Hey… thanks, brother

Pro-Tip: Decent Deal at Holts Right Now / Build Your Own Sampler (www.holts.com)

Not trying to spam, I have no affiliation with any particular vendor or brand. Needed a re-up on my ~$5 per stick stash so I could keep my hands off my Padrons and Casdaglis - this thing running at Holts is a pretty good deal where you can pick your own components to a sampler....

It used to make sense, like… people that need no provocation to go into something they won’t shut up about, or things like that. Lately it has just stopped being used in any way that actually makes the “Nobody:” part matter.

We need to be able to differentiate between NSFW and porn.

A boob, a butt, or even some violence like one might see on the news anyway, I’m not freaked out about all that and I don’t feel the need to hide it from those around me usually… that’s all fine fine, but I don’t want porn on my feed like at all....

Seriously… there are so many things considered occasionally NSFW. Curse words, nudity, violence, suicide, even on Reddit anything tobacco related. I am personally very tolerant of all content, but I have lines with both gore and porn that I just don’t want the content mixed in with my casual browsing. I wish everyone would just take it to lemmynsfw so I could filter it appropriately, but due to relaxed instance rules even a generally tame instance like kbin.social constantly has new specific groups for me to ban. Just today it has beenfurry cartoon porn, feet, celebs…

Reddit never got this right either, but it seems like such an easy problem to solve. There’s R-rated and there’s porn. Not sure if it’s a result of people being too prude or too loosey goosey, but it seems very obvious to me.

Scrolling “all” for increased exposure it’s like… news article, kitty cat, meme, anti-Reddit post, GAPING HOLES, puppy…

I don’t disagree - but just during this whole Ukraine / Russia thing I’ve found myself subscribing to some things where I’m likely to see footage from the field. To me this is just informational and in some ways important to see, despite the fact that it is difficult to take. Horrors of war and all that. That’s a normal part of my daily news consumption while someone in a dog costume getting railed in an elevator at a convention is uh… well it is what it is, and I don’t want it.

Hope this is okay - an all encompassing tobacco magazine for the Fediverse (kbin.social)

It seems in the boom of new groups during the blackout a lot of pages were created and abandoned. Since it’s hard to populate any one group here with the current user base I thought it might be useful to just have one tobacco-friendly group. Feel free to come on over and introduce yourself.

Finally! The generations are so sloppily and arbitrarily defined anyway. Yeah, there’s a difference between me at almost 40 and someone in college. There are some things I had more in common with “Gen-X” and some that I had more in common with “millennials,” but then they’d try to define my group as if they were a separate thing on the cusp between the two. Misses the point entirely, there may be tendencies based on age group but everyone’s somewhere on a spectrum of all that stuff.

There are people same age as me that I feel like I share more in common with toddlers (or alternately, geriatrics) than them despite that age similarity.

several subreddits are voting on the future of the community, but are currently losing to returning to normal (lemmy.world)

r/pics, gifs, among others are voting on whether to return to normal operation. As lots of people supporting the black out aren't using Reddit at the moment the voting is currently going in favour of returning to normal

This has been consensus across most of Reddit. Most people don’t care, and won’t care. So, those of us that do just need to be here making the best of it and not worrying about Reddit. Once there is comparable amounts of content in the Fediverse, people will end up joining for the same reason they joined Reddit.

I initially signed up for Reddit after I kept getting sent links to Reddit. It was just a place that had information I was interested in.

Right now, telling people to join because it will eventually be good and it’s ethically good doesn’t work because there’s not much here and most people are fine using commercial software.

However once there is a wealth of information here, say someone publishes a very good guide for self-hosting and you have a friend that wants to self-host a Plex server, you link them to a lemmy or kbin guide. They will naturally be compelled to join and ask questions if they have them.

It takes time. Just let those of us that are ideologically driven create content good enough that everyone else ends up coming for their own reasons.

we have "sub-lemmys" but what we are missing for lack of a better term is "dom-lemmys", hear me out

What we're really lacking on the ui end is a way to see groups of identical communities that are on different federated platforms. Hence the idea of a dom-lemmy. The way it would work is lets say you search for a cat community called "cats", there's at least dozens of them out there already. Instead it would return the cats...

You know, not EVERYTHING has to be discussed in a way that puts your interest in kink on display for the world 👀
