What do you mean “throttle who can see you”. Lemmy is free like wordpress, as well

Upselling and throttling?

Hosting a static website is much much much easier and cheaper than hosting something with a backend like wordpress. A static website is essentially just an html file being served over a fileserver on port 80. I’ve seen people host them on top of a Minecraft server

Now THIS is leeching that I can get behind! Excellent work!

What if he’s widowed, not divorced

Don’t ask. Just drop some money infront of him and his girlfriend and just say “your cut.” with no context

Rn haven’t really felt censored by my instance that much. I believe I do hold different opinions to the admins, but that appears to be okay

Christ is also a foreigner in Europe and Asia, though. I don’t know why God’s nationality really matters

What was your job? I doubt the “foreigner god” has anything to do with you losing your job

Forgot easter this year was on 4/20

Went to my first Easter vigil. It was excellent!

I went to my first Easter vigil, it was very special. My parents will come with me for a morning service, then we’ll have a Barbecue!

Except in the 1500s, paganism was generally long gone- at that time, there was no point in placating it. The UK was under a lot of German and french influence, and less so nordic influence. Something as open and humanly universal as “pagans were bringing plants into the house” doesn’t necessarily mean Christmas trees are of pagan origin. Just that pagans brought plants into the house. (With that logic- is putting some flowers out on the table paganism?)

Your timeline at 4 is wrong - Christmas was celebrated as early as the second century. Hyppolitus mentioned it and it’s also mentioned in the Epistle of Theophilus.

you’re completely wrong

Weird accents and eat frog legs. And unfriendly. And always surrender

Lemmy isn’t a site- it’s a piece of software.

The software is developed by communists and there are communist sites running lemmy. However the guys developing the software’s political opinions don’t affect the work itself. It’s open source also.

That’s very lucky

They have enough donations to run for like a century. So I think there are higher priorities.

I kinda like the attitude some instance owners have about communities- that they aren’t people’s own little fiefdoms.
