I’ve not heard of them but we’ve definitely had a few moments where some toys will suddenly start singing in the middle of the night, it’s quite creepy!

I like it!

Or what?

How is this a controversial take? If you need a wall to keep people in or attempting to emigrate makes you a “defector”, or you’ve built up a huge surveillance network where your neighbours or even partners can report you for bullshit “crimes” , you’re an authoritarian state.

What sort of things out them as “libs”?

I agree it’s terrible on mobile, but it’s the wall of text I love on desktop. I want to see as many titles on a subreddit as I can.

The Lemmy web desktop UI is quite similar. I just wish the list of subscribed communities was more accessible rather than being at the bottom of the instance home page.

Guess that was probably on an lemmy.ml community?

My only complaint with the modlog is that it doesn’t say which moderator performed the action. It just says “mod”, so there’s no way for a community to make sure particular mods aren’t just going rogue.

You can put /modlog after the instance URL, e.g. https://lemmy.world/modlog

We don’t do that here (UK), there’s no order in which people are served their food. It doesn’t really matter, as it’s “polite” here to only start once everyone has got their food.

For me it’s 148.

This comment thread is making me feel old!

I never bother clicking the piped bot links, and I’m not a fan of the tldr bot either as I think there’s activity on a post but it turns out it’s just the bot.

Yeah it’s owned by meta.

I have a Matrix client installed for some communication with some users from my instance but I don’t really use it. I don’t use discord either.

Pretty much just WhatsApp and Telegram, and Slack for work.

I still use Reddit, maybe more in recent times actually. I don’t like the platform and the app is a massive pile of wank, but there’s more “normal” people there who don’t spend every waking moment hating America or going on about Linux. I still use Lemmy nearly every day but it’s more morbid curiosity now.

Imagine miraculously surviving the plane crash only to get twatted by a crate full of dildos from the cargo vehicle.

Lemmygrad or ml aren’t left wing? The entire platform feels left wing as all anyone can ever say is how bad capitalism is.

No it’s not. You can have casual communities or gaming or sports communities that aren’t political.

I don’t think the average person cares about the FOSS principles that the instance software was built upon, they probably care that it just works and receives updates. People will come for the content.
