One toke is over the line? Sweet Jesus!

Outlook.com, duh!

You should get a really powerful slingshot and yeet them right into some petroleum executive’s face!

Dammit, this attacker is sounding more and more adorable!

Damn. Poor guy! He didn’t deserve any of that. I hope this whole shit show results in positive changes and better documentation, but I don’t have high hopes, unfortunately. I hope Sascha is doing okay. Thank you for sharing this great article here!

Hahaha I’m so happy that someone else’s mind went there, too!

Yep, I learned a good bit of it in school. That shit’s helpful.

Good call! Last night, after I finished that article, I liked it enough that I wanted to check out what else they had, and ended up reading a handful from them and their sibling publications and putting the two you mentioned on my RSS feed list. Thank you for donating to places like that & for sharing them with those of us who didn’t know about them!

This is super cool. Thank you for sharing it here. I love articles like this! Ants are wild, neat lil things.

(…)there are roughly 200,000 times more ants on our planet than the 100 billion stars in the Milky Way.

I just cannot wrap my head around that.

Although I don’t have any direct experience with any of this, I deny your lived experience of not having that problem - I think you’re a lying liar and that thing you like is bad.

I appreciate that! & I totally understand. Unfortunately, they really cornered the market for quite a few niche little hobbies’ communities that used to be more filled out with independent and individual forums and sites before they took over. Such is life, eh?

Sweeeet! Thank you so much! That was super fun to play with and I’m looking forward to trying it out again another day :)

Oooh, how neat! Off to do web searches for more info I go!

Oh, how I love The Hard Times! …Although, the name has a whole different vibe in the context of this article & the post title, lol. Gross, now I’m thinking about this jackass having an erection! Brain, why!?

Haha I’ve had the same exact realization while learning about what it actually is!

This whole comment is great! Thank you for typing it all out and sharing it with us.

This part especially helped me a lot:

If you have no stable place to live, no stable income, no stable sense of family, what does a stable sense of adult self look like?

Thank you.

Also, I’m looking forward to watching that video when I’m able to! It sounds super interesting and I’m kind of excited about it, honestly! Lol :)

Some or all of the servers you’ve tried may have them blocked. There’s a lot of them that signed the Fedipact promising to do so a while back when they first started talking about doing this.

Or, it may just be that the servers you’re searching with/on just haven’t properly loaded it yet. I can’t currently remember the actual terms for it, because my brain is super-dookie (and I apologize,) so hopefully that makes enough sense 😅

I haven’t tried to find it myself, but I’ve seen other people say they were able to find it from their Mastodon servers, so who knows!

Also it could just be their own bugs or other fuckery, especially since they’re only just starting to test it out in the wild. Could be a mix of things ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

From someone in the US, smack dab in the middle of very dense Republican land (Oklahoma,) I want you to know that you’ve nailed it! You’re spot on. I wish you were exaggerating, lol.

Some Lemmy instances have downvotes, some don’t. It varies by instance. I think most instances have/allow downvotes. Beehaw & Blahaj are two bigger ones that don’t that I can think of off of the top of my head.

Also agreed with your last bit. I’m nervous about it, too. I wish people would just be decent and… not suck, lol.

I’ve definitely noticed it bugs some people. I wonder if those people maybe just don’t understand why it’s happening, combined with it looking silly on Lemmy when you don’t know why it’s happening? That it autopopulates just like it does on Mastodon and did on Twitter, like you said. Although, I definitely remember people getting annoyed with it on Twitter, too, lol. Anywho, you’re not hurting anybody, but it’s kind of you to offer to stop if it’s bugging them. :) Maybe a PSA about it, why it happens, and why people leave the tags in their replies, posted to a lot of different communities/magazines/topics would help?
