2·4 days agoRather than removing entirely, it would be great if we had a community where we could just upload our top comments to, and then redirect users from Reddit to your comment on a Lemmy instance.
On Reddit users would see something like:
This has been deleted in protest of Reddit’s privacy policy. If you really want to know what was written here, please see my comment on this alternative service here: https://piefed.social/post/740543#comment_6045217
Using pie fed here because it’s (probably?) less likely to be caught by some Reddit automod filter, I think other redditors might be attracted to it more, I’ve heard they abstract votes* to a different account from your actual account (slightly more privacy that way), and it’s good to spread out user bases among the fediverse instances.
You could do something similar with your top posts. Just repost it to the appropriate community and then edit the post on Reddit to redirect there through pie fed.
*Edit: Pie fed only votes with anonymous accounts for you when sharing votes with an untrusted instance. So not quite as privacy oriented as I had originally thought.
9·5 days agoHe does give money to politicians and the Gates Foundation does as well:
While the goal post keeps moving, it’s the opposite of your statement. As explained in the article:
That target would represent a doubling in spending for the nonprofit, which has disbursed more than $US100 billion since it was co-founded by Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates in 2000. Originally, the foundation was set to close 20 years after the Microsoft co-founder’s death.
“I have decided to give my money back to society much faster than I had originally planned,” Gates, 69, wrote in a statement. “I will give away virtually all my wealth through the Gates Foundation over the next 20 years to the cause of saving and improving lives around the world.”
How much would his estate taxes be vs giving up 99% of his fortune?
Same, I read enough about Trump in other communities. I’d like this community to focus on more uplifting stories.

On Tuesday morning, The Liberty Hotel said it has finished an investigation into the incident and “the security officer is being suspended from their position.” It said all staff are being retrained “on inclusive practices and guest interaction protocols.” The hotel is also making a donation to a local LGBTQ+ organization.
Could you imagine if they had just walked all the way to Mordor?
Found some of the footage from the rescue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIQz5RBKUsA
Yeah, that makes sense. I agree, I wish this was such a common thing that it wasn’t even newsworthy.
But for now I’m glad that some news organizations have started categories that focus on positive news stories like this. This one in particular is part of the Guardian’s “Kindness of Strangers” series. It looks like they started this series about 6 months ago.
I think these teens went above and beyond more than just “being kind to strangers”.
For the next few months, those teenagers were such a great help to me. Anytime I crutch-walked past them they would ask how I was and if I needed a hand with anything. They took my bins out for me and if they saw me at the corner store, they would let me cut in line ahead of them, so I didn’t have to stand around waiting as long.
I think my favorite quote from Richard Munoz was:
A lot of people were kind to me during that injury experience – and a few weren’t kind at all! – but by far the most helpful were those teens.
Stories like this absolutely have a place in the news (and especially in this community) as hopefully it inspires others to go above and beyond in being kind to strangers.
Some judges are allowing people to request to attend Zoom hearings because of these interruptions.
We want people to attend their hearings, but getting arrested for showing up is sending the wrong message. Especially so for for those who have a good case.
Well, they were able to lift it back up.
This is why you don’t take on odd jobs from people contacting you remotely.
If your only job is to forward packages/letters/money sent to your home address (or to pick up packages from nearby addresses) and you get a cut of the money, you’re probably a mule for money laundering.
If your only job is helping others from another country (they will like about where they’re actually from) get through interview/hiring processes, you’re probably working with countries like this.
If they want to use your name for a job application, you don’t have to do any work, and they will send you most of the paycheck, you’re probably working with countries like this.
It’s “constitutional” because they’re accusing the “money” of being used illegally. There’s no actual person being accused here, but if you want to get your money back you’ll need to prove it’s innocence in court.
It’s ridiculous. At least the Institute for Justice has been winning court cases against this, but there’s still a long way to go: https://ij.org/issues/private-property/civil-forfeiture/
Edit: typo
It’s not something unique to capitalism. In communism you can easily have tons of monopolies as well.
Regulation is definitely a good thing. Competition among companies is a good thing.
The maximum age for the President, or someone in the Senate/Congress should be based on a percentage of the average livespan of everyone in the country.
It’s adaptive and also incentivizes them to make choices which will benefit everyone’s health, rather than the health of the elite.
Well, sounds like you’re admitting that their removal reason was entirely accurate.
This reminded me of that video when the covid lockdown caused the air to be so much cleaner that a mountain range could be seen from ~200km away:
Or you bought his car before you saw him for what he is. Tesla’s have been around for almost 2 decades now.
