Nope! well not quite anyhow. A handful of instances are hanging on, not sure if they are farming genuine account tokens or still using guest accounts that haven’t expired yet, but nitter.cz , nitter.unixfox.eu , nitter.mint.lgbt , nitter.privacydev.net and more are still up. I heard speculation when the hammer came down that privacydev was already using full user account tokens
Ah yes, the classic family business: sex toy shop
The per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) had spread — through groundwater and products like Scotchgard stain repellent, Teflon cookware, food wrapping and fire removedant — and were showing up in the blood of people and animals in every corner of the world. They were in nearly every living thing, from house dust to human blood, in wildlife in the Arctic circle and drinking water, rivers, streams and breast milk.
Purdy’s warnings were clear, as revealed by former Attorney General Attorney General Lori Swanson, who sued 3M in 2010, alleging the company failed for decades to report that its chemicals could be toxic to humans, animals and the environment, keeping information from regulators and scientists to protect its lucrative revenue stream.
The morning the case was set to go to trial in 2018, after 22 hours of negotiation, 3M and the state settled. 3M agreed to pay $850 million to help provide Minnesotans clean drinking water.
The settlement with Minnesota is the third largest natural resource damage settlement in U.S. history, behind the Deepwater Horizon and Exxon Valdez oil spills.
But it amounted to just 2.6% of 3M’s nearly $33 billion in revenue in 2018.
The company admitted nothing, and maintains to this day that its chemicals have no adverse health or environmental consequences.
health insurance companies are some of the most evil things on the planet, and its a fucking stiff competition.
if they were visible from lemmy.sdf.org before that means they made it into the local database over there so they should only disappear if deleted
if you can give a specific example I can look at it and bug the admins with my findings but I’m guessing its just relatively low-activity comms that haven’t had any of their backlog synced over (lemmy only syncs like 20 posts per comm by default, and all new posts after that point should also sync)
federation is weird. lemmy doesn’t sync all posts when you federate, it only fetches communities when someone specifically searches for them and even then it only grabs the last 20 posts when it does that. i think there are bots to automate syncing comms/maybe post backlogs too, some maybe even usable as an end user
as in historical posts?
That literally only happened because the USSR and China would not and could not vote on it (respectively) because the UN was insisting that the KMT who only controlled taiwan were the legitimate representatives of china, and the USSR was boycotting the UN votes on principle.
The point isn’t “UN is infallible” the point is “Even anti-communist countries in the UN agreed that PRC is the legitimate government of all of China.”
blame lemmy’s terrible Active algo. It’s a struggle session factory
Also, the deepest faith you can have in a political ideology is when you don’t recognize you have one.
This is a powerful truth. Some of the most critical actors in maintaining the status quo are the mass of people who are convinced it is the neutral, natural way of the world and not informed by politics at all.
