Action Bastard

Yup, although the downside is that your posting style definitely shows off that you’re a Mastodon user.

Your use of the @ tag, the hashtag are all markers of a more Twitter-like user experience, and it makes you post stand out somewhat oddly for those using one of the lemmy instances. Either way, it’s really neat to be able to cross between those, since I vastly prefer the Lemmy UX as opposed to Mastodon’s, but I can still get a Mastodon’s content!

Because it allows for proper prioritization of needs, allows for the better exploitation of our surroundings (as tool using animals), and is INCREDIBLY useful for helping us try to “model” other human’s behaviors and act as social animals as opposed to just being the regular kind.

Probably the most impact “Why” question probably started occurring before we were even human and it was “Why did they do that?”

Being able to understand the motivations of other beings is absolutely fucking incredibly overpowered both in terms of cooperative action with your fellows AND destructive action against foes/food sources.

As someone who helped to generate those types of answers and then deleted them all.

Fuck Reddit, they didn’t pay me for that work and then they dicked me over in chase of a half penny. Sorry the rest of the world doesn’t get to use my work for free, but Reddit broke the agreement. I post content, they provide a good user experience. They failed their end, I rescinded mine.

No, it’s just a matter of who they accept as legitimate “authority”.

If the Dumbass-in-Chief, their ministers, and their news had all told them to wear masks, they absolutely would have, but every single one of their primary authority sources were pulling in different directions and they don’t accept any “liberal” sources as legitimate authority. You can see it at a much smaller scale by looking at Church congregation sizes where some ministries focused on trying to protect their elderly and infirm members and those who didn’t.

Conservatives who had pastors who told them to wear masks were a LOT more likely to do so than ones who were getting mixed messaging.

BIFF|@|AOL.DELPHI.PRODIGY.COMPU$ERVE.NETCOM.WORLD.MSN.B1FF.EDU DUDE!

Cause they were annoying as shit, and only a small class of users even liked them in the first place.

Back in the 90s, a lot of forums would also ban your ass if you had an obnoxious signature to boot.

What’s stopping Reddit from just nuking it and deleting all the posts in one day?

Oh interesting, so it seems like the actual winning play is to swish with water and a bit of toothpaste probably, since it contains a small amount of base to help negate the acid.

Based on the article, it’s the mechanical brushing part that makes it bad.

That’s probably the optimal play, yeah.

Make sure to brush your teeth afterward and don’t make a habit of it. Acid damage will fuck your teeth up real good if you’re turning to this regularly.

Depending on how many gummy worms and their manner of entrance, they will potentially expedite themselves.

They’re absolutely overpaying. Don’t forget that the last revolt was triggered in part by them demanding that all their devs move to San Francisco (where they have to pay San Francisco sized salaries).

They had remote working teams in place PRIOR to the pandemic, and they scrapped it because all the stupid executives want their taint fondled while they look over their cubicle farm of peons like all the other tech execs.

Weird, I figured it would have been poop in the poop hole.

Eternal September comes for all sites eventually. Arguably, we’re the first waves of Lemmy’s Eternal September for some folks here.

On reddit, reaching a certain negative score threshold would often hide your comment, meaning that your contribution to the thread would be hidden. As the site got older, karma began to be used as an initial leaping off point for participation in some communities, making down votes socially expensive for casual participants, since that slowed their ability to interact with the more restrictive communities in the site.

So, keep in mind, Lemmy is an incredibly young platform. It’s still kinda buggy and it looks like they got caught a little bit flatfooted (which is fair, who would have considered that Spez was this much of an idiot prior to it happening).

It’s likely that the project has a number of bugs that will have to be ironed out now that they’re rolling at a decently sized scale, and this is one of them. Things will likely get patched up fairly quickly, but it still requires dev time.

Beehaw, to my understanding, has 4 mods who do all the management for every single community in the entire instance.

Works okay when there’s only 1,000 people.

Works less okay when there’s 50,000.

You’re not allowed to vouch. You have to be the foolish pleb who doesn’t appreciate Cevilia’s true genius. The more of a country bumpkin mouthbreather you can act like, the better it’ll go.

And while you’re both negotiating with the buyer, me and my team will be down in the basement blowing the vault door. Remember, 30 minutes, then meet at the fallback point.

Convince some eccentric millionaires that its got an incredible depth of meaning, and only the truly discerning eye can see it for what it really is.

Ah, I missed that. I thought you guys got defeded at the same time as here.
