Especially if Mexico agrees it would be okay.

That is generally complicated territory when you attack terrorist/revolutionary groups not affiliated with the state, especially when the latter lost control over the territory those groups are residing in.

But Mexico could do the same with US gangs basically if the US does that one-sidedly. And Mexicans might not like such interventions from the US. After all there is a bad history of legal and illegal US immigrants stealing Mexican territory. Coincidentally that’s also the US state that complains most about Mexican immigrants

At least the original post ended with:

Please don't bother her or flirt with her while she works

Somebody removed their watermark with AI

Why is that tankie?

That post criticizes "any western leader" talking about human rights and shows photos of bombing gaza below it, if I interpret it correctly. It certainly is whataboutism, but I don’t see how it is directly used to justify anything else, even though that might be thought behind it and be more clear after reading more posts of that person. Though I’d rather use the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, since that’s a more direct human rights violation than supplying Israel with money, weapons and defense support.

hm, maybe lemmy needs the feature to disable response notifications for specific posts or threads. Though that’s the less problematic scenario. The biggest issue in federated networks is when somebody is determined to stalk and pester you, though I haven’t heard of that happening here so far. But you could comment under each and every post of another user, since you can see all posts. And there is no way to stop that if they are persistent as they can just create a new account on a new instance anytime they get blocked or banned.

4. […] certain communities that were supportive of Lemmy suddenly got locked behind a NSFW curtain […]

You got that wrong. That was a measure taken by these communities to demonetize reddit. Reddit doesn’t put ads on NSFW subs. Any profile that posts on an NSFW sub also gets their profile switched to NSFW afaik. Moderators got banned for these NSFW tags.

r/PixelDungeon is the only sub that I’m aware of that completely moved to lemmy. Withe the main mod and developer of the most popular fork moving to lemmy. The sub is still open, but it has a "bookmark" called "Lemmy" and a "link" called "Lemmy Community" that directly links to the lemmy community. The sub is still open and automod responded to any new post that the sub moved to lemmy … at least for a year or so, it doesn’t post that any more.

And there are some obvious down sides. To my knowledge lemmy has not implemented flairs or post tags, which get used excessively by some communities to categories and sort their content. !pixeldungeon@lemmy.world fell back to putting text tags into titles like "[DEV]" and "[OC]" and then use the search for this. But that is merely a work around. The sidebar links to these searches, but since instance-relative links are not a thing they are fixed links to lemmy.world.

The search itself is still inconvenient, because you can just "search this community". You always have to explicitly select a community to search it and have to enter the search term before selecting the community. Edit: that’s of course only true for the front-end (lemmy-ui) I use, dunno if all have that issue

I doubt regular end users will ever get warm with distributed federative networks. A lot of people already seem struggle with email. All tend to flock to a few big instances. For lemmy you also need some basic awareness of these systems. You can’t find everything and to expect that will always go wrong since you only search what your instance knows and never for everything. There are great projects like lemmyverse, but you need to know about them. People who don’t know about them will either just not find the communities they are looking for or they’ll start duplicate communities. The problem of not finding something is smaller on big instances but also more fatal, because their duplicate communities will displace the ones that were started on smaller instances but did not federate well yet.

And everything, the development and hosting, is solely carried on the shoulders of a few volunteers. That will always result in instances popping up and disappearing over time, with development speed varying depending on interest and free time the developers have.

The biggest selling point is not to replace reddit but to be connected with the rest of the activitypub fediverse. That you can see peertube channels as communities here. That mastodon users can comment on lemmy posts eggcetera

I’m pretty sure Evan started this community.

No issue at all. Left-facing swastika is absolutely unproblematic. The Hakenkreuz is always right-facing and a stylized SS.

It’s my favorite wand as staff. Aside from Primatic Lights and Living Earth all other wands are worth for staff due to side effects. But in contrast to these other two wands it has Magic Charge which can make other wands a lot stronger. Shooting a +15 lightning, disintegration, frost, fireblast, corrosion, regrowth, warding or transfusion is great when you need it, but useless when it’s your main ranged attack due to them waking other enemies, hitting yourself, doing less or no damage at the second shot, doing no damage at all or destroying items.

It’s been the first time I played with these challenges, so I tried to conserve satiation a bit.

I threw the food, but you have to throw two things. One for the door and one for the traps.
