That honestly seems like a reasonable response from Proton. You signed up for their paid service; you’re not entitled to a refund because you weren’t paying attention

I’m honestly not sure what you were trying to convey in that text

What is your special interest? in c/asklemmy

Overblown/unfounded privacy concerns, perhaps?

[Summoning Salt]The History of Super Mario’s Hidden Ending in c/[email protected]

[–] fjordbasa 1 points 2 days ago

Summoning Salt rarely does anything “new” in his videos but when I think about it, there’s no need. His style is super comfy. Love the build up, love the music, always great explanations.

You’re actually the odd one out here. Free refills are nearly universal across the US

This site does a pretty good job of what you’re asking

Pavlov and Shrodinger bumped into each other once. in c/dadjokes

[–] fjordbasa 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Shroedinger’s cat is a paradox, but what does Pavlov’s dog bring to the joke? There’s no mention of bells or operant conditioning or anything like that. It seems like the “joke” is just that they’re both animals related to scientific concepts

"It would have taken way too many panels to show you." in c/outofcontextcomics

While absurd, it is providing a lot of context in the panel itself

There are a significant amount of questions here that do not follow the criteria in the sidebar, especially “1. Open-ended question” and “5. An actual topic of discussion”. It seems some folks want others to do research for them, or to troubleshoot some random issue.

This bugs me. Of course, I can ignore and/or downvote those posts, and I do. However, I’m wondering if anyone else feels the same way. I’m don’t want to stifle content and discussion on such a burgeoning platform, but could we do something about this?

Perhaps we could “tag” posts in some way (I know tags aren’t officially supported yet) or maybe we could redirect folks to a sister community for non-discussion questions. Or something else?

Just throwin’ it out there. If I’m alone in this, I’ll take my lumps and quietly sit back down.

EDIT: Already seeing good points in the replies! makes sense- probably a bit too early to be sticklers about topics.

EDIT 2: Really appreciate the responses and discussion! I appreciate the discourse and also not being downvoted to oblivion 😄

FINAL EDIT: Thanks to all who commented. It’s nice to know I’m not alone, but I do accept what most (including mods) have said- cracking down on the types of questions is not a priority when the community is still growing.
