It was a good answer anyway

People love to repeat this but it's not as comforting as you think it is.

Don't forget waking up hungover, checking the time, and seeing you still have 3 hours to go in a loud metal tube.

They cite grsec, that guy is a notorious troll. I've seen customers apply their patches thoughtlessly, on bad advice, and bring down production systems. Linux security isn't perfect (if it was I would be unemployed) but a lot of those problems are solved on properly configured modern systems.

This is really it. I've been working remote since well before 2020. If my office were 12 minutes away by bike I'd be there every day. Having an entirely separate space dedicated for work is great, actually! Especially if your team is all there too.

But when I first went remote it was 90 minutes by car, and half my team were in other countries. Going remote gave me 15 hours per week of my life back. There's nothing you can do to convince me to give that up again.

Yep. I want to federate and block who I want to federate and block. Large instance admins need to make compromises for practical reasons, but I don't. My personal instance has no boards, so I don't have to deal with problematic users from other instances either. If an instance is particularly awful, I can just not visit them until I have time to switch to my admin account and defederate it, there's no urgency.

Plus, I thought it would be easier to get my friends to switch if they had an admin they could literally call if they ran into problems.

One character is explicitly underage and sexually assaulted in game. Another is the "she died young and is a ghost so she just LOOKS young but she's actually way older" trope.

If an artist's vision is sexualized children, maybe that artist needs an eye exam.

Because we have surrendered so much control of our lives to these companies we can hardly envision an alternative.

There's been a few posts on it, including one where the OP intentionally voted the post up with an army of bots to demonstrate the problem.

If you run an instance with closed registration you'll probably receive a bunch of incredibly similar, clearly AI generated, applications from bot accounts. They seem to prefer existing instances over spinning up bot instances, to avoid defederation.

they haven't solved it yet

Google hasn't solved it yet either. You've probably all experienced the deluge of AI generated garbage with almost zero pertinent information clogging up search queries. And those aren't even politically motivated. It's getting harder and harder to even find actual information from actual humans.
