Not the OP, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I do think it's a little odd given that the security is at the client and not in the protocol. As others have mentioned already, if you use skyview.social, you can see the posts anyway.

Apparently redditors who are too dumb to register should stay on reddit?

This has come up on Mastodon as well. Mastodon has a default server, which is mastodon.social. It's somewhat controversial. I think it's helped adoption but it's also putting the ecosystem more under Mastodon gGmbH's thumb...which is not great. I myself am on mastodon.social because it seemed like a sane default. I'd have chosen differently if I knew what I know now.

I'm not as plugged into what the defaults are for Lemmy or if there even are any. I'm sure there is room for improvement, but it is fair to say there are a lot of people who willfully refuse to understand how federated software works and act like it's so complicated that no mortal can possibly understand it.

Can we do a lot more to help people who wish to join decentralized social media? Yes, absolutely. Should we give people shit for acting like choosing a server is so hard and confusing that they'd rather be on fascist-aligned platforms? Also yes.

I literally yell "fuck you" at my alarm from time to time.

You could also check with a junk yard to see what they'll give you for it. I had a similar situation a few years back. They mostly wanted it for the catalytic converter, but I got a few hundred dollars for it. That will be, by far, the easiest way to go. The more convenient it is, the less money you're going to get.

The post office won't buy that.

I don't think you can "return to sender" something that is addressed to a person who lives there.

I hate to break the news to you but Bitcoin and Etherium are worth real money for exactly the same reason as meme coins.

It's meme coins all the way down.

Yeah but I'm out $50k on the loan.

What kind of interest do you get on deposit with yourself?

There is a new version of OpenWRT to install. Also the dog I will dog sit for in June is coming over to visit and meet my cats.
