they’re making the friggin clones gay!

Actually, it took me 3 days to recover.

I wouldn’t call them douchey. It’s not like they’re causing damage to anybody else and there’s nothing wrong with using their own lemmy instance as a local bbs.

That said, I decided not to join them when I saw I would have to go through a sort of interview process explaining how I would contribute to them. They also have a long winded text to say the rules will be applied arbitrarily.

I’m a bitter old man who dislikes inline gifs in the comments, is there a way to block it like I did with RES on Reddit?

I use a Firefox addon that redirects reddit pages to archive.org versions. I’m considering reposting any thread I visit that way on Lemmy.
