AlligatorBlizzard,

We’re allowed to say that fash should kill themselves? I like it here.

AlligatorBlizzard,

It looks like you've successfully gotten it to appear, I can search "tarot" on the Jeroba app and it comes up. Try that if you're using Jeroba, if you're just using the mobile sh.itjust.works site you do need to select "All" before searching, and it's showing up for me.

AlligatorBlizzard,

Other than a few people who work for Reddit, basically everyone was blindsided by Reddit doing the API thing with such short notice. There's all of like two people developing Lemmy, one also is responsible for the Jeroba app and I think the lemmy.ml instance, and thousands of people just showed up and started trying to use various instances including having so many people sign up for Lemmy.ml it had stability issues. Apparently Reddit managed to hug itself to death during the Digg Exodus, it's not a big surprise it's happening here too and I think Reddit was a bit bigger than Lemmy when shit hit the fan on the previous platforms. There's some growing pains and some problems to work though, but the big ones like the scrolling thing will likely be solved fairly quickly.

AlligatorBlizzard,

I'm someone who buys the ugliest luggage I can so that nobody can mistake my bag for anyone else's... and I think this might be going too far.

AlligatorBlizzard,

We've got competence over here on sh.itjust.works, the guy running the instance apparently does something similar for his day job.

But these three are all terrible suggestions because of the situation of Beehaw defederating from the other two. If you pick one, some of the Lemmings (lol) on another instance won't be able to interact.

AlligatorBlizzard,

Could we maybe get Cory Doctorow (and is he worth getting, I don't actually know much about him as a person?), in all of this I saw his essay on TikTok's enshitification getting passed around quite a bit, also he actually knows what the fediverse is.

AlligatorBlizzard,

John Oliver goblin porn

Okay wait seriously? What the heck is going on over on r/dndmemes, is it seriously John Oliver goblin porn?

AlligatorBlizzard,

... can one of the AI art sites make that? Actually, on second thought, please don't, that would be weird in a bad way. Although if an AI art site can make goblin porn, someone could make a bot that just posts AI goblin porn and have an endless stream of original content...

AlligatorBlizzard,

Unfortunately for me and OP and a bunch of us, the one that could be described as thriving is the one on Beehaw and they defederated sh.it and world. But now we're in the situation of that "one more competing standard" XKCD comic and that also isn't really beneficial.

What do you think of subreddits protesting with rule changes (e.g., only allowing John Oliver)?

A ton of moderators have been making changes to their subreddits' rules (e.g., only allowing certain posts, going NSFW, loosening rules a ton) to protest without getting kicked out. Do you think this strategy of turning a subreddit into shitposts is effective or not?...

AlligatorBlizzard,

He has a TV show called Last Week Tonight that's currently on hiatus due to the writer's strike. There's videos from the show on YouTube and despite the name of the show most of them still should be fairly relevant.

AlligatorBlizzard,

I appreciate the knot theory and respect the high effort shitposting.

AlligatorBlizzard,

My dad apparently used to feed me hot picante sauce as an infant, and now somehow I'm the only one in the family who has relatively normal taste buds.

AlligatorBlizzard,

Apparently you used to be able to give mod status to any random redditor without them having to accept it, so even if he was made mod it doesn't actually mean much. Fuck Spez though.

AlligatorBlizzard,

Flavor Ice too, and I'm taking a pink.

Fun fact, Flavor Ice is the same company behind Flavor Aid, the drink mix that was actually used at Jonestown because the cult was broke!

Keith Ellison co-authors letter to Target CEO after Pride-related harassment (www.kare11.com)

Does anyone else find this kinda weird? I'm not against it at all, and it's kinda funny to see a bunch of AGs using Target's excuse to pull the merchandise as a reason to weigh in... but everyone gets that it was an excuse, right? Initially the communication to the stores was using the excuse that they "wanted to sell more...

POLL RESULTS: NSFW Content is FULLY PERMITTED, but must be tagged and blurred. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Content warnings should also be added to the title in brackets. Example: [penis] or: [explicit description of sex]. Non-sexualized breasts of any gender are not considered...

AlligatorBlizzard,

So who is going to take one for the team and start fucking cakes?

AlligatorBlizzard,

Has anyone made a nottheonion community on Lemmy yet?

AlligatorBlizzard,

LOL I learned about the links crashing the app the hard way. But I'm currently on a huge instance and all three show up in my search, thanks.

AlligatorBlizzard,

Are you going over to their instance and trying to post through that? That's not how this works. Take note of which instance you're currently on though. The best metaphor I've seen is that this is kinda like email and you've got a Gmail account and you're trying to email someone with a Hotmail account, you don't go to Hotmail, you go through your Gmail account.

Assuming you're on mobile, go back to the sh.itjust.works main page, press the menu icon on the right, select 'communities', under where it says "list of communities" select 'all', then search worldnews. There's several options, select the one that's on the right instance, and now you should be viewing the community while still on the shit just works instance. If you think you'd like to come back to that community in the future, there's a subscribe option in the sidebar menu. This won't work with all communities, but it should work with most of the larger ones (you'll want to copy and paste something like !worldnews in the search bar instead, it's a bit finicky on mobile though).

AlligatorBlizzard,

The show is currently on hiatus due to the writer's strike, but I wouldn't be surprised if he at least mentions it, he's already tweeted about Reddit's John Oliver sexyposting and gave them more content to post.
