Reptiles love heat, and will outlive most species in the impending climate disaster, the alligators of the American South are benefitting from climate change rn

The powermods just demonstrated they can only survive without their precious powertrip for 2 days TOPS, most of our mods are passionate pioneers but in the long term we might also have the powermod problem faced on pretty much every site except Wikipedia’s gigachads and RationalWiki’s democratically-elected mod team. But even then, simply defedding your instance from the ones they powertrip on should quarantine them, and it also helps that since we’re nonprofit they have no boots to lick.

I REALLY don’t want us to bully kids to the point of suicide for using Reddit.

And I dread the day that c/atheism becomes just another embarrassing circlejerk dedicated entirely to bashing believers and blaming all current problems on their overall existence.

One month into my home instance’s existence (lemmy.world) and we’ve already had our inaugural hack and a few technical growing pains that broke several mobile apps for days

Same, Lemmy just seems less addictive but at the same time more enjoyable, with (relatively) friendly users and the ability to simply blacklist the posters and communities you don’t like from your feed, instead of having to lose brain cells scrolling past screeds calling parents “breeders” or cars “pedestrian crushers” that clearly indicate a lack of contact with monocot plants in the Poaceae family.

Because they can’t bear to touch grass for more than 2 days and can’t live without their power trip

On Mastodon I’ve already got an alt account on techhub.social; on lemmy I prefer sopuli.xyz, lemmy.ml sucks

I like the customizable LEDs on my razer mouse mat, except when my PC (2021 15.6-inch razer laptop) decides that since I just went 6 hours without installing what are now almost daily win10 patches, it’s time to fuck up my drivers- and then it exits sleep mode despite the lid being closed and there being nothing wrong with my power settings, causing my fans to jet-engine, the logo led thing to come on and the mouse mat to shine brighter than a sun with its default color-cycle thing. And for bonus points, sometimes it even tries to address the problem by actually auto-updating at the time I told it to (1 AM or something), so I get startled by the “du dun, duh dun doooooo” which always seems louder at night.

And I dare not switch to linux, as razer laptops are not a common laptop choice and therefore it’s unclear how I’d be able to keep all its complicated and already-buggy drivers and proprietary software up to date so they don’t make it overheat within the first week, especially since the odds of me finding any help online for converting such an exotic rig to ubuntu are minimal to none.

I don’t care, I left that site for a reason

And lemmy.world’s c/atheism isn’t as big of a “religious people bad reee” circlejerk as r/atheism, it seems a lot more nuanced in its criticisms of religion and mostly takes the “love the non-forceful believer, hate the belief” approach. I really don’t want to see that change, the neckbearded assholes on its original reddit version are a big reason why we’re hated. I also appreciate lemmy.ml and lemmygrad being considered laughingstocks for their tankieness, as opposed to everyone who dares criticize them for that being downvoted to oblivion and screeched at by wealthy 13-year-old Americans who just discovered politics and think they’re communist just because they say “comrade” every 5 seconds, know 2 russian words (both of which are obscenities) and “bravely” blasted the soviet anthem in class and then crying on reddit about how they got bullied for telling that one kid of ukrainian descent about how their great-grandparents were time traveling slave owners who deserved it.

The split instance thing is actually great, if you don’t like a site that’s fedded with lemmy.world then you can just find one that blocks it- or make one yourself and put your communities there.

One of us, one of us

Mario and Smash Bros (millenials grew up with those, they’re currently 30-40) will be the new bingo

We should spread out across it, if the lemmy.world hack and the fact that its admins are even flirting with the idea of fedding with threads are any indication

Good, other governments should be doing this. (But even if they use threads instead, mastodon users’ll see their updates anyway if mastodon feds with it)
