I feel like if this article was written with no mention of Arabs, Muslins or Palestinians employees, but just mentioned employees in general fearing being retaliated, Sugarfree’s comment would still stand nonetheless. And I kind of agree that if they fear expressing their opinions it’s because their opinions are too extreme and they know it. I mean, the “from the river to the sea” kind of opinion.
What’s being proposed is that the extension would modify the page to add a Lemmy frame for commenting. This frame is autonomous in the sense the user must provide his Lemmy login information for it to work, which is different from Google login information. Google is not even aware the page is being modified by an external comment section, and even if it could detect it, it wouldn’t be able to track individual users.
I read a variation of this news in the past where there was some major controversy about Google accounts that have active YouTube channels with videos uploaded to it. The solution is that Google would not delete inactive accounts if they have uploaded YouTube videos on it. I just don’t know of this policy still stands or if they changed their minds.
They should put the gift card through a scanner and send the image. If it’s that easy, charging for it is asshole-ish for sure.
This is extremely true for modern social media sites. Normal news sites used to push their apps too, but I guess this fad has passed.
Some banking apps are asking for live-selfies for authentication, so it’s not entirely useless.
So the writing’s on the wall: Imgur will sooner or later intensify its enshitification, so it’s not safe relying on it for image/gif uploads for Lemmy…
If I may ask, what’s the difference between those two you mentioned and “Active”?
Perhaps these communities you follow from remote instances are not very active, so your subscriptions from lemmy.world (which tend to be larger and more active communities) are obscuring them.
I suggest you change the sorting order to “New”. I found that the default “Active” sorting always shows the same trending topics for days. Reddit also had this lazy refresh cadence with its “Hot” sorting, but to a lesser extent.
If they’re not clear about this, I’d assume the language their sidebar is written on is the official language of the instance.
I’m more motivated to participate when there’s fewer comments. On Reddit I often refrained from commenting when I noticed the other commenters already covered the point I wanted to make.
That’s an awful decision by Twilo. I deliberately only install Authy on my Desktop computers because they’re always at home and cannot be easily stolen/lost like my phone.
