Thanks Blaze!
I was planning to as soon as I get home from work, and also want to try to post some requests + submissions myself to get some activity numbers up.
Man I've said it before and I'll say it again since I'm replying to you: you are a legend on lemmyverse. Thanks for all the work you do to keep the community growing.
It's sad that the first though after the initial "haha, cool!" is that the bricks would be definitely be stolen after a few nights (if not after the first).
Lemmy peeking into a cave (into a community):
Edit: just reached 100 subscribers, awesome! We already have cool submissions and requests. Don't hesitate to participate :)
I messaged the mod of that community asking if they will spin it up elsewhere. I offered to open it up on sopuli if they are not planning to. Love that community!
Edit: I figured might be busy right now based on their history and might not answer any time soon, so I went ahead and created !sillydrawingrequests@sopuli.xyz.
The dude ranted for awhile in the issue thread and closed the issue himself too! lol
He's got enough haunting his mind
Agreed, it's a good book.
My personal criticism is just that the author, at times, fails to look at the topic objectively due to his own personal grudge with the four from the time he had his own company.
But it doesn't ruin the book, the book is indeed good.
E: And good point about the downvotes
Eiiiiiiiiii mä oon vielä tuolloin töissä! Noooo I'm still at work at that time!
I had a similar experience. Some niche local groups only exist on facebook and that's why I had an account that I never deletes since making it like 15 years ago.
My feed was filled with sketchy ads and recommendations so I didn't use it. Kept in contact with some old friends via messenger and only used groups pretty much.
That all changed few months ago when facebook locked my account for "suspicious activity" and showed me a prompt after logging in stating I need to upload a government issued ID to unlock my account. I checked and made sure this is actual facebook and not some fake site I accidentally would have somehow entered.
"Suspicious activity" was me logging via the web browser on my phone using another teleoperator while traveling.
When I returned from traveling I suddenly was able to unlock my account with just my email. Took the chance and deleted my account.
Facebooks groups are amazing, but yeah, the price is your privacy. And I don't mean just email and your personal preferences, shits wild what they know about you and what/how they gather information about you.
If you are interested in reading about it:
The book "The Four" from Scott Galloway. I personally didn't like the authors bias on the matter but he summarizes it pretty well how/what facebook knows about you.
Edit: why would people downvote OP's question? It's a good question imo.
Lemmy the musician right? If not then I have to get context!
Love the style and the cozy background. Extra points for drawing by hand! 11/10.
