I enjoy the Fairhaven episodes, but not the ones where Janeway has a romantic interest there.

Would require frontend work and maybe some glue for the backend. I think the Photon Front end does some of those embeds. I'm sure there's others, but not confident that any would work with Beehaw's older Lemmy version. Better to spend energy on the sublinks convert, or my home-grown alternative Fediverse stack.

Here's to a year that doesn't suck as much as the last few.

Welcome to the shitshow.

I mean, CONGRATS On leaving that shitshow. Welcome to the hive, happy to see more folks finding this space and contributing to make it better,

That is a acceptable response, functional, respectful disagreement is good! Can you share more about why you think that though? What could this community do that a new one for the specificness of the one you want?

I think this community fits the topic. Fracturing a community even further to make it more specific a niche, is not helpful.

Interesting discussion and question, thanks!

I am a reformed catholic. Raised as and confirmed Catholic, but as I've gotten older and more rebellious I've seen nothing but problems with religion. That is, I am not nor ever been an atheist, but I don't believe in any man-made religion as truth. They're shams to take your money; and some do some good for others. I am spiritual and believe in something greater than all of us. Maybe not the puppetmaster, but I feel there is some underlying driving connection and cosmic force we cannot explain or ignore. Your God? My God? Who knows, I do not claim to. But I feel it there and I feel better for it.

Actions on site and web traffic/use, behavior to Beehaw indicate suspicious users for our purposes. TOR and VPN use does increase those metrics/probability, but is not the sole determining reason.

What phone?

FWIW Beehaw uses gatus which is easy to setup and customize to your values. Also has some nifty uptime 'buttons' to showcase you history. Beehaw live status https://status.beehaw.org

Beehaw has not been under active attack, but we do have mitigations in place for suspicious users, based on activity which includes being on a VPN or TOR network.

Conservative policies generally emphasize empowerment of the individual to solve problems. https://www.studentnewsdaily.com/conservative-vs-liberal-beliefs/

That said, it's not a Broad stroke generalization that all Conservatives are alike, just as not all Liberals are alike. Don't paint the individual with the group, 100%.
