Both. The text data is in the database of all instances that are federated. Your account credentials are only stored on the instance you're registered to.

I hope we can replace him. I wanted Garcia to win. Eric Adams is a fool.

There's no shortage of things to make up, it's their biggest strength.

Someone should just ask them to stop doing that!

The article touches briefly on it, essentially even though a minority wants these terrible policies, that minority are the GOP base and are generally single issue voters and religious. That minority has an outsized say due to gerrymandering. And there is also a feedback loop in this country where the GOP gerrymanders, they cut education and other social services, blame the "enemy" for the downturn in QOL for their constituents, and repeat. It solidifies the us vs them mentality that has these people voting against their own interests.

Obviously super simplified outlook on it since it is a very complex issue. Other people in the thread have explained better.

Something's changed, but if we close our eyes and stick our fingers in our ears we can continue business as usual

Apparently, you have to live it

No truer words.

I mean if on Pixelfed you @pics@lemmy.world, what happens if there's a user with that name. Does it post to the community or send a message to the user somehow?

On lemmy communities start with ! while users start with @ .. but it looks like you used @ to reference the community

What happens if someone creates a user with the same name as the community?

This is pessimistic but it seems to me that Florida is absolutely and incredibly fucked. It's not even an uphill battle to protect the keys and Everglades, it seems unwinnable without absolutely massive and rapid global shifts, or am I just a doomer?

This will make the 3 people who actually used Cortana mildly disgruntled.

 

I have some communities on my small instance that I will never browse, I want to remove them to free up space and not pull useless data (to my one other user and I). I click "Remove" on the community and then I click "Purge" and the community is removed and purged, but a few seconds later the community is back with different content.

I know I can block the communities to stop them from showing up on my "All" feed, but I have a small instance and don't want that data sitting around if nobody will ever look at it, as well as limit the small amount of unnecessary additional strain it may put on other instances. What am I doing wrong?
