IIRC someone needs to be fired for allowing it to happen?

Edit: I don’t have a source readily available. This is anecdotal.

That seems charitable.

Conveniently no more than 35 again.

I mostly scroll through the feed and chime into topics where I feel I can contribute to.

That’s good too but maybe consider lowering your bar on what it takes to “contribute”.

I have left many simple comments that have led to someone chiming in with something insightful that they may not have commented otherwise

Does your interface not show the instance with the community name?

Ptecisely, that’s how I always saw it. Say /r/games and /r/gaming, ostensibly those should have the same content but each had its own culture (or did at one point, who knows now)

Not all Muslims are extremists.

Edit: who tf would downvote this statement?

We don’t. We just continue to stay here and grow and flourish naturally. I see no need to rush.

Agreed, but it’s still a good watch. . He has a relevant degree (sociology?) and was a social worker for a while so his perspective is still worthwhile.

It’s a killer feature imo but microblog services in general aren’t really my thing

Fay was arrested for stealing road signs and vandalizing 18 cars over a ten-day period in September 1993.

Cars? Wtf man.

I mean like on Bluesky you can make feeds such as this one someone made that features posts linking to free gift articles.

Does Mastadon have customizable/sharable feeds?

He needs help with his mental health but it’s not your place to ensure he gets it. This is a health hazard. You’ve already tried.

Is that helpful though? Isn’t that the same as everyone registering at Lemmy.world?

Screw 'em!

A very good point actually

Sure, but on another level yes, nicotine is a problem. It’s super fucking addictive and I hate my dependence on it. And harsher regulation on nicotine products in my area have ironically made it tougher to ween myself off.

I’d love to be wrong about this. But I started smoking at 20, and while I’ve kicked cigarettes for good I couldn’t make quitting nicotine stick.

The point is prohibition doesn’t work. I would prefer no young person ever try cigarettes, or nicotine in any form. But I don’t think that’s realistic.
