The curse of the zombie hot posts strikes again!

Reported. This sub isn't allowed to give feels (/s)

I don't agree with this in all cases.

True, parents usually have a deeply ingrained emotional need to protect and nurture their children but:

• Not all parents do. Narcissists have children all the time. When they do, they cloak their emotional vampirism in 'love' like they do in all relationships.
• Even parents with the best intentions have to work HARD not to pass on their generational traumas, abuses, and bad habits.
• Only the child can truly know what will fulfill them as a person. Parents often substitute what they wanted for their younger selves for the child's best interest.

For those still thinking I have no idea what I am talking about and you and your parents are different... please look into "enmeshment" for your own sake

If we comment enough, we could get this zombie thread stuck in the 'Active' feed

I wasn't sure how to respond to this at the time.

I'm coming back to report that I just saw this.

I was scrolling All + Hot using Connect on Android and saw this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/57957

Judging by the influx of new comments, I wasn't the only one.

Are you seriously arguing that slavery wasn't profitable for plantation owners?

Aside from being dangerously close to "well actually we were doing the slaves a favor!", that argument is absolutely absurd.

Do you really think that they couldn't get more economic value out of enslaved labor than they put in in shitty food and housing? By that logic, the poor poor plantation owners could just barely scrape by on a subsistence income. Does that match up with the lavish estates that we see in the south to this day?

Aside from being illogical it's also ahistorical - milenia ago the Romans had massive slave-based plantations generating obscene wealth.

I did a little digging and I can't find any actively maintained roadmap.

They have some milestones in GitHub but they're all empty / outdated.

Lemmy's default sort is "Active" - which I believe is "most recent comment activity"

The classic reddit experience is most like the "Hot" sort option.

Lemmy's other weird default is the "feed" which can be all, local, and following. Lemmy defaults to "local", which is probably not what you want (chronological feed of posts on your home server)

Also highly recommend "blocking" communities if you don't want to see their content. (Mostly important if you browse the "All" or "local" feeds)

Homie I'm sorry that happened.

You might want to do some research on:

• verbal abuse
• narcissistic parent
• low self esteem

This is what I wish someone else told me.

Good luck on your journey

My guess is admins should be able to fix it

He just couldn't handle the pressure, sadly

This is my #1 feature request too, for the same reason. Thanks for great app!

Hexagons are the bestagons and I love this

Assumption 1: Meta / Mark Z are objectively untrustworthy

Assumption 2: The Fediverse is a threat to the entire internet advertising machine

Assumption 3: Threads will be a hospitable place for right wing hatemongers. Therefore, federating with it exposes our most vulnerable users and communities to a deluge of (often invisible) hate and harassment.

Assumption 4: Most of the ways that they could use their billions of users and army of programmers to slowly choke us off would go through federation

I think if you believe all four of those assumptions defederation is the clear choice

The gatekeepers are the instance mods/admins. The model is known to have problems....unfortunately, it's the best option we have IMO
