Hunting birds is gay now, actually.

Men hunt boars and shit like that. Moose. Bison. Bears.

Mate, your countrymen agree with the war crimes. Why do you think you can free this man?

I'm like you, I also like it when the owners of a video game IP have a right to sue preservators of games they've shut down and deleted, instead of having to let people keep it running.

Internet soyboy meets world.

The men are not impressed by what he tells them of what he has learned.

Life imitates art.

Art paints soldiers in latex pants and neon bras wielding anime Gucci guns.

You got a downvote from a guy who thinks Ukrainian women like dying in war for attention.

So well mannered and virtuous. Never debasing yourself with such crude, classless humor.

How fucking noble of you.

Everything in Europe west of the old Iron Curtain has been considered "The West", the Nordic countries are absolutely among them. There have been close ties to the US and UK since WW2, Norway's old prime minister is currently the NATO general secretary.

Maybe an interesting cultural curiosity, maybe not, but Riot Games had the same misconception as you and made an "EU Nordic and East" server for Scandinavians and Russians to play League of Legends together. The game got huge here, but almost all Scandinavians rejected the EUNE server and chose the "EU West" server instead. Nobody wanted to play with the Russians, including me.

This attitude extends beyond just this one game, but it's a prime example. Western Europe is a largely English-speaking region, it's why and how we can relate. Russians usually don't, with some exceptions. Either you communicate in Russian or you don't really communicate at all. We generally don't talk with Russians and don't relate to them.

Politically, in simple terms, we Northern Europeans often tend to want to pull the rest of the west farther left, but the border to Russia is a hard barrier we don't want to cross, not for any period of their political history do we want to emulate them. They are bad. They've been bad for a very long time. I don't know what's wrong with them, but they've been thoroughly fucked up for way too long. Maybe the Ukrainians can give a better analysis of the Russian psyche and culture that causes all this shit, when they get done with the current torrent of it.

It's more about how one of the big reasons America is supposed to be great is all the options you have. 40 brands of cereal is worth it all, is it not?

Not to mention the huge variety of great cheeses, wines, beers and deli meats you should be responsible and not waste your money on.

I'm gonna need to see a lot more testimonials from people this has worked for before I even begin to believe you; That it's as simple as going to the post office once and asking them not to deliver ads to your address, and you stop getting ads there.

And if this is true, it just means a different couple of traits were creating America's ad mail problem. Ignorance and laziness.

 

Too many users here prefer smaller communities and have openly stated they aren't interested in making accommodations to pursue growth to a truly large platform, even if it could be.

Lemmy is the sort of site that will linger in the background and quietly die out, it'll occassionally be mentioned in the same sorts of conversation that bring up old alternatives like voat, rare conversations with few readers.

I had some optimism at the growth spurt, but seeing what the opinions of users here were, that hope turned into cynicism. As I forgot about Lemmy, it's irrelevance was reinforced. It would be best, I think, if this foundation could replace its competitors. But I don't think it's going to happen.

I don't think you want common idiots to like the site.

 

I posted a comment with a link to an article on CNN and several links to architecture and construction websites. It seems like reddit doesn't like comments with untrusted links? Are they being subtly hidden from the thread?

If this is being done at any scale at all I wonder if it's a significant cause of the feeling that the internet has shrunk into a few main sites, linking to a recognizable relatively small selection of news and media sources.

 

Is it just random letters arrived to by keyboard mashing like a lot of federated websites seem, or is there any thought behind it?

 

It's always particularly nice and soft the first time you put it on, but the one I got most recently is so bad it leaves a thin but thorough coat of black fur on my arms when I take it off. What's the production methods used when making sweaters like this?

 

Isn't that supposed to only happen on Posts>All>New? Shouldn't Active/Hot posts require some existing engagement before appearing?

Does lemm.ee sometimes sync with federated instances, which is when new content floods en masse?

This is one of the experiences I've had that makes Lemmy feel far more janky than reddit.com/r/all

 

"help" just means "a conversation"

and that really doesn't make a difference

worse, it's like you're saying "If you have cancer, treatment is available." but what you're actually offering is a daily bowl of fairly healthy soup. you're running exaggerated, optimistic advertising.

 

It was amazing for a decade or two, but now the night scares me, I do not know what awaits us in the morning.

 

I think this place is too fragmented into instances to ever generate a front page anywhere near what r/all is.

If I understand this page right, https://lemm.ee will never show the top post of the day from https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/, https://discuss.tchncs.de/, or https://feddit.uk/.

And the "front page/general" site is already split into several instances (https://vlemmy.net/, https://lemmy.world/, https://sh.itjust.works/, https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/ and https://lemmy.one/, all claiming to be "a general front page lemmy instance")

So what's the deal, which one are we betting on as the place to direct all the new traffic? What's the contender for primary public internet bulletin board? Right now the arrow to an alternative is looking like this: https://i.imgur.com/L1XsBy6.pngd

I'm personally guessing the conclusion is already reached; We have no place we're betting on. We're disinterested in pushing for any particular result. We don't expect people to migrate. Many might not even want them to.
