Ahoy mateys!
First, huge a thanks to everyone who volunteered to help out! If I haven't already sent you a thank you message, I will do so today.
After some discussion, we've decided to add two new admins to the crew in this round. Please welcome to the team @kittenzrulz123@lemmy.dbzer0.com and @SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com/@SnokenKeekaGuard@anarchist.nexus! They will be responsible for processing applications and dealing with reports, as well as contributing their input and expertise to the existing admin teams for dbzer0 and anarchist.nexus.
I'm also happy to announce that we've also recruited @y0kai@anarchist.nexus to help out @tenchiken@anarchist.nexus with sysadmin related work for https://anarchist.nexus/.
These additions to the admin team are intended to:
Please join me in thanking them for providing mutual aid, and in wishing them a very warm welcome to the admin team!
Cheers, Unruffled!

Top panel text: Liberals who talk about the death toll of communism when you bring up 10-20 million dying to poverty cased by capitalism every year. Bottom panel contains a tiktok screenshot of a man wearing a headset looking shocked and amazed, with his eyes almost popping out of his head.
Peaceful progress would be great, and is always the preferred option, but peacefully sliding into a dystopian capitalist oligarchy where corporations can legally profit off the death of their "customers" doesn't sound like progress to me tbh.
That's true - Raymond Hill, the uBO developer, doesn't accept donations or payment for his software. Truly a legend. I'd 100% donate to them if they accepted donations.
The meme is about Adblock Plus though which does have a paid tier. I prefer uBO myself, but if you are stuck with Safari then it's a legit option.
@sunbrothersco@lemmy.dbzer0.com maintains the Megathread and it is the same one linked in the sidebar for both Reddit and here. You can contact them for edits.
I did make a django wiki clone of the Megathread (community edition) a while back that members of this instance can make edits on. It can be found here: https://wiki.dbzer0.com/piracy/
Omg poor publishers not able to make a 2000% markup on their textbooks as per usual - think about the CEOs' bonuses guys!

Just a quick update, lemmy.world has posted an update that explains their decision here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/16795373
TLDR is that the person who removed the community is fairly new to the mod team and didn't realize there was a bit of a history to this situation. Also, looks like they are sticking with the decision this time around though.
Please don't harass the lemmy.world admins/mods though - if you don't like the situation you are free to register here or on another instance. And if you aren't a lemmy.world user, then this doesn't affect you at all.
I'm proud of our community here, and it's their loss, not ours! 
Yeah, it was a nice surprise for sure. I'm glad to have the lemmy.world crowd back, plenty of booty for all.
Because "you don't get rich by paying your bills" according to them.
Bryan Lunduke is just another right winger who's butthurt that Mozilla spends any of their money advocating for liberal values. Meanwhile the massive amounts of corporate cash that get funneled into conservative 'think' tanks (oxymoron much?) and superpacs apparently isn't a problem for him. While I acknowledge he does raise some valid points about Mozilla's over dependence on Google revenue, nearly all large corporations try to peddle influence with political parties and donate to social/charitable causes, so there's nothing unusual about that at all. If they were a more right wing organization, this article would never have been written by him, that's obvious takeaway here - it's just a stock standard conservative hit job.
If you say enough batshit crazy stuff then sooner or later you're going to get something right by accident.
A repack is usually a cracked release from another source that has been heavily compressed to reduce file size. They often come with a custom installer that manages the decompression process and streamlines the installation process, so you don't have to manually install patches/cracks after installation, and can skip optional content. Trusted repackers like FitGirl will also check for malware/viruses in the original crack, so you can be reasonably confident the repack is safe to install. Having said that, always take your own precautions when installing anything from the internet, i.e. virus scan and only use trusted sources.
Just a sense check here, are you asserting that Ada is a PTB for defederating from feddit.uk after their admins failed to take action?
Blajah Zone is specifically run as a safe space for trans folks, so it's an emphatic YDI to feddit.uk from me.
Given that the UK Supreme Court recently ruled that the legal definition of a woman in the UK is based on biological sex, and the supposedly Labour PM Starmer is running with it (wtf Starmer???), it's not surprising to me that TERFs and their supporters are coming out of the woodwork on feddit.uk.
Fuck TERFs and fuck Starmer for jumping on Trump's anti-DEI bandwagon just to pander to transphobic voters.
