@SeatBeeSate So what you're saying is you're tired of crappy conversations.

lazy, in How do I remove sticker residue from glass containers?

razor blade or other sharp scraping tool works great. Alternatively, you can try something like GooGone, but I have had mixed results there.

Years ago at one job we used to use a combination of a razor scraper and Goof Off and it worked well. It was on pricing stickers on metal painted with enamel, and as long as you didn't dig into it and just worked it loose it would come clean. Goof Off is a harsher chemical than Goo Gone (I think toluene or some mixture) so not the best for long term exposure, but that was then and we had some ventilation. I also think the product sold now like so many might be more diluted and not the original.

Olive oil on the other hand works surprisingly well if it can get to the adhesive.

Well I had successfully avoided it until this thread lol.

Soak in soapy water and scrub.

Goo gone might be a more effective solution than dish soap, but it’s going to take effort either way.

My dude, social media is today's bathroom stall. What else are we to talk about other than the duece left behind.

Proper bowel movement is important though

ChanchoManco, in Can we have one day without talking about poop?

I mean if we could get 3 days without pooping I guess we can stop taking about it for a day.
In all seriousness it'll fade away as all memes does, give it time.

Rottcodd, in Subscribing to the same magazines/communities on Kbin and Lemmy?
@Rottcodd@kbin.social avatar

You don't have to do anything. You can subscribe to as many or as few of them as you want. Yeah - it's a bit cumbersome, but the functionality already exists to search for a community name (like "pcgaming") and get links to all of the communities with that name from all of the federated instances, and then you can just run down the list and click on the link on each one to subscribe to it, and you're done.

When you open your subscription feed, you'll get the posts from all of them, and in fact you'll have to look at the url on a specific one to even know which specific instance it's on, since they'll all look and act the same on your feed.

And no - there aren't any "official" communities, and that's by design, and actually a lot of the point. When there are single, monolithic communities and they go bad, the users often have no recourse. That's when, on Reddit someone would go off and start a new sub and try to draw posters over there.

But here, the damage that assholes and idiots can do is limited by the fact that the content is already spread over multiple communities, and you can avoid the bad ones just by unsubscribing or blocking them, and all the rest of the content will still be there on your feed.

You don’t have to subscribe to all of them, just subscribe to the ones that give you the vibe you like.

There’s no such thing as “official” communities, because every instance could potentially be the next big thing, and every instance could potentially disappear tomorrow. That’s sort of annoying for people who just want one good community, but it’s one of the strengths of the fediverse. Some people will really like one instance and some people will hate it. Unlike with reddit where there’s only one /r/books, there’s as many as we have instances and people can go where they like and avoid where they hate.

I do think that if Redditors (like me) arrive in waves and continue to set the tone, we will see pressure on front-end developers to figure out a way to conflate identically named communities in the end-user UI. It would take federation in a slightly different direction than expected, but it provides resiliency in its own way. For instance if a large instance supplies 50% of the "tech" articles and defederates or collapses, users still get 50% of the experience with no additional effort. I'm sure there are knock-on effects I'm ignoring, though.

zhaosima,

I could imagine something similar to reddit's multisubreddit feature, whereas in this case it's different magazines/communities from different instances or even services.

myke_tuna,
@myke_tuna@kbin.social avatar

I think a possible way forward for this that won't necessarily affect federation directly is to allow a user to combine different subscriptions into a custom "list" or custom "magazine"/"community". Then on the user end, it looks like 1 combined feed, but in the back end, it's still just a bunch of federated communities.

wjrii,
@wjrii@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, I don't think any changes to the back-end or to Activitypub would be needed. If something were to come around, I think it would be on the UI side, an app or a change to the web front-end of kbin or lemmy that allows custom "multireddits," or simple collapse of identically named comms/mags. I would even say it should be an option, not a standard behavior.

You can subscribe to all of them if you wish, you can subscribe to only one if you wish. One of the communities might have more members, another community’s members might be friendlier or more appealing to you.

You have the choice.
