I’m complaining about things in a thread that’s about complaining. I apologize if I rubbed you the wrong way but I’m not gonna interfere or police conversations about things I find mildly annoying.

Your concerns are reasonable and I’ve been that asshole before but rage-posting and cruising for arguments has always left me feeling like shit. Unmedicated Crudman on Facebook circa 2018 was intolerable.

Weeding the pedos out of Discord seems like an utterly sysiphean task

There is nothing objectionable about a working class fella going on a Life Threatening Shit Quest.

Been looking for this word, it’s so perfectly succinct and evocative of the Web 3.0 sludgeworld.

Search engines are almost entirely useless now. As much as I’d love an indie alternative, sending out millions of webcrawlers seems prohibitively expensive.

They should have just like, kept Google+ on life support. It could have had one hell of a second wind in the wake of these huge social media bungles

Hate that. Took my car down a trailhead to unload my kayak and felt like I was gonna pop my oil pan

Some background: I have a horrendous fear of heights.

To start, I remember going down to South Carolina when I was 18 to visit my friend. Her friend drove us through an Appalachian mountain road at blood-curdling speeds and I was kind of drafting out my will in my head.

Similar story to when I went to California for my cousin’s wedding more recently. I find something about those mountain roads around Hollywood to be absolutely nauseating. Serpentine, narrow, had me holding on to the Oh Shit handles of the rental car.

Adding to this, I’d love to never see the phrase “Sexy Time” ever again

Also there was that one user who’d write these Uwu Cute Baby Animal poems in baby talk and would get upvoted and jacked off in the comments ad nauseum. Like, the Rupi Kuar of Baby Animal Content Farms. The William McGonagall of Wholesome 100 Circlejerking

“People who make pun threads should be drug out into the street and shot”

I don’t actively use Linux anymore but I think I first used puppy Linux in middle school. I was a strange kid and got a kick out of anything that could run off a flash drive.

Then I’d use like Ubuntu, lubuntu, and mint typically. I’m back to using windows because I only really use my computer for gaming and I honestly had a rare gift for bricking distros by installing something wrong.

I’m getting 2 rooms for 2 nights. I’ll be eating raw meat in those rooms.

Fandom is such a maliciously shitty service. I am eager for it to die and I hope whoever made modern Fandom falls ass first into a puddle

Bring back Arpanet and return me to a sparkle in my dad’s eye

Have you been able to consolidate lemmy and kbin into a single reader app? I’ve read they’re compatible but I’m using Connect on android and it’s been temperamental

I agree in theory, lemmy becoming a capable scroll-when-bored service in general is gonna be the thing that increases the user base and retention. But hosting videos is dummy expensive and the fediverse is idealogically opposed to the advertising that would pay for that.

Offloading videos to YouTube or something similar and embedding them would be just fine for me, I like the idea of videos being on YouTube instead of being kind of orphaned in that liminal, unsearchable twilight zone of Social Media Video Hosting anyway

To make myself clear I’d rather be confused about lemmy servers than ever, ever use Discord as a wiki

I’m normier than the listed demographics and find the Fediverse and it’s associated jargon to be inline with 4 dimensional crochet in terms of ease of use
