Lived in the UK nearly 60 years, JWs are the only door to door religious folk I've known. They are coordinated, so If you talk too much sense you won't see them again. Probably had them knock under 10 times total at houses I've lived in. They are not ubiquitous or bothersome.
I start from the bottom. You can line up the buttons without needing to look in a mirror. I don't understand why anyone would start buttoning from the top. It's just less efficient. Explain your reasoning
I read The Verge's latest interview with Steve Huffman here and it seems as though the Reddit blackout is having little to no effect. It also seems as though the communities at large don't really care and will probably just use the official app or don't really know there are 3rd party ones. So it seems this will pass and be...
Agreed, couldn't care less about Reddit, the protest was a damp squib in most respects, Spez knew it would be business as usual Wednesday so just waited until it all blew over. Some are carrying on, they say mods may be forced out, if people had any sense they'd walk away from the place. We were slowly but surely being turned into product.
I feel like part of a mass breakup, where you sleep over a friend’s house and won’t/can’t stop talking about your ex. Everything you hate but will also miss. And then complaining because your friend doesn’t have the right kind of coffee. 🙂
I hope it's a lot less US centric, I know it's English language and that's expected to a degree but the overload of crass items from America documenting it's slow demise was destroying my head.
My ex from Norway mentioned how unusual it was that so many places and people here fly our flag (USA), so I was curious to hear what it's like for others here on the fediverse.
Here in the UK flags are rare, I don't think there is a single one in the entire village. I think people here on the whole, are intelligent enough to realise rallying behind a picture printed in a piece of cloth doesn't really say or achieve much. It's more something the ruling class encourage to distract you from their meddling in/with your life.
I mean, almost all social media has a learning curve but Lemmy is one that if you don't put in the effort you're not going to learn it and use it. It's not seamless to master....
Well I'm nearly 60, a Redditor from the Digg exodus days and I'm here. Not really sure wtf is going on but I'm sure over the next few weeks I'll get there. This is it now, I deleted everything else SM wise, everything gone. Just fed up with it all but I feel I need an outlet for my ideas and opinions!
I signed out of Reddit on the 12th and that was it for me. Unless people actually leave a boycott was/is an empty stunt and Spez knows a lot of people will stay regardless.
I used 3rd party apps exclusively for an ad free nicely curated experience. Without that, it’s a turkey of a site and gets worse each year.
OC Are there door to door religuous solicitors in the UK?
In the US we have Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses that do this; are there any similar in the UK and what kind of religion do they proselytize?
Folks who wear button up shirts: do you start buttoning from the top button or the bottom?

How much of an impact is the protest really having on Reddit?

Thank you, Lemmy! (Redditor refugee)

How common is it to fly your country's flag, and how is it seen by others?
My ex from Norway mentioned how unusual it was that so many places and people here fly our flag (USA), so I was curious to hear what it's like for others here on the fediverse.

Anyone else feel that Lemmy won't attract anyone not interested in learning new ways to do things?
