This will be referring to recently introduced laws essentially banning all/any abortion to be carried out (in some states even in extreme cases like rape/incest, or to save the life of the mother), but outside of that an illegal abortion might be due to it being done later in the pregancy than is legal, or without following required processes e.g. requirements to get scans first, alert the father, or have a consultation (most of which are often just traumatising anti-choice measures). Also as you say, using an unlicensed practitioner or unsafe method, yeah. Which aside from money, is sometimes due to fears of repercussion from their community or partner about either the pregancy or getting an abortion, so they seek back-door options or try to do it themselves without proper care.

If you federate with Threads, dont Meta have that federated user and content data cached on their servers? Producing content outside of Threads and posting it to Threads still gives them content, and information about you. Much like how people without Facebook accounts still have shadow profiles from being featured in Facebook users' pictures and posts. The only solution seems to be (though maybe I misunderstand) not to federate or engage with Threads servers. This would be too philosophical a point for the vast majority of Internet, and especially ex-Twitter, users. Mastodon instances would have to explicitly defederate which could kill their userbase if the traffic flows to Threads, which it did in a matter of hours.
I didn't see this until just now! No notification outside of the app, my inbox inside the app got a (1) unread icon when I refreshed earlier.
Notifications have been very spotty for me on Jerboa (not tried the others) but they are implemented. Just not always effectual for some reason.
Yeah, as expected really (unfortunately). Idk what the right response to that is as a moderator, other tham permanently going dark. If there's 0 negotiation on the cards, I anticipate some subreddits who just signed up for the confined 48h to support 3PAs and who are less concerned about mod bot functioning/3PA power users leaving and have more casual human moderation will just return though. Depends how they feel about the direction of the site's popularity vs alternatives ig?
? It was a 48h protest. So yes they're still dark on the 13th. They were scheduled to return tomorrow, on the 14th (and some were thinking about staying dark for longer, depending on reddit's response).
Maybe I am being pessimistic, but asking volunteer reddit mods to drop tools for more than 48h during such an interesting time for the platform is feeling about as realistic as asking your alcoholic uncle to stay sober at a wedding reception with an open bar. Can they really stay away?
Does anyone know if you can hide posts in Jerboa? This post and a lemmy.one welcome post are pinned at the top of my feeds, and they take up a lot of room visually. I'd also like to hide posts I've already seen, as on smaller communities I only want to see the occasional new posts, not see the same post from 3 days ago every time.
I didn't know about kbin before making a Lemmy account, and Lemmy is the one being spread around Reddit as an alternative site. It then only comes up through an occasional comment on certain communities (meta ones) that the Lemmy devs hold particular views, it's easy to browse a lot of content without finding that out. That's probably the major reason.
You still need to sign up to/log into Threads (via Instagram) to have a Threads account or be active on there though, so what makes it theoretical? If they counted all Instagram accounts as Threads accounts it'd instantly be in the billions surely.
