No, it is only you who are annoyed at this.

/s 😁

Bold to presume that we would want to survive it.

Fwiw Musk says that he wants to leave Earth and go to Mars, which is great news for the rest of us:-).

Other reasons to avoid, besides those already mentioned here, include that you will not be allowed to say things offhand about countries such as Russia or China or North Korea with your same account even in communities located on other instances. You either comply FULLY, even when elsewhere, or else you are banned from the entire instance. You can read more about such practices in communities like !fediverselore@lemmy.ca.

Also a lot of other “not extremists” have blocked that instance altogether, so besides having access to your community able to be yanked out from under you at any time (far more than usual I mean), you also will miss out on interactions with those other people. You will be willfully choosing to remain inside of that echo chamber, which is such to a significantly higher degree than the vast majority of Lemmy overall, and legitimately much higher than even Reddit (no joke, again, read for yourself the stories in that and other communities). Whereas if you choose a community not on Lemmy.ml, then you can still interact with people from that instance, just elsewhere.

Also, you could be told that the mod hopes to kill you someday. Sadly, I’m not joking there either (some selected quotes: "nono I don’t want to shoot for pointing that it’s a game, I want to shoot you because…”, and then later tripling down still further, e.g. stating “I hope you die soon.”).

See e.g. https://lemmy.world/post/22359447.

Omg I can just hear that!

Let’s see if this can play (nope, I am not smart enough to do that, but here’s the link anyway):

You are a treasure to have on the Fediverse, we are fortunate to have you helping so much:-).

Well we know it’s not oil or the USA would have explored it already… (\s:-P)

Btw Admiral Patrick has embedded Loops videos at https://tesseract.dubvee.org/c/loops@midwest.social. It’s a full embed of the video, though not full integration of Loops as you were saying - e.g. there’s no heart icon or comments, though he keeps adding more features to the embed like metadata display. Cool! 😎

@return2ozma@lemmy.world

You deserve an explanation as to why your cross-post of this was removed from !AskUSA@Discuss.Online: that instance has higher standards (though not quite Beehaw level) and we try to keep things “welcoming”, thus we made our top community rule #1 to “be nice”. And I felt that coming out swinging calling the whole country a “hellhole” went against that rule. I see that that is the top rule in this community as well, but I suppose there are differences in interpretation as to what that means.

Options from here: You may appeal to the head mod @m_f@discuss.online if you wish, as it does not strictly violate the rules of Discuss.Online itself. And/or you could re-phrase the title. Or you could even make a post asking for clarification of the rules/expectations - although note that this was already done recently and by far people seemed to express distaste for all the politics stuff, so we try to direct that to !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world instead. I’ve posted there myself in the last week, almost made another post there yesterday as well, and I highly recommend that community for things such as this. In fact, their sidebar text says that they love such self-posts of commentary, as opposed to like “news”, and even “discussion of and disagreement about issues is encouraged!”

So I get that you wanted to vent and discuss, and there absolutely are places to do that, I just wanted to protect the members of that community in particular from being constantly barraged with politics, bc as you seem to agree, dayum that shit gets old fast - it becomes overwhelming to so many of us to see all the BS that goes down almost daily now:-(. And maybe that’s one way that we can deal, by placing limits on how often we have to think about it each day:-).

I love Josh Johnson! I hope to see him behind the chair in TDS soon.

Bc it’s so far past that it has become its own thing. Like there’s “mental illness”, and then there’s “Florida”!:-P

I would say that this is perfection, if it weren’t for the simple fact that most states are in far more danger of Ohio than this shows… :-D

Profits.

It used to still be a worthwhile investment though. These days… it can be, but it’s not guaranteed. You also can learn most things online for free, so what is it even getting for you, really?

Connections.

But that only if you are willing to push for them, and so many kids are only there purely bc their parents send them, like an extended daycare or continuation of high school. I’m not saying it’s not worthwhile, but it requires a VERY serious commitment, and so many people are not willing to live up to that.

See also the recent discussion in !AskUSA@discuss.online Is college in the USA worth the financial investment?

Usually I find it funny to say “por que no los dos?”… but yeah I don’t think that works here!:-P

And I managed to finish it too, yay!

It was cleaning mold, so it really truly did just NEED to be done!

Although, they all do, really. Adulting requires much effort.:-P

I… well, I started on my task. I did not finish though:-(.

But at least I started? :-)

Okay, I at least started ONE of them.

The rest… can all rot in hell, apparently:-|.

I hear this so hard:-). Maybe we can both start our respective projects today - even just for 5 minutes to get over that hurdle of “starting” it?

That would probably help, if your goal is to finish the project:-).
