I’m imagining that as a Will and Grace gag and it’s pretty great

As I see it now, the lemmy spirits have seen fit to have some sort of geometric score progression

I agree with your agreement therefore I am ENTITLED to upvotes

1. Browse new
2. First comment
3. Collect massive Internet points
4. ???
5. LEMMY

I never really did this on the bad place but if you browse new and fire off something snarky or heartfelt first it often becomes the top comment in my experience

Lemmy really needs filter words for times like these.

I’d also like to argue that they can’t talk about Reddit itself over there any more because of the pervasive manipulation and censorship so we should make space for that conversation over here.

I think you are right about the normal users but I think they alienated a big percentage of top mods. I think the consequences of that are just starting to manifest.

If memory serves, it’s in reference to the ancient mammal and also the metal band

All the Lemmy (and Kbin) servers (instances) can theoretically talk to each other. You can follow communities on other instances and comment and post like you are used to.

You could think of each server as an independent city-state, each with it’s own leaders, customs and citizens.

If two instances have a feud that can’t be resolved, they will “defederate” and then their users will no longer be able to contact each other.

There are Nazi instances here in the Fediverse (for example), but they get blocked on sight so you almost never see their garbage in the feeds.

Does that help?

Truth be told, I opened it up and saw the first item was “Assess your individual carbon footprint” then unleashed my salty

“We wrote up a quick list of things you can do yourself to feel better instead of blaming the real culprit! (Our precious advertisers)”

Not an advertiser but they generally know % of views (“impressions”) to clicks (called click through rate) and percentage of clicks that turn into sales (called conversion rate).

For that reason, I don’t think they’re trying to get rid of human users completely, just the “troublemakers”.

I think they want to lead the “silent majority” users into a bot advertorial content hellscape where they control all the levers of power and everything is for sale.

I don’t agree with this in all cases.

True, parents usually have a deeply ingrained emotional need to protect and nurture their children but:

• Not all parents do. Narcissists have children all the time. When they do, they cloak their emotional vampirism in ‘love’ like they do in all relationships.
• Even parents with the best intentions have to work HARD not to pass on their generational traumas, abuses, and bad habits.
• Only the child can truly know what will fulfill them as a person. Parents often substitute what they wanted for their younger selves for the child’s best interest.

For those still thinking I have no idea what I am talking about and you and your parents are different… please look into “enmeshment” for your own sake

Homie I’m sorry that happened.

You might want to do some research on:

• verbal abuse
• narcissistic parent
• low self esteem

This is what I wish someone else told me.

Good luck on your journey
