I dunno man, when it comes right down to it, who are any of us really? Y’know?

American liberals would be Tories in the UK.
I think between those 5, there’s not a country on the planet that hasn’t been infiltrated.
Both to the instance I’m on, because hosting and bandwidth costs money and to the Lemmy software devs because I’d like them to be able to concentrate on developing Lemmy.
It’s my absolute favourite book series ever. I kept putting it off and putting it off as I thought - Napoleonic Wars, sailing ships, nah - but they blew me away from book 1.
There are solid rumours that a script is being written to launch the series as a movie universe. To be honest though, there’s so much detail in each book I think each book would work better as a TV season.
Master & Commander.
I’m accessing via alexandrite (a.lemmy.world) and having no issues at all.
I think people are forgetting that Reddit didn’t start off with communities (subs), they came later. Reddit got big the same way all sites that don’t have a built in audience (e.g. Threads users basically being Insta users) - time and commitment.
Lemmy is not going to be as big as Reddit for a long, long time. Everyone has fallen into this habit of thinking all Reddit mods are power crazy egomaniacs and some are, no doubt, but the good subs on Reddit required dedicated time and effort to build up. Curating, introducing and constantly readjusting rules and expectations and at some point a good sub reaches a tipping point and it’s popular.
All this will take time with Lemmy. Community mods will need to be as dedicated as Reddit mods were. And, as a side issue, this commitment to making and keeping a community great is what spez and his idiot gremlins have just thrown away. It’s not about user numbers for Reddit, it’s now a priority for them to get mods who are willing and able to put in the amount of work the mods they just alienated had. Subreddit engagement stats are mostly going down take a look at the number of posts and the number of comments for r/askreddit, it’s a steady decline.
Lemmy might not ever get as big as Reddit but it will grow if mods stay committed and users keep posting and commenting. If that happens, that same tipping point will come.
Downvotes mean even less on a Lemmy instance than they did on Reddit. They don’t affect your ability to post to a Community, or comment on a Post or start a Community and they don’t affect your comments position in a thread.
It therefore doesn’t matter in any way if people upvote or downvote your stuff, let it go as a concern.
Or, if simply sharing an instance with left leaning people is what really bothers you, exploding heads exists.
Paradise Lost, and any collection by Sylvia Plath or Anne Sexton.
I feel so stupid now. I can’t believe I ever thought a good way to save on costs was to not pay executives millions of pounds in wages and bonuses every quarter. Now I realise it’s better to lower wages/hours for minimum wage staff on zero hour contracts or lay them off.
And its not messy if you have PJs on?
Mine used to be Martin Router Ping.
Probably the part between the trailers and the credits.
Tech is fine but applying for permission to have kids (based on what criteria?) and having to present my DNA everywhere to track everything I do is several steps into overbearing state control.
You can’t complain about the dangers of totaliterianism and also make your last two bullet points with a straight face.
Capitalism has led us to believe the only true value of something is financial. Education shouldn’t just be about positioning you for a good career. We’ve substituted human morals for religious dogma. We need David Lynch to do one more season of Twin Peaks.
