People don’t want help, they want you to fix it.
They’re then not grateful you fixed it, they’re annoyed with you because it broke in the first place.
It’s a great job 👍
Virgin Media’s not gonna be happy about that, fuck em tho.
I was gonna say that’s good to know, then realised I’ll probably never actually come into contact with a gun
Downvoting a post ain’t brigading 😂
Is there not an option in Lemmy to make a community private, or exclude it from /all?
That sounds like what you need if you can’t handle general users disagreeing with you.
Banning people for downvoting posts is the most sensitive thing I’ve actually seen on the internet first hand.
And yet they probably still think people dislike them just because they’re vegan 🤷♂️
It’s just a reckless way to live and is frankly plunging our entire society into unabated chaos
the hell does it matter what gender said characters identify as? Why would it matter if we had all types of Space Marines (yeah, yeah, lore, yadda-yadda, but c'mon...the Rubicon Primaris itself contradicts a whole lotta lore... it's 40k, its lore is as stable as melted cheese), or trans characters, or agender, or anything else?
tbf, I think you’ve kinda hit the nail on the head with that.
Why does it matter in 40k? It would just be irrelevant and therefore not worth mentioning or shoehorning in.
I know the whole “This games woke!” mob are obnoxious, but it does annoy me sometimes when there’s an irrelevant token character when the story doesn’t need it.
Do it properly or don’t do it at all. Stop chucking token characters into stuff just for mass appeal, it’s ultimately a disservice.
Make interesting original characters and stories that revolve around that, rather than trying to cram that into something else.
Uhh, what kinda dispute causes an entire staff to quit??
Can’t see any reason mentioned in the article other than a disagreement with the owner.
Just seems crazy that they’ve let such a successful team walk away, when it sounds like the team were willing to find a way forward…
Because it’s obnoxious.
And while it may not break rules, it goes against the spirit of online forums and discussion to ban people and prevent discussion just because they respectfully disagree with you.
Also, Lemmy has an issue if a post can gain traction because mods just block anyone who downvotes, preventing them from voting on further posts.
Did you just ban me from the community because I downvoted one of your comments?
All I ever did in the community was downvote you and now I can’t post or vote there 😂
There’s a video you can watch if that helps.
It was actually a normal, endearing interaction, but people gotta be outraged anyway 🤷♂️
I always see people asking for it, but I guess we’re actually the vocal minority in this situation.
The bastards are cracking down on getting cheap YT premium with a VPN. Now requires a payment method from the region you’re purchasing via :/
I’ve uninstalled it off the smart TV, started playing videos on laptop. On mobile I use YT via safari with ad blocker, on IOS and not willing to jailbreak or anything like that.
This isn’t gonna be the last time their own research comes back to bite them, they’ve had 14 years of pot shots at the conservatives.
Far easier to be the opposition and criticise, rather than deal with the reality and make the tough decisions.
About ten years too late for me, tinnitus go eeeeeeeeeee

I just don't get how Lemmy is going to act as a proper replacement for Reddit.
I understand the basic concept of Lemmy and the Fediverse, and people are touting the concept of it being federated and not centrally controlled, but it is an absolute mess and nobody seems to have an idea about what to do with it.
How are communities going to grow if there isn't at least some form of central management. Other than there being an underlying framework that connects the servers, they're all just doing what they want.
Outside of the underlying framework, there's no 'guidelines' or consistency. The servers have random names, and the main Lemmy.ml is telling people to register elsewhere.
How is this going to bring in a wider audience if people are being directed to lemmy.fmhy.ml, sopuli.xyz, or sh.itjust.works?
What is the purpose of the Fediverse when forums for niche interests already exist on the internet?
Does it make sense to have something like a 'sports' server that has communities for soccer, NFL, basketball, MMA? But then how do you get a consistent naming scheme that lets people know it's part of the fediverse?
Maybe Lemmy could work as a replacement, but it seems like it needs a 'flagship' server with a group of people maintaining it to set an example. Then other servers that cover more specific areas, such as sports, can be set up and potentially work closely with that flagship group.
If this doesn't happen, then I can't see how this doesn't just fizzle out.
P.S. I've also compared two different Lemmy servers and looked at the same post in a community, and there are different numbers of comments on each where they haven't synced up...
I also wanted to post this to the main Lemmy community, but as I had to register via a different server, I'm not able to access that community from the server I'm using for some reason...
