Probably would've gotten the same result even if you asked the absent users. Lemmy 196 is nice and lively as far as Lemmy goes, but it's no match to reddit's userbase, and that one has clearly gotten tired of the protest after a while.

People who don't recognise my shoddily delivered irony (among others) ☹️

The creator can still feel like shit for making a bad/unpopular video when they see the number of dislikes, so it still has a point for me.

Maybe it affects the algorithm or something. And it allows the users to at least feel like they're expressing their feelings, without outright denying the option like Facebook used to do.

Some comment said the defed has been reverted now. For what it's worth, I can access https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/[email protected] with no problem.

A commenter in the linked post is suggesting that dbzer0 automatically follows lemmy.world’s block list.

Doesn't make much sense, because e.g. dbzer0 federates with Hexbear, unlike World.

EDIT: I don't understand why people are downvoting OP? It's a normal question.

I'm not having any success with the former :/

Is it meant to be used to find useful stuff, or just random neat and archaic sites?

Hey there, fellow political enthusiasts and furry friend lovers! We're Alex and Taylor, and we're on a mission to document our obsession with congressional apportionment. But, we're not doing it alone – our faithful companions, Nero the dog 🐶 and Scipio the cat 🐱, are along for the ride. 🚗

As many of you know, congressional apportionment is the process of determining how many seats each state gets in the U.S. House of Representatives. It's a topic that might make some people yawn, but for us, it's like a thrilling adventure!

This is art.

Hot but correct take.

The edited punctuation is indeed easier to read, exactly why it was introduced. But, regarding the "indended pace": Dickinson used her unorthodox punctuation with intent, and if the pace feels jarring, and/or forces you to pause and reconsider - that's likely what she really intended.

Well I do see many people posting poems just so, without the authors, not just by mistake. So this one ticked me off, especially because I really wanted to know who the author is :D

The second comment wasn't meant as criticism directed at you, but at the editor. This version with normalised punctuation is indeed very widespread online.

I don't really understand why people post poems online without providing their attribution. Perhaps poems are perceived as something similar to proverbs, small floating bits of wisdom without a specific, individual author.

Unrelated to that, it's interesting to note that this particular rendition is not a very "loyal" representation of the original manuscript. Emily Dickinson used dashes extremely frequently in her poetry, and this edition appears to remove them completely, replacing them with more conventional punctuation. You can see the original manuscript at https://dickinsonsbirds.org/project/poems/210 - IMO this editorial decision isn't justifiable.
