I’m imagining that as a Will and Grace gag and it’s pretty great

As I see it now, the lemmy spirits have seen fit to have some sort of geometric score progression

I agree with your agreement therefore I am ENTITLED to upvotes

1. Browse new
2. First comment
3. Collect massive Internet points
4. ???
5. LEMMY

I never really did this on the bad place but if you browse new and fire off something snarky or heartfelt first it often becomes the top comment in my experience

If memory serves, it’s in reference to the ancient mammal and also the metal band

Honest question, why isn’t your clubhouse over at lemmygrad enough?

1. They basically say they are, and also run explicitly tankie instance lemmygrad.ml
2. Look at the modlog for lemmy.ml. Among other things, anytime someone has an opinion about China who isn’t Chinese it’s “Orientalism”

I hear he doesn’t really think much of his father’s moderation policies and he might be looking for social media alternatives

The curse of the zombie hot posts strikes again!

I don’t agree with this in all cases.

True, parents usually have a deeply ingrained emotional need to protect and nurture their children but:

• Not all parents do. Narcissists have children all the time. When they do, they cloak their emotional vampirism in ‘love’ like they do in all relationships.
• Even parents with the best intentions have to work HARD not to pass on their generational traumas, abuses, and bad habits.
• Only the child can truly know what will fulfill them as a person. Parents often substitute what they wanted for their younger selves for the child’s best interest.

For those still thinking I have no idea what I am talking about and you and your parents are different… please look into “enmeshment” for your own sake

I wasn’t sure how to respond to this at the time.

I’m coming back to report that I just saw this.

I was scrolling All + Hot using Connect on Android and saw this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/57957

Judging by the influx of new comments, I wasn’t the only one.

Lemmy’s default sort is “Active” - which I believe is “most recent comment activity”

The classic reddit experience is most like the “Hot” sort option.

Lemmy’s other weird default is the “feed” which can be all, local, and following. Lemmy defaults to “local”, which is probably not what you want (chronological feed of posts on your home server)

Also highly recommend “blocking” communities if you don’t want to see their content. (Mostly important if you browse the “All” or “local” feeds)

Homie I’m sorry that happened.

You might want to do some research on:

• verbal abuse
• narcissistic parent
• low self esteem

This is what I wish someone else told me.

Good luck on your journey

Nope! Should have everything you need in the box

YoCan Vane is a great budget option (~$50) sold at lots of head shops.

Just let it cool off in between 3 min cycles, and keep the charger close.

The gatekeepers are the instance mods/admins. The model is known to have problems…unfortunately, it’s the best option we have IMO

What’s science precious?

Eight is great It’s not too late
