Banning teenagers from porn is not a fight worth anything.

It is kids we should be worried about. 8 year olds who get in contact with hard core porn or fetish porn or violent porn. That is not good for their development.

This.

Same here. We write “verzogen” on the envelope (because the letter has been a bad boy) and either leave it out on top of the letterbox or go throw it into a post collecting box.

Portugal, but they hate expats at this point because they got overrun by them in the last couple of years

A monarchy is a government form.

Monarchies can be anything from a parliamentary monarchy to an absolute monarchy, and yes there have been fascist monarchies as well - see WW2 Japan or Romania if I recall that correctly

Mastodon simply isn’t designed for discussions. It is designed to (micro)blog. People can react to your microblog, but if you’re not a well-known personality or your content isn’t relevant for the people who see your posts, that probably won’t happen.

What helps to build a followership on Mastodon is to regularly interact with people who post about similar things to your interests and who already have a big following. Then they might be inclined to know who you are, follow you and actually interact with your content/rebl9g it for their audiences.

Literally every of these Google “add information xy” boxes has been skippable for years now

There are multiple music production communities:

!musicproduction@lemmy.ml

!musicproduction@sh.itjust.works

!musicproduction@lemmy.studio

I will argue against what others have said: don’t create another one specifically for your need. It will either end up being pretty dead or you’ll need to put a lot of energy into building it up.

So… Lemmy itself gives admins the possibility to see votes, but admins using this tool to see votes is a problem? Maybe I am misunderstanding something here?

Point number 1 for sure.

Favoriting/liking is especially a good thing to do with photo posts, as pixelfed emphasizes likes over boosts and I think a lot of photographers and artists appreciate likes more than your average poster.

I didn’t know that favourites factor into the trending algorithm. Good to know.

Which is why awesome people like @grant@toast.ooo do it instead

Sucks for you if your only interest is sailing.

No, for real: I have subscribed to over 100 communities and my “subscribed” feed is always full of stuff.

IT sector probably is a lot different in hiring practices than some typical management jobs

That probably depends more on what is before the @. Is your mailadress a gamertag or some random thing you came up with as a teen? “Superbunny69” probably has a lower chance of success than “lastn.firstname”

The sentence structure suggests that in OPs sentence the monkey is the subject and part of the sentence is missing.

Like for example,

“The monkey – I’m wondering if it can see my ears? – is eating a banana.”

If I’m seeing someone wants to raise 100k and I’m one of the first people to go on that Kickstarter, meaning only a tiny % is financed yet, I might think “this is not gonna make it, makes no sense for me to pledge money”

Huge goals can scare off people from donating/financing

Please try a dictionary. The literal only definition of that word is someone who is sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children. It has nothing to do at all with actions.

TIL Al Gore invented the internet?

Well at least not according to the legal view of the tax authorities… from what I have heard anecdotally over the years about german tax authorities, they seem to be very much not living in a 21st century digital world.
