That’s funny, I saw that first comment by toiute in the wild and thought it was really strange. Lemmy seems like such a waste of time as a platform to promote scams. Very low population (relative to other social media) and a mostly tech-savvy crowd.
Good work! Glad to know
They could worry about regulating the industry to prevent exploitation and trafficking, but God knows they’ll keep their hands out of that
Just in case anybody doesn’t know, if you’re a US or Canada veteran, solidworks is $20 a year
My cats sit by the vents in the morning, the furnace kicks on at 0600
Yes!!! My wife and I are big critical role fans, so this loving trickster was easy to name
She’s the sweetest cat on the planet, she doesn’t fight at all when we feed her through the tube, she even cuddled the heck out the vets when they gave her shots.
Her surgery was to correct a cleft soft palette, basically a big hole in the back of her throat connecting to her nasal passageways. Made it hard for her to eat and meow, probably hurt a lot as food would make it’s way up into her sinuses.
Normal operation for this birth defect is to put the kitten down, but she stole our hearts so completely that it was worth it to us to get her fixed 💘
Holy crap everything you were saying was hitting word chords in me, so relatable, then you said Monticello. I just moved to Earl Park, was going to have to decide between Century Link and satellite, then Mainstream came through like a week before I closed on the house and installed cheap fast fiber.
I would just like to point out that I do think this is a very reasonable take even if you’re being downvoted. Perhaps there’s no literal books of people blowing strap-ons, perhaps plenty of people don’t consider that inappropriate for children. But it’s never unreasonable to try to understand your “opponents” in a battle, and even perhaps come to compromise. Most social movements start by asking for a lot, then dialing back to more “agreeable” terms. Sure, the fight isn’t over yet, but a battle being won is still important.
It’s just a case of different opinions, I think. Or perhaps they think reddit having 100’s of millions of users is creating the problems, and that they won’t exist here if those same voices came to Lemmy. But I would mostly just say it’s two different groups of people asking for two different things.
I’m in the boat that Lemmy has fully replaced reddit for me and I don’t feel the need to go convincing more people to jump ship. The people who cared about the health of Reddit as a platform have already come to Lemmy, the people who don’t, or need the massive userbase to use a website? They can stay there.
What? No, he’s saying they’re bringing reddit behaviors with them as they leave reddit, and he hopes they’ll stop.
For a hot minute there I misread, I thought Intel was leaving the business off making PC parts entirely, not just these small form computers. Really rustled my jimmies
Would it make any sense to stand up my own instance, federated with what I want, follow the communities I want from other instances, and just ignore the rest? Is there any reason to not do that?
I fit none of your 3 categories! But I would say with the slightly less convenient joining process compared to most social media, the Fediverse is going to have to built up by people willing to take that burden, at least at first
Hey, I text sometimes!
