I thought this was going to be more of polling post.

Anyway I did. I deleted my account and haven’t gone back for anything since then. It’s rough too cause now there’s no connection to the local groups here.

I joined a local instance hoping there would be local people posting but I guess that’s not how lemmy works.

lol even mods don’t follow rules on reddit and there are private subs where people do whatever the hell they want.

and we all know what reddit mods do.

For real. I’ve never searched a prank video in my life but they come up during shorts.

And — by the fundamental theorem of financial calculus that I just made up — “not free” times “a lot” equals “big bucks”.

Finally, someone who gets my idea of math.

Hosting your own video on your own storage and network bill is not free. If you don’t believe me, go try doing it yourself.

I know this is true but why do I see so many people on lemmy pushing for self-hosting and even talking about it like its some low rent hobby?

my feed should be all art videos then but its not. They throw in shit that I never look at.

Instagram reels never does this to me btw. I never really stray from watching speed paints/drawing tutorials/artist reels so that’s what I see.

I like them for speed painting/drawing

I hate that I get such random shit in my feed when I really only look at art videos - like my scrolling should be nothing but people drawing but random shit like slime videos or some ass hat and his kid.

Everyone rejoiced NASA’s return to space

not me but whatever.

read it in Gilbert Gottfried’s voice.

I’m sad that clipart and wordart are fading into obscurity but at least there is enough nostalgia for it that it isn’t forgotten.

I prefer it not be this way.

I kind of hate getting replies here and I can tell the person I’m talking to isn’t paying attention to who in the thread they are talking to. It’s like people aren’t seeing each other as people.

Same. I hate how often I have to block them.

I even wrote into tumblr staff and they acknowledged it was an issue in the ticket but won’t say anything publicly which is annoying.

You can eat lava… but only once.

lol my city has several libraries which aren’t book stores.

That’s not a “whataboutism” though. I’m saying they are the same.

Still frozen. I want it to melt in my mouth not down my hand.

gotta go local.

I never get ice cream from fast food chains.

BTW “what about-ism” is a logical fallacy. You’re creating a false equivalence to argue a point disingenuously.

Did you mean to respond to me? I’m not the other person you responded to. And I didn’t give a “what aboutism” which I’m familiar with that term from reddit.
