Oooh, is it subscribing that starts up federation of community content and not searching for it? For some reason I was under the impression that just putting the !communityname@instance into the search bar did it

None of that is showing up on my instance, is this just federation being slow on one end or the other? The announcement post you linked isn't loading for me, either.

Oh, if anything it's even more revealing. I've been out of my mind on shrooms and never did any Nazi salutes.

Do you think that they think every other creature has a fucked up looking face, or do they have no idea they look the way they do? Every other time they meet another sand boa are they like “Jesus Christ, what happened to him??”

He’s definitely on something here other than uncut white nationalism, right?

If the situation is “fascist coming for you with a weapon” I’m okay with the answer being guns.

All the prayer, I’m sure. It’s sinning that keeps you lean.

That song automatically plays in my head like I’m the fucking Manchurian candidate and you just said my trigger phrase, lmao

I would say her character voice for Cunk is more memorable even than Farnsworth, because you don’t have to preface text with “Good news, everyone!” to hear it in her voice.

Nobel Super Lemon candy is sour AF, if you have an Asian market near you.

Yeah, I’m not sure what it means either, which means I’m not sure how many red flags the earlier thread I linked should be setting off. A random mod on LW being respectability politics about neopronouns is meh, someone higher up the chain than that and it’s brake pumping time IMO.

Also like, presumably everyone else on LW thought they were allowed to moderate their communities how they saw fit before that announcement, you know? My understanding is the LW admins shelved the policy for retooling, not retirement, so personally it’s not something I would want to chance. I don’t think anyone is purposefully lying to you guys, but I also don’t think they’d make an exception just for 196 to do whatever it wants with any future instance rule changes.

I understand they’re not an admin. In the page I linked you can see they’ve been put in the “Community Team” section. Are you saying that “Community Team” is a convoluted title that the LW admins have chosen to say “person who mods /c/lemmyworld”? Or do they have some other role that I can’t find outlined anywhere? (Which could be on my end, the site I linked doesn’t play well with mobile)

I guess I’m not sure what a “Community Team” member does, then, if they have no control or input on how LW policies are carried out in communities. I can’t find an explanation anywhere here so maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

Did you know that people who keep isopods as pets have one variety called a dairy cow isopod that is spotted black and white like a cow?? Shit’s adorable

I’m nearing an age where it’s not going to be physically possible for me to have my own soon, and my overwhelming feeling is ‘good.’ I never wanted to get pregnant and was always told I’d change my mind. Well, if I do, it’s going to be when I’m at an age where I’m far too old for it to matter anyway, lol.

This is correct, but the original was 195. They closed it I think either because it got bigger than they intended or because they were graduating or something, so the successor community 196 was made.

Reposting this since you said you were going to answer questions in the !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com post but this one is still unanswered:

If the move had nothing to do with pronouns and you’ll continue to enforce rules about neopronouns, how do you feel about one of the LW community team mods making statements like this about them? Do you feel confident that they will always let you enforce neopronoun rules if they decide that it’s hurting LW?

+1. And escalators are annoying even when they're functioning, I'm constantly on the verge of tipping over when I use them. Give me an elevator any day of the week.

Excited DIYers running out before doing research: please note that in a medical setting something like half of potential donor poops wind up rejected because of unsuitable bacteria living in the gut that could make you sick.
