being too paranoid with this as a concern?

It probably /could/ be duplicated across servers, but I don’t see the benefit.

I would think what this reddit api fiasco proves is that its ultimately necessary. What's to stop an individual host from going the same way as reddit? What is to stop the host from running out of money to host the community? Lastly, would be nice to provide load balancing for high volume communities.

So with the Federated business.. Can a community be 'hosted' on multiple servers? I've seen some communities with the same name on different hosts, but completely different posts and moderation rules.

Anyone find anything good for space news?

Yeah a lot of naysayers had me convinced a short protest would do nothing, but you're right... This is about awareness. I've noticed particularly in the last year a downgrade in quality content on reddit and im sure others are noticing. Lemmy might not be ready yet, but it can be with some building inertia and useability improvements.

I'm actually impressed it seems to be holding up rather well from what I'm seeing. Is there anywhere to view the uptick in traffic?
