Fediverse

Also, I hope we can all make a concerted effort to be nicer to each other. It's the internet so that's not always easy but I do think that's one of the things holding us back.

Now I won't be posting! Hah!... oh wait...

Eh, I like being a hydralisk anyway.

Just one small teeny-tiny request. The greatest gift you can give the Fediverse (Original: Lemmy.zip and Piefed.zip) isn’t money, praise, or interpretive dance (although we would absolutely accept the last one). Its participation.

Participation awards are given out here, this is just that kind of degenerate place where that kind of stuff happens. I have seen the underground storehouses filled with participation trophies made of solid platinum and gold under some of the larger instances, it is staggering. We are the deplorably thanked for participating, witness us in our moral decay.

One of the major things I like about lemmy is that it allows text alongside links/images - I think it's good when OPs use this as a jumping point to start conversation as well.

I love the goal this port is trying to achieve, and I try not to be negative about content. But lately I’ve seen the kind of gate keeping that is souring people on that other site.

I’ve had 2 fairly recent examples of it. In one case, the community pushed back on the poster for being an ass. They repeatedly doubled down, and were repeatedly called out for it. It was good to see.

The second was a mod applying a definition to a community that doesn’t exist in its stated rules. I haven’t finished with that one yet, but depending on how my response plays out, I’ll be done with that community, and I’ll just go back to that other site. The particular community is excellent both here and in R-world, so I won’t miss much by saying goodbye to it on Lemmy. I’ll be sad, though.

I've been posting more often lately. I'm doing my part, soldier!

You're not the boss of me!!!
