The captain and inventor is betting his life and reputation on it!

I’m happy to help, I’ve been a reddit and FB mod for years and am doing my best to be active here.

It was ok and I met one person there but I prefer okcupid personally. Hinge seems decent.

I’m willing to kick in a few bucks a month to keep my favorite stuff online, what I object to is when someone is making millions and they put the screws to us in order to make billions. I’m ok with paying my way, not with getting some ass a third Porsche.

Ahh no I access Lemmy via the mobile app. Thanks for the information, I’ll be blocking them.

If you still have excess wax you can of course use a tissue or something to clean your outer ear, but yeah sticking hard objects in your ear canal isn’t great.

That said I’m a qtip fanatic

I have to wonder what absolute psychopath would put milk, then boiling water, then a teabag into a cup and consider the result drinkable. I’ve made that mistake… once.

Ah, the macchiato of alcohol

So far Reddit seems to have avoided getting into a lot of trouble by not really hosting images itself much (this is changing, as is imgur’s policies) and by being mostly NOT for it so it doesn’t get noticed. Making an instance for the purpose invites a ton of scrutiny and liability that few people want to deal with. That said nothing’s stopping anyone from spinning up their own instance.

Edit: apparently lemmygrad is much worse than I realized

The only caveat I have to this is that being communist shouldn’t be an automatic block. Lemmy.ml doesn’t block lemmygrad and I see no reason why it should, the posts I see are like “wow capitalism is fucking us up” not like “Tiananmen did nothing wrong and let’s repeat it x1000” so it really doesn’t seem comparable to proactively blocking Nazis. If you block “both sides” of a violent conflict like, say, the war in Ukraine, you’ve suddenly blocked everyone with a useful opinion.
