  • It is foundational. So long as this remains Lemmy rather than Sublinks...:-). But also with the cultural divisions going on now - which instead of lowering seen to have risen after the election - I am not sure how much it would even help. I see so much content across Lemmy that I do worry about surveillance wanting to take us down or some such in the future. Like this one:

    But we'll see how things shape up in Donald Trump's America.

  • I dunno, lemmy.ml already has quite a lot, but now it seems everywhere. One post came out last night in tenforward@lemmy.world but got deleted. Probably all the social media networks have it these days so I might be overreacting.

    Edit: but that is reassuring to hear from you, thanks:-).

  • I get that you want to vent but inciting violence here is not what we choose to be about.

  • Interesting. Yeah perhaps it hides when there are no notifications to be read. Edit: yes, this is the case! If even one notification is present then this row gets added.

    PieFed always shows it. I'm not saying that's better, just helping to explain the source of confusion.

  • Facts do not matter so much to those on the Alt-Right Left, only getting their way, like a toddler claiming "victory".

    What's even better is how their right to speak is our right to STFU and listen, regardless of our consent.

    I came here to get away from Reddit. Now will I find out that we are the Alt-Reddit?

  • Btw Admiral Patrick has embedded Loops videos at https://tesseract.dubvee.org/c/loops@midwest.social. It's a full embed of the video, though not full integration of Loops as you were saying - e.g. there's no heart icon or comments, though he keeps adding more features to the embed like metadata display. Cool! 😎

  • You both are awesome and I'm glad to have you help the entire Fediverse with your activities here!:-)

  • From Firefox and Chrome, even where the OP does not (outside of Tesseract I mean), yes!:-)

  • @return2ozma@lemmy.world

    You deserve an explanation as to why your cross-post of this was removed from !AskUSA@Discuss.Online: that instance has higher standards (though not quite Beehaw level) and we try to keep things "welcoming", thus we made our top community rule #1 to "be nice". And I felt that coming out swinging calling the whole country a "hellhole" went against that rule. I see that that is the top rule in this community as well, but I suppose there are differences in interpretation as to what that means.

    Options from here: You may appeal to the head mod @m_f@discuss.online if you wish, as it does not strictly violate the rules of Discuss.Online itself. And/or you could re-phrase the title. Or you could even make a post asking for clarification of the rules/expectations - although note that this was already done recently and by far people seemed to express distaste for all the politics stuff, so we try to direct that to !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world instead. I've posted there myself in the last week, almost made another post there yesterday as well, and I highly recommend that community for things such as this. In fact, their sidebar text says that they love such self-posts of commentary, as opposed to like "news", and even "discussion of and disagreement about issues is encouraged!"

    So I get that you wanted to vent and discuss, and there absolutely are places to do that, I just wanted to protect the members of that community in particular from being constantly barraged with politics, bc as you seem to agree, dayum that shit gets old fast - it becomes overwhelming to so many of us to see all the BS that goes down almost daily now:-(. And maybe that's one way that we can deal, by placing limits on how often we have to think about it each day:-).

  • I love Josh Johnson! I hope to see him behind the chair in TDS soon.

  • Bc it's so far past that it has become its own thing. Like there's "mental illness", and then there's "Florida"!:-P

  • I would say that this is perfection, if it weren't for the simple fact that most states are in far more danger of Ohio than this shows... :-D

  • Profits.

    It used to still be a worthwhile investment though. These days... it can be, but it's not guaranteed. You also can learn most things online for free, so what is it even getting for you, really?

    Connections.

    But that only if you are willing to push for them, and so many kids are only there purely bc their parents send them, like an extended daycare or continuation of high school. I'm not saying it's not worthwhile, but it requires a VERY serious commitment, and so many people are not willing to live up to that.

    See also the recent discussion in !AskUSA@discuss.online Is college in the USA worth the financial investment?

  • Update a week later: the joke is on you bc it is now twice that! (1.92k/week)

    Maybe that's why PieFed is a whole day behind in federating this content:-(. A small price to pay for awesomeness 😄.

  • It's a schism...

  • Usually I find it funny to say "por que no los dos?"... but yeah I don't think that works here!:-P

  • And I managed to finish it too, yay!

    It was cleaning mold, so it really truly did just NEED to be done!

    Although, they all do, really. Adulting requires much effort.:-P

  • Example: being at the post you want to look up (you can still search the modlog the old way too, though this is a new short-cut), click the hamburger menu and you can see either the user's or the individual post's full moderation history:

    and then this is the result for that one, so note that it's the full history, not just the latest action or current status whatever:

    So I mean, yeah, you do have to click once if you are interested, but you don't have to do all the convoluted filtering in order to find it, as you used to.

    Here's a second example for you - you see that it is removed, and let's say that you desire to know why:

    I guess it's 2 clicks b/c first the hamburger menu, then scroll to the last option, but after those 2 clicks, here's what you see - the answer that you wanted to know!?:

    I don't know the rules of that community, but the mod claims that you violated multiple of them, plus used abusive language in particular - e.g. not stating "I disagree with your thoughts" but calling someone "a dumb baby" specifically.

    Again, you can do whatever you want... but so too can mods, and that's a tough thing that they have to do btw, to enforce the rules that their community wants and demands that someone do for them. Start up your own community if you wish, and then you can be your own mod, but then people will end up disagreeing with you and you will experience first-hand what it is like to be in that moderator position: it is not always, nor even usually, fun - it's WORK, and most people (the kind with a conscience) feel that it's a heavy burden (though some do abuse their role, I definitely concede that point as well).
