I came to say the same thing about Camellia sinensis, thinking “am I about to be more of a tea purist than is even encapsulated in this chart?” So I’m glad somebody else got there first lol

Me as a vampire and also Marvel’s The Thing: “It’s hemogobblin’ time!”

Oh what a cool concept! I definitely have some to contribute

Is that a thing?? Ahhh I wish!

Work, unfortunately 🥲

Omg!! Are they finally doing a Starfinder 2e in the same vein as Pathfinder 2e?? Yessss amazinggg!!!

I usually wait till they complain about something related to one of the big corporate platforms, then throw out a “you know, the fediverse has an ‘X’ now, come join us!” Just replace X with reddit/tumbler/youtube/etc, whatever platform they were complaining about.

Alternatively, I’ll share fediverse links in the process of showing memes to people.

Centralia is like a couple hours away from me, and I’ve always wanted to go see it. Mostly what’s stopping me is that I get the impression they don’t really like or want tourists around?

Don’t you hate when that happens? Pictures are currently busted on my instance and the admin, while a pretty cool person I think, has been ominously quiet about it… 😅

Have we (Lemmy or the fediverse in general) ever landed on a “best practices” with respect to migrating accounts and one’s old content? Presumably if your instance goes down, any of your content that ever federated out exists somewhere or other, right? So could you just put a link in your profile, that leads to your previous account, but as seen through some (still existing) instance? Like: lemmy.b/u/old_account@lemmy.a

I guess that only works if by some chance instance b happened to catch EVERY post you made, which would require at least one person on b being subscribed to each community you ever posted in, right?

I’m not a fan of Bluesky, but i hear tell they got some sorta customizable sorting algorithm thingy right? Maybe it’ll have something like that!

I am very, very excited about it! I check for updates nearly every day lol

Definitely both, since a lot of people (myself included) don’t have anything resembling a good local landtrust. Evety tiny bit of park/public land/etc near me is like 99% amur honeysuckle, garlic mustard, and lesser celendine. None of the people ostensibly responsible for taking care of said land seem to care… 😭

Pawpaws! If you get them just right, they’re like eating a banana-mango custard.

I love guys with boobs! A lot of people must, there was actually an entire subreddit devoted to them lol

Wafrn, in MY Lemmy?? It’s more likely than I thought!

Seriously though I LOVE Wafrn. I got into Tumblr right at the tail end immediately before it went to shit, and I always regretted not doing it sooner. Wafrn rules.

You are ADORABLE, and also some kinda goddess for getting Gentoo working, please bestow a boon on this lowly Ubuntu mortal ❤

Just tried re-uploading mine and ran into the same issue.

It fucking blows but, honestly, I just never take off my KN95 mask in public… It seems to mostly keeps me from being misgendered (on top of also just being a good idea, of course). I’m never gonna afford FFS, and because of electrolysis I’m not even allowed to shave for like half of every week, so masks being socially acceptable has been a lifesaver for me in more ways than one. Would that help for you too?

Same, doggo 😅

Some parts of the Mastodon community are hostile towards VC Funding, AI, and cryptocurrency, particularly because of their entanglement with enshittification and hype cycles. These people are worried that this relationship will lead Mastodon down an unhealthy path that prioritizes the wrong things. It’s a totally understandable concern, but it’s important to remember the mission and purpose of Mastodon’s US entity: to manage and raise donations in the United States. This is not an executive department making decisions for the Mastodon project, and they aren’t shareholders expecting to make some kind of financial returns. A healthy board requires a diverse set of opinions and experiences that educate the real decision-makers so they can get multiple perspectives on problems they need to solve. It seems like this board’s variety of backgrounds has been set up to do exactly that.

…This really doesn’t soothe my concerns at all! Actually, up until right now, I hadn’t even been paying enough attention to have concerns. So… if anything, this article has inspired concerns I didn’t already have.

It’s like if the server at a restaurant came up to you and said “now I know what you’re thinking… we did in fact recently hire some cannibals. But they only work in the business office, not the kitchen!”
