I don’t think it’s wrong to recreate a beloved community, and I think it makes sense to also populate it with content. I just think that posting a copy of Reddit is a problem, and automated posts too often are also not good. At that point you’re trying to force the community into existence rather than having it be organic. I think it’s okay to boost the community a bit, but not to try to make Lemmy the new Reddit.
I will say that Lemmy in general seems very Reddit-like, which is what causes people to try to make Lemmy the new Reddit, so I’m not surprised that people are just trying to migrate subreddits to communities here. I think Lemmy needs a bit more of an identity to avoid that.
My godmother’s oldest daughter had a very specific idea of what her wedding needed to be, and what it needed to cost (obviously, a lot). But she was also cheap. So I go for the tux fitting because she decided I’m going to be in the groom’s wedding party. The tux felt like it was made of cardboard, the pink pocket square and tie looked like a pretty pink that had been sun faded and looked TERRIBLE. The shoes were ugly and uncomfortable. His kids are also part of both wedding parties. His kids were little monsters, and she decided that the wedding parties were going to do a choreographed number courtesy of his oldest daughter.
If you want dancers, pay for dancers. Instead, she lost her shit because we “didn’t put enough effort in” to the half-assed, last minute dance. The food was meh, the ceremony was far too long and stodgy, and the bride and groom didn’t spend any time with anyone (thank god). They were divorced within two years. It went about as I expected.
On the other hand, my stepsister’s wedding was held outdoors in the summer heat. They had a gorgeous, 15 minute ceremony done by one of their friends who was witty and funny. After that, we all went inside out of the heat into the air conditioned hall and everyone hung out and had a great time. The couple mingled with everyone despite being very in demand. None of it looked expensive, but was all tasteful. The food was good and the DJ was awesome. They are, unfortunately, also divorced, but lasted much longer because they knew what they wanted, didn’t have pretense, and knew each other well.
That assumption is predicated on law enforcement being willing to publish statistics on their actions. You can’t have this work without that. Considering how often SWAT teams are unnecessarily used and the military tactics they employ, the results will be unflattering to police departments.
Of course they don’t want their time wasted, but they won’t trade transparency and accountability for it.
Is it a good idea to enable "show bot accounts" on lemmy?
I have disabled it for myself but want to know what others have experienced.
The worst wedding you've ever been ? (kbin.social)
Personally, this one:...
The FBI has formed a national database to track and prevent 'swatting' (www.nbcnews.com)
Advances in technology allow prank callers to mask their voice, phone number or IP address, or make their false 911 calls sound more credible....
