And don't forget about all the (literally) record-breaking temperatures, like that day where the Artic spiked 39 C / 70 F in a single day (article). Ahhh good times... Hey, listen to all the bugs outside? Such quiet indeed.

It is hilarious that you could read those words in any order and it would still work for him there.

There are some places on the Fediverse where intellectual discourse - and honest questions - are outright welcomed. Sadly, whenever communism is brought up in such a prominent community, it summons the trolls. "They" have decided that it is to be thus, and with their numbers they enforce their will upon the rest of us.

It was this way on Reddit too, towards the end, and even more so now. Also X - these latter two more from far-right than far-left but whatever they claim to believe, their attitudes seem to be the same: the consent of others matters little to them (edit: actually that is probably not true - it seems to only embolden them further to think about overriding those; if you go into their spaces and read their chatter you will see this for yourself).

I have some high hopes for platform alternatives to Lemmy - including Piefed, Mbin, and Sublinks - that will allow for some larger-scale changes to facilitate further separation from at least that particular source. But for now, if you do a Lemmy search for the keyword "tankie" (yes it's a pejorative but... this is a search, and it's what people use), you will find many, Many, MANY posts on this topic.

It is probably the single biggest division in all of Lemmy - and imho at least (+ that of MANY others, including Reddit mods of major subs as you will read) it is the single thing that prevented Lemmy from going mainstream, back during the Rexodus. "They" don't want to hear "Western propaganda" on "their" platform, and vice versa, except almost every admin across the entirety of the Fediverse has refused to defederate from all of the "tankie" instances (notably, lemmy.cafe is the only one that blocks from all 3 - lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, and lemmy.ml - though the much milder midwest.social is still federated).

Is that possible? With lemmygrad.ml being defederated from Lemmy.World I mean, where this community is located. They could always use alts ofc, e.g. from lemmy.ml.

I don't know why this image came to my mind... I guess he's supposed to be jealous of all the attention that he hoped would go to him? :-)

You just helped me realize that I have never personally cooked anything with garlic in it, ever. So I actually have no idea how "gross" it is supposed to smell, during its cooking?

I personally love the smell of fish as it cooks, though I have been told that I am disowned now from my family as a result:-P.

I suppose to each their own! :-D

Oh definitely he would pick Kirk, without a doubt. :-P (/s b/c that's not what you meant but... also not b/c that's totally what Kahn would do)

Until v0.19.6 (the git link says "federation: parallel sending per instance #4623"), although I'm surprised that they haven't switched to a package model yet - that must be absolute hell on someone's network bandwidth to operate a Lemmy instance. Imagine an accidental downvote, then press it again to cancel, then press upvote, altogether counts as 3 separate network traffic packages. In comparison, I would naively guess that e.g. sending a whole minute's worth of activity would be much more preferable, or at least bundle all the activities together that occurred within the prior second to send at once?
