I’m sure it’ll get removed. Voyager used to have it and I was shocked it disappeared a couple months ago in preparation for 0.19. Now it just shows post and comment counts.
- Comment on All karma lost since v. 0.19 10 months ago:
It’s not tracked anymore as of 0.19 (“don’t serialize karma”). Dessalines talks about how it’s being removed (and should’ve been removed sooner) here.
- Comment on Why is propaganda frowned upon? 10 months ago:
It kind of depends on the context it’s used in. The common meaning has also changed over time. All government press releases could be considered propaganda and they generally aren’t frowned upon. Having a Ministry of Propaganada used to be common until the word gained a negative connotation.
News propaganda is frowned upon because it’s fundamentally dishonest, even if individual stories are true. It’s masquerading as an attempt to discover truth through fact-finding when in reality it’s disseminating received “truth” through an authority. If, for example, the Russian government wants to spread a false story through RT, it doesn’t matter the size of your mountain of facts negating it, you cannot overturn received truth at RT. It’s not easy, and is often impossible, to discern between discovered and received ‘truth’ from propaganda networks.

- Comment on This ad that says “Wake up! A beach house is not a dream.” 10 months ago:
It’s real in that this was actually produced by an Israeli construction company. It’s fake in that this isn’t actually happening or approved by the state.
- Comment on If I construct a huge glass box and cover a fully grown tree - then fill the entire thing in water, what would happen to the tree 11 months ago:
It would die. The roots need to do gas exchange too. Ideal soil composition is generally 45% mineral, ~25% water, ~25% air, and 5% organic matter.
Tree bark also does gas exchange.
- Comment on The current state of Instagram 11 months ago:
It would vary by server, but pixelfed.social and pixelfed.art just require sexually explicit or violent images to be marked sensitive.

Might be a good time to dip a toe in the waters over at Pixelfed, if you haven’t already.
