I guess the Canadian being so measured must be that 4th route, Mass. 😜

Only REAL men stare at butts! And women. And aliens. And androids. And holograms. And sentient spaceships. And… okay I guess a lot of things do - consensually, of course!!

Still not a… hrm 🤔 wait, actually uh… 🤯

Oh! I had no idea that I had done the same until you said this… ! 🤣

Cut off one head, and another rises to take its place…

Compliance will be rewarded. Don’t you want to comply?

Maybe the Changelings from DS9 took care of them quietly?

Or else time shenanigans! 🤔

I worry whether I should create a Facebook account just in case I need it for this reason… but then I remember that I’m not that desperate! (Though I will not judge anyone else who is.)

“3”

Technically this is also not a pipe.

Lord of all gays? 🤣

They moved on to life #10 😂

Yeah, so? 😘

Use Arch Linux btw? And hate capitalism, obviously 😜.

Beyond that… I mostly use it as an RSS reader for comics and memes, and an occasional conversation with humans.

I hear that was a good one, but never tried it. Maybe I am confusing it with another one (like Connect and/or Sync, though I historically have not cared about 3rd-party apps) but I thought it wasn’t being updated for a long time - yet its last update was just last month so not a worry now (if it ever was)!

Unlike polished social media that has an incentive to sell ads to more people hence cares that you can scroll forever without wanting to stop, this place leaves it up to you to shape your own experience.

Block people, communities, and even whole entire instances that you don’t want to see (the latter is significantly easier using PieFed than Lemmy, plus it adds e.g. keyword filters, anti-AI measures, ability to filter also based on post flairs, etc.).

Lemmy.World and my home instance Discuss.Online both federate with fed.brid.gy, but I’ve never once seen any content from there and from everything that I read it seems that federation is more or less irrelevant here - necessary but nowhere close to sufficient to make the interconnection happen.

That icon is much more noticeable using the web browser UI, appearing next to every post and every comment (clicking it goes to the home instance where the content came from), though 3rd-party apps substitute that with their own provided experience.

Like iirc Voyager has it upon the app startup but it’s grey not colored like this, and I don’t typically start Voyager from scratch but rather just pop it back up for as long as possible, so that startup screen is rarely visited.

Oh neat! Or… I guess not, as you said 🤣 - either way it’s good to know! 😉

Haha good point, no need to overthink the calculation. :-P

Though the discovery that this anti-feature was even implemented in the first place is a much higher concern. This “feature” itself is one thing, but the lack of transparency surrounding it is a whole other matter on top.

Ah, thank you for sharing your experience there. So it’s possible but difficult, like Mastodon (where behavior is also inconsistent) - good to know! I should probably stop listing nodeBB as a major player in the Threadiverse then.
