Bougie is just shorthand for bourgeoisie you think I want to type that out every fucking time? Half the time I have to double take just to be sure I’m not spelling it wrong even after the 500,000th time writing it.
Who gives a fuck? The car isn’t decorated for you it’s decorated for its owner. Same goes with how a person chooses to dress or decorate their body.
Ultimately just another form of “your body exists for my enjoyment”.
This is not true. Anyone that clicks anything remotely socialist immediately gets fed with the completely opposite, gommunism no food and 100gorillionbillion deaths propaganda. It immediately tries to lead people to the opposite.
This is not true? L1A, L1B, L2A, and L2B exceed american insulation regulations by a huge amount, and they exceed the EU regulations as well. I did some roofing once upon a time.
AC unit you grew up with
Lmao grew up with? Most of us have never used AC at all in europe. Here in the UK no homes have AC. The issue is that people are installing it now because of climate change and the result is massively higher energy use.
This isn’t just mildly interesting. We should be considering methods of air cooling that do not use any carbon in order to avoid aircon usage becoming a contributor to the climate problem as things get hotter and hotter.
Nah mate it’s what I say to americans that see basic political terms as cringe because america has turned their entire system into a politically illiterate joke. You’d probably get a culture shock if you saw me using the word comrade but if you came over here you’d find it is in common use in labour parties all over europe.
They’re about to discover just how fucking difficult it is to find good moderators.
Modteams can’t find good mods when they’re actively searching as part of their passion for this shit. Admins will do a much worse job of finding anyone.
I hate this shit. Just make darkmode the default.
How’s that boot taste?

Ellen Pao was actually right though. The attacks on her came from the far right and redditors lapped that shit up because reddit was (and still is) a misogynistic shithole. Her biggest crime was… Closing /r/fatpeoplehate.
If she’d stayed on Reddit wouldn’t have helped qanon, wouldn’t have helped cause theredpill movement, wouldn’t have caused the_donald, wouldn’t have caused a shit load of bad things.
Comparing Huffman to her is absurd. Huffman is a far right prepper. She is as far as I can tell a pretty well-meaning liberal, as far as tech CEOs go anyway, which is unusual given that the vast majority of CEOs in tech them are far right crypto bro libertarian fuckheads.
Accepting that is counterproductive to making Lemmy a worthwhile space that will continue existing though.
Keeping people around requires being more than just “not reddit”. It requires Lemmy to be a community of people that actually create value in and of themselves. Until they reject just being a secondary reddit and be lemmy the space will not mature and come into its own. It will remain a space that just takes content from reddit and rehosts it, one that follows rather than leads.
Reddit already fired 5% of their staff before this. Though you’re right that there is probably more on the way.
Communists write good music. Boots Riley rocks.
Breaking through this and getting moderators to migrate is key to killing reddit and booming lemmy. The act of having the mods create communities on lemmy then sticky comment/post their new lemmy communities for the userbase will bring over tens of thousands of new users. Far more than currently exist here.
Hostility to them won’t help, it’s more likely to make them reluctant to move over. I mod several communities, some for 12 years, and I’ve had a bad time trying to engage with the instance admins here and came up against complete pigheadedness from one instance we reached out to, we’ve had other modteams give us similar stories in the mod backrooms too. These experiences risk alienating the people with the highest amount of power to make migrating off reddit a success, having the userbase here doing it too on top of that will just guarantee that the hesitant steps some are making will end up stopping entirely.
I think attacking the mods like this is similar to attacking a person in an abusive relationship. It’s more complicated than that when they feel so attached to the product of what is in some cases thousands of hours of work put into their communities that they’ve built for over a decade.
Don’t attack the victims. Attack the abuser. I’m glad that it was easy for you to leave the abusive relationship but it’s not easy for everyone. The same psychology is at play.
Digg poweruser, joined reddit in the digg exodus, spent many years pissing off redditors through various projects, ShitRedditSays, HailCorporate, GamingCirclejerk, the fun ones come and go in waves of interest as the zeitgeist moves along.
Been on lemmy for 3 years already now.
