Hello everyone new here, can anyone tell how this platform works?
  • A few instances are ideologically driven. So lemmy.world and lemm.ee tend to be pretty straightforward instances politically slightly left of centre but there are others like lemmy.ml and hexbear that push Kremlin/CCP propaganda. Anyone can set up an instance and federate with the other instances. But instances can also de-federate with specific instances. For example most instances have de-federated from hexbear and threads so posts made to them won't show up for users who use lemmy.world for example.

  • Hello everyone new here, can anyone tell how this platform works?
  • It's like Reddit, but not owned by a large faceless corporation intent on using it for social engineering. That being said, if you disagree with the political ideology of some instances they'll give you a ban for racism and not qualify it. Eg don't talk badly about Russia or Palestine on lemmy.ml posts. Generally, be nice and people will reciprocate. Except lemmy.ml.

  • RFK Jr. set to launch disease registry tracking autistic people
  • Because whatever causes it, it's a difference in synaptic connectivity that can't be medicated or trained away. The only effective way to remove autism from society is removing autists from society and that's exactly what rfk jr wants to do.

  • Me doing a drive by comment of every Norway-related post...
  • The only part of Finland I've been to is kilpisjärvi, which exists entirely for Norwegians to go and drive snowmobiles and drink. So I really can't say. Norway is essentially pretty but boring. Plenty to do if all you want to do is hike, ski and drink.

  • Did you know you can track Elons jet from Mastodon?
  • I'm no Marxist. I'm also not American. But I'm pretty sure it's more about the erosion of human rights and the rise of an autocratic regime. Shit looks pretty bleak for Americans. To get an idea of what's coming next Elon musk and Donald trump want to follow the insanity of Curtis yarvin. JD Vance and Peter Thiel want to follow project 2025. Neither end well.

  • Did you know you can track Elons jet from Mastodon?
  • The left have been warning about exactly what's happening for years. Practically screaming it into traffic. Noone has listened, noone has taken us seriously, noone has thought to actually stand up to the oligarchs.

    After a while you have to stop treating them like children who don't know better and come to the realisation that they want the cruelty and oppression. They just don't want it to happen to them.

    Once the extrajudicial deportations start, anyone still onboard with it is by definition hostile and an active supporter of fascism. These people can't be reasoned with.

  • Me want cookie
  • My partner likes it when I dress in a blue fur suit and start talking like cookie monster.

    She then says something like "do you want a cookie, cookie monster?"

    I then say (again, in the voice of cookie monster) "me not a cookie monster. Me a pussy monster!" And start enthusiastically eating her out.

    Just something to consider.

  • The 6th of February is Sami peoples day. Enjoy!

    My 3 year old has taken up parkour. How do I keep her from killing herself?

    So my three year old has, since she was little, been really into jumping. I try to warn her that she could seriously injure herself, but this hasn't happened yet so she doesn't think I'm serious. But she jumps over and off anything. Sisters bunk bed to the armchair 2 meters away? No problem. Bunk bed to the floor? Sticks the landing every time. I swear my partner must have cheated on me with a f##king spider monkey.

    How do I convince her to not do the jumps that could break her ankle if she lands wrong? I'm not getting through to her. I'm happy she is physically active, but she's taking the piss.
