I don’t think that this is unpopular, even if I agree with you. Not even in real life; often those in power try to associate work with positive things, and yet the actual workers see it as a mockery.

Cue to the Latin word tripalium (a torture device) ending as the word for “work” in plenty Romance languages; or to the Nazi “Arbeit macht Frei” (work makes freedom) on concentration camps.

I recently had to go through this maze. I hate it. And I’m glad that my PCs tend to live ~10y, this means that I’m not doing it again in the foreseeable future.

Guinea pigs perhaps? I didn’t post them because capy represents them as Caviidae.

They are, just like guinea pigs (their smaller relative). It’s just that the bauplan is rather close to a pig - stubby legs, roundy body, stubby tail.

I guess that just like non-crustacean peak performance is to become crab-like, mammal peak performance is to become pig-like? Cats*, humans, dogs, we’ll eventually get porcinised!

*except my cat. She’s a Schweinekatze (pig-cat) so she’s already pig-like.

We are the only ones who put people into boxes……lol. I don’t think so.

Please do not put words into my mouth. In no moment I said or even implied that only Americans put people into boxes.

Upvoted as unpopular.

I feel like Americans handle heritage in a really weird way, as if it was the main (sometimes, sole) component of identity. In a way that I don’t see people in other places doing - not even places with heavy immigration, such as here in the Southern Cone.

Often putting those people into boxes. And expecting them to behave as someone who belongs to that box.

Capybara:

I’ve added all of them to the list, thanks!

Regarding !news@beehaw.org, now there’s an alternative there.

It must be an app issue then. (Certainly not an instance issue, as Mothra is in the same instance as I do.)

Just to be safe I’m going to convert the thing into a bullet points list.

Nah, there were just LG and .ml, as OpenStars said. Technically HB too but they didn’t federate due to technical limitations.

That’s weird - are you accessing lemmy through a browser, or some app?

Check if it works here: !funny@sh.itjust.works

If it does then it’s the table interacting weirdly with the links, I can fix it by removing the table.

Yup, they are both shitty, and grounds to remove an admin.

However when it’s a single event there’s still the chance that it won’t happen again, as the admin could regret it. There’s still grounds for “this won’t affect me, as a user, in the future”.

And when it’s both, as you said, it gets even worse.

Ah, typical lemmy.ml . They have a hard time understanding that you can support a certain ideology without necessarily turning a blind eye to everything that people claim to be doing for the sake of said ideology, or that any criticism against their actions is automatically false.

I remember you, by the way. You were already an old Lemmy user when I joined in, 3y ago!

Added to the list.

It isn’t a high mark, I agree. But while the “kill you are self lol.” thing could be just an admin in a really shitty day, this lack of transparency is consistent behaviour.

Ah, they do it now? When I signed up there (~3y ago) there was no such thing.

Anyway, it’s still a problem because most users interacting with .ml content are from other instances.

Yeah, it should be easier to grow ten communities about the same topic than one.

Yeah, because people don’t totally cross-post stuff all the time, or subscribe to multiple comms around the same topic.

If you want to grow other instances, do it with unique stuff, not stuff .world already has. It’s not like there no room left.

If you’re that pissed that I’m not listing .world comms, to the point of trying to boss me around (see emphasis on imperative), you can list yourself those comms. With blackjack and hookers.

Do something other than trying to kill the dozen successful Lemmy communities we do have.

Okay, full stop here. Cut off the crap - in no moment I’m trying to “kill” those communities in .world, and you’re being a disingenuous liar (or worse, a bloody moron) for claiming otherwise.

Not going to waste my time further with you.

Added to the list - thanks!

It is not enough; it should be explicit. Users should be able to know the rules of an instance before they even interact with it.

Nobody is throwing eggs out. I’m recommending one basket instead of another, that’s it.
