It would be great to implement client side. I just don’t know how the comment system would work. Do you post to 4 communities all at once? Obviously moderation issues if it’s a single comment linked to 4 servers, but if it’s not then people who don’t have a client that combines duplicate comments on duplicate communities would see a bunch of garbage spam.

I guess I’m not saying it’s inconceivable that this feature could be done well, but the obstacles seem really tall. I can’t even imagine how I would implement this.

I understand why some folks would want this, but I just don’t. I don’t want to interact with users from e.g. .ml so I don’t go to communities hosted on that instance. But if they were joined in, you’d get the same people in News and Politics regardless of where you go.

I would pretty much be forced to find or run an instance that federates with exactly the right servers. Even then, I’ll have someone talking about what u/shitfart said in their comment and I won’t have a fucking clue what they’re talking about. Then there are the people caught in between who see everything and wonder why people are talking like they don’t see one another.

It would just be an absolute shit show. My instance is having some federation problems right now and I’ll see someone say “I’m jumping on the bandwagon” but there is literally no one else [that I can see] who is taking about what they just said.

I totally get why this would seem to be a good idea, but I don’t like it.

I just checked my blocked instances. zerobytes.monster is the only one I know for sure. Couple of others I’m not sure why I blocked. Most of them are to filter out languages I don’t read from the All view. Possibly lemmit.online.

There are entire instances that are nothing but Reddit repost bots.

Literally the first name that popped into my head when I saw the question. There are plenty of other good choices, but she has to be near the top of any list.

Incidentally… am I having federation issues? This is the only comment I see mentioning Ripley. I see 11 comments currently…

Will second pouch recommendation. It’s a small but significant difference.

Let’s just say if 2 orgasms per week lowers your risk of prostate cancer, I’m pretty sure my prostate will last until the heat death of the universe.

But this isn’t even close. I’d choose laughter every time.

If you take antagonistic positions and argue with folks you’re going to get responses like that. You probably have anywhere from 50 to 1500 people read that response and the chances of your words being the straw that broke any one of their backs is fairly decent.

We all have bad days. I block a fair number of people on here for being antagonistic pricks - even if they do so couched under the veil of reasonableness - because that isn’t why I come here. But other people choose violence. And I can understand.

That’s all our system allows. You can be dem, rep, or politically irrelevant.

Lots of road head. Feel like that was more common 30 years ago. Probably too risky with cell phones and dash cams getting your license plate.

In Thailand I saw a moped with a family of about 7 (not even uncommon), and a bus making a three point turn in the middle of majorly busy roads in Bangkok.

The thing I liked about Reddit, and the thing I like about Lemmy is the focus on the discussion over the users. Following individuals instead of topics feels really weird to me.

I understand the interest in the feature, just offering another perspective.

That being said, it would be cool to have a little tighter integration with Mastodon for that sort of thing. There are people here I would be happy to interact with outside of the narrow confines of a particular news article. It would be cool to link those contexts.

Good call on video embeds.

I think Target and McDonald’s have figured out the solution to that: surround the supports with concrete pillars.

I have a drink I’ve nicknamed the one-and-done.

• 2oz bourbon (I currently use Elijah Craig small batch)
• 1oz citrus vodka (using Smirnoff)
• syrup to taste (I’ve tried a bunch of different combos; currently using about .75 oz triple sec syrup and 1.5 oz homemade honey/peach)
• top with soda or tonic (or don’t, I’m currently out)
• garnish with lemon
• sip slowly

It lives up to the name.

I don’t think he’ll endorse anyone except maybe for pay. And I don’t think anyone will want his endorsement. Most of his endorsed primary candidates failed (as I recall, valid to double check that). It may not be a mark of death, but it doesn’t look like it helps.

Weird aside, is profile a new thing? I don’t have any way to set my profile in my app, nor can I find a place to read one. Wondering if either my instance or my app needs upgraded to support it. Or maybe I’m just too stupid to find it.

Even through the web UI I can’t see it.

I love the size because you can sort of develop recognition and trust with people here, but it’s still anonymous. Obviously Lemmy needs to grow but I feel like eventually anything cool like an online community or vacation spot eventually grows to where they aren’t the original thing any more, now they are something new.

The vacation spot is still beautiful but now it’s overrun with impolite tourists and dubious vendors, for example. Small communities are great. At least if Lemmy gets too big, people can retreat to their local instance instead of interacting more with everyone out there. That’s not bad.

I do not approve of denigrating the clitoris, but I guess you do you. Er… wait… that’s not how I meant that to sound.

Two questions:

1. How would that be different than what everyone has been doing?
2. What is even implied by the usage of ‘clit’ here? It feels like it’s being used with a negative connotation, but they are pretty fucking awesome. Definitely in my top three favorite erogenous zones.

My computer always drops the first character or two when waking, making me screw up my password. So I wiggle the mouse and by the time my hand is back on the keyboard I can type my password with confidence.

I think you need a bang in front of that.
