freamon

I have Feelings about certain instances (too unreliable, too much interference, too little / too much moderation on certain specialised instances) so that helps me choose. It’s not something you necessarily get right first try.

I assume they were talking about [email protected]

I thought for a second that the OP of the other post had changed the title (missed opportunity, there).

Serious answer: TIE fighter pilots climbing into their ships against the backdrop of The Eye, with the klaxons fitting perfectly with the music.

The ones added in the “special” editions

You’re showing up as a bot, btw. Anyone with a blanket ban on bots won’t see your comments, so it’s maybe an idea to change it in your settings.

Blatantly.

Well, personally I use IRC to steal media, but I realise that’s not why you’re asking.

I suppose the reason people might use it for chat is that it’s been around a long time, so there’s clients (with endless plugins) that do exactly what people want, and it’s all simple, text-based often unencrypted stuff, so it’s easy to write bots for (that might notify you of something, for example)

I think I use ‘pretty good’ to pretend I have an opinion about something, rather than it being a moral judgement:

How was the film? Pretty good vs.
How was the film? Good.

Hey, that’s not true. They also had posts complaining about trans people existing and Star Trek fans being nerds. Still, it’s admirable - in a way - the effect they had: I ask the lemmy.world admins for updates on fixing their technical issues, and get no reply. This guy makes one post, and they all leap into action.

I’d mind less if their own instance wasn’t so broken.

Not that one, their copy of the massive one at dbzer0

lemmy.world deleted their copy of it (due to site rules, and prompted by a concerned Internet citizen)

It’s probably the biggest Community in all of Lemmy, so the ramifications will be interesting.

Literally:

Important Images
Important Videos

On one of the Culture worlds, as depicted by Iain M Banks.

I’d just be one of the hedonist citizens though. If Special Circumstances suddenly wanted my involvement, I’d be ‘No, thanks!’

I just looked, and I think it’d be more accurate to call it a Neo-Bolshevik cesspit.

(I don’t know what those words mean)

Searching for ‘support’ on your instance gave me https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support.
It says it’s for ‘Lemmy’ rather than lemmy.ml specifically, but I guess it’ll be read by the right people.

I didn’t have the same issues you had. Maybe a browser issue.

You’re reframing OP’s question. There’s no suggestion that I’m the only one with this opportunity - I’m relying on others to plant ideas about the climate or whatever, and focusing on what maybe other people haven’t already said (which is a good strategy for posting on Lemmy, incidentally).

But if that’s your genuine criticism, that what I posted can’t be ranked as the most important thing, well there’s plenty of other posts that you should be busy responding to.

Ha, no, I didn’t mean it like that. The ‘role of providing semen’ and the ‘role of providing eggs’ would be during normal intercourse.

Hear me out first.

‘Gender critical’ theory. Everyone should have this theory, as originally defined, planted in their head. Men would only associate ‘masculinity’ with their role in providing semen for procreation. Women would only associate ‘femininity’ with their role in providing eggs for procreation.

There would be no gender-non-conformity because there would be no ideas about gender to conform to. A minority of men would, as an everyday thing, wear dresses. It would be impossible to verify that someone was a woman or not (short of x-raying their uterus).

The important thing, is that if this happened, the people currently claiming that they’re ‘gender critical’ would lose their freaking minds.

Seems to be here
