That was Elizabeth II you are thinking of

Do we need a general term? Someone who uploads their videos to a video platform is probably a "video producer".

which isn't a bad thing either if you want to encourage people to have more kids (which of course is debatable whether that should be a goal, but many people think it should)

I don't think there is any limit. The amount of nestings shouldn't even really be a database field. I think Lemmy just stores which comment was replied to and then has recursion logic to display it right.

No, that was the world that ended in 2012.

They didn't exist yet when I was an early teenager, all we had were emoticons that might be replaced by images by the forum software, so of course I think they're stupid /s

Without sarcasm, it is a good thing we have standardized symbols now and don't have to implement emoticon replacement into forum or chat or social media software. If only because half of such implementations replaced any occurrence of the number 8 followed by a closing parenthesis with 😎 even when that wasn't the intended meaning (one can think of many other times one would end a parenthetical statement with the number 8).

The unpaid volunteers make the good product. It used to be that their decisions actually meant something on Wikimedia, in the last ten years more and more decisions have been made by paid staff through office actions. That is what you are funding if you donate to the WMF.

Wikimedia used to be a force for good. Not anymore.

That sounds awesome. What license will it be under? I think the world really needs a Lemmy implementation under a more permissive license than the AGPL.

Neutrality isn't a thing. Everything written about something as contentious as this is propaganda.

For attempts to be neutral, try Western mainstream media or Wikipedia (which mostly just summarizes Western mainstream media anyway).

For one sided propaganda for Israel, try https://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/

For one sided propaganda for Palestine, try https://mondoweiss.net/

Read all those and choose for yourself what parts of which sides you want to believe. Or don't. You can also live in peace and happiness knowing that the conflict exists without thinking about it too much because in the end it doesn't really matter what you think about it anyway.

"Sie sind hier" can mean "you are here" or "they are here"
