Last I read, the admin who was a day late in paying Sav for the renewal was actually able to transfer the domain to a different registrar (PorkBun) before Sav's auction of the domain was complete. This maneuver was either something that Sav's auction designers hadn't anticipated, or the auction was compromised because the main bidder (j_s_) was a hexbear user who'd found a way to make unauthenticated bids.

At any rate, I don't think they paid thousands for it.

I'd be surprised if he used anything like his natural accent - American voices seem to be against the rules for fantasy shows (though there's probably exceptions I'm not thinking of).

Am watching it for Aimee Lou Wood (the toughest foe a Walton Googins character has ever faced).

Not so bothered by the 'family of wankers', or the passive-aggressive bitchiness of Carrie Coon's gang, but we'll see. This show does the impressive trick of making unrelatable, unlikeable people entertaining.

Thought that thumbnail was a joke when I first saw it, like someone had pasted Luna's head on Mon's husband's body. Still looks a bit off, but I guess it's a "you walk in, act like you belong" reference.

All I need now is for someone to make it April 22nd already. By science or magic, I'm not fussed.

No, you're right. It's just how it sounds with Sanders' distinct accent.

Typically, if you see that one person is being banned from a bunch of communities at the same time, it just means that they are being banned from the instance.

If an admin wants to ban one of their own users, it's a single activity that's federated out, but if they want to ban a remote user, the only way it can be done under the current system is for every community that the banned person has interacted with to ban them. It's an automatic process, triggered by the admin pressing one button once. (it's not a perfect solution, because nothing prevents the banned user interacting with other communities, at least as far as their local instance is concerned).

Well done Scotland, for drafting and actually enforcing this law.

It's no surprise that this woman, and the others pictured in the article, are all of a demographic that they're not going to have to actually make maternal healthcare decisions for themselves.

The "previously on ..." for this drama was that someone created a Fediverse post ranking the different apps for how well they handled Lemmy's Markdown, and Racoon didn't score well in the original post. It was later revised after further testing, but the damage was already done.

I started a new account, on a new instance, and the very first notification I got was for a spam message from that 'fediverse chick' person. It really made that "it's like email" connection feel complete.
