@mako LinkedIn might be my actual least favorite place on the internet. It’s an absolute cesspool of hypercapitalist techbro garbage. Every time I log in I recoil so violently that it usually takes at least another month before I’m willing to try it again. So, good luck! 😂

I love the can opener bridge. You could never make me hate the can opener bridge. It's harsh if you defy its warnings, but it's fair and funny.

Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.

I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.

Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.

It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.

I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.

I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.

And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.

@tinker I've seen all of these! (I'm also one of the few weirdos that doesn't enjoy The Expanse even though I watched the entire thing just to be sure.)

I also recommend Sunshine. :)

I don’t believe it was the size either despite what many in the comments state. I believe it’s been several compounding factors. For me it’s karma and karma farming. People only do things for attention when they have reason to believe it will provide benefits for them. People do what they are allowed to do. When you go to an establishment where the cultures and rules are set people are unlikely to deviate. I couldn’t reasonably get upset at an establishment that requires certain attire, no loud voices, limited alcoholic beverages and believe I can and should do the opposite. If more subreddits operated like such then Reddit would be very different. Unfortunately, that doesn’t align with Reddits goals of content and users pretty much at any cost to make the money go up.

the “I also choose this guys dead wife” is what gave the site character

Okay, baby, here's the burner. Now, go get daddy a Charizard!

Years ago, there was an event at Cheltenham's posh theatre during the Lit Fester: Roger McGough, John Cooper-Clarke, and Benjamin Zephaniah.

Self + friend had spent the evening in Copperfields, the dodgy biker pub next to the churchyard in the centre, and rolled up full of beer and ceremonial chemicals to find the foyer filled with sensible people having sensible talking, who rather looked at the pair of us askance.

It was a fine gig, and I still think we were the only ones doing it right.

Schválně, který pořad se po normalizaci ČT zlikviduje jako první a proč to budou zrovna Reportéři.
