What I really hate is when people don’t capitalize the abbreviation US, because it makes me think they’re saying “us” as in “we,” or “oui” as the French like to say.

So, after reading a lot of the comments, I figured I’d offer my two cents:

What I eat depends on what I feel I need at the moment a lot more than what I’m in the mood for. And because of this, I try to eat as healthily as possible and as a result- it usually ends up being on the vegetarian side of things. Think pastas, fruits/veggies, etc. Occasionally though, it’s a burger, or something else that is meat-based.

What I don’t do however, is spend any time at all being concerned with what others choose to eat, and that is because it has no relevance to me whatsoever.

For the life of me I cannot understand why this is a thing that matters so deeply to so many people when there are FAR more important things to worry about.

If vegans don’t want to eat meat, who cares? They are happy living their life this way. Leave them alone about it. It’s their choice, their diet- and none of your business.

If someone wants to eat a steak, who cares? They are happy living their life this way. Leave them alone about it. It’s their choice, their diet- and none of your business.

The sooner we all stop actively participating in the habits and interests of others unsolicited, the sooner we can start taking on some of the things that actually matter.

Strangely, a lot of people recently:

Maybe a successful TV show has/had a character named Buckley? All I can think of is Andy Buckley (The guy that played David Wallace in The Office). It tracks with the time-frame the name became popular, but it’s probably unlikely.

I mean, as cool as he was in that show, I’m not sure he’s an “I’m going to name my child after that guy!” kind of cool.

Aside from him, there’s a character named “Evan Buckley” who was in a show called 9-1-1. But that aired around 2018, which is too recent to have inspired people to name their crotch gremlins after.

Then there is Jeff Buckley (Hallelujah) who was a musician that passed away in 1997. Maybe the uptick is a result of people who were fans?

EDIT: Vyvanse kicked in and when on a detail-oriented binge of edits.

Never saw:
• Game of Thrones
• Breaking Bad
• The Walking Dead
• Maybe have only seen 2 or 3 Marvell movies.
• Haven’t seen a single episode of any anime.
• Couldn’t name a famous YouTuber if I tried.

I’m sure there’s more, but for now, that what I can come up with.

It’s to scare their base.

Heyooooo! Mountain’s out!

I’m near certain that there won’t be any way they can explain it without crayon drawings on the back of Hooters receipts.

Washingtonian here. I’m sure we’ll have them regardless of what that oaf says.

We need to be very careful about overreaching with regards to pulling comments of/banning users that are showin to be at least making an attempt to debate/disagree in good faith.

Especially now. Everyone is stressed and scared for our friends and our families, and our uncertain future. So there is bound to be some people that need to vent.

Lemmy should be that place. A forum that promotes debate. And if we (mods) bestow upon ourselves the authority to determine what people can and cannot disagree with, it’ll get pretty boring around here.

So we try and let things carry out to their natural conclusion as much as possible. If it seems it’s devolving into a slap-fight, we reluctantly step in to break it up.

Hope this helps.

Gotta ask both of you to shut this down.

Found this song watching the show Suits. It’s gorgeous!

 

On IOs, If I were to, for example, remove a comment for “misinformation,” when the word is typed out and autocomplete is used, submitting the action via the remove button doesn’t work. Essentially, pressing it does nothing at all. My theory is that It could have to do with the additional space that autocomplete creates, but even backspacing doesn’t correct the issue.

The only way to resolve this is to start over, and manually type out the entire word or phrase without using autocomplete or autocorrect.

Not a huge issue, but I don’t know if this causes other problems elsewhere.

(Admittedly, I know nothing at all about coding… including if that’s even the correct term for it)

A few Reddit apps did this back in the day and it was very convenient. If there were a link to Reddit posted anywhere, selecting it would open the app instead of the webpage.

(Really hope I’m explaining this correctly. I’m not family with the terminology I’m probably needing here)

Is this going to be a thing, or… could it be a thing?

EDIT: This is for iOS by the way.

 

That PleasantPolitics bot is obnoxious! Also, there’s a few mods that use mass auto-removal bots when someone so much as posts comments that they don’t like.

It would be nice to be able to filter these out of the modlog feed. (If it’s even possible)

If I go to ban a user, it shows successful in the app, but no mod logs will show the user banned, and they’re able to continue to post- after a ban via Voyager app

I have to go outside of voyager to do any ban moderation. Has this always been a thing?

EDIT: it seems it works fine for permanent bans. But not for temporary bans.
