Fallen enemies also have a much lower carbon footprint than not-yet-fallen enemies.

It’s just inflation. The value of a dollar in 2036 is a lot less than now.

If this is how Lemmy is ran then I will need to find another community

Lemmy is not ran in any particular way.

That’s one community one one instance. On most instances, anyone can create a community and become the god of what is allowed there. That doesn’t mean it’s representative of the rest of that instance. But even if it is, you can post to other communities on other instances.

There is one mod on one community doing something dodgy (or just got a report about it being antisemitic and assumed they were right - after all, there’s no training course for being a lemmy mod). This is certainly not the way “lemmy is ran” and thinking lemmy is run in any particular way is missing the core aspect of what lemmy is.

I fix spelling mistakes once someone replied because that’s when I come back and see my comment again and notice the spelling mistake.

Lemmy posts also show they are edited.

Though I never wrote that I fixed a typo on reddit either. Only stating the edit if it was adding info or changing something.

In the past, governments didn’t have inflation targets. The black friday event involved the government flooding the gold market, dramatically reducing the value of gold. At the time the value of a dollar was directly tied to the value of gold. In hyper-inflation events (that don’t often happen in developed countries but do still happen in some countries around the world), inflation may be 50% or 100% or 200%. Sometimes way more.

These days (the last 30 or 40 years), inflation and gold have been decoupled, and instead the government has a target range of approx 1-3% inflation (depending on your exact government, but if you’re in a developed country then it is probably close). This was intended as a target that would allow businesses to have some certainty and was low so they could ignore inflation in their forecasts. The original target range was 0-2% set in New Zealand, but as it spread around the world it got slightly adjusted to a 1-3% range.

The governments now try to directly control inflation by changing the cost of borrowing money. You might have recently had inflation hit as much as 9%, but this is nothing like what happened in the old days.

I normally use the lastpass username generator, though fair warning, they will try to sell you lastpass.

Christmas things stay in December but I’ll buy hot cross buns any time of the year, if I can find them.

Yeah, the lastpass one does random letters with options such as being pronouncable.

Based on my feed, I’m gonna say panel 4.

@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

Does it? As far as I can tell, the only option is for a random word, which isn’t really the same.

@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

No, I don’t use lastpass at all. Just the username generator.

Yeah but my mother in law makes some beautifully potent aged eggnog and so storebought just isn’t on my shopping list even at christmas.

Sure! It’s on the decentralised chat platform Matrix, which has heaps of lemmy stuff. If you need further instructions, feel free to ask 🙂

Yes, there’s fediseer that can help with that sort of thing. However, I think if it wasn’t spam, it may not get noticed as quick as you’d think. Create a lemmy.world account, post a meme, and use your special server to throw 50 or 100 upvotes at it, and probably no one would realise.
