Networked, autonomous local communities.

I noticed posting from lemmy.world is really buggy. I started composing in another app as a failsafe. Kbin doesn’t seem to have this issue, and maybe other Lemmy instances don’t either.
Given how ruthless the FCC is, the best we can hope for at this point is a deathbed confession.
I saw a post that automatically grabbed a NSFW furry thumbnail pic from somewhere but it wasn’t in the linked article, nor did it show up on Lemmy.
The main subs I follow are more or less back to normal or never protested to begin with. Two tiny subs I mod have been getting hammered with Temu spam and because the built-in moderation tools don’t seem to help I set them to restricted.
The big difference is on /all. Some popular subs have been largely replaced like r/AITA -> r/AITAH & r/TwoHotTakes. But a lot of the usual content is completely missing and in their place are the food delivery and selfie subs.
@sam_uk As we’ve seen on Reddit, a large chunk of people would rather complain about protests temporarily inconveniencing them than about the people in charge making things permanently worse for everyone.
Why is the thumbnail pic a furry?
Someone made a post that said, “I heard people on Lemmy will upvote anything, let’s see if that’s true.” It was a can of beans and did indeed get upvoted. Then everyone just ran with it and made memes.
I haven’t checked, but I assume a lot of these communities would have already been manually added to Kbin.social due to popularity (youshouldknow, ask, memes, tech, etc.)
Everyone would ask them about what was going on behind the scenes and if Spez is as short-sighted as he seems. They’d reply they signed NDAs about most of the questions being asked and quickly regret creating a spontaneous AMA and then never log in under that username again.
I worked a 6-2 shift once. Quite liked it as I am a morning person. Had to go to bed around 9:00 though.
