Two leftists with minute political differences calling each other fascists.
Our Onion is the OC for all my satirical news articles. Little things like that are the seeds of a community.
I can say Luigi Mangione all I want.
Even the idiots here are pretty smart.
Appreciate the compliment!
Don’t @ me, but I soak in the drama of Best of Redditor Updates and the fediverse isn’t quite suited to sagas like that yet.
But the guy who needed to not shit for 3 days made it over there. So that feels pretty noteworthy.
It’s one of my favourite subreddits just because I like having “real” stuff to read. I was wondering recently if we should just make a community for reposting the best r/BORU posts to Lemmy? And then, assuming Lemmy gets big enough, we’ll already have a spot for posting the best of Lemmy updates too.
That weird bot that assumed that woman’s identity and was messaging everyone?
Nicole noticed me once, that’s the only time in my life I ever felt special.
Glad thats gone. It was very strange!
- !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org is VERY unique both in content and in what gets posted.
- Almost everyone running Linux (or at least it seems like it 😉)
- Pretty diverse where people are at location-wise. Feels like early internet instead of services trying to bubble you into your place/content.
Im sure there are others. Looking forward to what everyone else says!
…Also Beans. Yeah didn’t expect that.
I recently posted the question “What’s an unpopular UI opinion you have?” and I think it’s interesting the spread of OSes people are talking about:
I dual boot because I still haven’t figured out how to game on Linux because im dumb :P
It may seem like we all run Linux, but some people run BSD too.
Ah yes, devil Linux.
Ill see myself out.
At some point im going to have to give it a try. I like playing around with alternative OSes for fun (like 9front, UXN, LFS, etc…).
At the end of the day bsd and linux are cousins.
some also uses illumos :)
it really feels like reddit in 2009
It really does.
- About half are Americans, about half are in non-US Western countries, 5% other
- everyone here hates the current US admin
- everyone uses adblockers
- everyone is anti-surveillance (except like 1 or 2 users you find occasionally defending mass surveillance that get downvoted into oblivion)
- everyone is either a Marxist Leninist, Left Anarchist, Social Democrat, or Democratic Socialist, except like a handful of liberals and like 2 conservatives
- almost everyone here supports vigilantism
- Germans… Germans Memes Everywhere
- BEANS
- Frequently, you get extreme CCP shills falsely accusing you of Sinophobia, and simultaneously some are actually some closeted Sinophobes.
liberals
Ugh I hate how this word is now more associated with economic ideology than social ideology.
Most of us can be described as liberals. We don’t want any discrimination based on gender, race, sexual orientation etc.
Can we please go back to using liberals in that sense?
BEANS,CORN, ONION
Our memes feel very old internet and I miss those times.
You’re going to write beans in caps, not even mentioning corn in passing? This one right here officer!
Sorry my Internet Explorer is lagging
What’s your ICQ? I’ll send you the 32bit version, feels snappier.

I am using Arch, btw.
Do you have your programming socks on?
A much more selective user base. People are very picky in what they upvote. I feel like in the Spez pool people upvoted or downvoted and would comment a lot easier. Here people vote with 3 options. Up, down or not. Feels much more deliberate. Also means you get a lot less comments (despite there being less users), because people follow the Bambi principle more here (if you don’t have anything nice to say, say nothing at all)
AND, I think there are some fediverse issues with the various clients and the fact that language is per post setting, hindering discovery.
I always felt on R that if you commented, most of the time, it goes down a black hole. You come into something “late” and no one sees your comment. No up/down votes at all. Which can feel very bad if you spent a lot of time on your response.
I like that “Bambi principle”. Thats a good way of putting it.
Your mention of unix_surrealism is a good point, it really is quite a unique community.
Also for me, the 3 day no poop question will forever be deeply tied to lemmy. It only unfolded days after I first joined, and I believe it was the first big piece of lemmy lore.
I have been looking for this post for a very long time. I was on Kbin back then lol
WTF! New rabbit hole?
Oh no.
Real people with well policed and purged bigotry.
Its nice to recognize say Blase (with his super sonic profile) where he is hanging around in.
Corn I guess?
The fact that most communities have a single unique moderator.
Most communities only have one user so this checks out /s
What kind of communities are you talking about?
Mostly niche interest ones. Especially when there’s multiple communities for that interest. It’s hard to point a finger at one but I think the last one I looked at was dubstep. I check the sidebar, only one mod. I check their user page, they’re only moderating one comm. The odds of them being a terminally online psycho are greatly reduced than if they’re moderating 10+ comms.
Not that comms with multiple mods are at all bad, or moderators operating a cluster of comms. It’s just not the same instant green flag as when there’s only 1-3. This is kind of why I like the current size fediverse is at. Like, I know people want it to grow but there’s something kind of nice about small communities
