She took a plea bargain. Without her as a witness, SBF probably doesn't get convicted of nearly as many charges. If you read the article, there was a distinct possibility that she wouldn't do any jail time at all. The judge was relatively harsh with the 2 year sentence in this case.
So this sentencing has essentially nothing to do with her wealth.

This is some baby back bullshit.
The judges fucked up and didn't give her the appropriate difficulty score for her routine. Her coaches realized this and challenged successfully, raising her score to win the bronze. And then they decided to revert to the original score because the coaches didn't challenge within 60 seconds? Even though there's video evidence showing that they actually did?
Ffs give her the medal already, she earned it fair and square.

Yeah I guess that's true, they are defederated from us but technically we aren't defederated from them. But they still can't see anything that SJW users post or participate in our communities. And same for lemmy.world, etc.
So you only really see them when they comment on lemmy.ml communities for the most part. There are a lot of lemmy.ml sublemmies to be fair.

Suggesting that we move towards space-based astronomy doesn't mean he's out of his mind. He might not be a professional astronomer or astrophysicist, but that hardly indicates insanity.
They had an opinion and expressed it. You can then reply and explain why you disagree. No need to call them insane for expressing their thoughts.

The best way is to make an account on a server that doesn't federate with them. Sh.itjust.works, lemmy.world, and most other large servers are defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad.ml.
Apparently lemmy.cafe is defederated from those as well as lemmy.ml. Be aware that a good chunk of major communities are hosted in lemmy.ml, so you won't be able to access those if you're defederated.
Unfortunately even if you block them, you will still see posts and comments that users from that server make on external communities. It's only by being fully defederated that you won't be able to see any of their content at all.

God damn I just read through this whole thread and people are actually frothing at the mouth about returning shopping carts to corrals. What a sad and pathetic existence to live, where you judge other people so harshly over the most insignificant things.
Lemmy can be really fucking weird about certain topics. People here should probably touch grass more frequently.
One time I got absolutely dog piled because I said Fahrenheit was more practical than Celsius for the weather and stuff. It's hard to be an American on Lemmy sometimes.

Caesar: Outplayed gg noobs
[Las Meninas (Spanish for 'The Ladies-in-waiting')](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Meninas) is a 1656 painting in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, by Diego Velázquez, the leading artist of the Spanish Baroque. It has become one of the most widely analyzed works in Western painting for the way its complex and enigmatic composition raises questions about reality and illusion, and for the uncertain relationship it creates between the viewer and the figures depicted. The painting is believed by F. J. Sánchez Cantón to depict a room in the Royal Alcazar of Madrid during the reign of King Philip IV of Spain, and presents several figures, most identifiable from the Spanish court, captured in a particular moment as if in a snapshot. Some of the figures look out of the canvas towards the viewer, while others interact among themselves. The five-year-old Infanta Margaret Theresa is surrounded by her entourage of maids of honour, chaperone, bodyguard, two dwarfs and a dog. Just behind them, Velázquez portrays himself working at a large canvas. Velázquez looks outwards beyond the pictorial space to where a viewer of the painting would stand. In the background there is a mirror that reflects the upper bodies of the king and queen. They appear to be placed outside the picture space in a position similar to that of the viewer, although some scholars have speculated that their image is a reflection from the painting Velázquez is shown working on.

Threads will be implementing federation in the near future and many instances have been discussing whether they should be pre-emptively defederated to protect the fediverse. See below for our local discussion thread, which will remain active until this vote is complete.

I didn't want to make an announcement about this but since there seems to be some confusion (to say the least), I feel that I must. You have almost certainly started seeing posts and comments from hexbear.net users in the past day or so. Long story short, when hexbear originally federated into Lemmy a few weeks ago, they left SJW off the list of instances they wanted to federate. A few days ago, hexbear users had a vote where they agreed to add SJW to their list of federated instances. Myself and TheDude were informed of this vote by the hexbear admins while it was in progress. We agreed that if hexbear voted in the affirmative, we would be amenable to federation and seeing how it turns out. Now, here we are. Hexbear is a Lemmy server that was created about 3 years ago as a new home for the former users of r/chapotraphouse. CTH was banned from reddit because they were openly calling for the deaths of slave owners, which reddit considered hate speech 🙄 Hexbear is composed of leftists of all shapes and sizes, and they also have a special sensitivity to the struggles of marginalized groups, including but not limited to LGBTQ folk, the disabled, and gingers. Some things to know about hexbear: they removed downvotes from their platform. Therefore, they tend to make a lot of comments, because the only way to respond to something you disagree with is by commenting. This can give the impression of being brigaded, but that's not necessarily the case. Also, their custom emojis are displayed very large on other instances. This is a technical issue that will eventually be fixed. Of the major instances, Lemmy.world, lemmy.ca, feddit.de, and beehaw.org have defederated hexbear. SJW, Lemm.ee, and lemmy.ml are still federated with hexbear. I hope we can all get along, but obviously that's not going to be the case. I recommend that users from either server make use of the block function as necessary. More importantly, don't intentionally go to communities on the other server and attempt to antagonize them because you have a differing political stance. Some political debate is well and good, but there is a time and a place, and if you're not sure, it's probably best to keep it on your own server. We will be banning hexbears **liberally** if they come in here trying to start shit, and their admins will do the same regarding our users. Pun intended. Bottom line: we will not be defederating from hexbear in the immediate future. I personally believe they are a valuable asset to this platform, and I urge you all to give them a chance to contribute positively. If you find them annoying, just block them and/or report them; they are subject to the same rules of conduct as everyone else.

Reddit has decided to run another edition of r/place in mid July for some unimaginable reason. https://sh.itjust.works/post/1387534 It seems to me that it would be stupid to not at least attempt to advertise for Lemmy given the perfect opportunity. Many have expressed concerns about giving reddit more traffic, but a few thousand users is less than a rounding error to reddit. However, getting a few thousand more redditors to move to Lemmy would be great for us. Hopefully I can get a few sh.itheads to help in this noble endeavor. If not, at least I tried.

The two obvious themes in my mind are gears/some sort of complex machine, or computer hardware/circuits. As an avid Lain Iwakura enjoyer, I added that screenshot because it's awesome and I think it'd be an extremely cool banner, but there are probably much cleaner designs out there that would be more welcoming to new users. I'm sure you guys will be able to come up with some in short order. You can look on lemmyverse.net to get a quick overview of some other instance banners. I really don’t know how the formatting and proportions are supposed to work but I will edit that in as soon as someone clarifies. Lemmy.world looks like this  This discussion will run for at least a week, and then we can take the most upvoted submissions in this thread and put them up for an official vote.

TheDude recently upgraded the server to the most recent version of Lemmy. You'll notice significant improvements to the user interface, and hopefully the functionality is also improved. There is no official changelog yet because this version is not yet finalized, but I'll link the GitHub releases page where it should eventually appear. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/releases Edit: 0.18.1 is now fully released and we have upgraded to the final version. You can view the link above for the changelog.

Say "aye" or yes" if you are in favor of defederation. Say "nay" or "no" if you are against defederation. All of the relevant information can be found in the link below. Thank you all for your input. https://sh.itjust.works/post/564252 I can only hope for this level of engagement in all discussions going forward 😅 I apologize for the lack of clarity and structure surrounding the process and just know that we are working to streamline the process ASAP.
