Seems we've run into the "want to be != are" fallacy.

Krill is so small that instead of looking like a plate of shrimp, they end up looking like a plate of tartare. Like fishy ground chicken. Some people eat krill. Most don't.

Idk any more details about human krill consumption.

You're allowed to use the word normal. It means something quite understandable for most, and only very sensitive people object to its use.

Is it illegal to manufacture a classic 32 panel 70's world cup style white truncated icosahedron football with the black pentagons on it? in c/[email protected]

Yeah, that's not the thing.

Not even God is awake by then.

I really don't like what copyright leaves us with.

Because the shops don't fucking sell them, and that makes me sad for some reason.

They're just on like Temu and shit like that, usually with weirdly small black panels.

Climate protesters are taking action against Big Oil. UK courts are handing them prison terms akin to rapists and thieves in c/[email protected]

Rapists and muggers might belong in the same tier, but thieves and vandals should largely be in a lower tier of sentencing. Maybe with the exception of seriously harmful vandalism.

Beyond XX and XY: The Extraordinary Complexity of Sex Determination in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It means I open the site, and I can't read the article because it had some obligatory signup.

Granted, this was on mobile. On desktop it seems I can read it.

I don't care.

The site doesn't want readers, I'm gonna go back to reading memes.

Nature saying the quiet part out loud. in c/[email protected]

It's not what you wanted to say, but it is what the words you wrote effectively meant.

Nature doesn't lend you credibility. You and your colleagues read Nature because it's how you filter out the trash.
Researchers agree to have it that way. I will not yield on that argument. You do, you agree to it by majority to this day.

My brother claims that Vanguard for League can do the same to gaming PCs that install it as CrowdStrike did to businesses who installed that, is this true? Does Vanguard have as much access/power? (lemm.ee)

Recently I haven't even opened Lemmy (lemm.ee)
 

Too many users here prefer smaller communities and have openly stated they aren't interested in making accommodations to pursue growth to a truly large platform, even if it could be.

Lemmy is the sort of site that will linger in the background and quietly die out, it'll occassionally be mentioned in the same sorts of conversation that bring up old alternatives like voat, rare conversations with few readers.

I had some optimism at the growth spurt, but seeing what the opinions of users here were, that hope turned into cynicism. As I forgot about Lemmy, it's irrelevance was reinforced. It would be best, I think, if this foundation could replace its competitors. But I don't think it's going to happen.

I don't think you want common idiots to like the site.

Anyone know if reddit hides comments with strange links? (lemm.ee)
 

I posted a comment with a link to an article on CNN and several links to architecture and construction websites. It seems like reddit doesn't like comments with untrusted links? Are they being subtly hidden from the thread?

If this is being done at any scale at all I wonder if it's a significant cause of the feeling that the internet has shrunk into a few main sites, linking to a recognizable relatively small selection of news and media sources.

The Fediverse should do what redditors have always wanted and Reddit Inc. has always refused to do; Distinguish between NSFW and NSFL. (lemm.ee)

What does kbin mean? Why is kbin.social called that? (lemm.ee)
 

Is it just random letters arrived to by keyboard mashing like a lot of federated websites seem, or is there any thought behind it?

Why does it seem like some of my sweaters have a soft and loose "lint layer" on the inside? (lemm.ee)
 

It's always particularly nice and soft the first time you put it on, but the one I got most recently is so bad it leaves a thin but thorough coat of black fur on my arms when I take it off. What's the production methods used when making sweaters like this?

What is your opinion on ambush/camping behavior in online games? (lemm.ee)

Why does the Posts>All>Active/Hot feed flood with new content sometimes? (lemm.ee)
 

Isn't that supposed to only happen on Posts>All>New? Shouldn't Active/Hot posts require some existing engagement before appearing?

Does lemm.ee sometimes sync with federated instances, which is when new content floods en masse?

This is one of the experiences I've had that makes Lemmy feel far more janky than reddit.com/r/all

Idk if I think lemm.ee is a good alternative. (lemm.ee)
 

I think this place is too fragmented into instances to ever generate a front page anywhere near what r/all is.

If I understand this page right, https://lemm.ee will never show the top post of the day from https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/, https://discuss.tchncs.de/, or https://feddit.uk/.

And the "front page/general" site is already split into several instances (https://vlemmy.net/, https://lemmy.world/, https://sh.itjust.works/, https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/ and https://lemmy.one/, all claiming to be "a general front page lemmy instance")

So what's the deal, which one are we betting on as the place to direct all the new traffic? What's the contender for primary public internet bulletin board? Right now the arrow to an alternative is looking like this: https://i.imgur.com/L1XsBy6.pngd

I'm personally guessing the conclusion is already reached; We have no place we're betting on. We're disinterested in pushing for any particular result. We don't expect people to migrate. Many might not even want them to.
