Fun fact: Lemmy instances cap at 60. they’re not storing reversibly, they’re just using bcrypt and rather than pre-hashing the pw before bcrypt like most bcrypt users do, they just truncate to 60.

So, we’ve all had a... time on Reddit lately. And I’m here to recognize it, acknowledge that our relationship has been tested, and begin the “now what?” conversation.

acknowledge that our relationship has been tested

This is so emotionally manipulative / abusive, and says everything anyone needs to know about reddit/spez. It's like if someone burns down your house and says "look i'm here to acknowledge that your house has been burned down, but we can still work things out bestie <3"

The father didn’t “lose” anyone. His daughter is still right there, he could have a loving and close relationship with her if he chose to accept her for who she is. He didn’t lose his son, he chose to reject his daughter.

Choosing to not support your children is how you become estranged from your children, not something to feel sorry for the parent for. It just makes the father a piece of shit. This statement is true of all shitty parents, not just transphobic shitbags.

Hey don’t associate Nazis with punks please. punk culture is very anti-nazi.

Not the ad revenue checks. Reddit isn’t profitable even with ad revenue. The new reddit profit model is selling freely-contributed user-generated content to AI companies with a lot of money who want to train thei LLM’s on reddit content.

This is about ChatGPT checks, not ad revenue checks.

Took me 5 minutes, was approved a couple hours later. just answer the questions honestly.

Wow, trimming passwords without telling the password owner is a terrifying behavior.

Also, having a password limit at less than 256 chars is silly in the modern world of password managers, and even 256 is a completely arbitrary limit i pulled out of my ass.

Why does the lemmy platform require short passwords, i wonder? nobody with any sense of modern, or even out-dated decades ago, sense of security stores passwords raw anymore, and hasn’t forever because it was recognized as a terrible idea and a bad pattern decades ago.

I do pills because im too much of a baby for needles if i can avoid it haha. easier to take 3 pills twice a day than periodic injections where i hate the whole process. im a silly girl

On reddit, you have reddit.com -> subreddits. on lemmy you have [all lemmys, including this one] -> the lemmy i have an account on -> communities.

Similar to how you can post on any subreddit if you have a reddit account, you can post on any lemmy community if you have an account on any lemmy server.

Think of it like old-school pre-reddit internet forums, if all of those forums were linked together, and as a whole they became a reddit-like thing.

This gives you an extra moderation step. Server/instance admins can ban an entire problematic server/instance, and you can have stricter or more lax rules depending on the server.

It’s a hybrid between old-school forums and modern reddit. lots of smaller, specialized or localized communities, which together as a whole become a reddit-like world. it’s the best of both worlds.
