That’s reddit. They don’t want their users to bleed and the mods that are left are scabs. It will be similar with other sites and it can feel like spam. The best thing you can do is populate the lemmy with HP info and hope it kicks off one day

When I was growing up, a lot of queer kids loved HP. There is a literal potion in the books that completely changes you to another person, including sex. I know a lot of millenial trans people who were able to come out referencing that potion and scene and how they could relate or wish they had that potion.

Imo, the books aren’t that good. For elementary and middle schoolers, sure, but I don’t think JK Rowling is a good author or world builder. I believe the IP/franchise relied heavily on the audience and Rowling backstabbed her queer fans. The same goes for the new game. It’s more open world drivel and I think the only way it got this big is because idiots kept talking about it.

With all of that said, having a community on lemmy that is about Harry Potter, and they are clearly pro-trans/queer, leftists/progressives, and ban any alt-right shitters then that is very good and powerful. It’s so powerful to get more HP fans in more leftist spaces so they can incept those ideas.

I am talking about general projects and nothing specific to coding. Unless I misunderstood their post.

I usually use it in conjunction with a Google Doc or something else. I guess i wouldn’t be surprised people completely use it for everything which I agree is dumb

What’s the issue with using Discord for communication for a group project? I understand for coding, and why not to use Instagram, but if it is just a group project why is Discord bad?

I liked it a lot when they had smaller content creators. Do they do that anymore or is it only celebs?

I rather it be a screencap and then a link in the description or a comment. I just rather not a direct link.

For things like ReVanced, they have been disabling Youtube per account. So what you are saying may have some weight if they feel like that’s the next logical step

Just a heads up, this is how early reddit was. People will argue that the larger the platform the more likely the community will deteriorate. I will argue that is partly true and does contribute to enshittification of social media, but I think the main factor is the corporate greedos trying to continuously increase profit. Reddit kept making new rules and policies that kept degrading the platform. They made a toxic environment where flaming and antagonistic content would be shown on people’s feed.

Am I saying Lemmy isn’t awesome? Not really. You guys can make that conclusion. But I have seen similar posts like this in the early days of reddit. Make do of this as you want. Ponder and ask what made reddit bad and if this is the path of lemmy or it is “naturally” immune to it.

Lemmy has a significant amount of tankies which is why you come across that term and politics associated with them. It is the same way you come across conservatives on Facebook or reddit, and Nazis on Twitter. If you use any platform you will come across political groups in some shape and form.

Not only reading comprehension but also media literacy and scientific literacy. Too many people misunderstand simple messages in media. Homelander from The Boys come in mind.

Women don’t exist

Can you explain how? I am not 100% sure what reddit is moving forward with and I have a seen few comments about fascists and this blockchain

I picked up plants when I got depressed. Not only are they cool, but it is nice seeing something grow and nurtured. Plus, I learned that there isn’t enough sunlight in my home which contributed to my depression.

The only thing I recommend is not to get a hard starter plant like calathea/goeppertia but like a spider plant. Really cool seeing them explode with growth!

It’s not so much what they got away with but working with the tools they had. It is the same for pixel art in the early gen consoles.

Are there other imaginary communities like the subreddits? Like /r/imaginarylandscapes, dwarves, elves, portals, etc. Even one that cross posts from reddit would be cool

This is how twitter and Youtube picked up pace. News organizations stsrted slowly creeping towards it and they have a lot of incentive to do so with how twitter is becoming a cesspool of Nazis and CSAM.

Around 15 years for me. I also took 3 10+ year old accounts too

Have an extension just to automatically redirect to my subscription page the moment i type in the youtube homepage. I haven’t seen the youtube front page in almost a decade and it is so worth it.

Are there even that many cops??
