Beans are high in fiber. Fiber helps you poop. Check mate?

 

One thing I'm missing on kbin versus Beehaw is that when I'm looking at comments, I can't quickly discern what instance a person is coming from. I have to hover over them on desktop or click into their profile on mobile to tell. This can be an important piece of information in interacting, since it can tell you if the person is on the same instance as you or if they're coming from a particular context (lemmygrad or a troll or right-wing community, for example).

I know kbin originally wasn't federated so this wasn't an issue but now that it is, it would be really useful to have as a setting or a default now. Thanks for your consideration!

This is so beautiful and it makes me ache.

A former T_D mod messaged /r/aww announcing that he intended to take over their community. Can you imagine what would happen if these bigots got their hands on 10m+ subs? Spez is just empowering the most out of touch, angry dissenters to take control of some of the most high profile communities. It won't go well for him.

I like it, but I also can see some issues with it where communities grouped together may have different rules and standards for posts or comments. Even on kbin it's hard to see what instance a user or thread is coming from so keeping track of multiple rule sets across domains could be tricky.

I sort of agree, but I also know that as Lemmy becomes more popular, defederating will become necessary as trolls and hate groups open instances. It's a problem on Mastodon. A trans friend there posted about her experience bra shopping and a bunch of transphobes from other Mastodon servers came in to attack her, including an admin of one server who called her a slur and told her to stop reporting because they'd never remove anything hateful towards trans people.

On a centralized service like Reddit, hate subs can just be quarantined by the admins or removed wholesale. With a decentralized service, every instance will need to defederate those groups to keep them out. There's no way to bar them from making a new server.

By any chance are you autistic? Many autistic people report that sedatives and stimulants have opposite effects for them, with sedatives leaving them wired and stimulants leading to them becoming tired. I had a similar issue with benedryl as a kid.

For some reason your links aren't working for me, they all go to 404 pages.

Or your incentive to IPO so you can get stock. Reddit doesn't have any yet and Huffman's getting huffy over it.

Try Dorfromantik. It's a hexagonal puzzle game where you build a map using different tiles and connecting like with like. Very relaxing, doesn't require sounds or full attention.

Iirc, the entire team is dissenting. No one wanted to open back up, they were forced to by Reddit threatening their kneecaps.

There's so much content that it's a muenster to keep up with!

I like just getting to try on a new identity. Didn't need to go for a short/common word name. I wanted something different than what I was using before. This fits.
