The magic spice

I’ve seen a few people doing it, but I (and literally any companies scraping instances for content) just lol and move on.

Oh oops, you haven’t pasted some cool copyleft licence below your words on this niche thread on a niche social media network so looks like I might remix and reuse your content without attribution… Unlucky

It’s not thriving. The devs are prickly arseholes, which is anathema to building a cooperative, volunteer-driven dev community and the tone of many mainstream communities is obnoxiously set by tankies amd their alts.

But how otherwise to convince people to always leave their surveillance devices phones switched on?! I had a oneplus 3t that would wake itself for alarms, shame it broke eventually.

Bots are a fact of life, unfortunately.

It’s surely only a matter of time though, right? I mean, their support drops off sharply amlmg younger age-groups. I suspect they’re trying to ram through as much violence now as they can, because the clock’s ticking on such extravagant and uncritical (or only circumspectly critical) support.

I guess just war until the Russian colonisers are expelled, putting an end to the imperialist invasion. Stop the expansionary push to exploit weaker, foreign countries. It’s pretty clear-cut.

Honestly the Lemmy main devs just aren’t that great amd their hardline ideology pushes away plenty of potential help.

Don’t be stupid about it, don’t get greedy. Just give yourself a little discount to offset some of the recent bullshit price inflation and portion shrinkage.

Think of the shareholders! The economy! And the (already fucked) social contract?!

There’s surely appetite building around the world for this. Who will throw the first stone that starts the landslide?

Thieve from big corpos. Don’t feel bad about it. They don’t.

A spectacularly unhelpful comment. Literally worse than shutting the fuck up. At least you removed all doubt, buddy.

It lacks the massive audience to bear non-nerd communities. The formula1 subs are not a patch on reddit, nor are the outdoorsy, camping and flashlight communities.

No. Humans are more than their base instincts. Hamas should not have murdered civilians. Israel should not be abusing Gazans. Both are true at the same time.

That works when you have your profile set up,as it were. But communities I want are still absent or being formed, and my subscriptions list is not complete,so I still browse by all to get wind of new ones as they pop up. I cannot wait to retreat from all back to a curated list though.

You’re not alone. Thank fuck you said it. People create a whole new community where a single post would have achieved as much. It’s waaaay too broken down over here. I have had to block comms for each English premier league team, each fucking one. And pretty much empty comms apart from dead threads on match results.

You evil genius. I’ve been just keyboard mashing for recent usernames, but I like this version.

Fuck that. Banksy wrote:

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.

The longer quote is here.
