0 posts on the community, and community owner hasn't been active in 6 months. I think this could help people who don't feel good with how they look.

My goal is to allow image posts every 3 months, so if someone wants to do a progress post, they can - with the safety net that we won't let 2 people spam the community.

Only if it becomes photoshops of people in crates.

not necessary, you are a 10/10, dear reader

We actually use the Tufnel scale here. 11/11.

Because it has been clinically proven that people on Lemmy are 10% more attractive.

[–] Lightborne 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

....why don't you just make 10 more attractive?

...this one goes to eleven.

Nah. Whoever you are you're probably average. Be honest and accept it. This superficial crap sets the standard that being ugly is so bad you should deny reality.

It's not factual reality, it's people's opinions, which vary over the whole globe. What is or is not attractive to an individual varies depending on the environment they grew up in.

For instance, some cultures think being skinnier is more attractive, where others think being heavier is more attractive. So which is it?

It’s not factual reality, it’s people’s opinions

This is a massive cop out. You can reduce everything to blithe meaningless with this sort of thinking. Like, you can literally say that human shit tastes great.

If you've got no chin and a hunchback, you're going to have to go looking for the exceptions before you find anyone who likes the look. If you run around convincing yourself you're a 10 out of 10 you're just lying to yourself.

I'm afraid reality really is that subjective, when it comes to opinion things like like/don't like. You could approach it statistically if you want, but your results will vary widely depending on what kinds of people you ask.

If that's a cop out, then all I have to say is life can be a pain in the ass sometimes, where shit isn't always easy to figure out.

Combination hug box and troll farm? Count me in!

Why take over? You know you can host your own instance and create your own, right?

Why do something for free, when you can spend your time AND money on it

[–] JonsJava 2 points 9 months ago

Doing it right takes time. Time I didn't have.

Hosting it here, with their army of volunteers, is much easier.
