I feel sorry for her, as it’s not a black and white case of inappropriate behavior.

Remember Hezbollah is not hamas. Lebanon is a different country.

Yes, but look at bud light. Boycotts can be hugely damaging. If people start boycotting Intel, Dell HP and other suppliers will happily offer amd instead. Similarly, companies with policies of not buying from suppliers with slave labour or supporting genocide may decide Intel falls in that category now. They do it as a PR exercise but ultimately it’s consumer sentiment that drives it.

Intel will need to decide if the sweetener is worth the risk. From war interrupting supply. From boycotts. From brand damage.

Or they are worried that Intel will pull out due to risk of consumer boycott and want to push the deal through.

Yes, if you know about that community. However, by browsing the all feeds of multiple instances, you come across communities you weren’t aware of and can subscribe to on any of the instances you have an account on. Assuming, of course, they all federate.

Well, it does see value of revenue generated by sharing. Lemmy is not for profit and has no advertising.

It’s not that it matters. It’s that if an acronym is new, it makes sense to clarify its meaning until it’s clear to all.

Well, they seem to keep on winning despite terrible policy, corruption and messing up the economic future of the country. All the parties are basket cases.

It will be tracked back to Trumpism. Ron will be forgotten in a few years.

I don’t use mastodon. Do users need to reciprocate? So if I followed you and you moved server would I still get a notification, or only if you follow me?

Can anyone follow you, so does the notification let you know that it’s a change, rather than a new follower.

That’s a harder ask if people have already tried it and found it lacking.

Perhaps a notification when it occurs, so you could unsubscribe if you wish.

Especially given the armies of people who cross post any decent content to all networks. I hope that here, due to no monetary benefit and no karma, it is only for the love of sharing. All the good content will make it here, but rather than being a firehouse of crap, the community nature should make the relevant communities more focused.

I still use Facebook for local groups. I think even they realise that niche communities without outrage are where the growth will lie. That’s likely why they are scared of federated networks. It could easily kill them over time.

It’s speculation, but still relevant to technology. You’ll find speculation in most news sources about technologym, otherwise it’s just press releases. How large platforms develop is technology news.

In Musk’s case, he’s divisive so people are more likely to share or comment on posts about him. There’s also a large element of schadenfreude.

If you don’t think it should be here, downvote away. However, your low effort comment becomes more virtual trash than the post it intends to berate. Instead, you could post better content too.
