[–] kadu@lemmy.world 63 points 1 year ago

Beans? I was here for strategies on how not to poop for three days

[–] paciencia@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] exu@feditown.com 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You forgot "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" Literally every thread about Meta or reddit.

[–] SQL_InjectMe@partizle.com 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, Enshittify

And yet people still want to federate with meta for some reason

The new one is are we defererating from Threads.

Not in ML of course, but the discussion goes on on other instances.

  • Should we/let's defederate with X?
[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think we should federate with Heinz and their beans

[–] trouser_mouse@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Plenty of tropes available to fill up the card:

Lemmy is becoming reddit, reeeeee!

Elon Musk Hate.

Are we still doing X?

My breakup letter to reddit.

Repost ancient memes as if its new and clever.

[–] nLuLukna@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The ancient memes are great though. Like be honest, you laughed at the stupid 2001 meme

Don't forget "Lemmy feels higher quality than reddit" followed by several hot posts that are compressed and re-reposted memes with pixel densities low enough to count.

And the "I'm glad Lemmy doesn't have the reddit hivemind" followed by posts with whole threads of comments straight out of reddit "AmericaBad" thought train.

Pretty much, all of these things can be summed up by "suddenly acting better than reddit while acting identically", I guess.

And "How do I block an entire instance"

[–] collegefurtrader@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] can@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Connect and Voyager (formerly wefwef) both support this now.

[–] KluEvo@wirebase.org 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ooo wefwef finally renamed itself

"Can we have something like multireddits please"

"Can someone explain how the Fediverse works"

"I'm making a new Lemmy app"

"I can't wait for [x] to make a Lemmy app"

"Wtf is a tankie"

"Rule"

"[A meme about being trans]"

"[A meme about being neuro-atypical]"

"[A meme you have seen reposted a dozen times elsewhere]"

"I miss Apollo"

PS, I dont mean this in a bad way. I love Lemmy and it is hugely encouraging to see so many people use it. I'm just poking fun at trends I'm seeing emerge.

The journey is not about the destination. It’s the trends we make along the way.

Maybe I'm just older and have been on the internet longer, but it doesn't feel as much like the "early days" as it does feel like when I first came to Reddit after Digg died (without ever having been a Digg user; it just was a coincidence that I discovered Reddit because of the hubbub).

I've been online since 1990 tho. I was literally there for the beginning of the "World Wide Web." The true Wild West of the internet.

[–] ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Back before music piracy was a thing; because who's going to download a 3-4MB file on a 14k4 modem? By the time you grab one song you'd have racked up such an internet bill you might as well have bought the single.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I remember spending all day downloading files from a Quake server because I happened upon a server running Team Fortress and had to download the mod. On a 28.8k dial-up modem. It was like 500MB or something.

Then of course when I get into the game, it's on ctf_crosstheborder and was the most confusing thing I had ever encountered.

How are you forget about the glorious beans!!

Handsome Beanward would have your head if he wasn’t a warm and beany ruler.

50 lashes in the bean dungeon for you!

[–] trouser_mouse@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I admit I haven't figured out where all the porn is hiding.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 17 points 1 year ago (3 children)

lemmynsfw.com, your instance may have defederated with it. Supposedly many are because they don't want it on their server.

[–] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like this is a major oversight to how lemmy works. I feel like instances should be able to maintain overall federation, but 'disable' another instance by default, so that it's virtually invisible unless a user turns it on themselves. NSFW tag is way too broad, it encompasses so much more than porn

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 12 points 1 year ago

The concern is often not preventing their users from seeing the content but preventing their servers from "hosting" to the content for liability reasons.

How dare you make a meta meme about Lemmy without mentioning the beans or the 3 days no poop challenge!

You forgot the self-refferential meta bingo post.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

Here, I fixed it for you:

[–] wasabi@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago

Where is "Petition to defederate from X because Y?"

[–] VanillaDrink@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

New apps every week! lol

[–] Silviecat44@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago (8 children)

I am glad that i realised I could just block the tankies instead of arguing with them

While we are at it, why do I see 2-3 year old posts in my stream?
