Just a, maybe naive, question from a noob to this kind of topic, but I wondered what Elon Musk once did on a stage, holding a chainsaw as if it was Excalibur. Then later I stumbled upon the Milei incident ~(from 2023)~ and just now I came across a promo for gardening equippment (see the added pic above) and what was placed prominently their? Not gloves or a hosepipe, secateurs or a lawn mover, but a chainsaw and the phrase "STIHL One-Man Power Chain Saw since 1959" ~[Emphasised by me]~

Is it just me, correlation, or is this some new kind of … of masculinism or the like and if so: do you think, that it is promoted by some peer groups or rather happens "naturally"?

And last but not least: If this is the wrong place to ask such questions, then please feel free to just remove my post. 🙂

Just seen somewhere else and thought, it might fit here as well.

Hi, I'm a complete novice to Mlem, after my former app got worse and worse. I tried to rearrange everything in a way, I can enjoy (and it's already far, far better, than with the previous app I used 😃). But: The feed-sidebar on the left, showing the instances I follow and so on, is always open by default, when I start the app. Is it possible (or could it be made so if it's not possible yet) to have the feed sidebar being closed by default, when one starts the app? 🥺

Was oben steht. Ich würde nicht nur Communities,sondern auch einzelnen User*innen gerne folgen, aber es sieht so aus, dass das hier nicht geht, nicht vorgesehen ist?
