My name is Dee, I hope you like me, if you don’t the block button is free.
As somebody who produces content (with a full time job so not as often as I like) it’s so much harder to get engagement on mastodon without the algorithm tbh. I’m trying to get my name out there but engagement is slim to none compared to say, Instagram. I’m not on Twitter but both BlueSky and Mastodon have been a struggle. I don’t see myself devoting too much energy into them as far as posting content goes tbh.
There is a fediverse version of YouTube already called PeerTube. But people are finding it’s incredibly expensive to host video streaming servers and is a large part why it hasn’t really taken off.
Yeah, I’m normally bad at remembering names but his stuck out because it was one I don’t hear often. I also love Never Ending Story, so that was another bonus for me lol
I didn’t think I’d watch the whole video but wow, the level of incompetence was just unrivaled. Komchatka was captained by Mr. Bean confirmed.
and he was a fair bit of a regular.
That’s the wildest part to me. You’d think if you’re into that kind of stuff you’d learn to repair your own equipment that hosts some of the most illegal content one could possess.
Somewhere I have a picture of it saved, but as a Sys Admin for an office one person had so much dead skin piled on their mouse I gagged. It formed the shape of their fingers on the buttons and the dead skin was, not exaggerating, like 4-5 millimeters thick of caked-on yellow disgustingness. Mind you, we provide new mice for people to use in the office for any reason, they just need to let us know and ask. There was no reason for this other than the person just being a Nurgle initiate or some shit. People are gross.
because I’m a minor or something.
That’s a pretty big something tbh, it makes sense that a mod/admin might not want a minor making sexual jokes on their instance. I’m sorry that happened and as much as it sucks for self expression it’s something to keep in mind until you’re eighteen because it might happen again.
Came to the comments specifically to say this, this is not world news. I hope we can keep this from being so American centric like Reddit was, but the track record hasn’t been super great so far.
are these editors orangutans?
The Librarian would be much more meticulous tyvm.
This is a fantastic resource for trans masc people! Does anybody know if there’s a video or audio format of this information or similar information? My trans masc partner is neurodivergent and doesn’t process walls of text too well so was hoping to find a another similar resource I could share with them besides this. That being said this is really a great resource for those who don’t mind reading!
It was just another link aggregation site like Reddit, you didn’t miss too much tbh
I agree. I wasn’t implying he deserved to have his plan dropped. Only commenting on the use of the drone tech for inspecting people’s properties. I should’ve clarified I was not defending the insurance company’s decision to cancel his plan.
I agree with everything you said. I do hope if they see all the lukewarm/negative feedback and decide to rebrand again that they stick with the fish theme and icon. It’s cute and I like that all the microblog platforms have animals associated with them. Bird, Elephant, and now Fish. Elephant and Fish can be friends, Bird can fuck off.
The entire Dreamcast catalog. Specifically Skies of Arcadia, Power Stone 2, Crazy Taxi, Sonic Adventure 2, Berserk: Gut’s Rage, Spawn: In the Demons Hand, Phantasy Star Online, and so many more great ones.

Exactly, the only subreddit I still visit is for my local city/metroplex and even then I’ve set it up as an RSS feed so I don’t need to actually go to Reddit. Once enough neighbors are here that RSS feed will be getting cut most likely though. Or until Reddit shuts down the RSS feature.
Oh I agree, I don’t think he should’ve been dropped especially since they’re not showing the photos they took meaning it’s likely not that bad. I was more so just referring to the use of drone tech for this type of inspection. I think that’s fine, as long as they’re giving proper notification like what’s required with human inspectors.
Absolutely agree, I don’t think they should be able to pull out like they did here. I could possibly see it if it was an extreme case of hoarding with an open flame and tons of flammable material or something like that, but there’s nothing to suggest that’s the case so the insurance company is in the wrong still. I was more referring to the use of the drone tech itself since this is the tech community.
Yeah, when Digg did the dumb thing all those years ago Reddit didn’t start eclipsing it for another two or three years. This feels very similar to that time tbh. Lemmy will get there, but I imagine it’ll take longer due to its fragmented nature scaring some non-techies so I’d guess four years and we’ll see numbers to rival Reddit. If you care about that, I kind of like the smaller communities, honestly.
Too bad there’s not a RemindMe Bot on Lemmy yet, this would be perfect for that lol
I get it, my sister got bugs in her home before from a hoarder neighbor and I’ve known somebody who had to move due to a fire caused by a different hoarder so I understand why they’d want/need to do this. But I feel like this falls under the inspection notification laws, at least my state has it where they need to inform you 24 hours before any inspection. So they should’ve sent out a notification 24 hours before flying the drone over and it would’ve been fine IMO. I’m not saying this guy was a hoarder either though, the insurance company wouldn’t release their photos so we can’t say if that’s actually the case one way or the other. But I’m fine with them using drones tbh.
I’m fully aware of that thanks, I was responding to:
And saying from the perspective of a content creator, that’s an issue that’s hard to overlook. So mastodon won’t get to that point of having all the content creators if there isn’t something to help them share their content. I don’t know what the solution would be, maybe a separate feed with an algorithm that people can switch to if they want.
Edit: and the antisocial comments below is why mastodon will never take off with the larger population and therefore never really compete with Twitter, Threads, or BlueSky for content.
