This is deliciously mild.

Considering a woman ran as a democrat then switched to republican as soon as she was in office, it doesn’t seem like anything stopping them.

And when I went to find a link apparently it’s happened multiple times just this year.

my second objection is that that copying bash entries is meaningless activity - everyone can just go to where they already are to see them.

Couldn’t this be said of…anything posted to an aggregator site? A large chunk of Lemmy (and Reddit) is screenshots of other sites.

and last - that post was not funny when it was new and time did not help it 🤷‍♂️

A lot of stuff posted to Lemmy isn’t funny to me either but my opinion doesn’t matter much.

Not sure if I’m wooshing or you’re serious about being this particular about this post.

What blows my mind is I think they would have been moderately successful if they just said you need to have Premium to be able to use third party apps. I used Reddit for HOURS a day. Honestly it was bad. I wouldn’t have liked it but I probably could have justified to myself paying a small fee per month to be able to continue using Apollo if they had played their cards right. Instead I haven’t been back since before the blackout. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I should thank spez for cutting my addiction cold turkey.

I know it’s not productive to say but I don’t like any of them more than the current rainbow one. 😢

I’m kinda surprised I’m seemingly in the minority of preferring self check. At least before they handicapped all the regular self checkouts and forced everyone to do self checkout. When it was truly optional, especially when it was “20 items of fewer” style, it was so much faster because I’m usually not buying a huge cart worth of items, and I can bag my own way. However now that Susan with her month’s worth of groceries for her family of 4 is also in self checkout, it makes it less efficient.

Is this about political campaign debates or like high school debate club competitions?

You mean for this specific case? Yes, they’re two separate communities which is why it was disadvantageous to create a community on both kbin and Lemmy—if they made just one, that one community could share subscribers and comments and such from all Lemmy instances (that aren’t defederated) as well as kbin. They didn’t need to make separate accidentalrenaissance communities but they did.

I’m not a fan of the e-mail analogy overall, but here it works. It’s like they created a gmail account and an aol account, thinking only gmail accounts could email each other and only aol accounts could email each other. But really, if they made only a gmail account then both gmail and aol would be able to communicate easily.

For your reference: for all intents and purposes there isn’t one. Lemmy accounts can interact and follow kbin communities and vice versa. You don’t need accounts on both, though you can if you choose.

Soooo like those annoying videos at the gas station/petrol pumps.

It’s a reference to the meme “Loss” linked in this comment: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/805300
