Whelp…boo-urns. :(

OOTL and someone who only uses a vm once every several years for shits & grins: What happened to vmware?

Well I wish you luck in finding what you’re looking for, but Lemmy/Kbin by definition isn’t it.

Any community that isn’t 100% fully owned and operated by you, yourself, Mango, is going to run into the risk of a mod ‘censoring’ or deleting something that you wanna see.

Any and every community. Here, Reddit, Facebook, any social media, any forum public or private. If you yourself don’t own and run it in its entirely, that’s a problem you cannot avoid.

So I mean this without any real intended offense but: shit or get off the pot. Run your own community that connects to no other system or service run by other people and hope the people you wanna talk to drop by, or tbh get used to it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Can revenge-downvote me all you want Pepsi but I’m right on this one lol.

I know right? Magical!

You can, it’s called hosting your own instance. It’s literally one of the points of the Fediverse (i.e. ‘Fuck you I don’t like how you’re running things, I’ll go make my own with blackjack and hookers’). If an instance admin does things you don’t like, you get to leave, go to a new instance, and follow the same communities you did before via that one instead.

Fair!

I find it funny any time I check Reddit and see the people complaining in the comments. ‘Whats going on with Reddit lately?’, ‘Why are there so many bots and so much spam as of late?’.

Memories of gerbils I swear, we fuckin’ told you this was gonna happen. How are these simpletons surprised?! (I know I answered my own question there lol).

If only :(

Lotta words to justify people being turned on by the sight of the underaged.

I’d really like an algorithm (optional, of course). Getting content you want to see is really difficult. It’s hard to find people to follow, and when you do you get all of their posts in your feed, not just the ones you want to see.

Make sure you are following hashtags if you aren’t. Follow people to get everything they post. Follow hashtags and you’ll just get interest based posts (since pretty much everyone hashtags the shit out of their posts for visibility).

Why is it 5 spaces at the end of a line to make a new line

I just hit enter/return twice.

Like that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Never bothered with 5 spaces.

1. Use paragraphs, please.

2. Wrong community. Clearly.

Fucking nutters.

As another person in Ontario who uses both bagged and jug milk: you’re doing something wrong or buying milk that’s at the expiration date and it’s blowing. What you’re describing has never happened to me after 40 years on the planet lol.

I go to Facebook nowadays for 3 reasons:

A) Post memes to give my friends a smile or chuckle.
B) Check on a group or two (50% of the time related to memes also lol.
C) Someone messaged me.

If I want news, I go the same places I’ve already been using for 20+ years and it aint Facebook.

Couldn’t tell you myself. Outside of 10-15 second unexpected intervals, I haven’t used anything but old reddit since before it was old reddit, so I couldn’t tell you how it is compared to the previous one.

Can 100% tell you the web-based-mobile site is pure unadulterated artificially-slowed ass.

Yeah it’s much better than the one we had for the last however-many-years.

Don’t get me wrong, I still think it’s hot asswater compared to old reddit, but at least it seems more functional.
