Sorry, the connection was choppy. Can you say that again?

Rain, rain, come today.
I love you rain, don't go away.

Life insurance companies could conceivably do this already. They sometimes ask for blood tests (among other exams) as a precondition of granting overage.

It includes ... copies of historical documents including the U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence and Pledge of Allegiance.

The Fedipact statistics are interesting

7% of active users committed to - https://fedidb.org/current-events/anti-meta-fedi-pact

  • How representative of the user base is this, or are admins gatekeeping here? A large survey would be good to clear that up.

  • EG, Mastodon, relative to its userbase, seems the most "Meta friendly" with only 57% of fedipact users (but ~80% all users)

  • Fractal of niche-dom? Fedi ~1% of social media, fedi-pact ~ 10% of fedi. So anti-meta-fediverse ~0.1%?

That FediDB stats page is confusing. It isn't clear whether they only count instances that have joined Fedipact, or also include instances that have blocked Threads without joining Fedipact. A quick glance at the list suggests the latter. But in that case, there are a bunch of instances missing from the list.

The list on the Fedipact site is a better source:
https://fedipact.veganism.social/

As for admins versus users, here on sh.itjust.works we held a vote among our users. The result was overwhelming: 78% of users voted to preemptively block Threads.

I know what I'm doing for my next vacation.

Kids, get your shoes on! Storm's coming! We're going out for pineapples!

It's a slow trickle these days, but still fun when something new gets published. This one is from the archives.

Something is definitely up with this link. It works for me on desktop, but on mobile it sent me down a series of sketchy redirects that ended with some garbage about personal injury lawyers.

Holy cow, happy cake day!

What have the past three years on Lemmy been like for you?

    three-month probationary basis

    Stating this indicates they will never give you an ounce of trust, nor the benefit of the doubt in any situation.
