let's be honest, most of us wouldn't last an hour
genzedong is great, probably the closest to cth? dankleft, alltheleft, leftwithoutedge, fullcommunism, and communismmemes are good too, same with socialism for more general stuff and informedtankie for more news/ info, i like sino too for China stuff.
but the sense of humor is lacking
Yeah, dogma and creativity tend to have an inverse correlation...
Implying I wouldn’t get on the discord and then quit trying to read the 10s mega thread
he's got the gift of the gab, but there's little depth or substance
it's easy enough to be mad at the world and regurgitate popular twitter takes and memes into a stream of consciousness, but without synthesis and practice, it feels like a grift
and sure enough, just like destiny, he starts showing his chud tendencies (like wanting to lower age of consent to 14)
compare his stream with matt's cushvlogs
bluster vs. bite
Look up the fucked up DMs he sent to people in his community (they were underage too)
subreddit?!? i'd be desperately embracing the database, crying, and whispering sweet nothings into its ear so it'd come back to me ;(
More like waiting with baited breath while the most recent backup is restored, and then hoping against hope that the filesystem on the host machine doesn't shit the bed two hours after you give the all-clear. Fun fact: if a web host tells you that your built-to-order dedicated host is good to go and that they initialized the RAID-10 array correctly, don't fucking believe them until you've done a badblocks scan on the RAID volume. (If it's your own hardware, then you probably know better already. And if it's AWS or Azure, I think you may have broken one of the first three or four rules of Fediverse.)
A previous employer had an ecommerce site running on a LAMP host where this happened -- one of the four drives in the array wasn't initialized correctly for whatever reason, and the server would periodically just crash and restart itself (about every 6 weeks), and there would be data loss on the MariaDB server running on the thing due to filesystem corruption. It must have taken nine months to figure out what in the fuck was happening, especially considering how fast turnover was for techs at the hosting company. I had a lot fewer gray hairs before I had to play Web server admin at that place.
Godspeed, Lemmy devs. And o7
I've mostly given up on political reddit.
I use reddit for soccer content now. Primarily /r/MLS.
It's a lot better than it was in 2012.
A quick rundown of current storylines:
-
They started the season, but had to cancel during week three because of covid
-
They were the first American men's league back at it in Orlando in a bubble that the NBA based their bubble off of, Portland won
-
They had a one-day strike in solidarity with the NBA and other leagues for Black lives
-
One of the owners is being forced out because he felt "personally disrespected" by the player protests
-
Blaise Matuidi just joined the team David Beckham owns in Miami, they have not been good so far
-
Columbus has been the best this year, but they have also played Cincinnati a bunch, which may make them look better than they are
-
The Revs are still bad, probably, but sometimes they are also good. Who knows, their best player is out for likely the remainder of the season after having foot surgery
-
I'd post memes on /r/TrueAnon. It's great because there are a bunch of dorks in there who take themselves way too seriously and get extremely mad at every single joke post.
Love the pod, but holy shit, the sub is sooo bad. It's infested with r/redscarepod posters for some reason, and it fucking suuuuucks
