Thank you for the clarifications!

I’ve been enjoying my time on Beehaw and Lemmy at large. I’m astounded that removed content isn’t also marked for removal on other instances. That moderators have to duplicate each others efforts is actually nuts. That opens up every Lemmy instance to an insane risk of abuse.

I will stick around to see whats next for Beehaw. I have to say though, the reason I enjoy Lemmy specifically is that it is so much more readable than Twitter or traditional forums ever were. The nested structure of comments is not something I’ll easily give up.

There are many scenarios you’d want seo and a csr. Let’s say you want a media player. Tons of interactivity, and lots of content. A landing page isn’t going to cut it.

But that’s the beauty of a framework like nuxt or next - you don’t have to choose. You can have your cake and eat it too so to speak.

I think you may be missing the concept of ‘hydration’. A server side rendered app will deliver the pre rendered markup so that the client has something to immediately display while the framework continues to bootstrap in the background. It makes for much quicker and more efficient first loads, or ‘time to first paint’. A SSR website will still be a CSR website after hydration completes.

In addition, many web crawlers are unable to execute JavaScript. So for many single page applications, or CSR as you call them, they appear as a blank screen to less sophisticated crawlers because the content is never loaded. This is an catastrophe for things like SEO. SSR fixes this issue by delivering the content without regard to JS execution for the initial load.

Pierre Elliot Trudeau, a former prime minister of Canada, has a great quote that I like to pull out: “No place for the state in the bedrooms of of the nation.”

I think sex work should be legal and regulated to avoid trafficking and other health issues. General indecency shouldn’t be allowed, like in playgrounds, parks, or where minors may otherwise be present. Private clubs, events, etc. should be fine. Governments should otherwise be uninvolved in our sex lives. It’s none of their business.

However to answer your question directly, while I think it should be legal I also think it’s sad when men use a sex workers services. I try not to, but I can’t help but judge them. There’s only a handful of reasons where I think its a persons only option. If someone feels like they’ve run out of options, it’s just sad to me. What’s gone wrong? Where’s your confidence? Have you given up?

And for those legitimate reasons, like someone who’s physically handicapped - that’s heartbreaking for whole other reasons.

It just makes me sad.

I agree. Sometimes its easy to forget that these online celebrities are people. Linus is a person, as flawed as any of us. He let his ego get in his own way, and took sharp criticism of his company as personal attacks - which is an obviously easy thing to do. The important thing to look at is whether or not LMG / he learns from this, which I’m sure they will.

The only truly concerning thing to me is the Maddison stuff. That I’m reserving my judgment for. I don’t doubt her account of things, but it’s simply one side to a story. That she self harmed to get a day off is very worrying, but it’s also a massive red flag. That is a pretty extreme escalation. Clearly she wasn’t stable, but did LMG cause the instability or just contribute to it? Either wouldn’t be ok, but she was a person acting abnormally - and that’s a lens that deserves extra consideration.

I don’t intend to stop watching LMG for the time being, and I’ll withhold my judgment for now.
