The Sleepy Gary starter pack.
Nah. I know my stuff. This is for sure the Revolution.
Canada here. Basically, everything I learned is from parodies. American history is not a big deal in K-12 curriculum. If i had to write a 2 paragraph essay to save my life:
It was a period in history where guns were loaded one ball at a time by stuffing it down the barrel with a stick. Wealthy white people who profited off slavery all lived in the southern states for some reason. This group started to hear that other people in the rest of the (northern) states were starting to talk about making slavery illegal. To protect their interests they formed a separate government, formed an army and attempted to overtake and rule all of the states.
Their army wore red, and the north's defending army wore blue. They shot at each other with cannons for a few years and many people died, mostly from shitty health-care and infections rather than acute death. The north won and now lots of people who were never in the war, pretend to have the war again to remind them to never have a civil war.
I'd say the impact was that slavery was abolished, but it was abolished in many other countries without a civil war so I guess the impact was a lot of parody material for pop culture.
And that is all I know about Paul Revere and the American Revolution.
Nope, but also not nope?
a revolution starts with a single bean
You could report an unmoderated community to an admin. I would imagine most reasonable admin's would give the mod plenty of time to respond. Other than that, just make your community on a different instance and post a link in the dead moderators shell.
I think you're right. People will gravitate to the most stable large instances because their "All" will be as close to 100% as possible without doing anything special. I wrote a script to seed instances and update subscriptions, but it uses a single account that is subscribed to everything so that other users can see everything. That's not something that would normally happen. Maybe that needs to be part of the base software?
Welcome. We don’t call ourselves lemmings. The preferred term is lemons.
At least we get lemmy flavoured drama. It's not as bitter as Reddit's.
I gave awards to anyone who commented they were switching with all the coins accumulated for 13 years. :(
Pretty rookie list tbh, doesn’t even include people with long hair, chiropractors or unemployed.
TBF modern browsers are remarkably secure from being a vector to pwn your computer these days.
EDIT: I don't endorse hanging out on a compromised lemmy.world. Focus on the implication for the bigger lemmyverse though. A hack coming through to you is unlikely.
