I’m on Lemmy all the time and I didn’t know that community. But thanks for sharing, this is what I’m talking about.

Tbf you’re on Lemmy 24/7 so you’ll hear about things much earlier than many others. I’ve also been on Piefed for a minute.

But I’ve come to understand how slowly knowledge propagates through large numbers of people, at least via this medium. First with the APIcaplyse, when I realized that virtually nobody on reddit had even heard of the API changes, let alone moving to Lemmy. And then on Lemmy itself with various major events/dramas that people were totally unaware of until much later.

Piefed is developing rapidly and seems like a worthy alternative to Lemmy and Mbin. The private voting feature is also really cool.

I guess that’s possible, I was just saying the two most likely things that came to mind. I wouldn’t necessarily expect money launderers to rely on a teenager, but I also don’t have any personal experience in this area.

Probably either from crypto or dealing drugs

Do we have yous/youse? According to my understanding that’s technically not a real word yet, it’s slang.

2nd person singular used to be thou/thee back in the middle ages, but it all eventually melded into you.

I feel like y’all is the newer American version of 2nd person plural, while yous/youse/yinz are the non-American English counterparts.

I have always used you guys in a gender neutral manner historically, but people occasionally got offended by that. So I started using y’all several years ago and it’s been going pretty good. Although I did initially spell it like ya’ll until someone corrected me on reddit 😅

Yeah most of the ones in the second list at least had a couple of notable things about them that kept them off the first list. I was hoping people with local experience would chime in if they had reason to dispute my rankings; I’m sure there’s some cool aspects of these cities that I might not be aware of.

Carson City is nearby Lake Tahoe which is pretty awesome. Lansing is actually a decent sized city and has Michigan State University. Topeka is reasonably close to KC, and presumably has some other notable features 😅

Montgomery and Jackson are pretty dire but there’s not really any better cities/options in Alabama or Mississippi, so I gave them an A for effort.

There’s honestly a lot of lame state capitals in the US, Europeans might be surprised. In Europe the national capital of each country is typically the biggest and most cosmopolitan city. This is not the case when it comes to state capitals in the US. Several of the most boring ones (Montpelier, Augusta, Pierre) have already been mentioned, so I’ll just add a few others.

Indubitably Boring

• Frankfort, Kentucky
• Jefferson City, Missouri
• Helena, Montana
• Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Slightly Less Boring (honorable mentions)

• Carson City, Nevada
• Jackson, Mississippi
• Topeka, Kansas
• Olympia, Washington
• Lansing, Michigan
• Salem, Oregon
• Trenton, New Jersey
• Montgomery, Alabama
• Springfield, Illinois
• Tallahassee, Florida
• Concord, New Hampshire

I agree. Do we have any suggestions for the subdomain name?

AFAIK, no. I think it’s important to note that it would provide a vector for bad actors to harass moderators. I agree with the spirit of transparency, but people need to understand that there will likely be undesirable consequences from making this information public.

I would estimate

15% <25

60% 25-40

25% 40+

Y’all be showing your age sometimes 😅

It doesn’t need to be the answer. It just needs to be an answer for certain use cases. Both platforms can easily coexist. That’s the beauty of federation.

100% agree, well said

Previous comments are spot on.

One thing I would add is that Lemmy is a particularly sensitive case, because we really want to encourage activity and growth at this stage. It pains me when communities without much activity get a meme post or something that makes it into /all and the mods remove it for being off-topic.

Overly strict moderation is one of the fastest ways to drive people away from a platform. Just follow your natural instincts and let people post what they want as long as it’s not harming anyone.

Sheesh guys, at least act like you’ve been there before. Bad look, but not unexpected considering the culprits

And this goes on and on and back and forth for 90 or so minutes until the movie just sort of… ends.

It’s just realistic. Koreans aren’t having sex anymore, their TFR is down to 0.72. That’s mind-bogglingly low.

Wow, that’s a crazy experience. Somebody jumped in and saved you?

Holy chrimbus! Nice activity bro. You’re like ThePicardManeuver of cats and anime

It seems they deleted their account. But yeah that thread was really funny, the responses were good too

ATProto is what Bluesky uses, right? It’d be nice if someone could give a quick summary of the features and what differentiates it compared to ActivityPub.

It seems like it would be a pretty big task to switch from ActivityPub, because each fediverse project would have to implement that independently.
