The quality of posts and responses since the "exodus" is completely apparent to any longtime reddit users. Admittedly elitist as it is, the spelling and grammar by it self has been base level evidence of that. Not to mention the myriad of other ways its taken a nosedive.

Reddit has already been in decline for a long time, but from the few times I've checked since the protests it's much worse now, and quickly getting even worse. And as you said, most of the people left there do not care which is disappointing.

Unfortunately as optimistic as I was about lemmy, so far I'm not sold. Theres all of the same issues here if not more. We may have witnessed the birth and death of something really cool within a very short time (considering). Even if true options take a decade to build up I think it's too late. The experiment has concluded.

It makes me sad because reddit used to be a really cool place. Rules were about allowing truly contributive content to be disseminated. Up votes were for ideas that added to the conversation in a meaningful way. Downvotes were reserved not for points that were disagreed upon, but thoughts that did not add substance to the conversation. It was a much better community to be a part of back then. That environment just doesn't exist anymore on a broad level.

Morbid but with the amount of school shootings that have happened the more people that can call 911 the better. The kids need the phones to possibly save their lives. Signal blockers are not the answer.

Not living in an echo chamber and not platforming institutions with histories of intentional disinformation (which has led to massive divides in the US and even an attempted insurrection) are two different things. It is widely known they are not to be trusted, and shouldn't be given a platform.

Stop giving these idiots a platform. Stop repeating the stupid bullshit they spew so they go away.

Have family that is in fire... all right or far right.

What always confuses me is that they're one of the highest paid unions in my state. And yet they constantly bitch about socialism.

Same arguments from people I know in the trades, especially electricians.

Do they not know what unions are? How they were formed? Do they not understand how they pay into a big pool so they all get benefits? Aka SOCIALISM???

Here's to being one of the good ones bud. Keep doing what you're doing and fuck the idiots. Keep your head down and retire early.

Edit: I have to add that they're always buddy buddy with law enforcement, who are also massively union. Who also are all right or far right. Makes no sense in my mind.

Whoever owns this bot should stop letting it post fox news bullshit.

Really appreciate the thought.

I lost my fiance to an anyurism a little under two years ago. Haven't really had the will to cook since so it would be wasted on me.

Appreciate you.

My fiance and I loved hellofresh. They send you recipe cards with each meal, and we'd save the good ones so we could store buy the ingredients and make them again.

The meals are varied, but since you pick them I'm sure you could find heart healthy options.

Cost is pricey but they all are. And once you have those cards it's a lot easier to pop into the store and get the ingredients you need if you really liked a meal.

Hard to tell without knowing your grinder.

I have an original ode, grind on a few steps before low, and usually 16-17gs of ground beans. Brewed in a plastic v60 with paper filters, this tends to be fantastic.

There's so many variables here that it's hard to give a good diagnostic. But mentioning the grinder and the brew method might help substantially.

Also, if you already found the sweetspot for the bag youre on don't question it. The quality will change from bag to bag, for this bag if you found 15gs to be what you're looking for then stick with it til the bags gone. Don't look a gift horse in the grill as it were.

For a non reddit meme answer, as those have grown quite old: a quick Google says planting or spraying peppermint around, or used coffee grounds around the roots. Either are a natural deterrent according to Google.

I personally have used coffee grounds as a rose bush fertilizer for a while and it's worked great. Might be a good move if you're a daily coffee drinker.

Fantastic article thanks for posting. I literally just started reading "the aloha shirt" last night and this will provide some great context.

Time to pick up a Sig Zane shirt or two... wallet allowing.

Awesome!

The other thing might be the amount of sun it's getting. My pepper plant leaves start to yellow and fall when they're getting too much sun. I recently moved them to a shadier part of the yard and the yellowing has definitely decreased.

Only other thing I can think of is Temps. My hydrangea plant is absolutely hating the super hot weather we've been having lately and dropped more than half its leaves also. Not much you can do about that outside of moving it inside if its potted.

Sorry just going through all the issues I've had that were similar.

 

Hi there, fresh fledditor learning the ropes around here.

I have noticed there are a couple of communities that haven't been created yet that I was a regular in on reddit. I've been thinking about starting new ones here, but don't really understand who pays for the overhead if I create a new community.

Since this isn't a centralized website like reddit, what infrastructure does a new community depend on and who pays for it?

Thanks yall.
