You have to be ok with believing that you’re not annoying others when talking about yourself and asking about them. And you have to do it in a not-creepy way. I haven’t quite figured it out yet.

There’s no possible way this could ever go wrong.

WTF is Lolisho?

It’s always Idaho because of the Northwest Territorial Imperative.

Ken should have been the permanent host from the beginning.

Joke’s on you… it never had a soul!

Conservatives are wrecking the entire planet.

I’m sure there’s a place where she could still work… like maybe the 404 page or the maintenance page?

Same. I’ve already added Threads.net to my “Blocked Domains” list on Mastodon. Hoping to be able to do that with Lemmy as well.

Yup, love all of these!

I would classify The Dollop along the lines of Behind the Bastards as well. Although it’s more comedy, it definitely gets political.

So, the thing about the federated system, is that the server loads are distributed among the different instances that are run by individuals. This way, no one instance gets too big to afford to sustain itself.

But yeah, basically donations are what any instance will likely be run off of. I’m sure there will be people trying to profit off of it somehow, by charging people for accounts, maybe, at some point. Or running ads, etc. But as it is right now, I believe the idea is to have this system be free and sustained through donations.

*edit: The best way to get an answer to a question is to confidently post an incorrect answer and let someone correct you. :)

And also this:

Hello new here, I’m dad!

Ahh, so they’re the new 9gag?

Yeah, I’m perfectly fine with this decision. And if I want to see content from and interact on those instances, I can (and have already) create accounts on those instances. No harm no foul.
