Oh yeah, I remember hearing about this. Even apart from instances some community names by default aren’t federated. It’s a really weird stance.

As long as you can reply to replies of people who blocked you, I think it’s fine. Reddit’s approach is absolutely insane.

I think sometimes it gives people analytics on how many people click the link when the link is to something they themselves don’t control. But I’m not entirely sure if that’s a common service shorteners offer.

Lemmit already existed and was annoying as hell. It was the first account I remember blocking.

95/100, this grade brought to you by Doctor Squatch.

I think JetBrains’s approach is nice. You can subscribe monthly but anything you e subscribed to for 12 months you get a perpetual fall back license for. Unless I’m missing something specific it’s a win for everyone.

Shampoo cleans your scalp moreso than your hair. Conditioner makes your hair nicer moreso than your scalp. Both of them have unique needs because they’re on your hair rather than just your skin, which is where you use soap.

Never said we shouldn’t be translating the names of countries, only that there is a reason to think we shouldn’t. Because the comment I was replying to said “There’s no reason to expect them to be the same in different languages.”

💀 I hate my country

Never said it was correct to not translate country names. Only that there is a reason to think they wouldn’t be.

Finally we can get into Eurovision!

Your name is your name. Things like Jack versus Jacques or Matthew versus Mateo exist, but those aren’t your name.

Thanks, fixed

But they specifically said “There’s no reason to expect them to be the same in different languages.” Which there absolutely IS a reason to expect that.

In Spanish it’s Estados Unidos which seems like a translation of the words.

No… I have a name. Someone talking to me in a different language doesn’t make my name different. It’s intuitive to think country names are the same.
