I personally enjoy taking long walks. It doesn't matter if it's in the woods, on a bike trail, or just through town. There's something nice about just meandering and being alone with your thoughts while still being immersed in the outside world.
I don't feel like that's a fair comparison. Meat consumption has a lot of issues, but the consumer, at the end of the production chain, does not eat his steak with the mindset of "how much more can I make an animal suffer for the lulz, and can we take pliers to it first?". Mostly, they are apathetic or unaware. (Disclosure: I have reduced meat a lot myself but am not entirely out yet and I keep giving myself B12 deficiency.)
I'd compare with much higher in the production chain, the people who devised and enforce inhumane practices.
Honestly, it's mind-boggling how the top 1% have us believing their relentless greed is just the norm and that we're helpless to do anything about it. This is particularly noticeable on platforms like Reddit, where we, the users, are the real value creators and even volunteer our time....
So I've seen a few posts regarding news outlets calling the protests a failure, and I don't really think that's the case. The protests have clearly made an impact, especially if the Reddit CEO is willing to oust MODS to reopen subreddits. I truly believe that something has been jump started here on Lemmy, Kbin, and all of the...
Whether or not it’s was a failure depends on what you expected from it. Reddit was not going to change its mind. The investors demand more money and will continue to squeeze Reddit for ever dime the can. It wasn’t going to die overnight either.
What did happen is a non-trivial amount of users left and found the Fediverse. Apps are currently being developed to make it more accessible to your average user. The Fediverse will no longer be some obscure thing for a niche group. I think it was a huge success and will have long term repercussions for Reddit.
Anything put on the internet is forever. No one should be publicly posting anything with the expectation that they have any control of it after it goes out. If it’s not held by the server, there’s the way back machine or even just folks taking screenshots.
Whether is Lemmy, federated, corporate owned, or even your own private site - nothing you put on the internet is ever truly private. If you have a public profile someone can access it and copy it.
The only things I'll say that I have an expectation of privacy is health related, everything else I fully expect someone else to read, copy, and multiply.
I think there should be, but I never expect there to be. Did people's parents not teach them about putting things on the internet they didn't want shared?
As a very early backer (2015), I still come back to the game once a year hoping that it is finally in a playable state, only to leave disappointed.
My current rig of an i7/3080ti/32gbRAM/NVMe had issues with walking around the station with a decent frame rate; after spending 20 minutes of trying to get my ship out of storage (not going to list the countless bugs there), I finally took off and was excited to leave orbit and fly around space…
Unfortunately my ship had another idea; it clipped me out of the captains seat and into high orbit; my ship kept flying its trajectory, while I slowly tumbled back into the planets gravity.
I hope that by 2035 we might see a stable beta release.
Not sure if I agree with him (or rather, pretty sure I disagree). The protest was very successful for me - it got me off the site, and I have no plans of going back, even if it fully opens and goes back to "normal". In my case, reddit is not winning, it completely lost. I see more people like me around here every day and it makes me happy. Can't remember lat time reddit made me happy, so I'm enjoying the change, even if it comes with a fair bit of jank.
For real though, since I joined Lemmy (last Friday, 4 days into blackout) I probably spend as much daily time here as I spent there before blackout 😅 but I'm enjoying it !
this is such a disgusting cake. the girl side is all fancy and decorative but the boys side is so bland. but the boys side is themed after an actual job and the girls side is just themed after looking pretty. its unfair on both sides because boy children aren't allowed to have anything fancy, and are only seen as what they can offer to society as opposed to being people in and of themselves, while girl children are seen as only for being pretty and nobody expects them to be useful for anything. also its an ugly fucking cake. if you google "gender reveal cake" you can see tons of prettier and tastier looking cakes. very soothing pastel colors. fuck this stupid ass cake, i hope the people who ate it have their children taken away by child protective services
A lot of us come from reddit, so we're naturally inclined to want a reddit-like platform. However, it occurred to me that the reddit format makes little sense for the fediverse....
The issue with tags is who's going to moderate them.
The reddit model has an owner responsible for each community. Tags don't, and as such the moderation responsibility over everything falls on server administrators.
The ideal format for a fediverse reddit-like would be a cross between twitter and reddit: a website where if you want to post about a cat, you make your post and tag it with the appropriate tags. This could include "cats," "aww," and "cute." This post is automatically aggregated into instantly-generated "cats," "aww," and "cute" communities.
Absolutely not.
I don't know why people are obsessed with recreating reddit, but I think it sucked and it's not a good thing to have this kind of massive, centralized communities, where all posts in the X category go there.
On the contrary I think smaller communities are just as dope as the big ones. Not everyone wants to participate in a big community with threads filled with tens of thousands of comments, some very much enjoy smaller ones where they actually get to interact and bond with a smaller amount of people.
Besides those kind of massive communities recreate one of the biggest problems that reddit had and still has: power-hungry, power-tripping mods. No, thank you. I don't want tankies to usurp leftist communities again, leaving those who oppose them with little to no alternatives.
... Are you guys for real? Since when is Reddit this centralized heaven you describe? You have r/news and r/worldnews. You have r/funny, r/memes and r/funnymemes and probably dozens of others I don't even know about. NSFW subreddits are like on another level where every single NSFW category has like at very least 5 subreddits and people who post there crosspost constantly.
And every single other platform for commuities has the same situation - on Facebook you could have found groups NHL, NHL fans, NHL 4 life and like ten other NHL communities with duplicated names.
And yet when we come to Fediverse, the BIGGEST F*CKIN ISSUE of the entire platform is that there is fediverse@lemmy.ml and fediverse@lemmy.world
What is something simple that you do to decompress and keep yourself centered?
I personally enjoy taking long walks. It doesn't matter if it's in the woods, on a bike trail, or just through town. There's something nice about just meandering and being alone with your thoughts while still being immersed in the outside world.

Mastodon thinks Lemmy’s privacy stinks. What say you? (raddle.me)
Federated services have always had privacy issues but I expected Lemmy would have the fewest, but it's visibly worse for privacy than even Reddit....

Don't delete your Reddit account
