Content is key. And you are a large-scale provider, so many thanks! I know you’re just a regular person (although there is a non-zero chance you’re actually Obama) but we just appreciate you
The first truly viral Lemmy post, I believe. It was a thing to behold. Post over in !asklemmy from a guy asking how to not poop for three days but being extremely mysterious about the reasons why.
Did we ever find out why, in the end? Idk but I have chosen to enjoy the mystery.
I already lose track of whether this led directly to the bean craze or if the bean craze was unrelated, but they happened very close together!
Unfortunately seems like the original post has been deleted and now I am sad.
Like I said the OP seems to have been deleted although turns out you can still see the comments at old.lemmy.world/post/440073 which should give you a general idea. Bear in mind most people had been on Lemmy for just a few days at this point.
O my god, amazing! I wish someone would create an APP that you add the lemmy url to and it finds a way to store the page data and export it for retention. I hate i can’t keep amazing posts
I only hate Lemmy.ml or whatever its instance is cuz they banned me “for no reason”.
I think it was related to vaccuums, they wanted to clean up the place and thats hard to do when guys are jizzing in vaccuum s i guess…?
Edit: also, for all i know vacuums are manufactured in Malaysia (ML?) and the communist government “forced” their bloody hands on it. Still doesn’t make for a free and purely rational discussion forum.
I left because the moderation and administration are inconsistent. The rules were left too vague and one of the admins keeps removing random stuff according to different rules or new definitions of the rules. They are left so insanely vague so they can basically do what they want. Kinda icky to me. If I’m doing something wrong I wanna stop it. I was abused as a kid by a mother who loved to make up new stuff and new rules and judge me by them. Blame me for not following them when they only existed in her head.
Said admin acts the same way and I have absolutely no interest in engaging with that. I barely escaped hell before. I’m not going back.
Reminds me of Tildes honestly. Had some great discussions but the condescending loser assholes and the ruthless moderation by @deimos was insanely non-evenhanded ultimately and lost them a contributor who actually brought thoughtful if idiosyncratic views on things that always created abundant engagement. Ah, its just as well. I need fewer distractions and at least with Lemmy, theres lots of space (instance-permitting) to be me. Same reason why I like Lobste.rs: smart folks but way to harsh+judgemental and inflexible, like a computer program lol
I was banned citing rule 1 (no bigotry, racism, etc) for posting a meme about how modern cars are too big, too expensive, and send all your data to China.
Apparently because my meme implied China Bad.
I feel its almost like you all shoukld just stop presenting your OS bona fides unless its 1) solicited explicitly + 2) its explicitly relevant to the conversation even if 1) is not fulfilled
Tbh this rule hasn’t been an issue for me. I cite him for his quote on politics and I still respect a lot of the geniuses who work for him. I really don’t share his views, but ppl can be skilled and still suck with what they’re saying. I love PCs and the internet, but ppl will never be binary.
