I really like to see communities like lemmy.film, mtgzone.com, and programming.dev and wish there was an instance about literature.

I know about https://programming.dev and https://mtgzone.com I wish there were one about gaming and another about fanfiction

Edward Snowden, a former National Security Agency contractor and government whistleblower, has been credited with the quote “Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say”. Snowden has argued that privacy is a fundamental right and that without it, individuals cannot have anything for themselves. The “nothing to hide” argument has been used to defend the collection and use of government data beyond surveillance and disclosure, but critics argue that it is inherently paradoxical and that what is hidden is not necessarily relevant. Snowden has also stated that the burden of justification falls on those seeking to infringe upon human rights, and that nobody needs to justify why they “need” a right.

I don’t know there is a lemmy-stats-crawler utility that does it automatically and produces a json file. So all I do is parse that json file to get the numbers.

Depending on which instances are blocked you will see different content in ones or others. Which is why I choose instance based on the minimum number of blocked users based on the results of this script.

Maybe get your country to have a higher democracy index than china before criticizing them?

The one I like most is YouTube, where it shows everything from the last few days and then only the most popular content from the last few weeks, months, and even years. I would like something similar, where the further I browse, the more votes a post must have to show up in the feed.

Humans are more influenced by emotions than logic, which means that critical thinking alone may not convince them. Only those who are receptive to logical reasoning can be persuaded.

A video about it

Imagus is a browser extension for Firefox that allows users to enlarge images and display images/videos from links with a simple mouse-over. It is similar to the Hover Zoom extension, which is a popular tool for browsing memes and gifs on desktop. However, Hover Zoom has been flagged as spyware, so users may want to consider using Imagus instead. Imagus works with a wider range of links than Hover Zoom, including those from imgur. The extension also has customizable settings, including an expandable set of rules for getting larger images, media, or other content.

This is so cool. It’s exactly what I had in mind when thinking of a modern bash alternative.

Github style:

> If you need to find a post, don't use search engines or indexers, use lemmy's own search page, which allows you to filter by community if you wish. Its been a concious decision from the beginning to not favor SEO over simple urls.
> 
> *Originally posted by @dessalines in [#839 (comment)](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/839#issuecomment-1304368786)*

Result:

I don’t care about the Bible, it’s just an expression. I think.

Which is why we should make the implementer’s job easier by providing only the relevant information instead of wasting their time with a flood of comments on the issue tracker.

I think Israel has too much of an upper hand there to ever leave. It’s only a matter of time before they make smaller and cheaper drones that they can release as a swarm.
