The question is, if there are instances that are full of transphobic content, and they're reported, does firefish defederate them. If they do, the view will improve. Although, global feeds are never very useful.

They serve vastly different purposes. Lemmy would be a terrible place for people to chat about how their days are going, which is a key part of what microblogging platforms provide to be honest. And conversely, for structured conversations focused on specific topics, Lemmy has obvious advantages.

Beyond the basic structure, there are cultural issues with both that make them a bit tenuous for me.

The iceshrimp fork actually came before the thing with .art broke and seemingly had to do with issues internal to the calckey development community. It's hard to say for sure what the situation was because most of the stuff on both sides was pretty vaguely stated.

Welcome to the fediverse! Instance admins are under obligation to federate with every other instance possible, and are also under no obligation to do everything in their power to recapture the reddit experience.

Yep, adding water is a perfectly good solution! You can do it a little at a time until it tastes right and then make a note of however much water that was.

Bypass brewing seems underutilized in pourover -- although it's pretty common in aeropress recipes. Crown coffee has an interesting post about it from a while ago.

Bypass will reduce your extraction and hence efficiency, but that only matters in a commercial setting IMO. That being said, if you want to achieve the same thing without bypass at the end, probably what you'd end up doing is using a longer ratio (more water) and then possibly needing to tweak another variable such as grinding a bit coarser to re-balance the flavor.

Who browses the local timeline on a large fediverse instance lol.

Anyway, reality is bad and we're living in it, so I have relatively little patience for people who complain about doomposting. There's a lot of doom out there.

If folks want to only see good news, start an "only good news" community (assuming this doesn't already exist) and just stick to your subscribed communities view.

Did Drop still own Geekhack? (In some ways Corsair acquiring Geehack would be the bigger story to me at least since Geekhack is one of the key places (especially excluding reddit) that interest checks and group buys are published.)

No disrespect to the blahaj admins at all (I'm on lemmy.blahaj.zone rigth now!) but safe spaces for queer folks aren't automatically safe spaces for non-white folks and there's a lot of historical pain and drama about that on the fediverse

I would definitely recommend binging James Hoffmann’s YouTube channel or getting his book on home coffee as he does a very good job of breaking things down in a way that is detailed but approachable. It’s a great jumping on point.

Pick one or two inexpensive brewing methods to try first and try coffees from different roasters and different origins and processes and roast levels to figure out what you like.

You don’t have to drink coffee black if you don’t want to, but it’s a good idea to at least try coffees black first (let them cool down a bit too) before you add milk. Light and medium roast coffees that are good quality and brewed well can be sweet and fruity with little bitterness and should taste good on their own. You may still end up preferring to take it with milk, though, and that’s fine!

A lot of folks are using those cute little crab holders, which are adorable.

If you like big blocks of aluminum, there's the Karas cubes which are licensed from Dudek

Galen Leather also has several options

That’s not what gatekeeping means.
