I deleted my account and no longer browse there. I've only looked at posts for niche technical problems as a last resort. I was using libreddit or teddit but both those seem to have died, if there is any other way to view individual posts without giving them traffic please share it!

My underrated picks would be **Melancholia **(2011) about a planet passing unsettlingly close to the Earth during a wedding, and **Coherence **(2013) about a group of friends gathering for a dinner party on an evening when a comet is passing overhead.

Typing this out I realise they actually both sound quite similar but I promise you they are very, very different and worth a watch.

I was thinking this also when I saw some thai football (or something) related posts in /m/cats. The sole moderator is @Jay, who has never posted anything. At all. And they are also the sole moderator of /m/iphone and /m/chicagobears.

I know there was talk of reclaiming a magazine abandoned by the mod like this but I think it really needs to be addressed soon, as currently you can spam anywhere quite successfully (like the drug post in /m/fediverse) and even with downvotes the post will be on the front page for quite some time.

Yeah if anything they have proven to be incredibly adaptable . Absorbing local pagan rituals to stay popular/relevant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_and_paganism#Pagan_influences_on_Christianity. I'm sure they would find a mental-gymnastics way to rationalise intelligent life on another planet and how it's all part of God's plan.

I really recommend The Wailing (2016), a unique Korean horror that stayed in my thoughts for quite some time.

Alongside that, also check out The Innocents (1961) for some vintage horror, and I see Babadook (2014) hasn't been mentioned yet, that one is also a favourite of mine.

Yes I'm experiencing the same, seeing lemmy and other communities even though federation is deactivated. I assume just another bug that will be sorted soon enough. I see @Hypx commented in the issues thread about it a few hours ago: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/2426/kbin-Issues#entry-comment-530441

Agree with this. We should remember that doctor-making-150k is far closer to being homeless than they are to a billionaire, with their individual wealth rivaling small countries.

I remember seeing a literally default excel chart as one of the top posts. And it wasn't upvoted in an ironic way.
