Reminds me of the always sunny interview where an audience member shouted “shut up, bird.” Kinda missed the point there.

Or schedule the Reddit posts once or twice per day- highlights.

It’s a safe space in the literal sense. They defederated to keep out hate speech cross contamination.

Political stability is reasonable, economy’s unstable, seems uneasy. I get curious every few years and read up.

Seems pretty usable overall, great for midsize loads and the overwhelming majority of personal projects. Given the ubiquity of untouched ultra-capacity vanity trucks, this is an actual reasonable daily driver.

You mention downvotes? Believe it or not, reduce. You mention upvotes, also reduce. We have the best comments in the world because of reduce.

No, it’s exclusively admins using admin tools. Check the pixels for the usernames that placed them.

Forgive my brevity. Yes. Generally, and subconsciously, people prefer to see themselves in those they put in leadership positions. This policy will exclusively make military officers paler as a result, not better. The military has been promoting people of color to higher positions in line with racial enlistment proportions for like 50 years without issue. Reduced potential for bias is always welcome.

I really don’t understand the removal of awards. Why dump a system that makes them money for, basically, Venmo with higher fees. Who’s the target demographic for this?

Oh neat, this is a divisive rhetorical device. Don’t actually constructively argue for a policy you prefer, just attack how people talk about it. It’s fascinating to notice bad faith republican techniques you’ve only read about.

What’s this ”B” thing? I’ve seen it a few times on unique accounts.

If bots don’t end up an overwhelming issue, maybe. The internet has overwhelmingly changed between the formation of Reddit and the formation of Lemmy. Novel issues and solutions will form something new.

I’ve found several articles about Taranto*, but none of them mention a beating of any sort. Any chance you could offer some more details to narrow my search? Not that it matters with DuckDuckGo ignoring every boolean I throw at it.

Can you imagine the sheer level of disillusionment Epps feels? Dude’s been a fan of Fox, and particularly Tucker Carlson, for years. He hears Trump’s war squeal and, true believer that he is, jumps into action, joining hundreds to defend the country by any means necessary… and is immediately abandoned when he becomes a convenient scapegoat. I’m not sure I’d be able to function if a person I idolize dicked me that hard, that suddenly, and for so little reason.

The further increased customizability of kbin has been tugging at my curiosity for weeks, but I haven’t taken the dive yet. You might have finally convinced me.

Unrelated, but when you squeeze a tube of toothpaste, where do you squeeze it?

I might sound a bit elitist, but the sort of people who would join Threads would lead to step 0 of the enblandening of the entire fediverse. Not to mention increased bot spam. I say this as someone who is likely enblandening the fediverse.

I’m not sure whether the issues plaguing Reddit really apply to lemmy, even with a single instance being disproportionately larger than the others, which makes “Reddit 2.0” a bit less derogatory to me. Reddit’s moderator tools were severely lacking for the required output (federation helps diffuse communities, and lemmy doesn’t encourage bots to swarm in order to increase apparent user numbers for investor satisfaction), every big anti-hate decision required a media spectacle to precede it (admins here aren’t free speech absolutists with authoritarian hard-ons), and staff retention at Reddit is an odd loop of promotion into managerial obsolescence which severely increases overhead (irrelevant to lemmy). Reddit 2.0 wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world to me.
