Yeah, I'm honestly happy about local translations, and I was still supporting Mozilla when it was rolled out. There's just been too much bullshit since.

Can only speak for myself but I'm some sort of neoluddite with a passionate hate for both the AI hype and Google.
Even if the people in charge of Mozilla are acting in good faith, I believe they are repeatedly shooting the whole organization in the foot with their stupid-ass decisions.
I used to feel lke Mozilla represented my interests online. Now they act as if they are just another tech company working to create technology I hate.
I still use FireFox on all my devices. I don't trust some random fork, WebKit browsers are just not stable enough on Linux, and I refuse to use Chromium. But my god I'm tired of Mozilla's shit.
So they don't intend on making a profit from it from data gathering, nobody asked for it, and the open source community who would otherwise donate or contributes to Mozilla are so disgusted by the whole thing tgat they are now just holding their noses and waiting for an alternative.
All of this while Google is stepping down as sugar daddy and they need all the help they can get.
Why the hell are they doing this? Is it just a case of moronic leadership and getting stuck in a negative spiral where the whole operation gets stupider and stupider with each new hire?
"Creators led this revolution"
The same way cows lead a slaughterhouse.
There's always a time between signing the law and the entry into force. It's hard to imagine actors being ready to comply on day one after a new law is passed if they had no time to prepare.
Of course. The mere intention of anyone having them is reason enough to bomb the shit out of them and justify it as self defence. Apparently.
Also they are so negative all the time!
Political defined as:
Pictures containing a politician from any country
Which is a prettyanageable definition. It's a cliche that everything is political, but it's also somewhat true. Banning pictures from protests would be a weird move IMHO.
I kind of agree, but on the other hand it's quite a good snapshot. It really does capture a moment in history and the failure of a country, in all its blurredness.
If this was a photography community, I would be more reluctant. But it's an interesting pic.
I would assume they have a five-year hosting plan. ;)
Yeah, I suspect they chose .pub because it was the cheapest available top level domain they could find "europe" for. I'm not associated with them at all, and I don't really know who's behind it, but it seems like they're doing a good job trying to create a European hub on here. :)
So this is an entire Lemmy instance dedicated exclusively to one specific brand of clothing, including a mirror of the associated Reddit community?
I guess it's nice that more normal/consumerist hobbies are also making their way here, not just programming and Star Trek.
I'm not sure the comparison to lemmit.online is fair. On lululemmy, only !redditmirror@lululemmy.com is a Reddit mirror. There's also !lululemon@lululemmy.com, though that community has no posts so far, and also a meta community.
Lululemmy appears to me to be more comparable to 50501.chat, which hosts one Reddit mirror (!mirror@50501.chat) but also a bunch of original communities. Blocking the individual mirrored communities seems to be a better option than defederating the entire instance in cases like these.
On PieFed, bot posts are hidden by default, so the only content I see in !mirror@50501.chat is whatever is posted there by humans. If Lemmy supports hiding bot posts I guess that's another potential solution here.
