sub might turn into orca only sub

For those of you out of the loop, Reddit admins took it upon themselves to remove a meme about Orca's attacking yachts. source

Not even that...literally a screenshot of an article by The Atlantic saying the orcas are bad for attacking boats and then underneath it a scene from The Office with the caption altered to say "You know what? Now I'm going to root for the orcas even harder." source

Just quit going over there.

Until the Fediverse becomes much larger than it currently is, ditto the robustness of communities here, there's really not much choice for users like me but to keep visiting both sites for the time being.

@JohnnyEnzyme

@trachemys @Kalkaline

yeah, what choice is there? they might have to be BORED for a few minutes, otherwise. can you imagine that? looking into the void and not having reddit to distract you? i mean, i just thought about that for 5 seconds and I shit my pants twice.

What communities do you miss from over there?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dozens & dozens. For example, I currently have 14 multi-reddits set up. One of them that I've named "flood" contains the subs below.

/r/altcomixx /r/AmerExitx /r/AmItheAssholex /r/Aquariumsx /r/AskRedditx /r/badhistoryx /r/catsonglassx /r/cfsx /r/Chinax /r/ChoosingBeggarsx /r/ColorizedStatuesx /r/comicstriphistoryx /r/fuckHOAx /r/graphicnovelsx /r/guineapigsx /r/HobbyDramax /r/howitsmadex /r/HybridAnimalsx /r/IDOWORKHERELADYx /r/IndianCountryx /r/japanx /r/japanlifex /r/kidsinthehallx /r/KitchenConfidentialx /r/KITHx /r/learnfrenchx /r/mashx /r/minipaintingx /r/Miniworldsx /r/Nipponx /r/OldSchoolRidiculousx /r/PixelArtx /r/plantclinicx /r/PoliticalHumorx /r/PropagandaPostersx /r/puzzlesx /r/reclaimedbynaturex /r/slavelabourx /r/spelunkyx /r/spicyx /r/StartledCatsx /r/Survivalx /r/ThriftStoreHaulsx /r/TwoXChromosomesx /r/vintageadsx /r/whatsthisbirdx /r/whatsthisbugx /r/whatsthisplantx /r/youarefiredx

AFAIK there is currently no way to do the equivalent of multi-reddits in Lemmy, which is basically a way to do custom-themed streams of content.

There's a bot that scrapes the data for you. Just paste this into your lemme.ee search bar - https://lemmit.online/c/altcomix, for example.

And while you’re at it, quit telling me what’s going on over there.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm new to the whole Lemmy thing, but isn't this the snoo-calypse forum, dedicated exclusively to discussion of Reddit?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

My guess is it's people who aren't sorting their feed by subscribed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is cartoon-level villainy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

if spez were old enough to grow a moustache, he'd be twirling it

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Please don't tie being able to have a moustache to age. Not everyone has the genes to grow one, even if they are born male.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It’s pretty narrow minded to limit growing a mustache to those born male.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

That wasn't my intention, nor the content of my comment.

Note the "even if". That means we're starting from a position of everybody eventually being able to grow a moustache if they get old enough and note that it isn't the case. Then we check if it's the case for everyone born male, and again it's not the case. At no point did we assume that there were no people born female who are eventually able to grow a moustache with age, though it is implied that not being able to grow a moustache regardless of age is less uncommon among people born female or at least perceived to be.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It is partially tied to age. Age is one of the requirements to grow a moustache, even if (as you correctly pointed out) not the only one.

But you're missing the point, really. What the poster above is highlighting is that spez isn't just a comic villain, he's a childish one.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Don't worry, I understood the point perfectly. It's just that you can be an adult male and still not be able to grow a moustache, and implying those people aren't adults isn't nice.
