Is this the combined bill for mastodonworld and lemmyworld?

[-] markovianparallax@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I think what people who are commenting here aren't getting is that they're only doing it to a percent of accounts and not ALL accounts.

[-] markovianparallax@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Wait, what. You are blowing my mind right now.

[-] markovianparallax@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago

Joke's on them. I set one of my communities to NSFW and then unmodded myself.
