CL is great! I def go there first, but only for buying and selling local used stuff, I usually use eBay for things I don't mind shipping wherever incl internationally

Yea, eBay prioritizes the buyer, always.

But realistically, what other choice is there for a seller that isn't Amazon to FB marketplace?

Blocks tab, scroll to bottom for "Instance Block" section, add "lemmy.ml" done and done

Disclaimer, on Lemmy instance "block" isn't really a block, more like a mute. So while you wont see posts from the blocked instances comms, you will still see individual users of that instance posts/comments if they post anywhere else

For an explainer on the current issue at hand with .ml, the megathread has an explanation and documentation for you https://lemmy.world/post/29072279

Join the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance!

And consider donating to individual instances instead.

Check the megathread for more!

That's a good idea, I was quite explicit in my messages with them so it might work lol

Lol no, all my .ml crossposts are 100% done by my hands

I actually couldn't automate it anyways, because the risk of accidentally cross-posting some Russian propaganda or NK simping meme would be too great LMAO

Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.

Megathread on the issue

Some highlights from the link:

"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

"NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

That just links to the mailing list, this is a link to the repo itself

I knew I should have checked it when I cross-posted it from .ml 🀦

Added, lmk if it is sufficient

Nah, it's partially working and the parts I ordered was to bring it back into full functionality.

There are 2 fuse circuits in my microwave, one for if you run just the microwave and a high load one for if you run the microwave AND the vent fan on high

The fuse for the first blew, so the work around is needing to turn the fan on before microwaving anything lmao

It's more of a "breaks the flow of the show" kinda thing more than the songs themselves for me
