Welcome.

You’re going to go through a bit of a withdrawal, but you can still lurk there. I quit cold turkey, didn’t lurk so I would be tempted, and wasn’t banned yet. I’m sure I would have been.

I recommend that if your all page gets light or seems inactive, play with the settings. I keep it on hot and then check active, top 6 hours, and scaled in that order. Active is really about how active the comment is, so it stays pretty consistent.

This is a much better place if you’re not conservative. We do have some bots and trolls, but they’re not a ton. They tend to do weekends. If you feel like someone is picking on you, that’s them. Just leave one comment at most, downvote and move on. Just like on reddit.

Dude, it’s not that deep. Uber has a rapey problem and they figured out that this is the cheapest way to handle it.

Apparently camel pageants find camel humps more pleasing when they’re plump.

There are ways to transfer your settings, but I think that’s it. If you’re already there, I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

They have such a large proportion of lemmy, that’s how they can control the front page. If you get friends to join, make sure they try either another instance or maybe piefed? That way, they won’t have as much power. Try to post to other instance communities, regardless of what instance you’re on.

You probably won’t have any issues with the admin, I was watching them carefully when I was there because I they were acting wild from the get go. They were deleting my posts days later for some reason? That admin is still there. I love sh.itjust.works, but I want to try piefed.

I’m saying that competitiveness usually also comes from fear.

My point was that it’s a negative sum game, we are all competing with each other in an unhealthy manner, in which we are all poorer collectively as a result.

100% agree

Isn’t competition in the US just another way of fearing being a less than person? I’ve known healthy competitors that just compete with themselves, but it’s rare.

It’s probably somehow a dick move on his part, like flood the zone is for the media. If the republicans are uncomfortable, they’re less likely to talk back, maybe?

What?

One female White House official observed wryly: “All the boys have them.” Another added: “It’s hysterical because everybody’s afraid not to wear them.”

Edit: The more I think about this, the more I love it. All of the republicans are probably in ill-fitting shoes and very uncomfortable. Noice.

I check the sidewalk, lol

Are you talking about the leadership? Cuz democrats aren’t a monolith.

Hey bike riders and scooter riders who use the wrong way to go down the street, I do not look both ways when backing out of the building driveway. Be aware.

Or the ghost in the window.

The key word is avoid, I still go to these places. Also, we don’t know who instances are ultimately ran by. Having said that, still lemmy is way better than reddit which I avoid almost completely. I can only come up with 4:

• LemmyWorld- They curate their front page and at the very least, have rogue admin
• ml - They have a trolling vibe and get angry easily
• hexbear - not federated with my instance
• maga - not federated

I’m okay with him not signing any bills.

This is all BS, there are no weapons of mass destruction.

It seems more like they’re backing Israel.

Judging by how much they’re trying to cover it up, trump violently raped a 13 year old girl.

Why aren’t they suing AI then?
