The quality of posts and responses since the “exodus” is completely apparent to any longtime reddit users. Admittedly elitist as it is, the spelling and grammar by it self has been base level evidence of that. Not to mention the myriad of other ways its taken a nosedive.

Reddit has already been in decline for a long time, but from the few times I’ve checked since the protests it’s much worse now, and quickly getting even worse. And as you said, most of the people left there do not care which is disappointing.

Unfortunately as optimistic as I was about lemmy, so far I’m not sold. Theres all of the same issues here if not more. We may have witnessed the birth and death of something really cool within a very short time (considering). Even if true options take a decade to build up I think it’s too late. The experiment has concluded.

It makes me sad because reddit used to be a really cool place. Rules were about allowing truly contributive content to be disseminated. Up votes were for ideas that added to the conversation in a meaningful way. Downvotes were reserved not for points that were disagreed upon, but thoughts that did not add substance to the conversation. It was a much better community to be a part of back then. That environment just doesn’t exist anymore on a broad level.

Morbid but with the amount of school shootings that have happened the more people that can call 911 the better. The kids need the phones to possibly save their lives. Signal blockers are not the answer.

Not living in an echo chamber and not platforming institutions with histories of intentional disinformation (which has led to massive divides in the US and even an attempted insurrection) are two different things. It is widely known they are not to be trusted, and shouldn’t be given a platform.

Stop giving these idiots a platform. Stop repeating the stupid bullshitbthey say so they go away.

Have family that is in fire… all right or far right.

What always confuses me is that they’re one of the highest paid unions in my state. And yet they constantly bitch about socialism.

Same arguments from people I know in the trades, especially electricians.

Do they not know what unions are? How they were formed? Do they not understand how they pay into a big pool so they all get benefits? Aka SOCIALISM???

Here’s to being one of the good ones bud. Keep doing what you’re doing and fuck the idiots. Keep your head down and retire early.

Edit: I have to add that they’re always buddy buddy with law enforcement, who are also massively union. Who also are all right or far right. Makes no sense in my mind.

Whoever owns this bot should stop letting it post fox news bullshit.

Fantastic article thanks for posting. I literally just started reading “the aloha shirt” last night and this will provide some great context.

Time to pick up a Sig Zane shirt or two… wallet allowing.

As someone who’s lost their partner recently, this is exactly right. My favorite shows used to be medical ones and I cannot even see a commercial in a medical setting without getting pulled back to that day instantly. I was diagnosed with Complex PTSD because of the experience.

Sounds like OP has PTSD also. Meds and therapy for him and her, especially couples therapy, would be what’s needed. Don’t know what that looks like in a 3rd world country though.

They don’t only eat figs… that’s just their name. In fact their favorite tree in my back yard is a lemon tree. They swarm it every year.

Google figeater beetle. You’ll see it’s definitely one of those.

We used to call them Japanese Beatles where I’m at, but I believe they’re really called Figeater Beetles.

Do a good long pour of boiling water in the v60. Make sure it’s hot to the touch. This won’t eliminate temp drop but at least help.

Another question: is it a glass v60 or plastic? The plastic ones work much better at keeping the temp counterintuitively.

There is a “barista” style oat milk that does great with steaming. Wish I could remember the brand, but it’s in the US if you’re there and works really well.

Better question is how did it taste!?!?!?

Try it with some cinnamon and sugar on top with steamed milk of your choice. Spanish latte, and they’re one of my favorite espresso beverages.

I’m not against helping from pst. I work full time but if its an evening capable thing I’m more than happy to help if I can.

Edit: I don’t know how DMs work on connect/lemmy yet but message me if you want.

I’m not a developer of any sort, but I’m super interested if a “folding at home” style option is doable. I can’t front the costs for a whole server for an instance, but I’m totally willing to contribute some resources from my pc to avoid falling into the same reddit trap. If we all did it as users I think that would avoid the centralization problem as well as distribute costs effectively.

Thanks for the great tips.

Definitely will turn off background data for reddit and Twitter since they’ve made themselves redundant.

Hopefully I’ll get some more battery life out of this. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for the info!

Worries me a little bit on the scalability side of things, but honestly I kinda hope this place doesn’t get as big as reddit got. I enjoyed that place a lot more before it got huge. The content and conversations were just better all around.

Imagine wanting some popcorn and candy to top it off… streaming from home is the way to go now and they did it to themselves.

It’s a shame too, because there are some movies that just benefit from that large form factor viewing. I’d love to go see Oppenheimer on imax but I’ll be damned if I have to spend 50 bucks to go watch it alone with some refreshments and snacks.
