You can make lists in joplin by using [] for check boxes. But yeah, it doesn't have a built in list editor yet.

EDIT: nvm, it totally does have a button that makes checkbox lists.

You can register with multiple instances, but you don't need too, because you can view, post, comment and vote on any instance that your home instance is federated with.

So you only need one account.

Can their be some sort of federation license that ensures privacy is protected between federated instances under financial penalty?

I don't think that it boils down to him being a good or bad person. Is Jimmy the person who hit upon the idea of giving g money away to his mom a good person? Probably as much as anyone generally is. Is Mr. Beast the self promotion based, overexagerated youtube personality a good person? Is he even meant to be?

I think the best analogy is that the shows he produces are a lot like reality television. In that way they are based off the appeal of watchung people display "real" and "authentic" emotional reaction that you just can't get out of actors. But behind the scenes, those are produced and somewhat manipulated to provoke these reactions, and that is the dishonest aspect of it. And while what he is doing is honestly not as bad as most reality television, I do think it is powered by that same kind of dishonesty.

I don't think it is bad for children to watch this stuff, but I think you do have to explain how many subscribers he has and how many people watch his videos, and that the people he involves in his videos is such an astronomically small percentage of people. Kids seem really susceptible to "sweepstakes" stuff - I know I was as a kid. But my parents did a good job of explaining to me how I probable it was for me to win that stuff without judging me for wanting to.

I still think the best way to engage with children's interest is to try to understand it, and then helping them understand more about the world.

I'm talking about on other instances, who are trying to figure out if they are defederating.

I have always found this argument disingenuous. Cheaters still find a way. At the end of the day, if you don't want cheaters, then play games with people you trust.

Kde plasma is working great for me! Just upgraded to bookworm. I'm definitely not going back to a proprietary system.

By keeping sign-ups open, mostly.

Lemmy.ml, to my understanding, was always meant to be a pilot instance from the devs of lemmy. Beehaw is kind of its own forum. There is also sh.itjust.works, but that has been caught up in some federation drama, and I don't think people like the name. Lemmy.world has been the right server at the right time to absorb everyone and I guess they have been able to keep up with sign-ups. Kudos to them.
