Sorry you got jumped on as a new user a bit.

The karma system on reddit encourages posting and reposting stuff that everyone has seen before to get fake internet points, and maybe what you win is a “more powerful account” for the algorithm instead of everyone getting a more or less equal voice.

You can still get people to follow you and build a tribe if you want without that, and you are also free to start any community you like, so a few mods don’t end up controlling all the online real estate and steer the conversation unfairly.

Plus its simpler. Sometimes simple is good.

I’m glad they finally moved the body.

1846 historical account by Francis Parkman called “The Oregon Trail”, narrated by Frank Muller. Francis was around 24 at the time and as a white male, certainly was influenced by the prevailing views of his time, but lived, feasted and hunted with Native Americans and directly observed their culture. He captures an era of American History in a unique way.

Plus, it isn’t so good that you can’t fall asleep. +8, would definitely do again.

Murderbot is awesome!, pardon me for awhile while I calm down to an episode of Sanctuary Moon.

The cardboard paper towel megaphone should be anyones first choice for both announcements and updates.

Purely anecdotal but I was in Costa Rica in September of 2020. I was struck by the difference and better preparedness compared to the US.

Every store and place of business had not only signs and hand sanitizer at the entrance, nobody was in stores without masks, and I drove by a line of people over half a mile long and 3-4 people deep, of people waiting in line for hours to get vaccinated.

The taxi driver told me there was some program to provide vaccines to CR and what he did was stay in line and hold the place for his family for awhile and then they would wait in line allowing him to work for awhile. Overall they took public safety measures much more seriously than the US, but I was in a wealthier urban area, don’t know how it was in the rural areas.

Having to constantly find new hiding places for the blood chalice, and keeping up with all the latest scanning methods so you can develop countermeasures. Your secret is never truly safe.

If only someone could invent a death ray, we could whoop ass on those anthropogens.

Lord Sauron is a simple working class person just like you and me. He received the diamond mines from his father only after he had proven himself. He knows what is best for all of us.

Be Bold. Sort by new and brave the shitstorm. That’s the only way to do Lemmy.

I believe this is the start of a revolution for skeletal freedom.

(Not Skelator. Fuck you Skelator.)

Good name for a band.

For a monthly retainer of only 100 millionions I will review and certify each review.

But we can eat the frogs.

This is proper and standard procedure.

I am disappointed with all of you. Please go to your room.

I like 3 also. if you can’t get a good user experience privacy matters less because there are no users, and anyone can spin up a super privacy enhanced instance if they want.

I was thinking however that a super stand alone image server would be a great thing for Lemmy, and pixelfed and the Fediverse in general.

Imgur blew up and was the go to for image hosting on Reddit for years, until Reddit realized it was leaking traffic and users to them and started their own. But hosting images has a lot of potential headaches like copyright violations and big corps suing you into oblivion, in addition to inadvertently hosting illegal stuff. The Fediverse will need some good image hosting servers and video hosting servers as part of the plan in the long run though.

Every goddamn thing wrapped in plastic that prevents crumbs from falling out.

Dating so soon may be a mistake. Get to know them a little first is my advice.
