Nothing is worth that much after you've tasted the an epic games bundle from Fanatical, etc. that gave you hundreds of hours of solid enjoyment from games at a total of <$10. At least, that's what I've experienced as an unintentional member of !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works...
Tesseract seems to be some kind of platform for Lemmy; I'm not sure if it's an Android app or just a web app. The dev has enacted a shadowban list to try to reduce calls for violence, homophobia, xenophobia, etc. I don't seem to be on the most, and I had either way never heard of Tesseract before. I personally use Blorp to surf Lemmy.
Or persuade them...
We always have and I've often ignored big corp.
You also said, "but made by a quintillionaire," as if that is a point lowering its indie status, and as if money is the defining aspect of indie vs. AAA.

From what I understand, this is more about legitimately good posts getting deleted and basically the solid info amid the responses getting lost/inaccessible as a result. Despite the decreased anonymity, the loss of information for the hive mind is severer than on Reddit, where deleted stuff can still show up in search engines, or something like that. I don't remember the details of how it works but it's a mounting problem with Lenny's design. Perhaps a better explanation by me elsewhere in this post: https://programming.dev/comment/24979223
Actually, this is one of the biggest longevity-harming issues with the way Lemmy works: people ask a legitimate question, it gets a great answer, and the original poster deletes the entire submission once satisfied. Access to even the responses seems to be totally cut off versus (Old?) Reddit in which you can still view the discussions if you have a link to the post. At least that's how I've been understanding it. I mean, I saw a notice by a Lemmy mod in a Q&A tech community once (can't remember which, but I can try to look for it) asking people to not delete their posts once they get answers.
Why not try to protect the general populace?
Dragonflies live their entire lives full of violence from birth to death. They don't care about plants, and are constantly killing and eating other bugs and avoiding/getting eaten by all larger predators at every stage of their lives. They also eat hundreds of mosquitoes once airborne. It's unfortunate that OP got bitten, but they're absolutely incredible hunters that are on our side.
Worse; they're soulless!
Seeing that duplicated question kinda makes me trust them less, like this was AI-gen or a surprisingly careless mistake...
Yes, this original scene was about hiding their spears against oncoming cavalry. I'm not sure of what @saltesc@lemmy.world is referring to but that is entirely something else.
