The DeSantis administration’s latest culture war fight over a college-level psychology course is sending Florida schools scrambling to figure out how to handle the confusing standoff, with just days to spare before students return from summer break.
Considering the geographic, economic, and cultural differences among the states, I prefer the strong state argument. You think giving more power to the Federal government is good because you assume those in power will align with your ideals. What happens when you assume wrong and someone like DeSantis has the keys to the White House?
What social media platforms do you use and want to recommend to others? Front ends could also be a suggestion, along with lists of great communities....
If you came to talk politics, your gonna be a minority. If you came for hobbies, it’s a pretty chill place. Just block the major ragebait type communities and it’s all good.
Yep, straight A’s in all AP classes right up until college. Party life and not being prepared for the stuff you are talking about really derailed my progress.
Ultimately I realized I can make good money in IT without a degree but it’s still much harder to get past the automatic screeners without a BA.
It would be nice if other industries had certification programs like IT does. I took a couple classes not long ago and really enjoyed them but it’s so hard to manage work, school, and parenting nowadays.
It does beg the question of why federate at all if you are going to make a walled garden anyway? I would think a private forum would cost a lot less to host too.
Ya, the tech interests me. It feels like a version of the earlier internet where private forums and webrings were the norm. I like the native support for blocking things I don’t care to see as well.
I don’t think “free speech” and “don’t be an asshole” are incompatible. I do mostly agree with your take, there different flavors of asshole that are more tolerated than others though.

I saw another Lemmy post asking “What is something illegal that your workplace did?” and started typing a warning but figured I’d just get downvoted for some “boomer take” as if Lemmy wasn’t recently massively compromised.
The nation’s second-largest teachers union said Thursday it was losing patience with social media apps that it says are contributing to mental health problems and misbehavior in classrooms nationwide, draining time and money from teachers and school systems.
Sounds like your university is using a Palo Alto Next Gen Firewall which is intercepting DNS requests and responding with the sinkhole FQDN for anything they deem malicious or suspicious. You can try to override this with DNS over HTTPS but they may also be blocking that. Standard security stuff. You can also probably try to open an IT ticket and request that they whitelist the domain.
Are you hosting a service that is not under your organizations official domain or something? It is common security practice to block newly created domains which may be why your domain is blacklisted if you only recently stood it up.
That is possible as well. Those firewalls are capable of packet inspection. If you are using personal devices it won’t be able to see much if you are using encryption in transit but if you are using University provided machines there is a good chance they can inspect all the data you are sending and receiving.
I guess it is a consequence of the Reddit migration where the habit is just keeping the old community name. But having C/Politics being US only on Lemmy.world, an instance that aims to be international (hence the name), seems weird to me....
There’s gonna be a lot of culture shock from authoritarians throughout the fediverse it would seem. Some people don’t know what to do with a little freedom.

At the same time, Lemmy.world seems to be frequently under attack so...
