Yeah I think r/bestof was probably one of the weaker “best of” subreddits tbh.

Fair enough. Then I agree wholeheartedly!
It’s a fine line though - the “Best Of” subreddits are meta and some of the best on the site (eg BoLA and BoRU)
I mean the article isn’t about, nor does it mention fat acceptance. I didn’t mention fat acceptance. Only OP did. I don’t think anyone apart from him and perhaps you thinks anyone is celebrating people being overweight. Maybe some people do that but I’m pretty sure most people think of them as (and I’ve already called them) “crazies”. This article certainly isn’t doing that - as far as I can tell it’s more about the bmi scale being a bit useless.
The only point I’m making is it seems like OP just wants to hate on fat people (and if that isn’t dehumanising idk what is), my point is just that doesn’t solve anything, and you seem to agree with that much. Nobody’s talking about “fat acceptance” except you two.
Yeah seems that way.
Turns out if you make a high quality product with care and passion based on what your users want, then they’ll love it and be happy to pay for it. Who knew?!
Yeah that really could end up being problematic!
Actually not sure how that’s going to go.. presumably it’ll work the same way search engines do cos it’s kinda like holding a copy of public data like they do…
Aside from a handful of crazies, most people fully understand the health implications of being overweight, even (perhaps especially) overweight people. The reason some people are fat is definitely not because they’re not aware of that, and being a dick to fat people isn’t going to make them less fat.
So you wanting to see people treated as less than human for something that is very unlikely to affect you in any way at all says much more about you than it does them.
It sorta depends on the relationship between federated servers. If your server acts as a data controller and the servers it federated with act as a data processor, then yes indeed your admin would have to contact all those servers to get that data removed.
But I don’t think that’s what the relationship really is. I think your server publishes that data effectively publicly. At that point other servers can take a copy if they want (ie each would be a controller). So you’d have to make a request to each server to get the data removed.
Think about it like this, if you allow some print publication to print your name for some reason, some other companies might keep a copy of that data. Eg an archival company, or perhaps something less nice like a sales leads company. The publication doesn’t have a responsibility to contact them all. Even if, say, they have some relationship, like federation, or for example archival company has a subscription to the newspaper.
So if you want that data deleting you’re going to have to contact every sever that has it.
I didn’t know you could move Mastodon servers and retain your followers. Very cool.
I think they’ll do quite well, it’s a perfect landing spot for Twitter refugees not willing/techie enough to take the leap to Mastodon. Y’know, the normals. Particularly if it’s well-integrated with Instagram.
Is that a good thing? Ie do I want to see Twitter fail more than I want Meta to not be successful…? That’s a fucking tricky one!
Depends if it’s Spez or not. If not then… tentative welcome I guess.
If it is Spez then, well, pitchforks it is.
Yeah it’s definitely got worse.
But leave it on medium heat. Eventually the water will boil off, the fat will render and it’ll start to fry, then you’ll be able to brown it. Can take a while.
The sound will change a bit to a crackling/frying sound when it’s got to that point.
