I get it.
I’m not a dude or a parent… but these jokes are so stupid and clever and wholesome, they’re a simple breath of fresh air in a complicated, smoggy world.
Never understood why they’re referred to as “dad jokes” but then again I never had one, so w/e. They’re great and I’m here for them.
lemmy.ca has blocked it too.
good eggs, those admins.
Beans… beans everywhere…
Sweet. Lemme see when you’re done!
Yeah, that’s the good stuff 😁
easy enough!
Ragebait. It's boring and pointless, and it brings out the worst in everyone. I never understood the appeal of being a "troll" though, so idk.
Something else I don't miss, and maybe this is a little more personal, but often when I would try to participate in a conversation, my comment would get auto-removed for some rule/etiquette based reason I could never really wrap my head around. Like, derailing? I thought I knew what that meant, but had comments removed when I was like, "yeah that answer really resonates with me too! My 123 is xyz."
Lemmy so far has been much more welcoming to the neurodiverse and I appreciate the organic, freeflowing nature of conversation here.
Obviously, if someone's being provocatively hateful / an obvious troll, then nuke 'em.
But if people are just trying to join in on the conversation, don't be a pedantic dick about exactly what kind of conversation is allowed. It had gotten to the point where I was afraid to comment at all for fear I'd be doing it wrong.
Yeah for me, the only draw back to reddit is in its history. There is a wealth of knowledge in those archives, and when I’m looking for balanced and useful answers from actual people (without affiliate links or bot-generated seo bs, or being “marked as duplicate” of another post with 13yr out of date answers lol) it was the best source for the longest time.
Used to be, anyway.
We’ll get there, we just haven’t had the time yet.
When I do open an r/ link that answers my question now, I’m doing it with their tracking, “features” & ads fully locked & blocked, then dipping right back out again. They really ruined a good thing.
Oh good, they’re making it slightly bigger 🙄
No mention and probably no hope of a new mini.
Heck.
Oh I like this idea.
Friday I’ll be Dead by Erik Sumo
It’s chill and atmospheric, a bit psychedelic, and really shines with some high quality headphones. Rich sound with lots of layers, but with a nice stripped down retro sort of feel.
