Excrubulent

I have noticed that a lot of the most irritating and vocal reactionaries come from those two instances, and it's not improving much. It makes sense - this is an alternative to reddit and the people most likely to leave reddit will include a large number of people who get banned a lot.

If they're reactionaries, they're not going to have many instances that are for them specifically - because those instances get defedded - so they will tend to go for the open instances. So those instances get a lot of the worst people.

And if their goal is growth at the expense of quality, then they won't fix it. They'll just get worse. The reasons beehaw defederated haven't changed.

People like you make it harder to criticise the US for legitimate reasons.

Hell, "election monitoring" in South America is a pretty historically good reason to criticise them, but now anyone who wants to make this point has to grapple with being called a tankie, and we have to sit alongside statements like "the Soviets who brought a workers' paradise".

Gee, that might have happened if any functioning soviets actually survived the first couple of years of the USSR, and it hadn't become a full-on counter-revolutionary state capitalist empire.

Edit: Actually looking at this person's posts they appear to be sarcastic here. Sorry, but there are ways to do sarcasm that land, and this wasn't it.

When people say things like this, I wonder if they understand how impossible it is. The King isn't just a powerful man. He is a divine being.

I mean money is just as made up as the divine right of kings, and it will end one day.

The media loves that tactic, we saw it the whole time with the BLM uprising.

See I knew it was probably about minors, but I don't understand how that notation equates to a minor scale in any way.

To be fair though, "The website doesn't remember my settings because I don't let it," isn't really a problem the website can solve.

I just had a thought that I'd like to see a plugin that independently remembers whichever cookie-based settings you want it to on a per-site basis and then re-inserts those settings into fresh cookies whenever you visit using some sort of search & replace or markup interpeter. Basically a way to maintain personal control over what data cookies can hold.

My dreams have been crushed. I may never recover. I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO GET TO SPACE

Wait, are you saying he didn't just pulverise a bloody trail through the university and NASA, stealing a PhD certificate and then a Rocket?

I mean, this is still a cool story, but I'm also kinda disappointed.

And if you don't have easy access to 5 min epoxy, you could go with the super glue + baking soda trick for a similarly strong and hard bond: https://gluetips.com/super-glue-and-baking-soda/

People won't usually go to that effort just to troll when there are open instances available, and anyone with closed sign up will be quicker to ban someone who turns out to have lied about the kind of person they are, rather than these giant open instances that don't seem to give a shit.

And yes, I know it won't '"fix Lemmy" or something lol', I never said it would. I said it was a feature I would like to see.

Right well the only issue with world in that case is that other instances defed from it, so you do have admins telling you what you're not allowed to see, but you're unaware of it because you're cut off from them.

Like I said, I tend to attract that sort of person just by saying things they don't like and I've noticed a pattern. Some other instances have noticed that pattern too which is why they defedded.
