Those who lie and justify their lies, either with or without more lies.

That doesn’t have to be a bad thing. I commented on posts that were weeks old or a month old. Reddit had this bad habit that everything older than 30 minutes was irrelevant already.

Sure, seeing old posts doesn’t help to create an image of activity. But don’t think that something old is irrelevant, unless it’s a news post.

It depends. I’m on two instances, sopuli and beehaw. Both of them are really welcoming and cool, and I can interact with people without worrying about being bullied or harassed or attacked by random trolls just because they don’t like what I say (and trust me, suffering those actions while being neurodivergent is way worse than suffering those actions while being neurotypical).

But I think that more than 70% of the content I see comes from one single instance. Excluding beehaw (they defederated that other instance, and I agree with that), I think that sopuli also has similar communities that are like abandoned or with low amount of content. That’s something I don’t like.

It depends on your struggles. In my case, medication is not enough to deal with executive dysfunction, and that’s why I’m waiting for therapy.

Untreated ADHD can come with depression in the long run, and it’ll be harder to treat, because instead of one issue, you have two issues.

The thing is that I don’t have those issues on Lemmy, because I usually browse by /local, both on this server and on beehaw. But I had to block lemmy.world with my user on Kbin due to that problem you were pointing out. And miraculously, I can see content from Kbin, lemmy.ml, blahaj, beehaw sopuli, and so on, because there is no way to browse only local content on Kbin as it can be done on Lemmy.

Prove it, because I only see US-centric posts while browsing /all.

And no, America is not the US.

It should be my fault, yes. Instead of going to a pharmacy, I prefer to buy random stuff from a random stranger.

Exterminate / Extinguish - once they have good amount of users, they can start crippling the other side

That’s users’ fault. I don’t want to disrespect anybody, that’s not my intention, but if users are stupid enough to listen to the songs of the Sirens, that’s not Sirens’ fault, but users’ fault.

You say that defederating is the only way to prevent EEE. But defederating doesn’t prevent people to move to Threads, doesn’t prevent people to listen to the songs of the Sirens. It only prevents people to see the Sirens.

Some instances removed the downvote button. And I think it’s a good decision, personally speaking. If you like it, you upvote it. If you don’t like it, move on. Less toxicity, and less emotional damage when someone has rejection sensitiveness.

When I joined Lemmy one year and some months ago (the instance I’m talking from), this wasn’t a desert, but this wasn’t a living place either. Maybe I didn’t subscribe to some communities, but I could see two or three new posts per day, with a couple of comments in the best case scenario. I didn’t do my part either as much as I’m doing it now.

But now, between holding poop for 3 days, or eating beans, or the abundance of users on every instance, this is a neverending party, and I’m happy. I’m still not doing my part posting, but I comment very often. And I even have one account on two instances each (is that correctly said?).

With correct mods, with wholesome admins and with polite users, even disagreeing, these places will be forever my virtual home.

That Reddit died before this new Reddit was born. That Reddit was, in fact, the best. This Reddit, fuck it.

Now that I’m more aware about federation things and more servers appear in the wild, maybe I’ll change to a smaller one too. But I’m too lazy, and I’ve already changed my first instance to mstdn.social a year ago.

Like this one?

A death match between the presidents / prime ministers of the rival countries. The country of the winner of that match will win the war, and the country of the loser has to deal with the following consequences.

Don’t forget karma removed, where your comments will be invisible to the algorithm and you seem to talk to an empty wall, while one liners and easy jokes are at the top.

At this point, I’m still wondering why nobody is fixing those damn windows so people can’t fall out of them so easily.

I’m on mstdn.social. The admin is really cool, and the server is big enough to my liking.

This instance is not big enough for the two of us.

Those are antiservers, built with antihardware, in an antimatter universe.
