So does that mean it gets one more season before Netflix cancels it?

That is awesome. My only issue is that I’m 100% sure that I’d forget about it and end up lying down with it still on my head and breaking it. Seems like it’s mostly good for the club but I don’t see why you couldn’t occasionally wear it for the day with certain outfits.

This doctor outrage was easily one of the top dumbest fucking things to ever come out of the USA. And of course it was all the right wing conservative people lmao. It’s just one thing after the other with these people. If they’re not angry that kids are learning Arabic numerals in school, they’re busy choosing 1/4 pounder burgers over 1/3 pounder burgers. But the doctor thing is definitely one for the hall of fame.

Ugh. It was a really fun idea returning to this story like 30 years later with a new generation but do they really need to turn it into a franchise now? Fkn come on Hollywood.

Just took a look and it definitely seems like the kind of instance that I’m looking for. The only thing is, I’ve just recently come from another instance with downvotes disabled (Blahaj) and was wanting to get a look at Lemmy with all votes enabled. Honestly I wish that individual communities or instances could choose to have downvotes disabled without it effecting every other instance too. Sucks that it’s an all or nothing kind of deal.

By the way, just realised that I’m an absolute idiot that was looking at the wrong list and that lemmy.zip is in fact federated with hilariouschaos. I’m honestly getting tired of being blind or doing dumb things, I promise I’m not normally a stupid person but it’s like my brain isn’t working properly these days.

look like a girl, act like a lady, think like a man, work like a boss

Lmao holy shit. And it would be the South African side that does this 🤦‍♂️ I hate it here lol. The scary part is that this slogan had to have been seen by multiple people before it got posted on social media. And not one saw the problem.

Just dropped my phone and now half the screen is messed up and barely readable. Great. Guess that anything I save now is going to another cheap piece of shit phone that I dislike first, before it goes to anything worthwhile.

I honestly don’t think Arch is that bad or complicated. It’s just that you have to go into it knowing that you’re in for some reading, tinkering and following step by step instructions along the way. I’d start with something like Mint or Ubuntu for a first look for sure. But once you’re ready to learn a bit more about how the Linux system works and is put together, Arch would straight up be my first recommendation. Even if it’s something you play with on the side in a virtual machine, for me at least, starting on Arch was when my Linux experience went from clicking at things and copy pasting commands into the terminal to still copying and pasting commands lol, but actually learning why and how and what too.

Blaze rocks lol. Definitely one of the friendliest and most helpful people around here. Especially when you’re still a noob.

Thanks! It definitely does help. I’m looking for the fabled perfect (for me) instance lol. Somewhere that’s going to at least keep users protected from CSAM or other horrid things but that isn’t going to also be deciding for their users when it comes to non illegal content.

Sounds like either world or ee are the answer. So I’ll do a little more homework but probably end up signing up with world again.

Hey @LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al, I hope you don’t mind me summoning you here. You’re the one that inspired me to start looking around for a different instance so I want to ask, what’s the deal with lazysoci.al? Was it missing something for you that you get out of lemmy.world? And does lemmy.world federate with hilariouschaos?

I have always got good vibes from zip users and communities in the past. I see that one instance they de-federate from unfortunately is that hilariouschaos instance. One of the reasons I signed up here was to see the alt community there. That instance definitely gives me certain vibes though and it’s a pity that there’s a few communities on there of interest to me. But yeah, I’d like to find an instance that gets rid of illegal content and doesn’t allow straight bigotry under the guise of ‘free speech’ but I’d also like to be able to decide for myself sometimes. And block users or communities myself if they disagree with my politics or lifestyle.

Thanks very much for the help here. The links you shared are definitely going to be useful in helping me find what I’m looking for. This instance that I’m on right now is almost perfect for me so far, apart from the image hosting limitations.

You could create a Fediverse-critic community here

I wouldn’t go that far lol. It’s just interesting watching how people vote on certain posts and opinions. I’ll most likely still speak my mind regardless, it’ll just be one of those things that I know will be ‘controversial’ around here every time lol.

Thanks, I guess I’ll just try doing homework this time to find exactly what I’m looking for. An instance that just doesn’t do any de-federating whatsoever is also kinda scary because I don’t want CSAM and shit ending up in my feed. I also don’t want to end up cut off from places like Blåhaj because of admins not taking action over certain things.

So I need something more like world or ee. But without any limits on image uploading either because I’d rather find an instance that can be both message board and image host than look for some third party image host platform to use that may or may not work nicely with various apps.

My problem is not reading properly. Because I was taken by surprise by the no downvotes thing when I signed up on Blåhaj and I was taken by surprise here on lemm.ee with the 4 week wait and 500kb limit on file uploads. So basically I just need to do my homework and read properly.

Thought I’d just ask you here in this comment chain seeing as you’re pretty extensively well traveled in the Fediverse lol. What other good options are there for instances that don’t do a lot of de-federating (and give you the general ‘Reddit’ experience) but also aren’t completely unmoderated? I don’t want to end up somewhere that half of the Fediverse de-federates from for whatever reason. Is it just lemmy.world and lemm.ee?

That’s a fair point. So I guess the purpose that it actually serves is bookmarking and saving the page at the same time. I can definitely see the use in that actually.

The feddit.org interpretation of that law is debated

Sure but that doesn’t change that they interpreted it the way they did and now they’re enforcing that interpretation. Theoretically any instance could do whatever they want but in reality this instance did the thing that everyone worries about centralised platforms doing.

I get that you can leave links to your old profile and communities, you can also do that on forum sites and any other platform when you switch. I still don’t see any difference or benefit here. As an end user that just wants a place to shit post and isn’t trying to run a server or write code or whatever, the experience is the same, whether I’m trying different Lemmy instances or different centralised platforms. And it’ll be the same until I can take my online presence and all of its history, pack my bags and go elsewhere with it. Not sure how that would work though, I’m just spitballing here.

Anyway, I think this is probably a conversation that I’m gonna avoid and ignore in future here though. I get the sense that the only place to discuss certain aspects of the Fediverse without people getting angry or taking things personally is somewhere outside of the Fediverse. Because people are weird and defensive about it and make it part of their personality, which I think is the reason for at least 50% of the hate towards Bluesky.

Weird gimmick that I’ve literally never used or even ever considered using. There’s already this obscure thing that you can save articles and pages in for later called “bookmarks”.

Based on everything I’ve seen across DC adaptations, this kid could be DC’s answer to Spider-Man and he should’ve been pushed as such long ago. If they weren’t so busy making 90% Batman and Batman related content. Looking forward to seeing him get his own actual series, so we can all get to know him better.
