Ah, I see. Makes a kind of sense as to why there’s less nasty insults, but still insults. In that regard, maybe the name is a benefit. If people think civility is mandatory, they’ll think a bit more before slinging mud, or at least do so subtly.

Very Jeffersonian of you, but Jefferson was kind of a piece of shit when it came to anyone who wasn’t a property owning white man.

Is this really pleasant? Back handed insults are still insults.

Isn’t the point of this place to first be decent to each other?

Dang.

I just ran across this community, and I’m disappointed.

This comment is straightforward, on topic, and pleasant, but is sitting here in the negative.

Looks like the point of the place is being ignored.

It doesn’t take much. There’s no reports, and nobody has done anything to break rules.

Everything that went wrong with reddit turned me into a passive user. I scroll, but I rarely vote or comment.

Besides, I burnt all the bridges during the protests and by refusing to play nice afterwards. I couldn’t go back if I wanted to, not without jumping through hoops to make a new account and keep it isolated. Fuck reddit, fuck spez. And, fuck r/edc too. I did my best, it wasn’t good enough, so that’s that.

You’re good to go.

As long as posts aren’t ads disguised as posts, and it’s EDC related, there’s no problem.

Pocket dumps are nice, not mandatory.

Influence your opinion? Dude, I’m just sharing info. Nothing else

Is this a joke?

FWIW, that’s someone directly saying that their goal is to go out and proselytize.

Good news! It works! You can indeed use old backups, and it (so far) works without issue

And it is glorious!

Everything is gorgeous :)

It’s like coming home after a long trip.

I have found a bug though. Logging in to sh.itjust.works seems to cause crashes that other instances don’t (so far). Lemmy.world, ttrpg.network, and sopuli.xyz haven’t crashed at all so far. Haven’t tested any others yet since I want to take a bit to just enjoy the app.

Seriously, Dawson, thank you for this :)

Edit: found a very minor thing in the comment markdown menu. The >!spoiler!< markdown on lemmy is different than reddit uses. The >! Doesn’t work here.

Spoiler is weird on lemmy. It’s

::: spoiler

Text

:::

Supposedly. However, it doesn’t actually work at all in most apps.

The reddit >! Works in sync, but not elsewhere.

Fuck yeah! One of the more obscure but great folk metal bands

I dunno, I was up and running in five minutes. You pick an instance, you sign up, you verify the email, and you’re good to go. What server doesn’t matter much, barring it closing unexpectedly and without warning. There’s not enough users to need more than a handful.

Eh, if it were easier to block an instance as a user, I’d be 100% with you instead of 95%.

There are instances that are batshit crazy. Since blocking an instance as a user just ain’t possible yet, I can see why defederation before trouble gets going is useful. Once the nasty side of the internet gets snowballing, it’s much harder to manage.

Troll, or serious extremist, some things are just cancerous.

::: spoiler test testing

Aha! That got it. Three colons. Spoiler, then the text for the spoiler listing, an enter, n closing `::: and then it works. It doesn’t work without the enter before the spolied text, which is just confusing and annoying imo. The >! Markdown is so much better.

But! You can enter anything after the initial ::: spoiler as the text to show before clicking

It’s working on mobile browser for me, but not on jerboa. Jerboa doesn’t seem to recognize several markdown notations.

that’s a screenshot with the spoiler entry from the little triangle with an ! In it from the entry box

Edit: and the jerboa update didn’t bring full markdown support lol

Redundancy is never a bad thing

I’m not seeing a problem with that statement

Fuck! I have been missing my metalmemes fix. It is the sub that could make me literally lol every day.

This right here is some top grade memeage :)
