    Hypothesis: the message seems to imply that the cliche nature lover needs to trample and destroy said nature to be close to it.

    This seems the most likely explanation to me.

    And I find it neither funny nor insightful.

    Edit: I can’t manage to copy paste usernames on mobile but please check out the refinement by the comment to this post. Highly valuable edition. Tldr of it: not “nature lovers” in general but social media invasive nature lovers.


  • For me it’s very simple: NSFW can’t have a general acceptable definition because it depends on culture, background and personal beliefs. There is no way for a collection of communities to have a common definition and even if they would have: enforcement and interpretation is still done by volunteers.

    Therefore All is never safe for work unless I know that my tolerance is lower than all communities within lemmy AND I’m fine with an accidental penis or breast due to human error.


  • I don’t hate that much but I don’t watch him because of the shady selling business hr often does and apparent sponsored content which is not always disclosed (been a while but his channel misrepresented graphics cards benchmarks for example).

    It’s like the British yellow press for me: his face alone is enough to discredit the quality of the source. Could it be good? Sure! Will I ever find out? Not anymore.


  • At least in Germany it’s the same. It gets ignored in the discussions concerning nuclear exit but it’s actually the main reason why I’m not aggressively against it: we have save areas for nuclear storage but those fight bitterly to not have it. The areas which are currently used are… Not good. Paying someone else (such as Finland) is out of budget for both state and energy companies. The latter anyway want to do the running but not the maintenance and the building, state should pay for that.

    It’s really white sad for me. The (true) statement that the dangerous waste needs to be stored carefully got corrupted to “it can’t be stored”.



  • Who should do this vetting though? The internet was built up with the idea of technical neutrality - everything else came on top. TLDs came later and were used to either describe the origin of a page or its intended(!) use. That leads to the case that not only can a propaganda outlet mark itself as “info” - it’s actually historically correct to do so as it’s about what the host wants to communicate.

    ICANN, the organisation behind the TLDs, actually always struggles with this btw. A more recent example was the decision which domain should be reserved for local name services. It took y long time (I think years overall) to get to: .lan









  • According to their page it’s a pure searxng instance. I didn’t see anything on my own instance changing so there are three options I see:

    • The mentioned server side changes (e.g. A server move you mentioned but could also be server settings, provider settings, etc).
    • client side changes: somehow your Firefox provides different information to alter the results
    • subjective change: it’s always a possibility that either what you searched or your perception was more fine tuned to Cyrillic.

    And then there’s the obligatory “none or all of the above”.

    Personally I’d guess it’s just a fluke. I gave it a few searches from Firefox mobile on “all languages” and had a mix of mainly English and a bit of German und French in there as results.

    Edit: if you’re comfortable with that feel free to share some search terms and we can compare results. Would be curious myself!
