Am I taking crazy pills or does the first panel does not reflect reality whatsoever? In my experience, Americans (the citizenry) regularly, openly, and loudly criticize and/or mock dictators and oppressive regimes, the federal government historically does not allow for normal business or trade to occur with them, and in several cases in recent history (for better or worse) the military physically intervenes.
I know what some of those words mean!
Your points are all correct, but I feel it’s also important to remember that nobody owns and operates “Lemmy”. It’s entirely volunteer operated and while it has two full-time devs, they’re paid by donations (and not very much). There is no budget or UX/UI department to do A/B onboarding testing or anything.
What I’m saying is that if there is something you feel needs changing nobody would stop you (in fact they would welcome you!) from rolling up your sleeves and trying to address it (like @Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com is doing with this community)!
I honestly don’t bother with trying to explain what an “instance” is to people interested in leaving Reddit. I just say “get the app” since most users are on their phones anyway. The only time a new user needs to know about any decentralized/federation stuff is if they’re using a web browser, where, yeah, it can be confusing. But apps hide all federation stuff. Just download it, make an account, and follow communities (or people in Mastodon’s case).
Also thank you for sharing your perspective as a newbie in this community it’s very helpful!
A truly feminist society would allow women to choose a traditional gender role but not force it upon them.
I did not realize you were OP (or even had a Lemmy account) 😂
I love the TOS Mudd episodes (and Roger Carmel’s performance) but I have to agree with everything you said.
Mastodon has more of a flat structure and is designed to be more conversational which is why I think it hasn’t caught on amongst celebrities and the pundit class. It’s great for conversation but only so-so at self promotion.
@rysiek@mstdn.social’s blog is one of my favorites. He really understand the social aspect to a lot of modern technology.
Same. I have a hard time not pulling that slot machine wheel if it’s there. It’s nice to have a feed of just the topics I requested from the communities I know are well moderated. Despite spending less time and consuming less content I actually feel more informed.
We out here shilling for Big Lemmy
I’m still waiting on an Okana spinoff simply titled Star Trek: Outrageous
Artist: “I made this from bits of my soul tied together with leftover trauma and the memory of my childhood home”
Reddit:
Honestly curious… what exactly are you doing in a community who’s stated goal is to evangelize the Lemmy network?
Well, this season looks officially ridiculous.
Got it, appreciate the feedback! I actually tried the new Libra Color briefly and found the screen too hard to read without the backlight, wheras my Kindle I almost never use the backlight indoors. That said the Libra 2 was really nice and I may go back to it anyway.
Thank you! Does this work for all models?
I don’t know if it’s correct to say that Vulcan culture is unaffectionate, just affectionate in the way you prefer. Remember: Spock was played the way he was in the 1960s to demonstrate the distance humans are willing to go to tolerate other cultures, no matter how (literally in this case) alien.
There’s definitely a lot to unpack in suggesting that their culture deserves to “fail” because they do not assimilate (lol) into your culture.
