As a 5’11 guy you’ve just made my day

That Napoleon was short

No wonder everything on the hivemind-that-must-not-be-named sounds and feels like it’s being regurgitated by the same people, from the low-effort memes to the armchair city planners, atheist circlejerks and very enlightened political/economic views.

And as for terraforming Mars, all we have to do is do what we’re doing here: Warm it with CO2 emissions. All it takes is a little atmospheric thickening to vaporize its glaciers of dry ice and already spawn a few surface brine lakes using its existing water table (the underground hypersaline ice partially melts each summer), then just get a bunch of comets to burn up in its atmosphere for the oceans and put an artificial magnetic field at its Lagrange point and turn all that atmospheric CO2 into oxygen with giant vats of cyanobacteria (which are what naturally terraformed Earth billions of years ago)

And we can terraform Venus using future tech we might develop to reverse climate change here, like giant orbital parasols, reflective dust and carbon capture

I was at first excited when he talked about Mars, but now that I know he can’t even run a social media platform I definitely wouldn’t wanna trust him with my life

I just re-created one of my favorite subreddits on sopuli.xyz, using my alt account on that instance as the mod account.

There are some with very specific purposes/nationalities (like lemmynsfw, lemmy.ca, and one Portuguese-only one for people from Portugal) that somewhat resemble the porn subs and the country-themed subreddits like r/canada and r/suddenlycaralho respectively.

Yeah, it’s not sustainable to just flock to one instance to the point of there being no real competition. Lemmy.world now hosts nearly 3 times as many user accounts as lemmy.ml- the second-largest instance and a much older one too, and has gotten big way too fast.

It seems that the images are stored on imgur

I’ve got an alt on sopuli.xyz

I hated it, I only just barely put up with the toxic community so I could still visit my favorite subs only (I used apollo so I could ignore the garbage that’d be recommended to us constantly). I used the app-pocalypse as an excuse to leave. Now I only lurk there for the ooh-la-la subs, but as more and more creators there have lately been moving to lemmynsfw I might not even need those subs for much longer.

The powermods just demonstrated they can only survive without their precious powertrip for 2 days TOPS, most of our mods are passionate pioneers but in the long term we might also have the powermod problem faced on pretty much every site except Wikipedia’s gigachads and RationalWiki’s democratically-elected mod team. But even then, simply defedding your instance from the ones they powertrip on should quarantine them, and it also helps that since we’re nonprofit they have no boots to lick.

I REALLY don’t want us to bully kids to the point of suicide for using Reddit.

And I dread the day that c/atheism becomes just another embarrassing circlejerk dedicated entirely to bashing believers and blaming all current problems on their overall existence.

One month into my home instance’s existence (lemmy.world) and we’ve already had our inaugural hack and a few technical growing pains that broke several mobile apps for days

Basically “when de revolushin happensh der gonna issue ush bridesh and lower dee age of conshent to shirteen”

Tankies are either:

• Blue-haired white college kids from high-income families going through the commie phase that many go through due to academia’s fascination with at least the theory of it and the fact that such students start out spending most of what little free time they have online

• The stereotypical basement-dwelling, probable-chomo neckbeards with BO who moderate large subreddits, unironically believe that work should be abolished and never socially matured past high school. Examples include Doreen Ford and awkwardtheturtle.

• Edgy American 13-year-olds from high-income families who just discovered politics and chose (their idea of) communism over nazism and unironically stan Putin because they think he’s fighting something something gay/pronouns (which totally aren’t despised in Ukraine too)- as well as many other free and fair governments like North Korea and the Chinese Communist Party.

And sealioning is a type of internet trolling where you repeatedly make incessant, bad-faith attempts to “just have a debate” and then ignoring all responses unread.

Instances are where the communities are hosted. Think of them like several different reddits with the subs spread out among them

DuckDuckGo

Same, I originally used Memmy but it’s really buggy, and ever since the lemmy.world hack it’s completely forgotten all of my subscriptions and blocks- so no home feed, and I still have to scroll past communities I find unbearable and that one terminally online self-promo spammer on c/atheism who keeps polluting it with links to his rather angry blog posts.

It’s very similar to Apollo
