Australia also, South West corner. Water is fine to drink, I just don't like the taste. We collect rain water instead - heaps of that.
The bulk of reddit has already gone back to reddit.
Don't get me wrong, lemmy is great just the way it is. We don't need a continued influx from reddit (although lets see what happens on 1 July).
Quantum Radio by A.G. Riddle.
Similar style to Bobiverse books. I dig it. Listening on audiobookshelf too!
What about bots to talk to the bots thought?
syntax error, malformed JSON.
You're right in a way, but I think you're applying a narrow definition of "opinion" when I think most people ITT are thinking about "behaviours".
Sure, it's not great to exclude dissenting political opinions, the intolerance paradox being a notable exception. That said, I'm not here to discuss politics.
Say for example that some users will do anything for fake internet points - post anything, say anything, there behaviour is guided by the pursuit of karma and building some kind of following. Other users will do anything for engagement, whatever it takes to get others to engage with them including trolling. I'm happy enough for these types of users to find more rewarding platforms elsewhere. Note that's different to excluding them, it's just being a part of a place that isn't fertile ground for their fixations.
This sounds fantastic to me.
It's pretty much what happened on mastodon with the twitter-storm in November.
Huge influx of new users, about a third hung around - but it was the third who were the most like-minded.
I agree. If lemmy continues to grow, inevitably some servers will be shit, but I imagine there will be other non-federated or less-federated instances. beehaw has already started down that path.
Trolls are generally looking for maximum carnage, so I imagine there's less incentive / reward posting somewhere like lemmy.
I think this is something reddit users generally have a hard time grasping about lemmy, including myself.
One of the fundamentals of the fediverse is that there will be communities with the same name on different instances. Users can subscribe to good ones and / unsubscribe from bad ones as they wish.
This is happening all over reddit.
Mods are posting all over the place saying "I have to bend over for the admins because if I don't they'll find someone else who will".
You do you but honestly I find this a bit weird. As an unpaid volunteer you don't have to do anything. Just resign. Reddit's not about to die but it's best days are in the past. I wouldn't want to be a part of the future of reddit.
They really are. For me they're the books by which all others are measured.
I'm somewhat unsettled by book 4, heaven's river. I think the interesting concepts of the premise have been more or less exhausted in the first 3 books. I suspect that anything coming after will be more or less "things happening in that universe" rather than investigating that universe.
I don't begrudge an author continuing a series - it's guaranteed success after all. But in the ideal sense it would've been nice if the first three books had have stood alone.
Is this really true?
Twilio is the biggest sms back end and it's like $10 per number month or something.
