Definitely Facebook's policy of demanding real world names and crushing down on anonymity and pseudonyms, around 2014: https://www.protocol.com/policy/anonymity-real-names-jeff-kosseff#toggle-gdpr

Yes, started using it about a year ago and it's amazing how much easier it is.

I'm a sucker at using the kbin / Lemmy search. I am still looking for these communities:

/r/atbge
/r/justfuckmyshitup
/r/catsareassholes
/r/thecatdimension
/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
/r/cologne or / r/koeln
/r/parents or /r/eltern
/r/djs or /r/beatmatch
/r/house or /r/deephouse

There are probably more... If noone knows where these communities exist on Lemmy or kbin, I will create them! Maybe you can help me deciding on which instance it would be best. I can do lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, feddit.de and kbin.

Yes, a very good article. I have the feeling I have another peace of the puzzle now.

Same here - only Reddit results.

I am using Liftoff and Jerboa with lemmy.ml - I prefer Liftoff. Lemmy.ml is pretty slow recently.
I also have a kbin account with subscriptions to the same communities, and on mobile I am using the web app: Howto install a web app.

It says

User Count Bot for all known Mastodon instances

Is that not true? Does it count Lemmy and kbin users, too?

From the article:

People who live with diet-related diseases, especially obesity, usually have a strong feeling of guilt, thinking they are the problem due to their own lack of willpower. Researchers now know this isn’t true. This food has been engineered to be addictive. We need to shift the blame away from the population.

Just a detail, but yes! Legislators, please help our society to not suffer under the downsides of capitalism.

In my experience, lemmy.ml and feddit.de (for example) are in more left wing then milquetoast progressives. It's faszinating and refreshing, and I don't mind people speaking their minds. But I prefer moderate, too.

I would rather say that the average Redditor is milquetoast progressive. Heck, I start to really enjoy this phrase 😉.

No, what I meant was a fixed interest rate over 10 years (German: Zinsbindung). The loan is over ~30 years.

After 10 years, we can decide if we change the lender or stay with them. The lender can decide on a new interest rate.
