Have you thought to see what other things are in the same category (IARC 2B) before contributing to the misinformation? It includes such "noxious" things as aloe vera and working as a carpenter or dry cleaner. It's basically meaningless other than "there is a small body of weak evidence suggesting it may have some effect on cancer and we think there should be more research".

also, telling someone they should feel bad and stupid (along with the other language you used) is a bit rough for a discussion on artificial sweeteners

Nope, sorry. If you're a moron contributing to health misinformation you deserve the abuse you get. Too many good people died because of them - I don't even care if you're stupid or malicious anymore, I have no patience for either.

I have particular contempt for OP jUsT aSkInG qUeStIoNs with their "Make of that what you will". It's cowardly, slimy and shameful - if you're going to be an idiot at least have the conviction to stand by it.

That doesn’t scream “easy” to me.

I can't tell if you're taking the piss or you genuinely think 10 seconds of effort is "hard".

If anything, I think LJ missed a trick by not having the option of doing a double subscription (so £3.99), and saying the extra £2 gets split between the instances, weighted by the time you spend time on them.

I think I might have felt differently at a stage of my life where I didn't have nearly as much disposable income as I do now.

Over the past few years, I've adopted the attitude of trying my hardest to pay for the things that I would be genuinely disappointed if they went away.

I have system-wide ad block, so the $20 or whatever for Sync actually bought me nothing other than the knowledge that if LJ decides to pack up Sync and go and work for a FAANG instead, I don't need to feel guilty.

This attitude would be unrecognisable to my younger self.

There is seemingly no easy way to synchronise settings over accounts. This makes initial setup with multiple accounts frustrating, and future changes a little annoying.

Set up account -> Backup -> Switch to new account -> Restore

In that you know to avoid the weirdo in the corner wearing a "Ask me why I know morse code" t-shirt at the party?

Tl;dr Italy invented the pizza but the US invented the pizzeria.

What's your thinking there? Are you getting hay-fever symptoms just from being inside? That's brutal.

Easy mistake.

Don't try to log into lemmy.world - you don't have an account there. You have an account at feddit.uk, so log into that and then search for the community you want through the feddit.uk search. Use the search term "!gunners@lemmy.world" if you're struggling.

Basically, you'll only ever sign into feddit.uk, but that can reach out to other communities(subreddits) on other instances.

I first started browsing reddit in late 2011 and even by then it felt a little like I was arriving at a party that had already been going a while and people had their in-jokes and cliques (to a way lesser extent than today).

In the best possible way, Lemmy/kbin feels a lot like we all arrived early and the host is still running around trying to make sure everything's ready.
