Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

I’m not complaining.

Glances at some of the stuff I mod

Yup. Nah. I’m fine with this.

Yes. In photos you appreciate the physical effort. In drawings you appreciate the artistic talent. Both inspire, but for a different thing.

But also, abs are abs.

You gotta add the instance they are on.

Gotta love Lemmy still being small enough to run into the same users.

Keep up the posting, you have excellent taste.

Do not post pictures of humans online who cannot consent to you doing so.

I’m so happy my parents never got into social media before my adulthood. There was some overlap there where they could have plastered images of me all over their facebook feeds without my understanding what that meant.

It’s fucking revolting to me to see how normal some people seem to think it is for a parent to do that. IMO it should be straight up illegal and a violation of a child’s right to privacy.

Sharing your life, and thereby sometimes the lifes of your children, with friends and family, only makes sense.

My concern is with parents who make no distinction between that, and posting something fully publicly. The latter means the post can go viral, or get screenshotted by a stranger and reposted as a meme somewhere with a huge audience. Or get dug up by anyone, even years later.

100%

Having your entire infancy and childhood just out there is going to be hell for some kids. Probably already is. Imagine your parents uploading a video of you doing something dumb, but cute, something they and family find adorable. The same video which a couple years later is the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to you when it goes through a viral wave of spreading throughout your local school.

The first sentence on ibuprofens wikipedia page under “Medical uses”:

Ibuprofen is used primarily to treat fever

Anti-inflammatories reduce fevers, are there even anti-inflammatories that don’t have that effect to some extent?

Nevermind that Tylenol’s effective ingredient is paracetamol, which is also “just” an anti-inflammatory.

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

Huh. I didn’t know that either.

Apologies. I do think making it sting a little when correcting someone on something they should have double checked, is warranted, if for no other reason than to make it clear to others reading which take to go home with.

But in response to your edit I’ve softened my correction as well.

I’m hesitant to offer as I already have so many feathers in my hat, but I can at least be one more set of eyes that can and act on reports if you find no-one else.

You’d have to mod my ani.social account in order for me to get the reports, ofc. But get back to me if I end being the only one who raises a hand, otherwise go with someone else first.

That would be so horrible, oh no.

I don’t get it.

Maybe. Or, like most users, they are aware that “fediverse” refers to the ActivityPub network as a whole, as well as adjacent networks such as matrix and diaspora.

When I say fediverse, I don’t mean Lemmy. If I want to refer to the part of the fediverse we are using, Lemmy/Kbin, I say threadiverse. It’s just one corner of the network.

I have no interest in the twitter format for social media, but people who do and enjoy mastodon, have just as much right to be excited about federation and what it can do for social media.

What I don’t understand, is why make this meme? Neither Lemmy nor Mastodon, is “the fediverse”. Only together, do they become a “universe” of federated instances, and even disparate platforms, which yet interoperate.

A Mastodon user who says they love the fediverse, likely loves it for the same reasons a Lemmy, Kbin, Friendica, Pixelfed, or MissKey user does. Where’s the joke?

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

Kbin’s federation has been hit or miss a lot. It’s not that we forget you, a lot of the time, you don’t show up.

That will hopefully improve as Kbin matures.

I doesn’t matter which platform is a users point of contact. I don’t think a lot of users miss the point that “fediverse” refers to all the platforms their platforms communicate with, together. Not just their platform.

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

It’s not funny.

The primary interpretation is that you’re looking down on mastodon and it’s users in general. Not merely poking fun at an ignorant few.

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

I’m not referring to the intentional disabling of federation, but that kbin has had technical issues even after that which has made federation to and from lemmy instances intermittent.

Let me teach you the ways of “making an account” and “configuring a tag-blacklist”

!murdermoe is just me low-key wishing r/yandere existed on Lemmy.
