You know how the Romans collected taxes in there less “Roman” providences?

Well that would certainly explain why the tax collectors get such a bad rap in the Gospels.

Pretty sure it’s a bit related… And there’s nothing wrong with learning a bit more about history

Students, especially in the Philippines and some 3rd world countries. You can basically use Messenger and Facebook without data, just without images or video. For the sake of accessibility schools tend to use these services.

I am one of those people who are forced to use these social media for school.

Using thorn is pretty innocuous (even though it’s mostly used incorrectly), pretty sure I saw you or at least one of you. The fact people will downvote thoughtful responses just because the way it was delivered annoys them shows a lot about humanity. And especially when people hunt down your comments to downvote them, even when there’s no thorn at all. People tend to do more annoying stuff that is way more inconvenient than using thorn, and I’m talking about certain internet etiquette practices.

The ones most important to me are:

tagging features, tagging hotmaps for communities, search by tag, comments from crossposts is combined to the viewer (there’s a divider to show which community),

when someone posts from a certain instance like beehaw you get a reminder about their community standards, user flairs

less resources needed to load stuff (great for third-worlders like me), post and comment subscriptions, feeds (something similar to a multireddit)

topic categories (do note that topic ≠ community) like Regional > Asia > Philippines in which each topic category shows all posts made by communities in the category. For example if you are in Topic: Regional you get posts from all regional communities, in Topic: Asia you get posts from all communities based on Asia.

Yeah, I just made the switch to piefed some days ago. Isn’t there a saying don’t put all your eggs in one basket? My first accounts were on kbin and fmhy.ml, but they’re not around anymore. I made the switch to lemmy.world, then learned about piefed and since I like the features it had I made the switch to it.

The fediverse in general is like the Wild West of the internet.

Jeez. I knew they were tankies but I didn’t know that they were deliberately leveraging their instance to put other instances at a disadvantage. I recently moved to piefed for an unrelated reason after a discussion about kbin, this place was said to have a faster rate of development.

What happened to Lemmy?

I honestly wish I didn’t have to rely on apps made by corpos just to stay updated in school. And I would probably need to use Google and Windows products once I start work. Ugh

Period dramas set in France. On one hand there’s the glitter and social schemes, on the other, justice and revolution.

But it isn’t about your keyboard; it’s theirs.

But why not?

Two questions though. One, if it is time, why eat a big lunch rather than a big breakfast? Two, if it is money, why not split lunch into breakfast and lunch?

I see breakfast as part of the time when you’re getting ready for the day. I am not sure what else to respond to why it’s shocking to me, it just is. I am also more likely to skip lunch than breakfast.

The amount of Americans in the comments who don’t eat breakfast is shocking
