Thanks for sharing! As I was reading this article I read thinking how cool a site, exactly like you posted, would be.
Lap desk for playing PC games on couch
Thanks for the universal or localized or whatever you call it link (this thing !android@lemdro.id)
Since the space was small, range was very limited. Think like 4-5 cans of food, small amount of toiletries. A pair of socks. Things like that. I did notice the items changed over time so I assume they were being used.
My assumption was always they were meant to help someone through a meal or two. Not food for a week.
Keep in mind these are all assumptions from observations!
Around where I live there are a lot of those "little libraries". They are like a big mailbox full of books people can borrow. During the pandemic I started to notice canned goods and toiletries appearing in them. I'm not sure that's exactly what you are asking, but it seemed close.
I do have one on kbin, but I don't use it. I think the kbin interface is way better than Lemmy, but I dig the vibe over here more. No shade to anyone, they are both great. Just personal preference.
Edit - I just read your question and it said beyond. Whoops. I had a mastadon account but I don't like Twitter style social media so it was never used.
This is an interesting topic to me. I really wonder if a dedicated Lemmy instance will appear just related to small gaming communities. I miss them too
Very much echo this! Looking forward to seeing this community grow. Very well written into and clear vision.
My only feedback is the words choices here were, unfortunate. It comes across as the author found undesired demographics which felt not inclusive.
In my opinion this is not being nice.
I am a minority in some parts of the graph and a majority in others. Reading this left my feeling I wasn't welcome here which I have felt ever day before reading this post.
Off Topic. I wish we had a link to the beehaw version of this thread so i could comment on it.
Google as a search engine is more or less dead. I was only really using Google to search reddit. Now that I'm done with reddit... There goes Google.
V rising. I'm playing on my own server with just my husband on occasion. At this point it's mostly barbie dream house. I send the servants off to farm and keep redecorating.
I'm a little conflicted about having a prison in my house though. My husband tells me I'm a vampire so that makes it ok.
I hear you. My partner was in, what sounds like, a similar situation. Be gentle on yourself. It's a process. You likely know all the steps to take, keep taking them. There will likely be rejection along the way, it's not a statement or judgment on who you are it's just the process. You will make it to the other side and you will succees and happiness. I know it!
Thanks for sharing. I was hoping people with hands on modding experience would talk a bit about what they have seen. It's interesting to hear all the different viewpoints.
I can't seem to find anything in a sidebar or sticky thread that talks about the moderation / rules of the news community. I'm very interested in coming to this community to learn about news, but right now it seems whats being posted tends to be relatively low (lower?) quality.
Examples of common rules
- Use the same titles as the article itself
- No blog spam, link to the source
- Political news, should go to the political community
- No dupes of same topic
As an example, take a look at other news aggregators that focus on news.
My goal here isn't tell people what to do but its start a conversation on the topic.
I am a manager in a tech company and have a number of people report to me. One of my personal goals is on increasing diversity, inclusion and equity in the workplace. To be clear this is a goal I set for myself, not a goal coming from a corporation.
A little background on myself. I am a gay cisgendered man married to another gay cisgendered man and we have an adult child. I would say I have a relatively privileged life. I grew up in a safe area and in a stable family. I ended up in tech at a very young age and found success throughout my career. The area we live in is a liberal town, in a liberal city, in a liberal state, in a liberal area of the country.
I have known I was gay since I was a child. Came mostly out as a teenager and fully out as a young adult. I have never lost a friend because of being gay. I did struggle with my identity as a young person but eventually made peace with it.
Lastly the LGBT community that I grew up in is not the same as it is today. The community (read bars) was mostly gay and lesbian. Trans people were just barely on my radar. It wasn't really a topic anyone talked about. Intersex, asexual, pan-sexual and others were just not words I ever heard mentioned once.
What I realized was that even though I was gay, and had been gay for decades - I was actually relatively out of touch. As an example I recently purchased a sticker I like that said pride. I went to the cashier to buy it and they were all excited and mentioned the word "ace". I had no clue what they were talking about and smiled and thanked them. I came to realize the sticker had the colors of the asexual flag.
The reason I share that is to give everyone context on who I am. My question is this. What could your manager do to better support you at work? I'm open to stories, questions, experiences, what has worked / what hasn't worked. Really anything I'm at the start of my journey and very much in the learning phase.
To also be clear my goal is not limited to the LGBTQ+ community but this felt like a natural first step.
