Doesn’t really look like Ghibli at all to be honest

I’ve seen a few but fortunately they’re rare and they are often downvoted or ignored

I much much prefer the niche community here. Much less shit to have to wade through (see: came here to say this x 100000 per post) to get to the good comments and posts

oh…

Oh yes, but I really really fuckin hate it

Ok champ

I wouldn’t stop using Lemmy because of “user profiles”, but this was one of the worst things implemented by Reddit. Basically started the slide into Facebook-tier

We’re always trying to explain too much. This won’t get a casual person to join.

Fediverse is literally just a group of websites where everyone can see each other website’s posts. Pick any one and join and you’ll see everything.

The nuances and intricacies are irrelevant to get someone through the door.

In hindsight a smaller canvas might have made it a bit busier, but I’ll tell you what: I’m impressed the effort has been translated over from rPlace. Run this one again in a year or so and I can imagine it being way more popular.

I reckon after all is said and done, the biggest issue I had with Reddit is that people felt they had to be heard. Like, we just needed to know that you also thought that certain thing (“came here to say this”) or that you are morally superior to everyone else (“oh but I don’t do it that way OP”). It’s 90% of the reason the content on Reddit had deteriorated, because people crave the attention, and thus the imaginary number going up.

Now I’m not saying Lemmy is different. In fact, I fully expect it to go the same way. But right now, there are far fewer people here who just have to give their opinion (I see the irony), and therefore less shit to wade through to get to actually good content.

As an example, look at the top comment on any default sub post on Reddit. It will have heaps and heaps of replies that are just valueless crap. This is what makes Reddit seem “faster” than Lemmy. The reality is that most of it is fluff, most of it is irrelevant to you.

I misread this as “I am Autism”

I’m not convinced that this is a problem that needs to be solved. The value of the federation is that your data is fleeting and not guaranteed. I’m not sure why anyone in the federation needs to guarantee the existence of your data long term.

That feel when I miss all the fun in Australia because I was asleep

Jeez I’m not that old

Where wallpaper?

I fuckin love this place

I have never read a YouTube comment in my whole life that has ever demonstrated any value to anyone or anything ever
