Posts can include photos, as long as that is not the sole purpose of the post.

I disagree with this rule. Please retract it. If someone just wants to post pictures of their pets, I want to see those pictures. It doesn’t have to be the only acceptable content, but it SHOULD be acceptable content!

Oh, it’s bullshit. It’s a bunch of cockfucking bullshit.

You’re sitting, waiting for the bus, trying to look down the street to see if you notice the bus coming. What do you see instead? White. Just an all encompassing blinding white light which just consumes all reality and everything you’re experiencing right now.

NOW how am I supposed to know if I should be getting my bus pass out? Also, 50% chance my retinas were just singed to a crisp.

No it doesn’t. It could be Ted Danson. And I assume Ted Danson doesn’t even know about the fediverse.

Done! (And by that I mean I subbed)

I never heard of explodingheads. Why did everyone block it?

What’s wrong with hilariouschaos.com?

What even IS your username???

Was anyone else expecting it to be /u/ SatansMaggotyCumFart based on the title?

Well yeah. How else are you going to punt on 4th down, and kick field goals?

…I can’t tell if I’m so old I don’t know the new words the kids are using, or if you just had a stroke. “Spotted” is a word. I understand the emoticon…the rest could just have easily been a really big sneeze sound.

No. Decentralization is not inherently a good thing. The OPTION of decentralization is a good thing.

The power of Lemmy isn’t the fact thzt it’s so fractured. That in itself isn’t a selling point.

The selling point is that IF a community is problematic, you have the OPTION of fragmenting away from the toxic behavior.

But until a community proves itself to need an alternative, fragmenting only serves to HURT the fediverse. Not help.

One community with 50 users is 10x more powerful than 5 replica communities with 10 users each.

You fool! You’ve doomed us all!

Well I’M cancelling potatos. Chicken is literally EVERY meal for me at this point.

So my vote cancels your vote, and now we’re at net neutral.

If anyone can be a mod…would that not mean I become a mod, I remove you, anyone can be a mod, so you become a mod, you remove me, and then the last person standing is whomever finds this as a dead community years from now after everyone gets bored?

Pretty sure you can personally defederate. That’s what I’ve been told, anyways.

I haven’t tried, since I’ve yet to find a community that offends me. I want to find an instance that refuses to defederate from anyone. I want to see ALL of Lemmy.

Have you ever seen Statler and Waldorf? Some people enjoy disliking things.

Oh no! A community that isn’t political, or news, or linux, or technology!!!

Heavens to Betsie!

Which, at this point is the whole appeal over reddit. The ability to not have supermods who control an entire platform. And the ability to call out shitty behavior from mods.
