Engage with communities here. The politics and tech communities are lively enough, but niche communities are lacking. Give people a reason to come here who aren’t politics/tech junkies.

Going to new, or staying on hot?

Oh yeah, there were a whole bunch of issues early on. I’d completely forgotten about that particular incident. I think some of the instances had to wipe several weeks of their image caches over it. I forget what the exact solution was, but apparently there’s some technical aspect to preventing such things that’s been implemented now.

dbzer0 is kind of ‘the’ piracy instance. Run by an anarchist, a good egg, db0.

.world here is kind of the ‘normie’ instance, very left-wing by US standards, but centrist by European standards.

It was an utter disaster in those first few months. I stuck it out only out of sheer stubbornness in not going back to Reddit. Lemmy.world was always down, federation was borked, it was just not ready for the big-time. Just what happens when your userbase balloons 30x inside of a month. Now we’re in a much better position to absorb new waves. The big thing is trying to get niche communities started on here - a bit of a arduous task. The mainstream communities are all pretty active at this point! And anything about Linux.

65k Monthly Active Users (MAU) in July 2023, 33k by November 2023, 44k now.

Users about halved in the ~3 months after the initial exile. It’s increased since then, but not yet to the point that it was at during the initial exodus.

Bupropion is rough. I took it for nearly a decade for depression. Headaches, shakes, and fuzzy memory. It didn’t help my ADHD (then-undiagnosed), but it did wonders for making me feel less physically exhausted during periods of depression.

Artists require an audience if they’re going to share their work - otherwise we might as well just hang our works up on our fridge and be done with it.

Lemmy is a very small audience at present.

The knook can take two pieces though

Puss out.

Yeah, this is why I’m sticking with my current psych despite having difficulty communicating with them. :/

Getting in to see a new psych in this fucking country is hell.

I don’t think you really mean that, sweetheart. :)

“She’s never stated” to “Well she doesn’t REALLY mean it” lmao

Given Harris has never and has stated she will never call for a permanent ceasefire, I have no idea where you think your gotcha moment is here.

Do you people even try, or is honesty against the terms of your religion or something?

Oh yes, just like I’m sure she was being completely sincere when she said all Biden had to do to earn her vote was ‘call for a ceasefire’ within the coming year.

Turns out when MLs don’t say a single thing in good faith, people start remembering and stop taking them seriously. :)

“Marxism is when you make false claims about genocide in order to make a false equivocation between literal fascists and liberals, because to you both of those things are exactly the same.”

Hey, remember when you said you’d vote for the Dem candidate if Biden was replaced? How’s that going?

Most modern Marxists are supportive of “AES.”

Ah, it’s like the Bolsheviks being in the minority and declaring themselves the majority (literally what ‘Bolshevik’ means, while ‘Menshevik’, the actual majority, means minority) all over again.

But I want to be a capricious god

I would challenge you to even come up with a reasonable way to spend ten million dollars a year.

I would fund multiple forms of art media and have them released for free every year while living on ramen in my leaky apartment
