Going straight to Goodwin’s Law, this really does remind me of behavior from soldiers during WWII. I don’t know how anyone can do this to other human beings.
As someone that makes a living off of finding and stopping bots, I wish I had known about this project and subreddit. I would have liked to work alongside these folks.
If anyone reading this is in need of bot detection on the Fediverse please message me.
Apologies for the late reply. I’m open to help in either way, actually. It would be fun to contribute to a FOSS project that manages bots for the Fediverse or to answer questions for those already trying to mitigate their presence here.
So these are growing in the yard of my new home beside some beatroot and Potentilla indica. Can anyone confirm that they are edible currants and if so, when is the right time to pick them. They are currently red. Should I wait for them to turn black/purple?...
Nah, you have a red or pink variety here. They aren’t going to turn black or purple. It looks like you have a lot that are close or are ready for harvesting. Taste a few of the bigger, redder ones and you’ll get a sense what to look for. Try to trim off an entire cluster of ripe berries to save you some time and sanity too.
Truthfully, what I remember of the plant is that it is hard to control and the fruit aren’t that great. That said, I’ve never actually grown the plant so I cannot be for sure. If you enjoy it that’s all that matters.
Last week I was checking on one of my compost bins and noticed that there was a group of these mushrooms growing on a clump of composting leaves. Given the heat, I’m surprised to see them growing in the bin. Any help identifying them is most appreciated....
I took a break from work around 11AM which is strong the time that I found them.
I’m not sure if they dried up in the heat of the day, unfortunately. I put them back into the compost bin because I want as much fungal activity as possible. This particular bin is one of those enclosed, rollable units. It’s nice and humid inside.
You’re absolutely right. Often times it also didn’t feel like a conversation; rather, it was just a bunch of one liners. I’m also suspicious that there are a lot of bots commenting as well. It just didn’t feel organic. In any case, I have wondered about your point regarding the current size of the community and how it lends itself to a more intimate experience. I’m hoping that with growth we can keep that going. Do you think it’s possible?

Is it just me or did anyone else became a more avid poster since joining lemmy?
On reddit I was a lurker that posted like once or twice a year, but ever since joining lemmy I’ve started posting multiple times a day.
