I'm kind of curious about how you think the internet works.

The scuttlebutt is that it's a inside joke by the far-left dev of lemmy to stand for marxist-leninist, but it's just as likely, if not more, that it was chosen because it's free.

Keep in mind that most (all?) two-letter TLDs are associated with a country. This includes stuff like .io, .tv, and .me

He's probably laughing his ass off at this form of "protest". It's functionally equivalent to when people get mad at a company so they buy their product and destroy it on social media.

Think about what Spez wants, and do the opposite.

What would you consider an example of "right wing" speech? In 2023 that usually means bigotry or misinformation, and I can't help but agree that I don't see any point in allowing that, but I'm willing to be convinced that there's more than that.

I feel like Spez doesn't give two tiny rat shits about anything but the fact that this counts as more engagement, which he can leverage to call Reddit more valuable.

It should be one giant fediverse ad.

I'm pretty far away from an expert, but I'm pretty sure your example isn't a "real" sentence. It implies the subject and the verb. (I, like).

A sentence needs a subject and a verb, if I remember grade school. Fun fact: "I'm." is a sentence. There can be an implied "You" in there. Like "[You] Stop!" or "[You] Go!"

I think many of us are using reverse proxies, and opening port 443 (https) and maybe port 80 (http).

It's not, but Bob bobs is.

I have spent thousands of dollars over the years on my Plex setup. I'd caution against the assumption that switching to Plex and hosting your media is going to be cheaper in the short run, or maybe even the long run, than paying for streaming services. Depending on your use case you may even need to pay for Plexpass. (Hardware encoding, iirc, is locked behind their Plexpass subscription.) And factor in the inevitable troubleshooting you'll have to do when something doesn't work for your brother's family.

Do the math for yourself, is all I'm saying. It's not automatically the better solution.

I am in a similar boat (with Boox) but I set up my old Kindle Paperwhite for my kid just a few weeks ago and that's when I learned that they finally gave up on mobi.

Probably people who seek out political groups on the Internet and don't lean far right.
