Because it sounded funny?
If you were to be without electronics for a one month vacation what would you do for entertainment?
Books, walking and cycling! Though doing sports without electronics would be a challenge for me.
What's your favorite book, or genre?
I love dystopian science fiction, but really, anything where the story and the characters are nuanced and imperfect. Where the "good guys" are conflicted and sometimes selfish, and where the "bad guys" are human.
What was the drama? Can you link it.
I defederated lemmynsfw from the instance I admin
Are you against nsfw content in general or just on your instance
She mistook an onlyfans model for underage (she wasn't) and decided a community was made for models that are or look underage because it has "adorable" in the name (it isn't). She demanded the lemmynsfw admins remove the community and content (they didn't), and she defederated her instance from it, hence the drama. One of the biggest instance dramas of Lemmy so far! We really need a community for this shit.
Oh look, there's the drama!
Are you uh, surprised it was brought up? After you mentioned it in your AMA post? Lol
I'm surprised it took this long :)
Does anyone care if 1 instance defederates when there are hundreds to choose from?
Neither. Our instance is home to several nsfw communities
So brave
What's something you wish you could tell a younger version of yourself and why?
"You have ADHD. Do something about it, or it will sabotage you for years, without you knowing why you can't do the things everyone else seems able to do"
I'm iny 40s and finally got help from a doctor about it after getting the runaround for decades.
Oh my God I am so retroactively angry.
Yep. I got diagnosed after my kiddo did, and it's hard not to be angry at all of the missed opportunities and losses that it has caused me, because I simply wasn't equipped to understand or work around the executive function deficits
TY :)
Do you ride a bike? If you do what bike do you have?
I ride a Merida Scultura 200, which is like Baby's First Real Roadbike :)
Thats a super cool bike, I ride a marlin 8 gen 2 and I've only injured myself a few times
Oh, a cross country bike! That sounds like it would only be a matter of time before I came off it :P
I've never ridden a road bike, what's it feel like and whats your average speed?
It's so light! It's interesting, because when I read reviews, they all comment on how heavy it is compared to more expensive road bikes, but coming from my background with a hybrid, the road bike is SO light.
I mostly use it for commuting though, as a way of keeping up my fitness, and cross training for my running, which is my main interest. I average about 22km/h on my commutes. Much faster when I do dedicates rides on bike paths, but I don't do them so much
I personally like aluminum frames better than steel or carbon because its a good in between light and sturdy.
I've been training for a 100 mile dash on my bike and I'm trying to get my average from 13 mph to 15 mph. I love my bike, I take my bike through the worst weather conditions like snow and rain and its so fun. What's your before meal preparation for bike rides?
Generally nothing more than a coffee.
I get up early, I have my coffee, and then I ride. I eat on the other side of the ride :)
Really, I would suffer if I didn't eat anything and I would be going slower than a running chicken.
I tend to run and ride early in the morning, and if I eat first, I lose momentum and then feel heavy during the run.
How do you feel about people who kiss server admin butts?
