This is what Burn Out looks like. Image found on Twitter, created by Maxine Vee @Maxinevee

Background: I was in high school (public) and our school just got back from quarantine, and had everybody to take a mandatory covid test every week. Our teachers rounded us up and these people swabbed and tested us. We didn’t sign anything, we didn’t ask for this, we were just told to line up and do it....

@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they’re salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they’re trying to “fuck your entire site up” but I imagine it’s a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they’re creating, LMAO.

Lots of fresh content, small but rising communities, definitely a step in the good direction....

This is a useful feature on reddit. I don’t want to unsub or block a community or user, but a don’t want to keep seeing a particular post in my feed.

After years of reddit/twitter/facebook propping up fascism/bigotry with algorithms & bots I’m honestly surprised and relieved to be in an online space that clearly rejects their ideology....

Edit: It seems like there’s enough people that would prefer this didn’t happen for some pretty good reasons. For that reason, I’m not going to move forward with this idea....

Just a random thought I had. But, around 2010 I really enjoyed making how-to guides (you know the ones using hypercam to screen record, techno background songs, and using notepad to talk out steps). For some reason starting a lemmy instance and the whole process of customizing it, creating content, being on other lemmy...

But I just saw this happen....

Will taking a job in one sector set my career path...

Facebook is totally worthless now that they force content on you and fill 99% of your feed with it. But I still go there sometimes to view “memories” from earlier times when the site was a vibrant space, full of discussions with friends and family....

I did hear the news about youtube getting rid of adblocks. The first video that I click has an ad and then I refresh again the ads still appear. I turn off and on ublock origin just to make sure it’s working and it blocks the youtube ads. It happened to my dissable youtube shorts plugins as well. Btw I am using firefox.

I keep getting signed out of lemmy.world (in Jerboa and in a web browser). I tried resetting my password, reinstalling Jerboa, moving to my web browser, but I still have the same problem. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I just want to say old.lemmy.world is fantastic. However, old can have negative connotations. Can we declare that OLD be an acronym for Optimal Lemmy Delivery?

One of the things I like about Fediverse is you can always tell (most of the time, I guess) who is running a show on what instance and where from....

For context when I say Mainstream, I mean Reddit, FB, IG, Twitter, etc....

not that it’s bad or that the post is shit, but it’s just yeah nice post mate...

Hello guys, I need to take a break from Lemmy. Lately, I’ve become attached to it, a part of the community (which is probably good). Unfortunately, it triggers fear of missing out (FOMO) lately for me. Don’t get me wrong, Lemmy has become the most wonderful community on the Internet, but this time, I need a break from the...

Couldn’t find a community request community (awkward) but could we have a /c/ just for reddit drama? I think the people would like it.

Ok, imagine this, you are on reddit (say, a slow hobby focused subreddit), everybody there is nice and knowledgeable, and one day, the mods there announced that since there is not enough “content” on the sub, they are going to use a bot to repost content from 9gag in order to “bolster engagement” and “grow the...

I Still Hates How His Recommend Solutions Are Not For Everyone And He Banned me From The Matrix Rooms and the Forums As Well Why Should We Trust This Old Polar Bear Gezzer Who Can’t Even Be Nice To Beginners Oh Yeah Lets Recommend Using Graphine os on A Google Pixel And Let’s Ignore Debain/Ubuntu Based Distributions Because...
