Me using my scratched teflon pans.

[–] WhatAmLemmy 27 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (3 children)

That's every "non-stick" pan after 1-2 months of daily use.

All non-stick, "scratch resistant" pans are a marketing gimmick designed to have the average consumer-moron buy 30 pans in their lifetime, than simply learn how to season pans properly and hand 2 or 3 Iron/steel pans down their family lineage for generations, across hundreds of years.

Ceramic ones are a bit better but for the most part this is correct. There really isn't a clear reason not to cook with steel or iron, they tend to be the best options for 99.9% of applications. Only thing that I can think of is cooking eggs at a lower temp, but iron does that fine if the seasoning is really good.

My scanpan has been in use for at least 6 years unscratched

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't even know what my pans are.

😏 be like me and use a cast iron skillet that weighs a ton, never is slick like you see on the internet, and is a removed (really Lemmy? Auto censor?? FFS) to clean

In all seriousness, I just made scrambled eggs on the ol' beast and they turned out decent. Far from non stick but it's non cancer at least.

That's your instance, ml is a turd like that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I have no clue how Lemmy works. I made an account and just assumed that was that.

[–] PugJesus 18 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Each 'instance' has slightly different rules that apply. Mostly it doesn't affect users, as you can interact with other instances just fine.

Lemmy.ml censors a number of common curses and is run by Uyghur genocide deniers.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Well that's unfortunate. What are more ideal instances of Lemmy? Thanks for the explanation, by the way.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 weeks ago

I'm on sh.itjust.works and haven't heard of any issues with it, it's been working pretty well.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Lemmy.world is currently the most popular large instance, Lemmy.today is another one. There are A LOT of instances to pick from if you'd rather connect to one closer to your region or attuned to your personal tastes, and they can all access posts from other instances so if you think an instance is run by people you can trust then feel free to make an account there.

To add onto Pug Jesus' explanation, each instance is a self-hosted server separate from all the others. That means they can potentially be removed or re-added to the fediverse at any moment, they all follow their own rules so the only fediverse-wide restrictions are that the instance isn't so insufferable that every other instance blocks them or defederates from them.

EDIT: A list of known servers HERE

I believe the ML there stands for Marxist Leninist (one of the flavors of communism)

Instances to avoid if you dislike censorship or state run propoganda:

Lemmy ml

Slrpnk net

Hexbear

Lemmygrad

Beehaw (not state run, but very "family friendly" strictness)


P.S. I've tested like 58 wizard swears over on 196 bahaj and they only censor removed, which is on brand.

[–] TheTetrapod 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Evidently your current instance censors that last word too.

Oh, huh. I didn't realize .world did that on anything.
