I’ve pulled one of those wireless trimmers apart when it quit working. I found a rechargeable AA battery soldered in there.

It would be news, and even harder to believe as real news.

Yeah, I’m having trouble seeing this as real news.

Agreed. The tribe mindset on display shows me how users who love reddit as it is are not a good fit for the Fediverse. Maybe less advertising to that crowd is a good thing.

Signal with 2 people who actually moved there with me, standard messages app that came with Samsung for most people, and Facebook Messenger Lite for anything that works better there, or contacting people who I’m not close enough with to get their phone number.

Not interested in learning

Complains constantly

Wants things for free

Doesn’t deserve your help in this area.

I think if a thing like Place were made for Lemmy, it would need to be so different to fit the values of the Fediverse that it would need a new name. Different rules, different way of interaction, different output.

I use it kind of like WD-40 in a farm setting. It’s messy, but not as messy as grease. It’s effective to coat things that constantly wear and have started to rust. I also rub it on my leather boots to waterproof it for cheap.

I agree. A few bigger updates here and there about what’s going on, but not constant reposts to where Lemmy starts looking like Reddit.

This is the best shower thought post I’ve ever seen. Amazing!

This is perfect for the situation above

I don’t understand most of those terms, but uh, sounds good?

Permission toggles that mean something, battery life and no bloat ware sound great to me.

Google, duck duck go when I don’t want to see ads for days based on what I’m searching, Bing and Perplexity when I want to avoid doing a series of searches to learn something.

I mean, it’s only fair.

Yes.

This mod seems familiar. They may be the offending party behind my worst experience on Reddit, and the only mod I ever blocked.

Handed me a temporary ban for responding to a post written to the wrong sub. They didn’t have time to write out a redirect link to copy and paste for lost redditors, but did have time to mark me as trouble and berate me when I suggested redirecting users. Since a temporary ban “wasn’t enough,” they gave a longer ban so I would “learn my lesson.”

Really put a damper on my whole reddit experience.

Is it a benign “attack” to point out the weakness to get enough attention that it gets fixed?

It sounds too sketchy to the old people who make the rules.
