It’s how language works.

We are flying to the moon, not to land on it, but to orbit it. That’s still to the moon. We’re not flying to the sun, or flying to mars. We’re flying to the moon.

Who cares?

Well, there’s two answers to this and I think both are valid viewpoints to consider:

1. Who cares? Be yourself, be who you’re going to be, spread joy, even if that joy is only seen by yourself
2. Who cares? We all care. We’re all part of the communities in which we exist and participate. Don’t shit all over those communities.

Which is sort of how you can differentiate between the individualism as emphasized in the US, vs. the communalism as seen in places like Japan. Each has advantages and disadvantages.

So you’re right, and I agree with you. Except it’s tempered with caring for others. :) <3

But the trick is that they have to be EXACTLY million-to-one.

Odds and stakes are different, for one

I always avoided /r/nevertellmetheodds over on reddit because I always wanted to post “100%” in the comments.

It’d’ve made me laugh, but not a very original joke, nor funny to most people.

This is why orange cats are loudest.

I’m on Windows and got a browser running under WSL and so far, that seems to have worked, along with me using the account extremely minimally. lol

Ah, gotcha, I hadn’t caught that between the lines. :)

Yeah, I think it’ll be pretty trivial to get around. Anyone wanting to post automatically just has to sign up manually, do whatever checking, then post using some sort of scraper i.e. directly to the site rather than via the API. Which probably a lot of bots are doing now rather than bothing to set up the API… heh

I guess it’s good that they’re trying to do a positive thing (ignoring all the shit they’re doing outside of it), but it’s probably not going to help much.

Yes, but what does that have to do with my comment? (edit: they explained the context below)

The article basically says that posting using the API will get posts labeled as “[App]”. That’s what it boils down to. They even talk about human accounts using AI to write posts.

That’s about the level of thing that caused me a coupld of my bans, so sounds about right.

Why do I need to go talk in places I’m not interested in talking, with people who I don’t care for,

Because Lemmy is slower!

hehe, kidding

the top 90% of comments arent the same reddit jokes

I am doing my part to change that, mind. (hopefully not really) :)

I guess I wasn’t bad enough to be on their radar.

You were a frickin’ saint, because the things I did were either stupid (to call infractions) or really minor. lol.

Or you were lucky or I was unlucky. heh.

time limit on new accounts,

That’s what finally has let me let reddit go - so many subreddits have a thing now where you have to have karma in threads that haven’t hit /r/all yet before you can comment, and that takes time and effort when I just browse /r/all. heh.

Similar here except I went from a warning to a full ban the last two accounts. And for a little while there, when they banned one account, I got a half dozen bans on multis I’d created years ago for some stupid joke and hadn’t used since I created them. heh.

They just really have decided they don’t want the older users around, I guess.

Before I gave up on reddit completely, I was getting lots of 429 errors. Although asking around, some were, some weren’t. Still not sure they weren’t targeting me - apparently I hit their radar and they ban my accounts whenever they figure out it’s me (I just want to mod in my local subreddit, I’ve slowly disengaged from everything else). heh

Last I checked, old.reddit had about 2% of the users. So yeah, it’ll be shut down whenever they get around to it, I’d imagine. Whenever they add something that breaks it, it’ll be gone.

Is that like ligma?

Yes, however, “demolitionable” doesn’t work because demolition is a noun, not a word. For something to be “able” to have something done to it, it must be in the verb form. But I was being silly anyway :)

Ah, forgot about gas issues, was just thinking fur issues. I had a sick cat recently and that’s one reason I knew she was sick because she wasn’t grooming properly.

Yours is hilarious and… very cat. <3

demolitionable

Oof. “Demolishable”, unless you’d rather conversate than converse. lol
