I’m definitely a recent convert. I hate Windows 11 and all the various features it shoves down my throat these days. I bought a steam deck and ended up dabbling in the desktop mode enough to realize the learning process will be mostly fun for me. I’m mostly gaming these days anyway. I don’t use the computers I have at home for much more than that.

I said that Trump better watch out for dancing girls in metal bikinis trying to strangle him with their chains.

Honestly, the longer I have been away from it, the more dumb it seems. So I don’t care. I can still read it, and I do - mostly to look for hardware related computer information from people who know more than me.

Im in the medical field and have already spotted several posts giving incorrect medical advice that I now can’t correct. It used to be my thing. Its a shame the admins don’t concentrate on that kind of harmful misinformation, but whatever.

Nice scarf

No…they’re much dirtier than that, apparently, although it’s difficult to know for sure. There are many results in Google if you look for methods, and sometimes people in the biz chime in with some good answers, but it’s still mostly speculation.

Yeah. “Reddit admin” is the 5th Cluster B personality disorder. Its like when you’re young and the guy in class with the most prominent Adam’s apple gets put in charge while the teacher takes a piss.

I too was permabanned for inciting violence. I suggested Princess Leia should strangle Trump with her chain. Is this a new thing maybe? The story is common.

I like Lemmy. It reminds me of early reddit. For me, it’s a shame to watch it slowly bring more of the dumb junk I didn’t like into the mix. It’s inevitable, I guess, but the memes and reddit culture are bleeding out of their containers and into the other sections. Im seeing more balanced views and it’s kind of nice to read intelligent posts from people I disagree with rather than the mudslinging from common reddit views. There’s safety in numbers, and people know what is reddit-popular to say. Opposing views are buried there.
