Nope! But I’ve made them. I needed to go find someone with more normal eyes to test my creations for me, though.

I remember! Except mine was a static .htm file with enough scaffolding that I could open it with the browser and click the link instead of copy-and-paste-ing.

I read a book. It’s quiet, it’s restful, it often helps me get back to sleep but even if it doesn’t it’s still relaxing and worthwhile.

How do ya’ll live like this? If I have more than four or five tabs I get crushing anxiety.

Just, uh, don’t ask how many bookmarks I have that I’ve never revisited.

They’re reactionaries, and deeply regressive.

For me, it’s more like:

My social battery has been dead for a while and I can’t moderate my behavior enough to get new people to put up with my bullshit.

I don’t like it, no. But it won’t be replaced, just like the wild west Internet of yesteryear wasn’t replaced: it’s still where we left it. And so will these behemoths be, when we move past them.

Don’t believe me? Livejournal and mySpace are still running, at the same addresses. Your old login still works.

There’s no ideology described as being “pilled” that’s anything but toxic.

You’re subbing the wrong munis, cousin. I find it very vibrant here compared to most of social media, including blogs.

Or the patterns I notice in mythological stories across cultures.

In a Joseph Campbell kinda way, or a “every culture has a flood myth” kinda way?

slrpnk.net has an AI intercept called Anubis, fwiw

• remember something important during a conversation and grit your teeth in concentration trying to keep the thing in mind while still paying attention, ultimately failing at both

starting project early is stress-free? for who? this has never been my experience

I put it off to the last minute specifically to avoid being stressed the whole time

You saw the whole paragraph where I talked about how lemmy is not a democracy, right? And literally cited this as one if the reasons why?

Like I get that you’re probably responding to multiple subthreads right now, but it only takes a few seconds to scroll up.

It’s mostly about the sound of your voice. My eldest got Vonnegut and Law & Order. So much of the latter that both before and after birth the “dun dun” sound from the show noticeably calmed her down.

It’s called “voting with your feet”. Being free to leave is power. Means a hell of a lot more than up- and down-doots.

Lemmy is inherently democratic. If you don’t like a muni, or an instance, you go to another one. Without centralization dictatorship is impossible.

That said, it’s not democracy, either: It’s a federation of interdependent polities, each with their own laws and administrators. Which is good, because it allows for rapid response to spam, inappropriate content, and verbal violence.

And if the admins or moderators overreach, well, back to the first paragraph: we’ve got open borders, go homestead your own community on another instance. You literally cannot be silenced here.

Depends on the dictator, depends on the democracy. Ideally neither, but democracies are usually less awful than dictatorships.

I could legit crush that RN

who is shitting in their kitchen?
