That’s the one I was thinking. And yes, you are correct. I knew feminist wasn’t the right word
Which of course, also brings up all the other “red pill” ones too
- Comment on As of today, I have stopped using Reddit entirely. 5 hours ago:
Being banned from Reddit is a compliment these days. That was the site that used to host thedonald, fatpeople and even pedo communities (and that weird extremely feminist one, that I forget the name of).
I deleted my old account (14 years I think it was), created a new one a few months later, got banned within a few weeks for being a bigot or whatever.
Which was weird, because a lot of my posts were literally defending trans people, but, there were quite a few arguing with the gun community (so, I’m guessing someone felt insecure they might lose their guns and reported me for bullshit).
It’s not even a good place to visit anymore. All the local communities have been overrun by Gun, drug and companies and right wing lobbyists it feels like.
It basically became the equivalent of facebook, but they actually ban you if you disagree with their opinion.

And people keep talking about what he did like making the car fall a bit slower was impressive
The guy promised us the cybertruck would be able to be used as a boat. Didn’t happen. And he can’t even get the trunk to not leak
Totally unbreakable windows. They broke at the public demo
Self driving, apparently the self driving hardware didn’t work and needed an upgrade
- Comment on Some communities don't have actual mods, and you can request Lemmy World admins to take them over 2 weeks ago:
That’s fair if they’re obscure, and if there are extra mods (or at least an attempt to get some). Like, I wanted to start c/plantarfascitis, and yeah, that would be dead.
However, some of the communities I took over, I took them over because there was only 1 mod, who had never even posted to that community, and they weren’t obscure topics (debian, redhat and Fedora actually)… And, the mod had never even posted
fedora and debian has so much happening constantly, it shouldn’t be dead for months… And I feel that if the mod hasn’t used them in 2 years, maybe its time to pass it on
- Comment on Some communities don't have actual mods, and you can request Lemmy World admins to take them over 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. Thats fair enough. I still need to run a windows VM for work, but, I adapted our tools to work in linux.
In practice, if it weren’t for the push to Linux by Steam, it would be a hard sell for most people. I only play shonky games though, so its great for me (and I’m moving to steamOS based hardware, away from PS5/Xbox)
- Comment on Some communities don't have actual mods, and you can request Lemmy World admins to take them over 2 weeks ago:
I saw c/debian and c/fedora… There are people using it randomly, but the mod seems to have left ages ago… Both of these are super common linux distributions (and both have a few subscribers)
- Comment on Some communities don't have actual mods, and you can request Lemmy World admins to take them over 2 weeks ago:
I’ve noticed a few communities where the mods haven’t ever contributed to the community (and its dead), or / and haven’t even posted anything to lemmy in years.
Just a FYI, you can ask Lemmy World admins to takeover ownership of communities community and actively moderate it, to help revive it
It seems there were a few people who simply grabbed the community names when Lemmy grew, and had to plans to contribute to them.
Some of the communities that were affected , I’ve seen have a lot of potential (like some of the larger linux distros).

Yep. I see this is the new feed.
It’s stupid just reposting 100% from another place. If I wanted that, I’d just go there.

How would this hurt them at all? They will just do other things instead
What would hurt them is if enforcement increased

There is something nostalgic about Gnome 1/2. i do miss them

Meanwhile here in Australia, subsidised Solar, battery, Heat pump water heaters and AC units.
But don’t worry, the gas loby is trying to get in on the action and return
- Comment on Victorian Power Generation sources and costs over the last year 1 month ago:
Coal also hides the real costs too, like the cleanup caused by air pollution, health, etc. There are also coal seam fires that have been burning for years

Surely coconut simulator makes up 80% of all revenue. It’s amazing
- Comment on That does not spark joy 1 month ago:
My housemate actually painted a table here with white and gold. It looks good. But, that’s the only hold thing in the house, and my house is garbage
Also, I think the table was recovered from actual garbage
- Comment on That does not spark joy 1 month ago:
All that gold shit in the background genuinely looks tacky. And the eagle reminds me of Nazi shit

You can’t increase pricing, maintain low quality, and sell ad tiers and sell expect people to keep paying.
Even worse, movies and shows often get removed.

I’m Australian, but isn’t this the guy who nobody has seen for months, and is probably dead, or maybe even brain damaged (which would be a reason to keep him out of public)

- Comment on Going Back ↪️🏨 2 months ago:
No… AirBNB’s are so particular because they are trying to make easy money.
I booked a AirBNB NYE once, where the bin at the bbq was overflowing, and the freezer was full of ice (so couldn’t use it).
If they can’t be fucked cleaning, they shouldn’t be operating one.
- Comment on Going Back ↪️🏨 2 months ago:
I booked a AirBNB once, and we had already driven an hour, and the owner said they never approved the booking, and “Airbnb messed up” when I called an hour into the drive
Nope, she clearly had forgotten to disable it that night. Then, after I argued, she said “oh just wait 10 mins, I’ll see if I can fix it”, and wanted me to sit there for 10mins in my car doing nothing.
Another time, its was NYE, it was $400 a night, and the bin there was overflowing at the BBQ, and, we bought ice cream but the freezer was frozen over completely, so it wouldn’t fit.

It worked well even without it
We shouldn’t have to remove the ladder for the pool in the Sims or play with fireworks

Sims was actually fun at the time… Until they did all the expansions
But, I really wish it was black and white. That was the best game
