Because the Fediverse is a great target for propaganda, which is invaluable for some authoritarian countries.
Lemmy is an echochamber with relatively limited, uncoordinated moderation. 1,000,000+ monthly active users, and lemmy.ml is a flagship instance.
It’s a bummer. I love the idea of the Fediverse but it’s having some propaganda growing pains.
Hard disagree, they’re here and able to operate relatively freely with no central admin fighting disinformation.
They’re not delusional, they’re paid.
I bet a little prep and informed management of the situation can resolve it for her. It’s important to keep blood pumping to get it out of lower extremities and into the brain. Walking in the aisles and leg exercises while seated are easy options.
Elevating the legs + lowering the head can also help. If she does pass out, laying her down and lifting her legs can quickly get blood to the brain. Alcohol and large meals can exacerbate it. Good luck!
If it’s vasovagal syncope it’s probably unpleasant. Can cause sweating, confusion, and a bunch of other problems because your brain isn’t getting enough blood to function.
Sounds like orthostatic hypotension causing vasovagal syncope. She should wear compression socks and drink plenty of water. There are ways of mitigating and managing episodes. It’s relatively common on planes.
You guys keep disregarding any and all criticism of capitalism
Spend three seconds on Lemmy and you’ll see how wrong this is.
Can you give an example? Are you talking about propaganda from a government or something else?
Centralization is still a problem, but LW doesn’t have as much propaganda and aggressive moderation

I wonder what the hundreds of thousands burned alive for not being Christian would say to your comment.
If billions of people believed Santa Claus existed, and forced their beliefs on other people, wouldn’t you get sick of it?
Religion has killed many millions of people, standing up and calling it out for it’s lies and nonsense is the right thing to do.
Or phone case advertisement. No doubt this post will increase their sales.
I usually think of habits in terms of willpower. It’s just one perspective, which is focused on the development of positive habits and routines.
Willpower is like muscle. You can only use so much before you get tired and it stops working, and if you regularly use it eventually it will get stronger. So, the strength of a habit depends on how much willpower it takes to complete. If you go for a run every morning without even thinking about it, that’s a strong habit. If you do it regularly but have to drag yourself out of bed, it’s a weak habit.
Worth noting that a key to building habits is to work on one at a time until it takes very little willpower.
Agreed. The paucity of shells is somewhat understandable, the lack of jets (and other equipment) is a clear misstep by Europe, the US and other allies.
Fwiw your comments seem just fine
Why does your account have so many downvotes? Did you piss off the propagandists on lemmy.ml or something?
That’s exactly my thought. I really don’t like “Threadiverse” for that reason.
Might want to find a new instance
