Thank you.

What is “maker space”? What is the CPP besides a C++ file? A Chinese agency?

I never heard of Naomi Wu before.

All of the sudden, articles like this one are all over the place showing a woman with red hair in provocative outfits claiming to be a tech activist being silenced.

Would anyone care to give me a two line summary of who she is and what her deal is?

The reception I am getting here is the nicest I’ve gotten since I left Reddit to try other platforms. It is quickly changing my impression of Lemmy.

Thank you!

Indeed!

I am using it now. Thanks for the tip!

Better than awesome! I’ve got so many nice responses. My impression of Lemmy is changing quickly! Thank you.

Wow! Alexandrite.App is MUCH nicer! Thanks for the tip!

Thank you!

You’re not wrong about the tankie thing, I’d say it’s the major conflict in the “threadiverse” right now.

That is GOOD to hear. I came across a post on Reddit about the founder a few months ago. I posted about it on my Mastodon account and got some crap from some guy about it, but that was about it aside from apathetic responses. I got the impression nobody cared.

Thanks for the very helpful information.

This is the nicest reception I’ve gotten on any platform since Reddit diaspora.

Can I use either of those with my BeeHaw account?

I joined BeeHaw because I don’t like downvoting and content ranking.

Thanks for the URLs.

I’m using a desktop web browser.

How would I block those instances?

Thanks, but I am a desktop web browser user.

I joined Squabbles in June and liked it until the “free speech site” announcement.

I loved the lack of content ranking and downvoting so someone suggested Beehaw.

It seemed to me that the developer/admin jayclees was your basic tunnel visioned coder ignorant of news/current events. I got the feeling that he isn’t politically invested. He just wanted to be left alone to code, so he changed his rules taking away the justification for messaging him. Posting on the site really slowed down. It looks like he lost many of his active users and kept his lurkers. I guess he figures it is worth the price of being left alone and that he will eventually get regular active posters again.
