It’s complicated and the implications and scope are not entirely clear.

The court stated that creative works such as web design qualify as a form of speech, and that the first amendment does not allow the government to use law to force creators to speak any message — especially one with which they disagree. Essentially, any business with something that might be considered speech as its product or service may be free to discriminate against protected classes. We aren’t sure how far this will extend in practice, but I expect many will test it.

In this case of this post, it depends on what is being sold.

Edit: wrote this before my coffee and thus neglected to point out what replies said: political affiliation is not a protected class in America and these signs are a bit misleading. See replies.

I found a real estate listing for the house (yes, you could own this beauty), but I don’t know if posting it would count as doxxing per community rules, so I won’t. In any case, this is not a business.

They want £300k+. Based on what was written, the whole idea was minimal maintenance and maximum room for parking. The back yard/back “garden” is the same as the front: just a bunch of tile. The interior is less offensive, but just what you’d expect: very modern, lots of black and white and bold shapes.

With the right circumstances, you can sometimes see the actor’s pulse on their neck. Sometimes they’ll hold their breath or breathe slowly, but there’s not much you can do about the heart.

I really don’t disagree with you, but if we want democrats to show up and vote, this is not the attitude that will make it happen. People largely believe their votes don’t matter. If the candidate is bad anyway, why even bother? I’m not saying this negativity is the only (or biggest) problem, but it is very discouraging.

Let’s get better candidates where we can, but we need to go full speed with the best we have. If democrat voter turnout was better, there would be no contest, and maybe we could start having a real dialogue about improvements instead of just fighting to avoid more far right extremism.

Kbin is barely a prototype, so I wouldn’t say it has a real approach to the UI. It’s about to go through a lot of change as contributors begin working on a more thoughtfully designed UI. Many basics are not even implemented in its current state, so expect it to change a lot. Also third-party apps will start showing up once an API is added.

That is, check on it again in a few weeks.

Yes, that’s what it means. If you look under the names, you’ll see “public” or “private.” The way they are going offline is to make the subreddits private. The green ones are labeled private.

I don’t think the problem is limited to “morons.” I understand this system and have operated federated services in the past, but it is a lot more work just to navigate this when compared to something like Reddit. I don’t have a ton of free time, and I’d rather spend that time engaging with the community vs wrestling with the service or trying to find which instance has the most activity. I know this will get better as it grows, but a lot of people will just get fed up and go somewhere they can just socialize.

There are many instances (“servers”) of the service running, and each one can have its own, local equivalent of a subreddit. We can see and interact with all of them. I just went through 15 pages of “magazines” and subscribed to communities with the same name on 2+ instances at least a dozen times.

Suppose I am interested in photography, so I subscribe to the photography community on instance “foo.” Another user has the same interest, but they find the community on instance “bar” and subscribe to that. If I post on photography@foo, they won’t see it. The community is effectively split — often into more than two parts.

This makes it really difficult to build an engaging community at a scale similar to Reddit’s. Ideally, users will eventually congregate around just a few, but this is going to make early growth quite painful. And it isn’t intuitive to newcomers.
