I appreciate where you're coming from. But careful you don't replace Trumpist fascism with some other kind of authoritarianism. You want people who tell lies to face house imprisonment? Who decides what statements are lies? It's an easy power to abuse.

that's the context menu I get on old.lemmy.

It turns out that on some websites, I do get the option to "save image as". But others I don't. the option is there on imgur and some lemmy instances, but not other lemmy instances or Reddit. Very puzzling. Firefox should know that what I'm right clicking on is an image, because it gives me the option to open it in another tab. Why can't I just save it directly without doing that?

The farmers' association, Coldiretti, said Sicily was facing an "unprecedented catastrophe and incalculable environmental damage".

The minister for civil protection, Nello Musumeci, wrote on Facebook: "This is one of the hardest days in Italy's history for 10 years. Climate change has hit our nation and demands that we all change our ways. There are no excuses."

I have a dear friend who was trying to sell some of us on some of Jordan Peterson's ideas. Like advocating for a return to more traditional gender roles. He's such a nice, sweet guy. It bends my brain to understand why he is espousing some of the stuff that he does.

This is the best comment I've read in my short (but not miniscule) time on Lemmy. Thank you for inspiring me.

I'm currently logged in to my feddit.UK account via https://mlmym.org/feddit.uk.

It's a little weird entering my password into this other website, but I decided that a person who codes old.lemmy is probably trustworthy...(?) Anyway, that's one option for you.

Obviously it would be better if it were implemented locally at feddit.uk.

We need discourse. News sites are largely owned by rich men and corporations.

Interesting stance. I hope they are right. Maybe it is a win for open protocols. I just feel like federating with Facebook is like getting into bed with your drunk uncle who has a history of molesting people.

It was a weird sensation to feel my bum rumble in resonance with hers. A bit unpleasant, a bit funny, and I just wanted to share.

This includes all of the @beehaw.org communities I tried to subscribe to. It also includes all BUT ONE of the @lemmy.world communities I tried to subscribe to. (https://feddit.uk/c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world did let me subscribe.)

What's the holdup? Do community owners get to decide whether I can subscribe? Is it something to do with the domains? Is it a local issue? I don't understand what's happening.

And it also seems that mastodon can also be "syndicated" to these other communities, and vice versa? Is that true?

Are there limitations to any of this?

Apologies if this is not the perfect place to ask this question. I'm a lost old man. :-)
