I'm pretty sure mine is available but I still opted to use a period and birth year. That said I have/had many fake name google, yahoo, and AOL emails so I'm a mixed bag.

Yet to find one for specifically Arena, but if you haven't found the normal MTG community put this into the search function. [email protected] and also for specifically you (a lemmy world user) https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] here is a link if you wanna be lazy lol. Maybe they or their discord (linked in their sidebar) would know if an Arena one exists already or not. GL

I grew up late to the early internet days as I am just about as old as google itself. However, even in my time I remember light saber mouse cursors, neo colored backgrounds, the stupid but adorable fairy animations all over myspace, and websites auto playing Queen songs. There was character that we put it as a community.

While I may not be the biggest fan of the flat design of the lemmy website and how clinical it all seems, the FOSS nature leads to so much customization with apps and so forth while the content y'all produce is absolutely magical. If I see an ad I know it's cause one of you have something unique to actually show off and it's not just bots pushing me to open my wallet. Thank you, you lovely bunch of adorable dufuses.

Donation based funding has historically been used amongst the fediverse and is therefore the most likely path forward. I'm also partial to this model as it prevents predatory changes towards increasing ad revenue. We see many content creators and organizations (such as the lemmy devs themselves) utilize donations as a method towards preserving the FOSS spirit of the platform whilst supporting these projects part/full time or just server and maintenance costs.

I am of the opinion that in the long term, donations will also be the best way to preserve Lemmy's independence from profit based oversight by staying ad-free and the instances that step away from this and embrace ads most likely will be the ones that already have stepped away from the spirit of Lemmy by defederating. I have no interest in remaking reddit and many others feel the same so I am more than happy to donate and enjoy other FOSS projects.

There is nothing about the core ideology of Marxism Leninism that is opposed to queer rights. Actually there are a lot of queer people in the community at large who are communist and findable on YouTube or Lemmy. I'm one of them.

I'm not here to teach everything and I trust you know enough to be able to look up more as you wish. If you want an example of an ML nation that is pro queer look up the Cuba Family Code changes made recently. They're among the most progressive in the world and help to guarente rights for trans people, lgbt, and more. Additionally China has a large trans healthcare clinic first of its kind recently opened in Beijing and a well known trans TV host. Vietnam also has a vibrant lgbt community and even in North Korea homosexuality and cross dressing to my research are not criminalized despite lacking public interest/support.

The days of old are over and new communist nations can and are doing better to ditch reactionary tendencies especially around queer rights.

As a lemmygrad user it really just took a one paragraph summary of myself to get in, not too hard and was approved I think within the hour. They just want to keep out the trouble makers and I've done WAY MORE for low pop discord servers so no biggie.
