The date at the top of the article disagrees.

No notice or even a single mention of how it’s over 10 years old in the post body. Duh.

50% of content in the fediverse is old reposts.

There is a wide chasm between 6-month-old reposts and nearly 15-years-old reposts.

In any case, OP was wondering why people disliked how old it was despite its relevance and I answered the question. You don’t have to like the answer. I have no interest in continuing this conversation. Good day.

This will never be passed because most of the people benefitting from Flock are the ones who will vote on the bill.

Like most social rules, it is an unspoken one, so obviously not explicitly written down.

That being said, this particular piece of etiquette harkens all the way back to the classic web rule of “no necroing”, which is still a common unspoken rule in one form or another in many parts of the Web.

If you want to reference an old webpage, that’s fine, but in that case it’s best to not post it like it’s a new webpage, which is what this does.

No notice or even a single mention of how it’s over 10 years old.

You don’t like the unspoken rule, that’s fine. But don’t whine about it or act shocked when people complain.

False binary.

In any case, like I said, you can disagree with the etiquette if you wish, but that is the ettiquette. So one shouldn’t be surprised when people disapprove of one breaking it.

It’s not that it’s less relevant, only that it’s not generally considered good form in terms of web etiquette.

You can disagree if you wish (you are entitled to that right), but that is how it currently is usually.

From a sociopolitical perspective, I very much hate red states, and I hate many of the people living in red states, but I don’t hate everyone in red states. There are many, many good people who are unfortunately trapped in those states through no fault of their own.

I say this as someone who is trapped in a red area in a purple state.

Definitely now when it comes to many islands.

Yeah, totally possible. I don’t know who the hell those two people are.

Oh 100%. I was just being a lighthearted goober about it. Lol.

<whisper>No one tell them about international airports…</whisper>

Exactly. Not everyone sees everything the first time it’s posted.

Damn right he is. He risks his safety and his life (and still does) to make sure we all know more about how the feds are spying on their own citizens.

He’s a true hero of the American People, that one, make no mistake.

I’m not your fwiend, buddy!

No, and I’m not a guy. 👍

Cheers!

I think that’s interesting!

As someone who works in retail, the thing that pisses me off frankly isn’t so much the stupid questions (though yes those are annoying af), it’s the fact that most of the time customers don’t even attempt to figure it out before asking. A question pops into their head and they immediately ask someone. Maybe they should try to use that brain inside of their head before bothering a severely underpaid & overworked retail worker who can barely afford food on the table before asking such an inane question.

Stupid questions don’t bother me as much when I can be assured they who are asking them at least made an attempt to figure it out on their own first.

It also doesn’t help when I’m asked the same question fifteen times in a single shift. (No, I’m not exaggerating.)

Some asshole downvoted you, so I gave you an upvote because there’s nothing wrong with admitting you don’t know something. Welcome to today’s 10 000! ^_^

As for your question, a nonprofit cannot make profit and has to work toward a societal good, while a not-for-profit also cannot make profit but is not bound to that obligation.

From this article:

While all types of nonprofit organizations share the common goal of not pursuing profits, their legal and operational characteristics can differ:

Mission: Nonprofit organizations are required to benefit the public or advance a social cause. Not-for-profit organizations, or “other nonprofits” as the IRS deems them, can also benefit the public or they may focus solely on benefiting their members.

Scale: Nonprofits are typically larger organizations that aim to fulfill a larger need, such as the American Red Cross, while not-for-profits (or “other nonprofits”) are often smaller, serving only their members, such as a social club.\

Revenue Sources: The revenue of a nonprofit organization primarily comes from donations, grants and memberships. The revenue of a not-for-profit organization (e.g., a social welfare organization, civic league, social club, labor organization, veterans’ club or business league) is mostly derived from sales and membership dues.\

Tax-Exempt Status: Nonprofits are often granted tax-exempt status under section 501©(3), while not-for-profits (or “other nonprofits” as the IRS calls them) can be tax-exempt under other 501© sections.

This is, perhaps to needless to say, a US-specific distinction and may be different or even nonexistent in other countries. :)

Cheers! <3

No problem! ^_^

Haha, no worries. Glad I could help! ^_^

It’s recommended to use CoMaps as that is the more-ethical successor to Organic Maps. (If you’re not aware, there was a problem with Organic Maps being very…non-transparent should I say, and people got fed up with it and forked the project with the intent of establishing a successor app but that was more dedicated to transparency in decision-making.
