this hit me like a mental flashbang. your wisdom is beyond all of us

People that don’t check what community a post came from on their home feed and just upvote it if they like it.

Full disclosure: that was me just now until I opened the comments, realized, then took it back. It’s very easy to miss sometimes

Isn’t the way it works now also a debate winner? The blocked user can reply to you and you won’t even know, so you can’t refute whatever they’ve said (and if you’ve blocked them there’s decent odds it isn’t good).

I often see this accomplished with dashed interjections - dashes! can you believe that? - as a way to break up a sentence while still continuing with a single train of thought. But I always support the invention of new punctuation, how long has it been since we got any? We’re well overdue.

Baldur’s Gate 3.

I played through one single player save and two multiplayer ones with different groups, enjoyed it all - but only got a little ways into Act 3 on any one save. A combination of middling performance with my older rig and just having sank so much time in I burnt out a little.

Still think it’s a fantastic game, but I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to finish it - I feel like I’d have to start a whole new save.

It’s alive!

Good luck lads.

Scaled sorting is gonna be huge I think. Really looking forward to that

the smell of heavily chlorinated water. i used to spend a heck of a lot of time at the pool when i was a kid, and where i live now there aren’t nearly as many pools, so it’s not something encountered often anymore.

I used to years ago, but I haven’t recently. I don’t hate it, I just decided I didn’t wanna pay that much per year anymore - I actually think it’s quite nice that Discord still operates off of people paying for non-essential features instead of paywalling actually useful features.

You know, based on your username I think you might be just a little bit biased

Honestly I sometimes wish the trigger finger was itchier. I think this should have happened back when hexbear was also defederated, but at least it’s finally done with.

Finally.

I’ve been using Connect ([email protected]) and, while it’s not the same, it feels fairly similar to RIF (which I used to use) after some customization.

Because it’s not Reddit, and is active enough.

In terms of content Lemmy is definitely inferior to Reddit. So it is, it’s not very old and not very large compared to Reddit. But because of Reddit’s decisions, I’m here instead of there.

Reminds me of a lion’s pelt, all it needs is a mane

Differences in instance-level topical focus and moderation philosophy, for one. Also physical location and “vibe”.

There are a certain set of bigoted and/or extremist instances that I would judge an instance for not defederating from. There’s a reason I’ve stuck with .world even through some turbulence. Some heinous shit shouldn’t be tolerated by anyone.

I hope Lemmy eventually picks up more features like polls. I miss natively embedding polls.

As an aside, check out [email protected] if you haven’t already.
