I help run the place, so I'm biased.
Anyway, the instance is wetshaving focused, which is to say we use all sorts of nice shaving soaps, razors, blades, etc, and talk at length about it.
A mini event is in the works that most of the regulars are taking part in. Everyone is being mailed a small sample of the same soap, and on July 17th we're all going to use it and give our thoughts.
It's niche, and we know it, so we're open to answering questions, etc.
Wets having what?
Just started a writing club in !writing@slrpnk.net so I'm partial to it. But it is very quiet there.
I've got vague designs on livening the place up, so it's been in my thoughts a bit.
Sounded interesting so I went to subscribe. Turns out I was already.
Haha nice, I guess I should post some stuff, get it back on folks' radars
I'd like that. Maybe I get an idea sometime, but life is busy and writing is only my occasional hobby.
Respect
Is there anything youβre interested in?
well I've used the search bar to find everything I can think of. I haven't been able to find a good sopranos shitposting community, or anything similar to the benzodiazepines subreddit
I like corn dogs.

All communities that I moderate (on my .world account) and all pretty inactive. I'd love to see more cropped memes!!!
Have you ever heard of this cool niche kernel? How was it called?.. Uhh, I think it was Lunix. Or was it Linux? Yeah, Linux!
Its userbase is pretty small, I bet nobody heard of it on such a tiny platform as the Threadiverse

Dang most of these resemble my old reddit favourites.
Same actually
I want to plug the communities I created, but I'm always afraid that's going to be a divisive comment. I have zero desire to really "moderate" anything, but I do have communities that I would love have some engaging conversations in, as well as places where people can exchange helpful info and advice. I am planning to make a community for cleaning and organizing tips and discussions.
plug away this time since its relevant and not spammy

When I click any of these links, I get an error.....
that's the point
Oh!

I remember this thing way way way back when, and it was mentioned in the news? It had some kind of really neat visualization thing screensaver? Lines and lines of colors, with some spikes, going from further back towards the viewer and...
I couldn't find that part again. I loved that, need the useless neat part
Are you thinking of Folding@Home?
I am absolutely unsure, and think any information I have about it comes from like 20 years ago. Is it that old? I thought it was pretty old. I remember a news report about it, like on the TV proper. The screensaver was like...little bars of color coming towards the camera, continuously going forward until it filled up and restarted. The spike bars were meant to be like...the data from outerspace. If there was a tall bar, it could be anomalous!
I have an extremely shitty memory, so this is exactly all the information I have.
Hmmm I think that it might not be Folding@Home in that case. Sounds cool, though!
IT LOOKED LIKE THIS https://archive.org/details/0x-0_20221225
So it seems like BOINC or... SETI at home? Or what it was?
Edit - I looked them up. They're not going anymore it seems, 'no longer distributing tasks'. Alas!
Nice find! That does look neat.
Many of the BOINC projects these days don't have screensavers unfortunately. But World Community Grid and Rosetta@home have decent ones.
