I adore musical episodes, assuming the cast has the chops to pull it off. I’m genuinely saddened by some of the salty takes in here about it.

Yeah, but that’s not what the Republicans are upset about. The FBI has a long and very checkered past, but they’re not wrong to be investigating the Republican party at this point.

Not too long ago Florida was a purple state. It may be again someday. Don’t write off the hard working victims of the very slight, but very vocal, majority.

I really like this idea. Would there be an option to add something like a top sort 6 hours or 12 hours? Memmy added it and I found it a really helpful feature.

Ah, never heard of it.

I legitimately don’t think this qualifies as NSFL. There’s no effort to make it gross, no muscle or blood. It’s just normal skin that falls away to bone in a few places.

With the subject smoking as the vegetation reclaims the scenery, it seems to be revealing a resignation and, perhaps, even a willing participation in our own destruction.

I’d give anything to have Ernest P. Worrell back and on the case.

Do you have a strategy for frugal salmon? In my neck of the woods, it’s a rather pricy protein.

Lovely and what a blast. Racing/Regattas are so much fun. I grew up with a tiny c scow and we got to race it a few times. Not the same class of vessel at all, but I’ve never lost my love of sailing. There’s nothing quite like it.

What kind of boat do you sail?

Caves of Qud is phenomenal and you won’t regret playing it. If you have a phone, I’d highly recommend Shattered Pixel Dungeon. It may be one of the cleanest versions of the genre. It’s also available on PC, but I’ve never played it there.

Similarly, I think Hoplite on the phone may be the most distilled version of the genre, pared down to the barest essentials and utterly glorious as a result.

Kbin has the notification feature, though it’s been a bit buggy from time to time.

Favorite panel show?

That’s a fair point and something I’ll need to keep in mind. There are plenty of game developers I’ve walked away from over the years because of their views and behaviors. While I’m sure there are plenty who’ve never said the quiet part out loud, I’ve divorced myself from those who do.

I’m no programmer and I understand that open source is a significant shield against weighted algorithms and behind-the-scenes shenanigans, but I also know where Lemmy’s roots lie, not just the developers, but the initial communities they created.

To me, kbin already feels like a fork I’m happy with. I’m not trying you be dogmatic, but for now, this is where I’m comfortable.

Great post and I really appreciate bringing the sources to the discussion.

I know some people don’t have an issue with the developer’s views, so long as it doesn’t affect their software, but I’m not comfortable using Lemmy. I wouldn’t be comfortable using a Nazi developer’s software either.

Man, I really appreciate this post and I think tankies are absolutely authoritarian turd burglars. Calling them red fascists is fine and maybe that’s how history will know them.

I know there’s a lot of diverse thought on what makes a fascist and many definitions try to distinguish it from run of the mill genocidal authoritarianism.

That’s why I chose to distinguish tankies and fascists. I broadly think they have different goals, beliefs and methodologies, though the damage they’ve wrought is remarkably similar. At the end of the day, if we look at results, it’s probably just as fair to lump them in together.

A tankie is not a fascist. He denied being a genocidal fascist.

I’ve seen a lot of pro-China propaganda coming from Lemmy and I suspect tankie is still on the table.

Don’t tell someone you’re playing both sides!

Twitter vs Reddit

Is there any way like-minded communities could voluntarily have all their discussions automatically merged for identical links submitted within a 12-hour range or something?

That way the community isn’t fragmented with lots of very similar discussions occurring in repeated posts in the feed.
