Milk if you are lactose intolerant.

flint5436,

My stomach rumbled just reading the word lol

Smoogs, in I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?

It’s ok. He/she/them will understand that people do poop. They aren’t worth it if they can’t Accept this

godless, in Does anyone else feel extremely annoyed when things are even slightly imperfect?

Just create issues on github, that way the devs will see them, and hopefully someone will address it eventually.

This!

Coding isn't for everyone, but sometimes you can get involved in a coding project just by contributing good suggestions/bug reports to github.

Be thoughtful about how you report things - if you're reporting a bug, add as much detail as you can to help the devs recreate it; if you're suggesting a feature, make a solid case for why the application might benefit from it, think about potential issues it might solve (or cause), consider how you might address users who don't want that feature (make optional).

It is extremely satisfying to see an issue you've reported get fixed or a feature you've suggested get implemented. It gives you a stake in the project, something you won't often get on the corporate-owned platforms.

yeah that feeling, it’s better than drugs, it’s so amazing

What if I aim low? Like, "please include the letter c in your next commit"? Will that hit hard enough? Or should I go for a whole word? Come on, I need this!

Sikeen,

it’s kind of exponential, so you have to aim for the maximum of minimal effort!

Barbarian, in What's the mob policy on Emojis here on the fediverse?
@Barbarian@sh.itjust.works avatar

This is a pretty bizarre question to me personally.

First of all, we don't have to do anything. If you mean you were wondering if people will lynch you for using emojis, no clue. Try it and find out.

Second of all, the whole "build my personality to fit in" is exactly backwards. The whole point of the fediverse, instances, etc is that you find a community to fit you, not the other way around.

Third of all, this isn't Reddit with tens of thousands of comments making anything more than a "yes" or "no" irrelevant. People actually have the time and space to consider things and answer them more fully here when there's less spam.

Finally, the whole idea of a "mob policy" sounds concerning.

InEnduringGrowStrong,

Unrelated noob question, on my end I see your full user: @Barbarian're on different instances, fine.
But there's other people from sh.itjust.works in this thread and it only shows the first half of their handle, like Jakylla and Bernie Ecclestoned.

My guess is they have a display name setup and you don't?

Barbarian,

My guess is they have a display name setup and you don’t?

Yup! That's exactly what's happening. I intentionally haven't set one up, because gotta rep my home instance :P

InEnduringGrowStrong,
@InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works avatar

Makes sense.
I even have an account on yours already and is actually the first one I made.
Choosing an instance has been the most awkward part yet. More easily accessible info on instances' admins, hosting situation, funding, etc. might help.

My first visit was very confusing because I tried browsing a community that had just defederated us, which really isn't too obvious as a noob. I registered on lemm.ee to see what beehaw was even about, and I'm going back and forth between the two homes trying to choose.

I very much like the /c/agora idea on sh.itjust.works so I'm definitely sticking around.
I think an important part is getting to know your instance's admin as a person, and I haven't really taken the time to do that.
See ya around

Barbarian,
@Barbarian@sh.itjust.works avatar

Completely agree. Funding and hosting situation are still very much in flux for most instances, and most instances are so new that admins haven't really had the time to figure out exactly how they want to run and organise things yet. Everything is very much in flux.

These are problems I think will go away naturally as things stabilize and clearer community identities, fundraising methods and organizational norms start forming.

InEnduringGrowStrong,

Second of all, the whole “build my personality to fit in” is exactly backwards.

Yea, I feel like the fediverse is what we make of it. Trying to fake it for a social net sounds sad.
If OP likes emoji, emoji away 🚀🌕
I think your take is a good one even outside of social media.
Be yourself! (Assuming you're not a serial killer I guess)

notacat,

Based on how well the post was written contrasted with their claimed lack of thought processes I’m going to go out on a limb and say it was half tongue in cheek. But also I agree with not answering just yes or no.

MacroCyclo, in Unconventional Food for a 3-Day Pooping Marathon?"

It’s been like two days and we already have inside jokes. Loving it.

aragon, in Unconventional Food for a 3-Day Pooping Marathon?"

Ripe bananas.

NetHandle, in Why do bots try to join instances?

It's marketing, it's propaganda, it's psyops. Influencing what posts make it to the front page, what posts stay in hot, what opinions get upvoted or downvoted just to make them look popular or unpopular. Mass reporting for posts that offend them. Having entirely fake, scripted conversations to convey points in a more trusted manner in order to influence the reader.

Remember, nobody is immune propaganda.

VoxAdActa, in What do you think of people making memes/jokes about the recent Titan tragedy?
@VoxAdActa@kbin.social avatar

When it comes to tragedies, the number of fucks I give for the victims follows a simple formula.

I start with a billion fucks. Then I subtract the combined net worth of the people affected by the tragedy. The result is how many fucks I give about their tragedy.

For this one, I'm at about negative three billion fucks.

Ministar, in How do we feel about Meta joining the Fediverse?

People are being really hypocritical.

You want a free open source social network. But when people you dont like join it, you hate it. That is not how it works, its not how FREE in FOSS works.

Meta can join, they can do whatever they want. It literally the point of this social network. If you dont like it, then go to a social network that is not FOSS, but is heavily moderated, because that is what most of you really want.

HandOfDoom,

"Freedom" can be used to justify lots of really bad stuff. Meta has too much money to be trusted, they WILL fuck the Fediverse up eventually for more profit on the first chance they get (and people with lots of money always get those chances).

And it's not just about morality and the fucked up stuff that's happened on Meta, Iike the Cambridge Analytica scandal. I stopped using Facebook years ago because of the low quality of the content being posted there. And last week I logged back in to sell some stuff and oh boy, the content managed to get even worse.

I don't want growth just for the sake of growth. We don't need big corporations getting involved.

They are free to set up an instance. Not sure who would federate with them.

fubo, in How do we feel about Meta joining the Fediverse?
SuperIce,

Is that necessary though? I feel like we should let them join. If they do something malicious, then we can block them. IMO, it doesn't make sense to just preemptively block them for no real reason.

Cynosure,

It is wholly necessary. They will start massive data mining operations if they join, harming users of all instances.

bric,

Data mining can happen without any of that, everything you post in the fediverse is literally available for anyone to see. Realistically, the most harm they can do is build controlled communities that grow so huge that they drown out all of the fediverse's open communities.

Look at what happened with Google Chrome and browser standards. We don’t want a company that dominates the landscape changing the rules in their favour.

BrainisfineIthink,
@BrainisfineIthink@lemmy.one avatar

Your most harm scenario is exactly what they want to do.

TrinityTek,

They've demontrated their evil nature in the past, promoting divisive and inciteful material and anything to drive engagement for the sake of advertiser dollars. I don't think we need to wait for them to do it again in the Fediverse. Better to head that shit off right up front.

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. Microsoft did it before, we shouldn't let Meta do it now.

Zappy, in "Connect" for Lemmy app - anyone tried it yet?

So far I'm into Connect, nice modern interface, uses my Material You theming and very close to what I was using before for Reddit. Very solid
