I think it will be very easy to find a host that federated from them, making it easy to mitigate the damage.

There’s some people that can’t come up with positive references, even when cherrypicked. I’d probably fall into that group.

Looks awesome, would you mind sharing your conky?

Someone point this man to a soap opera instance, stat!

I disabled it on my phones. I’ve found it to be completely without value.

Out of curiosity, how many years back are you remembering? I can imagine it happened to me when I was 20 but its not really a thing for me at 50.

This is why people can’t take desktop linux seriously.

I ran a niche VW community and for a quarter of a year, I singlehandedly posted multiple posts daily. No downvotes, subscribers gained, 50+ up votes on some but practically 0 community engagement or content. Lemmy is too small still to support anything but politics or tech of a certain slant.

I chose not to wait. Greasemonkey script for blocking on desktop, Connect app for blocking on phone.

Unfortunately all of them break greasemonkey scripts that help with blocking instances, which would keep me from using lemmy at all.

The third of the vid I could see at any one time was very nifty.

On a somewhat related note, it seems Lemmy doesn’t know how to fit a tall video in a browser screen.

Any politics and porn servers or communities get blocked.

Please pet the cat for me and tell it I said “pspspspspspspsps”.

Lol, k.

At the dealership last month, I was looking at a used truck on the lot and looked at the window sticker on the new truck next to it. $87,000. For a Chevrolet pickup truck. How many people can afford almost 6 figures for something that’s supposed to haul stuff?

It seems like the disconnect between the sellers and buyers is growing and I don’t think it can continue for much longer without some kind of crash.

I won’t sit through a non-organic product placement. If I’m watching a guy weld up a body panel and he tells me how great a welder is, it doesn’t bother me. If I’m watching and he starts telling me about his VPN or a phone game, that shit’s getting skipped.

I didn’t state that they couldn’t do both. I stated that their readership didn’t necessarily want both.

They report on that because that’s what their readers care about. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone mention the Onion and journalism in the same sentence instead of a satire site. I’m not saying it’s less legitimate than the traditional outlets, just thought they were always proudly mocking news outlets, not competing with them.

Echo chambers are echo chambers, no matter the platform. As the voices grow, it gets louder. Just because it’s an alternative to the mainstream, I wouldn’t consider the members here smarter, more enlightened or savvier as a whole. Lemmy just got louder, that’s all.
