Summer particularly loves sticks.
This beach is the mother lode of sticks.

Banned from lemmy.ml for suggesting spam was Russia
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.

I stopped secret santa after 2 years in a row of not getting a gift. People would sign up to get free stuff essentially and never send out anything. Kinda ruined it for me to be reminded that people are generally shitty

I miss the reddit secret Santa :(
I was in it every year till the very end lol
While I was running errands today my husband called.
He said that he knows how busy I've been and that while I'm visiting my daughter who just got home from the hospital he would take Summer for an adventure. He said that he didn't really feel up to it but need to push forward anyway.
I had to think fast.
Especially since I happened to be picking up the antibiotics to treat the infection that is one of the reasons he feels less than energetic.
I asked them to wait and said if you two go without me I will be sad so I will head home and we can go together.
That's exactly what we did.
Slow and steady was our game plan.
It worked.
Fun was had by all.
The photos are in adventure order from start to finish.
Come on along.

@catsalad Perfect name for a vibecoded OS. 🤣
@tapbots hello are you going to update Ivory with iPhone Duo support soon?
@p_darby Not soon, but yes. We are in the process of rebuilding Ivory from the ground up and it will support the Duo.

I mean, what do you expect from an explicitly (m)arxist-(l)eninist instance. Their entire religion is "west bad, russia and china literally the best" and censoring any wrongthink. And yet there you are implying Russia is behind a bad thing. Of course they'd take action against you.
Imo fediverse projects really need to federate instance rules. Just include them in the instance actor (if they aren't already) like you'd do with a community, then use them if available.

@ai6yr @EugestShirley I found the Adventist pin with a globe...but it still has their three-trumpet element. It's a more modern cartoon of the Earth, blue seas, green continents. I think that's what Google was sending us after.
@W6KME @EugestShirley LOL, looks like this will remain a mystery, then! At least, for now.

The main problem are authoritarians, regardless of flavor. I do not know what you are all about here. Just because we are in the pretty unique position of having a more active left-wing auth population, doesn’t mean we have to accept their bullshit. It doesn’t matter that they are on the left wing if they play it loose with human rights.
Maybe, but whatever the main problem is, that’s up for debate. Somebody who is anti-authoritarian but is a bigot is still somebody I’m going to have a problem with.

Trouble adding community from another server
I’m new here, fleeing reddit and it’s war on anonymity. Happy to be here!
I created my account on Lemmy.world, and yesterday learned how to subscribe to communities on other servers.
I was adding a few from Lemmy.ml, but hit a snag with a couple, using the ‘Privacy’ community as my example: when I hit ‘subscribe’ and enter ‘Lemmy.world’ as the instance to follow from, I just get a white page with ‘Server error’.
I left it 24hrs and tried again, and its still the same.
Any hints?

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/37870004
reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.
