Just your standard issue neurodivergent POC

Wouldn't the terms of service be considered the consent?

This is all I've been trying to get across, y'all won't be able to enjoy your sync if the admins can't pay for the servers. Seek out your home instance's donation links and come up out them pockets like y'all did for Lawrence. This applies to everyone else too, but since I can clearly see sync users commenting that they paid to remove ads or for lifetime access to upcoming features(like posting), I know they have the money 😂

As far as .World goes, their lowest Patreon sub is $1 a month.

I've had that happen to me once, fuckin around and floating in the pool with no sunblock on because "I don't need it, I'm black". Mf, let me tell you, I freaked the FUCK out when my skin started to peel.

Or, you could just donate to the admins of the instance. They make it pretty easy in general. This is almost as bad as the "I wanna add ads to Lemmy to help admins cover costs" person. Just donate, and remind others to donate if they can.

Edit: I thought about it further. adding rewards would morph the comment section to a popularity contest a la Snoozerville. On top of that, any instance adding rewards would likely be targeted for defederation by others. I didn't come here for capitalism, thats basically the root cause of the migration in the first place. And again, all of this is easily solved by donating to the instance admins.

Right now? roommates. I guess I'll just be my dad and stepmother's caretakers and move in with them in a few decades? I mean, I'd prefer a revolution or two, but I just feel there's no way that's happening.

Edit: id settle for some crazy ass innovation that rocks the globe, like a new power source or alien overlords or a combination of the two.

I hate it when the subtitles use hard r when the actors are clearly using the soft a. That being said, I die laughing every time this scene comes up.

I swear I'm trying to not be a dick but it's like they saw their favorite word and ignored everything else. It's giving twitter stan.

Or, we could donate and not have to see ads. I'm sick of ads. Are you running or planning on running an instance with ads? I'd love to follow along and see how your journey would go.

The price. The price is going to be wrong as fuck.

..........y'all can't seem to break your reddit habits for shit 😂😂😂😂

We are talking about donating to your instance admins and the Lemmy devs. Read the entire post. Your instance admin is how you are able to have an account to post about sync prices in the first place.

Nobody made a fuss, because there's a larger amount of folks not using safari than folks that are, so safari wouldn't be able to pull off "block your browser if you're using an ad blocker" the way chrome could, if/when they want. Because safari would only be screwing over apple users.

Ok well you obviously get a pass homie.

Friendica: fediverse facebook

Calckey and Firefish: Mastodon but with extra bells and whistles like the ability to use emotes in place of likes.

Another comment here said something to the effect of "black people a get +10 spf perk", we can just go with that? I was like 12 when it happened so I didn't really take a mental note of how long it took, I was more concerned with figuring out how to be as still as possible.

Edit: and that comment said the spf +10 only applies for the darkest skin tones. I'm like milk chocolate bordering on caramel, let's just say imma burn up under the circumstances you provided.

The only reason I keep coming back to this thread is to point the sync users towards donating, but they just keep talking about sync prices as if that's keeping their home instance up and running. There appears to be a real lack in reading comprehension or perhaps it's just ignorance to how lemmy works / how to support the platform. Either way, I'm here to help.

Too late, I'm putting that in my back pocket to disseminate at the monthly gathering.

Black people don't "usually have very dark skin" we basically have a whole damn rainbow of skin tones. I couldn't let the overgeneralization rock.

I bounce between all the ad free apps, but please don't forget to donate to your instance admins if they have a link set up. Especially if you paid to remove ads. Y'all got them deep pockets, show some love.

They think its about the app itself and not about a reminder that if lemmy instances aren't funded, Sync will be desolate. Which will mean that the $5.00-$1xx they may or may not spend on Sync would be for an effectively dead app.

The above links are where you would donate to your home instance. The Patreon's lowest monthly donation is $1, donation priority should probably be your home instance first, then lemmy devs, but it's up to you.

Wikipedia.

Y'all are talking about sync, we are talking about donating to your instance admins.

Edit: and the Lemmy devs, if you can.

This shit wouldn't be fun if we didn't fight and shit talk each other from time to time. And I mean in general, not on the subject of the week. I'm the kind of person who will compliment a insult directed at me if it's creative or pause an argument for some "real talk". We are on earth for a short time, please don't take any of this shit seriously.

Thank you for the Invidious tip, I did not know about it and it's awesome!

You should want to at least chuck a dollar to your home instance. Sync won't have damn content on it if there's no Lemmy instances to pull from.

Yes, and if you want Lemmy to thrive, donate to your home instance admins and the Lemmy devs (read: not the same as an app developer) if possible.

Edit: @dogebread has a point, "No" is abrasive. Adjusting.

Thanks in advance on behalf of your ohioian admin!

It's discussed on a regular basis, most admins are very transparent about their expenses. You would just need to go look at your home instance's community page and do a little light reading.

Me too. I feel much calmer scrolling through Lemmy as opposed to Reddit or Twitter. I have way less of an urge to troll over here.

I don't think I agree with it being a competition.

Since I got started with my CompTIA Security+ studies, I thought it'd be fun to look around for hacking simulators to try and reinforce some of the concepts I'm learning. So I've been playing HackNet & HackMUD. I've also been playing the open beta for Hawked (Fortnite looking extraction shooter).

.....you are correct, and watch your mouth. 😂😂

Not a fan, fuckin dislike it immensely tbh.

Toughen up, elitist jackasses are everywhere, they were even on reddit before we left. It'll pass.

What about the sopuli.xyz admins? Do they have a donation link?

I'm glad that it doesn't.

It'll be okay, we'll make more lemmemories 😁

The logic is the mf is petty 😂😂😂

Netflix and HBO are really bad about it, with Netflix it's usually the non originals. But anything made by a black person on Netflix gets the soft a right most of the time
