If you use my snippet, I want your game. If you don’t agree, then you can’t use my snippet. The purpose of the GPL is simply to prevent people who don’t share from benefitting from people who do, which I think is pretty fair.

Yes, that’s it.

That view being wrong, yes.

Could have been it before that comment, but you insisted. We have had a fruitful exchange, I learned something, don’t spoil it with meaningless pride. Hope you make lots of new friends here!

I’m a Marxist-Leninist, member of an organized group.

I believe countries try to shape and weaponize citizens’ opinions about other countries, so I refuse to defend or criticize them unless I can argue that doing so is beneficial to my ideas (i.e., not based on feelings or ethics). Thus, I’m neutral towards most countries and defend multipolarity.

I tend to doubt my ideas as much as I can.

So you think it’s morally wrong to be wrong? That’s an interesting perspective. It’s usually taken for granted that people are free to believe anything (religion, etc.). How would you tackle that if you had a choice?

It’s perfectly nice to say things I believe to be true and learn that they aren’t, why wouldn’t it be.

Tht wasn’t quite nice on your part, but still thank you.

Thanks, I wasn’t aware of those actions by the army. Guess that gives me a different view of the incident…

Nah it’s great to have all of you here <3 I literally screenshot the (presemably) last time a post of mine actually went to the top haha. As long as users from the soon-to-blackout r/PCM don’t start flame wars with lemmygrad, all will be okay.

I use the-federation.info

Only text is mirrored, images and video are hosted on the instance where they were posted, so overall it’s really cheap to store all of that, and even more so if the load is distributed across many instances.

No, there’s no central server. To my knowledge, servers federate either manually or by their users manually exploring other servers. But most servers at the moment are already federated with each other.

It’s Reddit but federated. A federated service is one that works like e-mail, i.e. there are multiple providers/servers/instances but all of them are connected so it doesn’t matter which one you choose. Additionally, Lemmy is federated to other services (e.g. Mastodon), forming what’s known as the Fediverse.

1. No, you only need one account on one server and you’ll be able to see posts and comments everywhere else.
2. Yes, although a few specific servers are blocked by other specific servers, and very small servers may not show many communities elsewhere until their users actually subscribe. But yes, beehaw.org and others work just fine.
3. You can see a list of all communities here. Also Lemmy federates with Mastodon, not just Lemmy instances among themselves, in case you’re also using that.

No, I don’t recall any increase in activity then, it must be a glitch.

Tip: choose ‘All’ at the front page to see posts from all communities, rather than just those you are subscribed to.

Lemmy and the Fediverse. Select ‘Active last month’ for best estimation of actual activity. E.g., this is the current burst in Lemmy due to the Reddit exodus:

It’s multiplied by 4 or 5 and still increasing.
