I’ve had a box in my cabinet for a couple weeks, gonna make it now thanks to you.

Do they call them subterrenes (similar to submarines) in the industry or is that term a ridiculous steampunk conceit? Big respect here for those who tunnel
Did your coworkers crack a lot of jokes about The Underminer from The Tick and Krang from Ninja Turtles?
Lemmy is missing the small communities and frankly, most of the medium sized communities that Reddit has. I don’t find the userbase that toxic but of course there is the occasional twat to deal with, luckily the blocking system is more robust than Reddit’s. Hopefully user growth will continue and people that still use Reddit will promote Lemmy and the Fediverse there enough to feed the exodus.
They were amazing pioneers of shitposting and circlejerking but some people considered them something of a hate group for their callouts of specific subcultures. I’m suggesting that aspect of things that OP is describing isn’t exactly new.
But yeah, agreed, the swift, stark ban policy was very effective in creating a “civil” society there - idiots showed up to fuck around, bam hope they’ve got 10 more bucks if they want to try again under a different account.

Porn, anime, sports, a bunch of video games I don’t play, and some spammy or obnoxious communities too. Oh, and foreign languages I don’t speak (until we get built-in translation)

Bitter butter makes batter bad. Better butter makes bitter batter better.
I agree with your point, but balaclava is the hat, baclava is the delicious Greek pastry.
I’ve got an FM transmitter I use to listen to music in the car and it connects with a headphone jack so I still buy phones that have it. I also am fond of the physical home button so that limits my choices further. Luckily inexpensive late model Samsungs are easy enough to come by, I don’t game on my phone so processing power isn’t a concern.
Then they’re dependent on the employer-provided health care and less able to leave!
Everything2.org was a significant wikipedia competitor back in the early 00s. It’s still up but I havent been there in a decade and a half. Could be worth your time, it was interesting to get lost in back in the Web 1.0 days
I can’t be the only person who when Uttar Pradesh is abbreviated always thinks of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Yes I know this is World News
