Did you really... forget the beans already??

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 year ago

Beans? I was here for strategies on how not to poop for three days

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

damn that was annoying for a few days

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Can we have something like multireddits please"

"Can someone explain how the Fediverse works"

"I'm making a new Lemmy app"

"I can't wait for [x] to make a Lemmy app"

"Wtf is a tankie"

"Rule"

"[A meme about being trans]"

"[A meme about being neuro-atypical]"

"[A meme you have seen reposted a dozen times elsewhere]"

"I miss Apollo"

PS, I dont mean this in a bad way. I love Lemmy and it is hugely encouraging to see so many people use it. I'm just poking fun at trends I'm seeing emerge.

Ha! Last night when I wanted to look at some NSFW content I was thinking to myself. Man, I wish we had multi-reddits.

For the record, most of us prefer the term Neurodivergent.

The journey is not about the destination. It’s the trends we make along the way.

You forgot "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" Literally every thread about Meta or reddit.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, Enshittify

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 year ago

The new one is are we defererating from Threads.

Not in ML of course, but the discussion goes on on other instances.

  • Should we/let's defederate with X?
[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I think we should federate with Heinz and their beans

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

This is amazing

Plenty of tropes available to fill up the card:

Lemmy is becoming reddit, reeeeee!

Elon Musk Hate.

Are we still doing X?

My breakup letter to reddit.

Repost ancient memes as if its new and clever.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The ancient memes are great though. Like be honest, you laughed at the stupid 2001 meme

Don't forget "Lemmy feels higher quality than reddit" followed by several hot posts that are compressed and re-reposted memes with pixel densities low enough to count.

And the "I'm glad Lemmy doesn't have the reddit hivemind" followed by posts with whole threads of comments straight out of reddit "AmericaBad" thought train.

Pretty much, all of these things can be summed up by "suddenly acting better than reddit while acting identically", I guess.

And "How do I block an entire instance"

Connect and Voyager (formerly wefwef) both support this now.

Maybe I'm just older and have been on the internet longer, but it doesn't feel as much like the "early days" as it does feel like when I first came to Reddit after Digg died (without ever having been a Digg user; it just was a coincidence that I discovered Reddit because of the hubbub).

I've been online since 1990 tho. I was literally there for the beginning of the "World Wide Web." The true Wild West of the internet.

Back before music piracy was a thing; because who's going to download a 3-4MB file on a 14k4 modem? By the time you grab one song you'd have racked up such an internet bill you might as well have bought the single.

I admit I haven't figured out where all the porn is hiding.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (3 children)

lemmynsfw.com, your instance may have defederated with it. Supposedly many are because they don't want it on their server.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like this is a major oversight to how lemmy works. I feel like instances should be able to maintain overall federation, but 'disable' another instance by default, so that it's virtually invisible unless a user turns it on themselves. NSFW tag is way too broad, it encompasses so much more than porn

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

The concern is often not preventing their users from seeing the content but preventing their servers from "hosting" to the content for liability reasons.

How are you forget about the glorious beans!!

Handsome Beanward would have your head if he wasn’t a warm and beany ruler.

50 lashes in the bean dungeon for you!

Lemmy devs are/aren't tankies

What does the ml stand for in lemmy.ml? I don't think the instance is based out of Mali...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

My brain jumped to "machine learning" initially. I never considered the alternative until explicitly pointed out.

Where is "Petition to defederate from X because Y?"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How dare you make a meta meme about Lemmy without mentioning the beans or the 3 days no poop challenge!

You forgot the self-refferential meta bingo post.
