overview for CocktailPlasma

I said in my post that unless there's rules elsewhere I'm just not seeing, the rules on the main instance sidebars for #3 simply say "no porn". So what does that have to do with conspiracy theory communities?

Server rules - am I missing something? in c/[email protected]

[–] CocktailPlasma -4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm aware. But when I look at server rules that simply don't apply what-so-ever to the community removals, and these being some of the largest Lemmy instances out there currently, it just makes me concerned about the moderation currently going on.

Why am I seeing "Subscribe pending" on so many communities? in c/[email protected]

[–] CocktailPlasma 17 points 2 years ago

From what I've seen on other posts about this, it's simply a current bug in the system. If it shows Subscribe Pending, you're subscribed successfully, that button just still shows pending even though it's working as it should. And you'll only see this on subs on other federated instances, not on your own.

Is there any torrent sites that show the newest releases like Rarbg did? in c/[email protected]

[–] CocktailPlasma 4 points 2 years ago

This page on Torrent Galaxy has become my RARBG replacement. Shows new releases without having to sort through all the garbage.

Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit? in c/nostupidquestions

I'm starting to. Trying to force myself to use this one more.

EU votes to mandate removable batteries in smartphones in a landslide; no more glued together junk! in c/android

I did. But while he says society has amnesia, he hasn't fully thought some things through himself. First, he compares to the Sony XP 10 phone. However... That phone has a non removable battery as well. So he screwed that up. Then he compares to the S5. The S5 has 1) a much smaller battery than today's phones, 2) an older and smaller radio, 3) and is something like 15% thicker than the S22, and 4) the S5 was IP67 certified when most devices these days are IP68.

Some concessions will have to be made and they'll have to come from somewhere.

YSK: Installing a bidet attachment to your toilet is super easy and probably cleaner than using toilet paper. in c/youshouldknow

I honestly have no idea why bidets haven't taken off in the US. After travelling to other countries though, had to buy one for my home toilet. And now I hate having to poop elsewhere where there's no bidet.
