Going through my list made me realise that I don’t have favourite episodes; I have favourite scenes 😅
Anyway, here are mine:
-
86 Part 2 Episode 12 - You know which scene I’m referring to
-
Umamusume Season 2 Episode 13 - The greatest
spoiler for Umamusume Season 2
comeback
of all time
- Medalist Season 2 Episode 3 - Would have been my top sports scene if not for Umamusume
May not be considered masterpieces by most, but they are masterpieces to me:
- Gundam SEED Episode 33 (of the remastered version) - Best
spoiler for Gundam SEED
entrance
of all time
- Sword Art Online Episode 9 - Most hype for its time
Too hard for me to rewatch, but I’d consider them masterpieces:
-
DanDaDan Episode 7 - You know which episode I’m talking about
-
+1 for Violet Evergarden Episode 10 - You know which episode I’m talking about
And of course
- Oshi no Ko Episode 1
Notable exclusions for having too many standout episodes:
- Gundam: Witch from Mercury
- One Punch Man Season 1
- Frieren

And with masterpiece I just mean whatever episodes come to mind that I like to rewatch on their own.
honourable mention: Aria the Crepuscolo (a short film so doesn’t count but it feels like a big Alice + Athena episode full of some of my favorite moments)
Surprising: I can’t think of a single Hidamari Sketch episode above the rest of them.
@ai6yr or use at home during summer PSPS weather
@bbdd333 Yes, exactly what I was thinking. On a personal scale for sure, but is this something you could help a neighborhood with, for example.

Oh, so it seems that Simbarashe Kundizeza *didn't* use #AI to write his Caine Prize-winning story after all.
I would hope we will now see some kind of apology from @vauhinivara.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy, who started this whole thing.

@ai6yr hahahahaha yeah well i think if you have your own masto instance - you’re probably already on it.
also the folk on these cards have most of us on one list or another
@paperposts Oh, as a class we are mostly of desire to actively eliminate among a set of those folks, for sure (ie the Stephen Miller aligned folks). Then there are the others who prefer us to just be good little worker slaves, and the others who consider mere humans worthless...
@paperposts Like 'em, but I do wonder if buying these gets you put on a d*mestic t*rror*st list of some sort, lol.
@ai6yr Can one get put on lists twice? 😉 🤭 @paperposts
time for a wilkins coffee (i want to survive another day)

@ai6yr does hooters still exist?
(have known a few really old guys who were enthusiastic fans of that place and always cringed if they mentioned it, because of the misogyny that represents)
You're efforts and hard work were successful because you've created something quite lovely. Beautiful .
@TrueNorthSpice thanks 😊 just gotta keep at it until the vision matches reality! not too much more to go!
A federal judge orders a temporary halt to any work at a DC public golf course that President Trump's wants to redevelop into a world class venue. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.289401/gov.uscourts.dcd.289401.159.0_1.pdf
Appreciate you!
Now, let's default to rejecting the baby-king's framing by default. Not "world class", or "redevelop". Rather "bulldoze and chainsaw toward his own opaque ends".

Fediverse
Lemmy is copying the worst feature that ruined Reddit
I’m splitting this into two parts. First identifying the issue. And second my personal idea for a solution. I’m hoping for a lot of discussion so please be clear which part you are responding to.
Part 1: The problem
Reddit as a platform has many flaws. Obviously being a corporation means they’re terrible no matter what. But their platform is also flawed. Even if Reddit was 100% community owned the platform would still be flawed. The number one thing that is ruining Reddit are the tyrannical mods.
Each community on Reddit is a dictatorship. Whoever is arbitrarily in charge of a community has full unrestricted power to do whatever they want. The people who are actually creating the content and sharing it are totally at their whim. I understand that modding is a difficult and thankless job, but toxic mods ruined Reddit and Lemmy will do the same if it’s not addressed.
Lemmy’s answer is to allow people to create their own instances. Don’t like the mods at World? Go make your own Lemmy, with blackjack and hookers. But that’s not sufficient. It takes years to build up a community to have enough people for meaningful discussion to happen, and nearly all communities or instances fail. We absolutely need a way for mods to answer to the users.
Part 2: My solution
My solution is simple. Lemmy is built on the community. Everyone helps run it. Therefore mods are elected by the users who generate the highest upvoted content in a community.
Elections should happen on a schedule and, if a community is particularly upset with a mod, a vote of no confidence can be taken.
I understand that this will be a huge undertaking. But I truly believe that we need to fix this issue for Lemmy to thrive long term. Or else we’ll just end up with another Reddit.
What a misunderstanding of the nature of the Fediverse and how federation works. The point of federation is more to a connected social network while distributing infrastructure across volunteers.
I will have to be pedantic and note that r/Anarchism on Reddit does elect moderators, but not based on the criteria you suggest. In fact, it’s quite problematic as the skills of linking cool things/writing good posts and managing people like you would as a moderator are quite different skills! While I’ve never ran a Lemmy community or a subreddit, I did run a Discord server once as well as a traditional forum, and the social aspect was far harder than the technical aspect, and I did not know Discord as a platform at all when I did that. The community was a trainwreck as a result.
That being said, a democratically-run instance isn’t a bad idea. I agree with givesomefucks on lemmy.world in that the best way to go about this is to have an instance with that kind of rule set. In fact, there are Mastodon instances that are cooperatives like social.coop and cosocial.ca that could be looked at for inspiration for a Lemmy cooperative, which is what it sounds like you’re looking for to some extent. I think in practice it’d probably look like a very scaled down version of Usenet’s Big 8 Board.
What’s going on here? It was just a picture of the Moon. . . . 🤔
@superball@norcal.social rare moon lightning
@bbdd333 I wonder how loud the pump is....
I actually have all the parts to build one of these, lol. I picked up a free, unused "Breg Polar Care Wave" from a "clearing out a house sale" (actually a friend's house, he and his family moved and they just had an estate company purge everything). ; It's basically a circulator for ice water... I didn't know what I'd do with it, but... this is an idea.
