I have been more active on Lemmy these last few weeks than I have been the prior 10 years precisely because I feel like I am interacting with humans again.

Thank you for what you’re doing!

Those count 😊 , but I guess I was mostly talking about indoor workouts like cycling, jogging on a treadmill, lifting weights. Something that you do purely for fitness sake.

Makes sense! Thank you.

You rock! Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if both instances are running the same version of Lemmy, why would lemmy.world be affected but not lemm.ee?

I want to genuinely thank you for taking the time to write this comprehensive list.

I have always been interested in psychedelics although I am a little hesitant because even moderate amounts of THC have had profound effects on me. One of the first THC edibles that I tried led to a psychedelic-like spiritual experience (which I know isn’t typical so makes me a little concerned about potentially having some pre-existing mental conditions).

I have always been a goody two shoes with rigid beliefs about the world. Never had done drugs. Drank very little and only during celebrations. The THC experience shattered many of the most rigid constructs in my mind.

I then attempted, with no luck, to recreate that experience for a very long time. This often resulted in me laying alone in bed stuck in thought loops. Precisely why your mention of walks in nature makes a ton of sense, by the way!

I can now see that my post comes off quite naive/arrogant and I will try to be better. But I did want to say that there are gentler ways of correcting others without belittling them.

Also, this proposed feature would still tie the anonymous posts to the underlying "true" user account. It would simply not make that information public outside of the instance owner. I imagine it would be technically possible for a community moderator to issue a ban on the anonymous account (and thus the underlying Lemmy account) without the true username or email being exposed to the moderator? But I understand that I'm making a lot of assumptions here.

Looking back at my post, I totally see your point. I will try my best not to come off quite so confrontational going forward.

You're right, I edited my title to be less clickbaity. Apologies for that!

Requiring a moderator to approve anonymous posts is a great idea!

I’m sorry I did not mean to imply that his has never been done in the history of the internet. I was mostly referring to Reddit and Lemmy, and this is yet another feature that could help Lemmy differentiate itself.

But people can already do that today! I mean sure there's extra friction involved with the current system but I doubt its enough to stop a motivated nazi 😀

Given such a feature, I imagine it would be technically possible for a community moderator to issue a ban on the anonymous account (and thus the underlying Lemmy account) without the true username or email being exposed to the moderator?

The evil instance owner is a whole different story, but if such a thing ever came out the instance would be abandoned and blacklisted naturally, wouldn’t it?
