It's kinda meta and more than a little dumb. The "joke" of the subway meme is to have the text have nothing to do with subway, and to show obvious evidence of lots of edits and compression, like there was a back-and-forth argument. Idk why.
I think too many people are worried about "what is better for the site".
I think lemmy would stay nicer if it grows slowly and doesn't try to attract necessarily every demographic under the sun, like reddit tried to. Worrying about stuff like "high quality content", reposts, and maximum community engagement seems to me like it is a speed run to toxicity and bloat.
Also this community is practically explicitly for reposts, so maybe you would improve your personal experience by just blocking it?
I've seen some of your comments the last few days, you seem to be using lemmy a lot!
It looks like you have picked a name/theme for your profile that you plan to stick to. Do you think you are offering lemmy something it needed by trying to "troll" people? It was certainly something reddit had a lot of, but I can't agree that it belongs here.
Call me boring if you want but this was already overdone and annoying by the second time they did it. Not looking forward to dumb screenshots of hard to understand pixel drama taking over everything again, it will probably be posted all over lemmy too...
Only in the twisted context we act like is default is it true.
People want to have good food, socialize, play, and be comfortable. We work to make those things happen. Some people are lucky enough to make money doing something they already enjoy somewhat, but that isn't common or something that can be expected. 90% of people, at least, if given the option to do whatever they like and still have their needs met, would not choose to "work" in the way that we do now.
Owners are owners. I can't have too much sympathy if a group of disenfranchised people, who have never had the opportunity to own anything, don't distinguish between hyper capitalists and regular vanilla capitalists. Both are pieces of the system that denies people the value of their labor.
They started stacking stones when they got stuck on the island, and she symbolically stopped with the seashell when they were free. It is the intended final addition. Kinda makes it an informative monument, they have a sort of physical record of how many generations were stuck on the island.
What was your intention? Your comment seems like a direct value judgement, and you made no obvious effort to answer the question. Weren't you basically telling OP "you shouldn't want that"?
I doubt they would be willing to let people host and control their own versions of federated facebook, and I'm wondering then what would make it "decentralized" exactly. Are they just using decentralized as a buzz word because they are using ActivityPub?
here are the only rules relevant lemmy.world I could find (from mastadon.world):
"Regarding Spam: We are not your free advertising platform. If you are here only to sell your products or services, you will be removed. Occasional posts of commercial links are OK, but when the vast majority of a user's posts are commercial in nature, we regard the account as a Spam account. Moderators will evaluate reports of Spam on a case by case basis."
so it seems just do it in a restrained way and don't let it be the majority of your content and it should be ok?
I spent a while looking for a "no ads" rule and then I figured it out.
Your home instance sh.itjust.works , where your account lives, has a rule of no ads. Lemmy.world, where this D&D community lives, does not appear to (yet) have a broad rule against advertisements.
I would still ask the mod before posting self promotion tho.
I'm just confused by what you are asking. Are you asking if this community is OK with you self promoting D&D related stuff you made and want to sell? If it were up to me, I would say yes within reason, no one wants this community to become one loud ad. But I'm not sure the moderator would agree and it is up to them. I don't see a no self-promotion rule yet but maybe message them directly?
If you just want to share content you found and generally participate like normal then I am absolutely sure you are wanted here.
They are only de-federated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works
Lemmy.one is still federated with those two and beehaw.org
That means it has no impact on us at all, afaik. I'm no pro but I just made a new account, after having a beehaw one, on this instance specifically to see if I could still see everything on all three, and I can.
