Topic is about Lemmy as a whole, and I’m responding with my impression of that. Your re-interpretation of my impression doesn’t really make sense to me. I’m sure others have different experiences with their own usage of Lemmy but mine does not revolve around my instance enough for me to even form an impression of it. It certainly doesn’t dominate my user experience.

I do appreciate the responses here hinting that I’m wrong about my experience on Lemmy but I had a 13 year old Reddit account that I nuked after the API debacle and I remember the monoculture that developed. Lemmy is not Reddit even if a few instances have their own subcultures. Doesn’t invalidate my impression.

Thanks for pointing out how my opinion is wrong though.

That it doesn’t feel like a culture at all, that you have to adopt. There’s genuine discussion, not just a few top meme-comments and a sea of ignored participation.

B. Loaded handgun in the car. I. Total disregard for road safety. N. Convicted criminal pardoned by convicted criminal president. G. Mental health crisis resolved by cop shooting. O. Legally justified homicide.

We’re doing great. Good job all around, no notes.

I was just a kid but I did learn about computers in the late 80s. I remember a programming course in the summer that left an impression, though I foolishly never pursued it further.

What I miss most is the wonder. The fascination has mostly all evaporated. Turns out putting a computer in your pocket that your life relies heavily on takes some of the fun away from learning.

I’m trying to recapture it these days by switching to Linux across all my devices and building RasPi projects.

Should have held onto that Lisa II. Probably in a landfill somewhere now, but if I’d known…

Chickens are cold but stalwart in their duties, providing eggs in these trying times. The new pullet is beginning to find her Big Girl voice.

Duncan is a cat. He is doing cat things. 🩷

The puppy loves the snow. She is a big dork. She is also trying out for her role as hat. She will climb on to the back of the sofa and from there rest her head on your head. Dog hat.

Shy cat is hangry, even if she just ate. She will not let you forget that the auto-feeder is always broken and empty even though it is technically full and functioning properly. Her tiny voice speaks only lies.

Monday is one of my days off. It’s a designated self-care day. How that manifests varies. Regular therapy at a minimum.

Fucking grotesque. Hey why not make a lampshade of human skin next time. Sick fucks.

You can buy liquor from Costco without a membership, and it isn’t packaged in bulk. Prices are most likely cheaper than liquor or grocery stores.

KS brands are made for Costco typically in the same places the name brands are and quality is very decent.

Greenland’s opinion doesn’t matter to him, never did.

Doggo is… a puppy. A big, mouthy toddler-raptor who otherwise is super sweet and happy. More snow, please.

New chicken this week. Plymouth Rock pullet is gonna spend some time in quarantine before she meets the ladies in the coop. She is super clingy, likes to cuddle. The other chickens are… cold, cranky and bored. Winter is yuck.

Cat is cat. King of his lil castle. Does not like the new coverlet, tyvm, prefers the soft fuzzy blankets.

When I was taking a photography class, we got up before dawn and went down the beach. I got to see colors appear over the Atlantic that I’d never seen in the sky. I watched them swirl in the low tide surf. The sun came up in inches, and the light was pure magic.

Y’all can keep your negativity circle jerk. I’ll worry about the things in my life I can actually control instead of constantly wasting my time and energy bitching on the Internet about a guy that I will never be able to influence on any way whatsoever.

Is that why you keep responding with vitriol, repeatedly, to people on the internet whose minds you cannot change?

“But you just did! …wait!”

Well unfortunately he lives in a blue state in a blue county so… sol

Just started getting into her music last year. Talented artist. Even more respect.

I don’t think they’ve ever given a fuck about praise from progressives. This is just a reset back their default position facilitated by the election of a fascist pos. Protections have always been lip service at best. They’ll soak up the praise as long as it’s profitable to do so and not a moment longer.

Don’t hear much about that when Florida gets butt fucked by a hurricane, I wonder where they are hiding

They only found six?
