Feudalism was worse, and despotism was even worse than that.

My beloved sibling, what are you even talking about right now? I’ve never defended an authoritarian regime in my life. Or New York, for that matter.

I can concede that I was a little bit shitty.

it’s not called “unserious ask lemmy”

Yeah, Seth Rogan, too. Jason Segel has broken that mold, though, at least to me. And so has James Franco.

Linda Cardinelli is always Lindsay Weir.

It’s a lot less common to see prominent links to RSS feeds on a website these days than it was, say, fifteen years ago.

I do, I’ve been music for a while about an app that had all my fediverse accounts in one place, a long with my email and possibly reddit (but, uh, without ads). I never check my email unless I’m expecting something and I think a big part of why is because it’s a separate flow from checking my other text-based social media.

I agree with Tilley that many of Chambers’s complaints seem Mastodon-specific, or at least not applicable to the threadiverse.

The only really big disagreement in philosophy I have is the complaint about direct messages not being private messages. We’ve all seen the way that private messages have been used to harass users on reddit. That direct messages don’t include an expectation of privacy on lemmy is, to me, a strength rather than a weakness; something that advantages the recipient over the sender, which is the balance of power we want.

I like the people; the sense of community; public votecasting; the ethos of DIY and self-responsibility; and how most posters make the effort to make posts accessible with alt text for images and summaries for video links.

I dislike that self-deleting or mod-removing a comment also removes all the replies to that comment; that we seem to have settled on “lemmings” as the demonym; and how often video links are posted with no text synopsis or summary, not even the OP saying why they thought it was relevant to the community.

I do for sure.

I’ve never used it for wound care. I keep it in the first aid kit because of its use in cleaning up biohazards.

It’s not about what keeps me going, it’s about what can get me to slow down to survivable speeds.

Stop lollygagging! And… regular gagging!

Spanish is somewhere in the lower-left quadrant.

I’ve been calling it the “U-bomb” for years

which stands for “UnderBoob Of My Butt”
