Data scraping, there’s not really anything or not much that can or should be done about it. ActivityPub is, as the name implies, intended to be mostly public. If something is public, it’s public.
Bots, that is a more interesting question that may become more relevant in the future.
Mainly the fact that it makes sure that if I refresh after a few minutes, I will probably get different posts. That’s not the case for most other sorting methods.
I personally sort by “new comments” which isn’t a thing on reddit. So I am more likely to see, and comment on, things if plenty of other people have also done so.
But I don’t know how many other people do that.
Beware of meat and great and threat, they rhyme with suite and straight and debt…
It’s hard, can be understood through tough thorough thought though.

German has this too, “beziehungsweise”, but it replaces the “and” instead of being added to it. It is common enough that it’s usually abbreviated “bzw.”.
Both words can have more than one meaning.
Socialism may be among other things:
Communism, in Marxist theory, is a future stateless moneyless classless society which Marxists claim will inevitably happen after socialism. (Nonsense, but that’s the theory.) But a lot of times the word is used, it just means the second point from above, ie the way the Soviet Union and its allies were ruled. That’s mainly because a lot of ruling parties in those countries called and still call themselves the Communist Party of (country), though others didn’t, eg the East German ruling party was called the Socialist Unity Party of Germany.
Or that Hitler was a Marxist?
Hitler described himself as a socialist, but certainly not Marxist.
You seem to be confused what the word “instance” means in a fediverse context. The answer to your question, as asked, is “no, the question doesn’t even make sense”.
Lemmy and Mbin are two different backends that talk in the same language (“protocol”), ActivityPub, to each other. The entire idea of that common language is that you should be able to use either of them and also communicate with people using the other.
Legal questions cannot be answered without information which jurisdiction you want to know this about.
The article is from 2015, so without defending mass surveillance: is there nothing more recent? It’s possible they did that in the 11 years since then after all.
If I recall, I asked Gemini to generate an image of a kitten wrapped in a blanket.
It initially gave me a photorealistic image, then I asked it to turn that into a drawn image with the background removed, and that gave me what I have now (though I think I cleaned up some stray pixels in the background).
This is common when comparing acronyms of Germanic vs. Romance languages because the former tend to put adjectives in front of their noun, the latter after it. But acronyms aren’t really words.
Even both singular masculine. In Italian, “le” exists too but that is feminine plural. This is the only real example so far posted here.
If we count romanizations of languages not normally written with the Latin alphabet, I think definite articles give us another one: “la” in French, Spanish, Italian, and Esperanto is a definite article, and if I’m not mistaken, “al” is one in Arabic.
I used it for generating my profile picture here on Lemmy and don’t see anything wrong with that.
Nope, not mocking you.
I see the word time a lot of times here too.
You seem confused about a few things:
FWIW https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/ claims that instance operates according to Dutch, Finnish and German law.
I live in a country that lowered the voting age to 16 in the 2000s, so I voted in my first election at the age of 16.
I don’t think it changed very much at all, 16- and 17-year-olds aren’t big enough of a demographic or vote in radically different ways from people slightly older than that.
No, they are not, stop posting talking points that justify authoritarian government policies, those aren’t showerthoughts.
It would probably be easiest to do that with an automod bot… but I don’t think there are many benefits to it. After all don’t we want there to be a lot of content and engagement so that this place can become a good place to find information, interaction and entertainment?
I often post more than 2 posts per day to the same community simply because more than one interesting and relevant thing about the community’s topic happened on the same day. When I post the first one, I can’t yet predict how many more there will be on the same day, so can’t yet prioritize in order to not exceed the limit.
