I dunno, 3 makes wild accusations about implied meanings. Seems suspect.

federating with .ml help other instances grow when people are kicked out of .ml? How does federating with them provide any benefit when people are kicked out of .ml? There's no federated 'transfer your account' option.

There doesn't seem to be as much or the same conflicts with .ml users in communities outside .ml versus .ml communities having overbearing mods that ban people. So the federation isn't so much the issue there. I much prefer the trend of people going to and making communities on instances where the powertrippers aren't tripping as opposed to calling for defederation. Federation with users across the largest instances is a good thing.

Defederating means a lot of people would have to make new accounts anyway. Grad and hexbear are niche enough that defederating is closer to banning a group of users. .ml would excise a whole lot of users who aren't even the tankies of concern.

Alright I'll bite:

This instance is already defederated from grad, which seems too eliminate the vast majority of problems as I see it. So I'd support other instance's decisions there to defederate.

Defederating .ml seems premature and unnecessary since the issues are either users who aren't actually bound by instance, or moderation practices which is not worth defederating over. I mostly think .ml isn't a problem as an instance so federating with them helps other instances grow if people get kicked out of there. Though if .ml gets reduced to a few niche communities like lemmygrad or hexbear, then yeah, defederation wouldn't be much of an issue then.

Hexbear users you know I think are funny, but they're so defederated up I know other instances may not even get a chance to do it. So that's just a freebie anyway.

The ellipses indicated I wasn't forming a beach head with the point. It's just the 'okay we will make our own place' comic in practice, which might've been an easier and more succinct thing to post.

Infinite? Nah. I just know the default state for every most online spaces is pretty mask off right wing. As an American government worker I have 90% cop brain interactions in meatspace too.

So the tankies, the few there are in a marginalized online space? Yeah, they don't worry me one bit. They're on par, if not almost refreshing, compared to any gaming lobby I have experienced for the last 30 years.

So I see what appears to be an outsized reaction to a really inconsequential group of people. The idea that one of their takes scares off a redditor or anyone else closer to the default is almost comical as a concern.

New Deal Coalition was strong, indeed.

Keep in mind business vendors ring up non-food and alcoholic beverages under food stamps all the time. There's always a gas station or food mart ringing up beer as gatorade and such anyway.

Our lawmakers just tend to refuse to regulate or punish business overall and displace everything onto consumers as means testing for resources.

Not pictured: the billionaires profiting from every angle of the war.

These was this whole 'Prussia' thing, too. The Weimar Republic inherited the government from the Prussian King who thought he was keeping his Monarchy. The Prussian military aristocracy sort of did too.

So you had the dominant state of the German Empire: Prussia, trying to reinforce/reimplement their hegemony over the other German states as a relevant background. The disenfranchised monarchists and anti-republic paramilitaries were quite influential in undermining the Weimar government.

RIP King.

When I was in fisheries the tuna boats would bring the haul of frozen tuna into port where they'd be weighed, counted, and transferred to a cannery also in port.

A lot were fileted and cut right there too, so not all was straight to can.

Now a lot of the cans stayed fairly together by shipment. So I imagine where a lot code was split across separate pallets or shipments might a single fish be sent to different locations in can form. So I would wager the 'rest' of the tuna is at least on the shelf next to... itself.

As far as waste though? Some companies are super diligent about their waste streams. Fish meals and such have resale value. Others leave large amounts of parts and material in their shop floors and just power wash it back into the marine waters even while being fined and penalized by regulators. So mileage varies there.
