With lots of land that could be generating solar power instead. The solution to high oil prices is accelerating electric car adoption and reducing oil dependence, not bandaging the problem for short-term gains.

Made corrections to my comment. Importantly, Pentagon leadership should not be any more involved in the organization and celebration of any religious event more than another.

As the Pentagon doesn’t host promote services for the holidays of other religions to the same extent as they do for evangelical Protestantism, this is a clear violation of the separation of church and state.

Edit: Highlighted corrections to the above statement in italics.

Tankie propaganda.

A military dictatorship isn’t particularly representative of freedom.

simplify Reddit and improve Home feed personalization

AKA collect more data for advertisers.

Disgusting ethnic cleansing.

The thread’s headline doesn’t seem to match the article?

The article uses the headline Changes needed at Canada Revenue Agency after audit of Muslim charity: report.

Not in any meaningful way; that makes it less energy-dense, leading to gas needing to be refilled more often.

Discouraging Fediverse participation isn’t a helpful solution to disagreement.

There is core limitations on Lemmy which cannot be fixed even on the long term( for example finding communities via search. Results from .world is very different from the result that your instance fetch

Lemmy Federate is designed to overcome this limitation through automated community federation.

no ability to upload media with the same ease and speed of Reddit,…etc)

This depends on the frontend or app you choose to use. Most Lemmy apps support in-app media uploads.

Herd mentality is very deep on Lemmy, compared to other social media websites

Herd mentality is just as much of a problem of Reddit; there’s just more users there, so more ‘herds’ are able to form.

Lemmy users would like to have a working cancel culture so much that they would have no problem deepthroating a dick to get it

Grouping all Lemmy users together falsely assumes they all share the same opinions and blocking preferences. In any case, instances attract users by tailored moderation practices; users should join the instance that best matches their preferences. While some viewpoints—such as those promoting fascism, transphobia, or racism—are generally unwelcome across major instances, a certain baseline is needed in civilized society to have discussions in which no one is excluded on the basis of who they are.

About moderation, I feel the only outcome that will happen is bad moderation (IMO) will keep happening on the platform till either the servers hosting communities go down or till the mod become inactive.

A very broad generalization about a wide array of moderators and rules across communities, but if you don’t like the way a community or instance is run, just block it and move on. I gladly block all of lemmy.ml and my All feed is better for it.

On a side note it feels like a lot of Lemmy servers are suffering financially and might close soon,

What gives that impression? While donating towards server costs is important, and a handful of notable instances such as lemm.ee have closed, most instances seem to be doing fine.

while Lemmy developers did not even try to help them by implementing third party upload functionality(Imgbox, catbox, imgur,…etc) in the app and the web front end to lighten the load on the server admins.

Have you tried alternative frontends and/or apps? The default Lemmy frontend is known to be simplistic in comparison and should be considered more of a reference implementation than anything.

Ultimately, the Threadiverse is still relatively small and will hopefully continue to improve as Lemmy, Piefed, and Mbin are developed further. All of the core features of Reddit are present, without the commercialization that has left it degraded.

Not unexpected given how inactive it’s been, but still unfortunate.

“No punishment. No Investigation. Carry on, patriots,” Hegseth said in a social media post.

Criminals all the way down.

More options and innovation is good, though I’m not sure there’s enough users yet to viably support a fourth mainline Threadiverse protocol. Mbin serves the same role Catodon is trying to fill and doesn’t have many users as it is.

AMP links are bad for privacy and web decentralization; here’s the non-AMP version.

I recommend using an extension to automatically redirect AMP URLs to their non-AMP counterparts.

Alternative to CBS.

It’s dumb that games get delisted over it, but maybe the Olympic brand licensing rights ran out?

What’s the 0.1% that wasn’t backed up?

Child abuse is not free speech.

Any form of age verification is a violation of user privacy.
