  • Do you ever let the kids play games with butt scooters like these? If not I would highly recommend adding them to your curriculum. Those things were the bomb

  • If you have only been here for a month it's not enough time to judge if the culture is changing, no?

    Also you're saying two different things, that people are negative and rude and that they aren't expressing any passion. I think some users are negative and rude, but they definitely still express passion even though it isn't always positive. Lemmy users have always held strong and passionate beliefs, it's part of why we decided to leave mainstream social media and use Lemmy instead.

    Sometimes those beliefs clash, but I don't think it's gotten any more negative lately. Plus it varies so much from server to server and community to community. It's pretty foolish to paint all of Lemmy with the same brush because really it's a bunch of independent communities with different attitudes and behaviors that are also able to interact with each other.

  • Which brands do actually care about a healthy customer relationship more than profit?

    Jump

  • Feddit.org technically meets the criteria. Along with many other Lemmy servers.

    But as far as brands that sell consumer goods, it's slim pickings. Most of them end up going out of business and/or getting bought up by investors/competitors.

  • New to Lemmy, I Might Need Advice

  • This is a good list of communities.

    Are you looking to share your own artwork? Then [email protected] seems like a good option. Otherwise I'm not really sure. You could always start your own community to post in.

  • What safeguards does Lemmy have that allow it to maintain integrity if it sees a sudden rise in popularity?

    Jump

  • If I’m not happy with how /r/knives is run on Reddit, I can make /r/knife to compete with it.

    This doesn't work too well in practice though, as we saw on reddit. If a new user looks for a subreddit about knives, 9 times out of 10 they will find r/knives and if it's decently active they'll never learn about r/knife. The name squatters have a massive advantage over the alternatives based on that alone.

    Granted, the instance based community system has a similar problem where the communities on the biggest instances will have an advantage in attracting new users. But it's a lot easier to overturn because you don't have to use a janky alternative name, and you can easily publicize poor moderation and dissent on other servers.

    Without the alternative server component, holding control over certain community names is way too powerful, and over time results in a significant degradation of the usability of the site, as it becomes harder and harder to find the actual well-moderated communities. Using alternative names doesn't solve the problem, it just provides a temporary workaround. Federation actually solves the problem in the long term.

    There is definitely room for improvement on the modlog. But also moderators and admins can view the full removed comment and media, so it's not like that's impossible. It's a hell of a lot better than nothing, that's for sure.

  • Community level federation

    Jump

  • I'm not so sure they want to "persuade the leftists", I think they probably just want to find other conservatives to validate their feelings. But there isn't any space for that on Lemmy atm.

    They'll probably need to make their own servers, which will immediately get defederated en masse. But I think Lemmy should be for every human being who seeks knowledge, even conservatives. That doesn't mean we need to federate with them, but that's the nature of open source software. You can't pick and choose who uses it.

  • Community level federation

    Jump

  • I just try to avoid it entirely. Every post gets heavily downvoted anyway because conservatives are totally outnumbered on Lemmy. So it's mostly people mocking them.

  • I feel like it's so confusing if you just see the comments without the posts. But also the comments are the best part of Lemmy so it kinda makes sense.

    I'm already addicted to Lemmy so that's not an issue

  • Community level federation

    Jump

  • Wow. I never even noticed that option before. That's actually pretty cool.

    But kind of sounds like a bug in that case, because if the admins wanted to remove the community then it shouldn't be possible to view comments from there either.

  • If you can't see the community itself, then how are you seeing comments?

    When you view people's profiles?

    Jump

  • Pretty sure that's been a thing for a while. It's like when lemmy.world blocked [email protected]. They are still federated but they just blocked that one community.

    I assume that's what lemmy.ml is doing with the conservative community.

  • are there any lemmy instances that are 13+ like how other platforms are, or are they all 18+?

    Jump

  • In my experience most internet spaces that specifically cater to teenagers also tend to attract a lot of creeps. I think it's probably for the best to nominally limit Lemmy to adults only, especially at this early stage.

  • You're assuming that a centenarian couldn't set up a Lemmy server? That's ageism

  • DAE feel a bit out of the pop culture loop using Lemmy as their primary social media?

  • Tbf, Kendrick Lamar is an unbelievably talented musician. Drake is just a lame ass celebrity, you can easily ignore him and be better off.

    But Kendrick has made some really fantastic albums. If you're not into rap than you might not care too much anyway, but he doesn't belong in the same conversation as Drake, despite their dumb ass feud.

    I don't even like hip-hop that much but Section 80 and Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City are easily among my favorite albums of all time.

  • The largest Giant Sequoia outside of California, measured by diameter at breast height, can be found in Jefferson Park in Tacoma, WA. Source: (monumentaltrees.com)

    Jump

  • Giant sequioas are native to California. The fact that you are apparently offended that the largest giant sequioas are in the United States is quite bizarre and telling of your prejudiced attitude towards Americans. Maybe instead of blaming American culture for scientific facts, you should try doing some of your own research so you sound less ignorant and xenophobic.

    Any giant sequioa that exists outside of America is almost certainly less than 200 years old, and thus unlikely to set any size records. The sequioa was first introduced to the UK in 1853. Additionally, it would stand to reason that sequioas would grow best in their native climates or similar conditions. This is why sequioas in the UK cannot naturally reproduce.

    And yes, they actually can go out and check trees located in other countries, and I'm not sure what makes you think otherwise 😅
