Yeah, the word “siege” is a little weird to repeat several times. I’d have said “attempted coup” at leat one of the times.

I cringe in horror at the idea of children using stainless steal straws. There’s so much potential for horrible accidents.

Church tithing doesn’t count as donating to charity, IMHO.

I don’t think that’s how it works

In that vein:
Romeo and Juliet II: Friar Lawrence Strikes Again

That’s a more recent phenomenon. These folk were retiring just as that culture was taking off.

Extraordinary classic fantasy books provided ignition for inspired creativity.

Caveman like enough?

We thought the /s wasn’t necessary on Lemmy. But this comment disproves it.

Yes. Too bad he had all those guns within easy reach.

No one said “most gun owners”. You’re trying to shift the argument to something you have a chance with.

When you’ve collected 47 hammers. All your problems begin to look like nails.

I still can’t believe they threw away all that free labor.

Lol, older millenials never saw the early internet experience. UUCP, FTP, Gopher, Mosaic, et al.

Boomer, here. The fediverse is the first thing I’ve seen that has the potential to replace the old USENET (also a federated system). Unfortunately, Lemmy has similar weaknesses/vulnerabilities to USENET which was destroyed by SPAM, high resource (compute, bandwidth, admin time…), and an influx of newbs (AoL).

Like reddit, Lemmy discourages long lived threads, which is unfortunate. But the longer Lemmy remains the home of linux geeks, the better, IMHO. I don’t have a burning need to see the newest pop culture memes.

Does it make sense to fave one central e-mail account management server? Email is a federated system, though it’s becoming less federated all the time.

Choosing an instance is no more confusing than choosing an email provider. I signed up on several right away. I figured I’d stick with the one I liked best, but since they all run the same software it makes little difference. One instance lost its domain, another is constantly being DOSed. Otherwise it’s simple.

I gotta disagree with you on one point: Facebook was never cool.

Unfortunately, there’s not enough of them even 8f they do disproportionately more harm.

How do you feel about i am actually chatbots?

Yo. Zz-up?
