- Comment on How abnormal is it for a mother to be her son a fleshlight for his 18th birthday? 6 days ago:
It’s certainly abnormal.
But abnormal doesn’t mean bad. At all.I actually think it’s a thoughtful honest appropriate gift. That kind of thing should be more common.
- Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 6 days ago:
Agreed.
Until people started following hashtags. Then they were trying to be about more than just people, and doing it poorly. Kind of like wanting to subscribe to people on Lemmy. That’s not what it’s for, and just shouldn’t be an option, so people know that. - Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 6 days ago:
They really aren’t.
They’re a user created workaround, attempting to fix the structure-less, findability problem. Twitter embraced and officially incorporated them, because they had no better solution that wasn’t completely rebuilding the entire system. They rightly new everybody would hate that. - Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 6 days ago:
Yes exactly! It’s just like Twitter or Blusky. It’s 99.3% people just shouting into the void, without form or structure. You’re not confused.
- Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 6 days ago:
also if it uses a common input name (which it would because it’s the same Lemmy software) then your webbrowser would suggest/autocomplete it
That’s exactly the local software I’m talking about! Now we’re on the same page.

The All feed is for All. If you don’t want All don’t use All.
It’s designed as a White List system, with subscriptions. You pick the things you want to see. You’re asking for a Black List system, where you see everything accept what you don’t want. That only works while things are small. As they grow, Black Lists become much larger, and more difficult to manage. When you get to the point where their are thousands of communities with tens of thousands of posts every second, they become useless.

You’d have manually enter your home instance on every site you visit. Super annoying. Not a solution.
- Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 6 days ago:
That would require some kind of local client side software.
- Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 6 days ago:
Now here’s the bigger issue. Lets say I can click a button, and now a home instance, and all its communities could be saved to a special drop down tab that replaces the local. Your instance is always the default, but the rest are alphabetically listed.
You mean choose a local view of a different server? That would require every instance to duplicate everything on every other instance. Not possible.
What makes Communick.News different from Lemmy.World?
It’s a paid instance. I pay a subscription fee to ensure to won’t die do to lack of resources.
The idea isn’t to centralize the instances. The idea is to theme them.
What benefit would themed instances have. You can’t follow an instance…
Oh! That’s what your trying to do! You want to be able to see some logical grouping of related communities, and follow that! Now I get it.Yah. That’s not the way to do that. The “MultiReddit” concept is what you want for that. A shareable list of related communities. That’ll work regardless of what instance they are hosted on.

Lemmy privacy isn’t a joke, because there isn’t any. It’s 100% public by design.
If you want to keep something private, don’t post it publicly online. - Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 1 week ago:
Use Mastodon. Lemmy is built around topics, not people.
- Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 1 week ago:
That’s exactly what the Local feed is for.
If you don’t want All, don’t use All Because All will give you All, not Local. If you want Local use Local. - Comment on ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Showunners Talk 32nd Century Setting And How The Ship Is Part Of The School 1 week ago:
It seems like doctors. 4 years of classes, 4 years of hands on residency in hospitals.
- Comment on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 | SDCC Surprise 1 week ago:
Most of that, yes. And it’s great

It really is some of the best Star Trek that’s been done.
- Comment on Where are all the successful "red cities"? 1 week ago:
I did think about them. Monaco too, is in a similar spot. And even our own Washington D.C. has a special status
- Comment on Where are all the successful "red cities"? 1 week ago:
States aren’t cities.
- Comment on What's the equivalent of rose coloured glasses for always seeing something in a negative perspective? 2 weeks ago:
Exactly
- Comment on What's the equivalent of rose coloured glasses for always seeing something in a negative perspective? 2 weeks ago:
Green tinted glasses would be the technical answer.
- Comment on Do movie actors or actress keep the skills they learned? Like no one would screw with Keanu after seeing all the John Wick films? And if they did would they just be fucked from the start? 2 weeks ago:
Fight choreography only works against someone who also knows the choreography. Then it’ll play out according to the choreography.
The real world doesn’t work that way.
Keanu does have extensive general firearms training though. So if he had a gun you’d likely be in trouble.
- Comment on What makes a fart dry vs wet? 2 weeks ago:
All farts are dry. If it’s wet, it’s known a shart.
As in a shit you thought was a fart. - Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
The software is free. The server to host on is not. All Fediverse instances cost money to run. Every user costs money. Requiring one time “donations” is kind of misleading. More than that, its in sustainable. I signed up at Communick, because they’re upfront about the annual subscription. That’s the only way the Fediverse can work without adds or sponsorships.
- Comment on What are you doing when you call someone, don't leave a voicemail or text, they call you back right away but you don't answer? 3 weeks ago:
You’ve never seen someone put their phone in their pocket or purse, without turning off the screen first?
I’ve seen lots of people do that. A couple times I pointed out why it’s not a good idea. But people who do it, just don’t seem to care. My mother has done this exact thing to me several times. She calls me back later, when she sees that I called her, wondering what I wanted. - Comment on What are you doing when you call someone, don't leave a voicemail or text, they call you back right away but you don't answer? 3 weeks ago:
But dialing with a silenced phone?

- Comment on 32, f. Are there any dating sites that are actually free and don't suddenly force me to pay to actually use the site? 4 weeks ago:
You can always find outliers. That doesn’t mean playing the loto isn’t useless.

I’m neither, for the recordAnd I neither said, nor acted like, she was telling the truth. Mearly pointing out that Rump is ignoring his own “intelligence”.
