Did you really… forget the beans already??
damn that was annoying for a few days
“Can we have something like multireddits please”
“Can someone explain how the Fediverse works”
“I’m making a new Lemmy app”
“I can’t wait for [x] to make a Lemmy app”
“Wtf is a tankie”
“Rule”
“[A meme about being trans]”
“[A meme about being neuro-atypical]”
“[A meme you have seen reposted a dozen times elsewhere]”
“I miss Apollo”
PS, I dont mean this in a bad way. I love Lemmy and it is hugely encouraging to see so many people use it. I’m just poking fun at trends I’m seeing emerge.
For the record, most of us prefer the term Neurodivergent.
The free space in the middle can just be “BEANS”
“Everyone here is so much nicer than on <insert massively popular mainstream platform here>”
Which honestly became not true pretty much right away - any post about anything remotely controversial or political has just as much toxicity as reddit did imo
Yeah, it’s almost as if it’s people who were the problem all along 😀
Maybe I’m just older and have been on the internet longer, but it doesn’t feel as much like the “early days” as it does feel like when I first came to Reddit after Digg died (without ever having been a Digg user; it just was a coincidence that I discovered Reddit because of the hubbub).
I’ve been online since 1990 tho. I was literally there for the beginning of the “World Wide Web.” The true Wild West of the internet.
Back before music piracy was a thing; because who’s going to download a 3-4MB file on a 14k4 modem? By the time you grab one song you’d have racked up such an internet bill you might as well have bought the single.
I remember spending all day downloading files from a Quake server because I happened upon a server running Team Fortress and had to download the mod. On a 28.8k dial-up modem. It was like 500MB or something.
Then of course when I get into the game, it’s on ctf_crosstheborder and was the most confusing thing I had ever encountered.
The days of overclocking your CPU so that your pr0n would load faster TT__TT and we used emojis like that. Those were dark days, but people learned a lot about CPU cooling.
I am glad that i realised I could just block the tankies instead of arguing with them
Wait is Jerboa crap or something? I would switch but no one has given me a good reason to
[This comment has been deleted by an automated system]
The new one is are we defererating from Threads.
Not in ML of course, but the discussion goes on on other instances.
Jerboa’s last update fixed alot for me. It is pretty annoying to open the app and see a bunch of post about lemmy. Kind of like opening Minds and half the posts are people circle-jerking to the fact that they are on Minds. Like, cool, I’m here too… now why am I here? Post something interesting.
Dude my card was full on my first day of Lemmy lol.
Lemmy devs are/aren’t tankies
What does the
mlstand for in lemmy.ml? I don’t think the instance is based out of Mali…Mali, one of the cheaper TLDs
Also know for having one of the highest malware count for a TLD. I migrated from it a few years ago because of that.
I would assume it is because you can get free (though super bare bones) .ml TLD, though you do have to pay a little if you want some TLD comforts.
Yeah, that’s the exact situation. I personally chose to pay $5-10 per year and use a less sketchy domain for my stuff.
How familiar are you with TLDs?
Yes, I’m aware. My point is why did they pick .ml, specifically?
Just wanted to make sure we were on the same page!
br, .co.in, and ml tlds must be pretty cheap for people because I see them all the time on threat feeds. ML is indeed the Malaysia tld
Edit: Mali not Malaysia lmao. I also looked it up, turns out the company that owned the tld gives em out for free
A quick Google gave me Mali, which is why I said as such.
But frankly I do not believe it is about being cheap, I do indeed think it’s as the other comment said - Marxist-Leninist.
Not sure why you would favor political reasoning for site that’s not even sorta politically based over economic reasoning (despite it being a free service) but that’s alright you’re allowed to have your own opinions
It’s stuff like this that makes me think so.
I’m not going to click a random link you sent me, esp. considering what’s been going on.
Good try tho lmao
The devs are communists by political orientation and .ml is selected for a specific reason, not cuz it’s cheap or free. lemmygrad.ml is also their instance, but lemmy.ml was made to accomodate to a crowd that may not share their political views.
You sure are smart if you know it better than the developers THEMSELVES who said they picked .ml for no particular reason.
Posting that article on “how to destroy a decentralized network” in the comments, over and over
