Well, here’s hoping you have a better time with us on Lemmy! My Reddit account is 8 years old, but I stopped using it and have been on Lemmy full time for 2 years now.

I think the issue is you are posting too early for Reddit, you should be commenting for the first week at least.

Essentially, the coarse-grained spam-filter assumes that anyone that has a whole bunch of posts ready to go the day they sign up is a bot spammer. Even here on Lemmy, if you sign up then immediately try to copy and paste a post 10 times to different communities, you will get reported and banned for spamming.

The principle behind it is like any social space online or offline: if you are a legitimate new member, you will start on the fringes and slowly settle in, from introducing yourself to a few members, attend events, to then asking questions, before making any influential speeches or going into a leadership position. Anyone trying to fast track that will be met with suspicion from members.

Reddit and Lemmy are similar in a sense. you start as a lurker, become a commentor, then you are well-adjusted enough to post.

No, it was originally an August 2023 shitpost that was like “y’all upvote anything so here’s a can of beans”. That spurred the first wave of bean memes, and it has subsequently been trending every few months or so.

You already know, that if some Floridian Neo-Nazi group gets a van thrown at them, the tune will immediately change as if they said nothing of the sort.

If they’re going to do that they need that on a completely separate site, not on Wikipedia itself.

That screenshotted summary is terrible and very un-encyclopedia like.

There were at least face-value arguments for it before.

My toast was burnt this morning. Damn immigrants!!!1!

Well we know that any power the world gives to the United States can be used by a petulant, insecure man-baby to serve nobody’s ends but his own.

So yeah, America, if you had made better decisions, you would still be deserving of the title of the world’s reserve currency. But here we are, times are a-changing.

If you want to talk about personal waste, the problem is two-end: reducing consumption (new stuff) and reducing disposal. Some plastic wrapping, some packaging and single use items are required in some applications (e.g. for sanitary reasons), but we can find alternatives (e.g. bamboo biodegradable cutlery) and look to use longer lasting items over single use. The second is the lack of segragation of waste streams and appropriate facilities to reclaim material from waste. Even if something is biodegradable, if it ends in a landfill it can release methane or if burned it releases CO2. Many landfills have most of their emissions coming from organic and yard waste, and diverting that to compost, mulch and natural gas digester projects.

There are a lot of problems but there are also a lot of solutions. You will have to set aside a level of waste you are willing to accept, and work towards places you can improve or propose items or support efforts that can help. Zero waste for everywhere and everything is an impossible goal that strictly pursuing that will achieve nothing but make you depressed.

For restaurants specifically, when you eat out you can go to places with washable plates and cutlery instead of paper/plastic ones, or for the cheaper end, ones that use bamboo cutlery instead of plastic.

Note: article is from Sep 2023, so yes it is related, but not necessarily that they had used it to cover anything related to this weekend’s events.

Are we talking about Outlook or “New Outlook”? Everyone that I’ve heard that switch to new Outlook has had nothing but pain that you can’t “do the thing” you used to any more. Like “Meeting with All”.

I can check out any time I like, but I’ve never left.

I’m sure the most watched ones might be: The Duck song, Asdfmovie, and the like…

My picks:

• (Stupid funny) playing Parappa the Rapper 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGlCGMm8Qag
• (Informative) CGP Grey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y3jE3B8HsE
• (Music) The Canadian band Barenaked Ladies recording songs in their Bathroom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebWzQ-sZZto
• There was this one youtube minigame (maybe it was a google homepage game? I don’t remember) commemorating the fall of the Berlin Wall Anniversary, with a wall you could break by moving the timeline bar back and forth. I can’t find it anymore.

Putin and Zelenskyy should take turns having “good conversations” with Trump, like throwing a frisbee of douchebag impotence back and forth to each other.

I suppose it’s worth noting that being more permissive with federation and a lower signup barrier was part of lemm.ee’s philosophy. The shutdown is related to burnout from the moderation side. More permissive federation means more stress to mods/admins, since they have to deal with more questionable user behaviour. Often times defederation just comes out of not being able to handle the constant stream of reports of anti-social activity from particular servers.

Yeah the local policing unit is more like that, especially in remote locations like the northern Prairies and territories.

To give Americans and International readers context, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have a division that functions like the FBI/Europol (investigating national-scale crimes and co-ordinating provincial resources), but they also serve as local and/or state police where there is not one specific to that province, county, district or city.

LinkedIn HR: “You have been OpenedToWork”

They will be setting off on another sailing soon.

That’s what I call making use of Nature’s gift.
