While play does draw from their hunting instincts, in my experience, sometimes they really are just trying to have fun. In this case, my cats have liked similar things because of how light and easy they are to bat/toss around (vs other toys, like stuffed animals, where they don't throw them into the air nearly as much).
Most of the comments here seem to be arguing whether it's better to get help now from SO or ChatGPT, but this is a pretty short-sighted mindset.
What happens when the next new standard comes out that ChatGPT hasn't been trained on? If SO tanks and dies, where will you go?
I'm not saying use a lesser resource, I'm saying this is kinda tragic and I hope they can sustain themselves; AI is propped up by human input and can't train itself.
Elon thinks all you need to do is change the site CSS and maybe do a press release, and he's famous enough that the rest will just take care of itself.
I think what OP is going for is that there are things to discuss about reddit that aren't tri-hourly images of the current status of the canvas and hourly battles between those rallying to put a lemmy ad vs those encouraging disengagement in the responses.
Speaking only for myself: I'm not lost, I subscribed here because I have a vindictive streak that makes me revel in the slow downfall of reddit. Buuuut that doesn't necessarily mean I love the slow time-lapse of their gimmick taking over my entire front page.
Nobody can read it, check the source of your comment.
Correction: No one browsing through your specific server can read it. The rest of us see it just fine.
From where I'm sitting, it seems like the filter is applied (a) when a lemmy.ml user makes a post (it strips it from the source and says removed for everyone) and (b) when lemmy.ml federates another instance's comment over (source instance and any other non-censored federated instance has the word intact, ONLY you guys don't see it).
There's something to be said for putting the blame where it belongs, which is likely not on you.
If your friend did something illegal that could harm others, it needed to be handled. Period. It's a natural response that any decent person should take. The blame is not on the reporter, it's on your friend for doing something so bad you felt compelled to report it.
And a bonus fuck him for putting you in that position where you now have to wrestle with self-doubt. That's not a good friend, leaving you to bear the emotional burden of his actions.
Couple corrections on the rep technicalities: Upvotes didn't count for rep at first, but they have for a few weeks now. For mastodon integration, upvote = favorite(like). Reduces and "downvotes" are not separate functions; a downvote IS a "reduce" and it's always had a rep impact.
No app, but its native web interface is pretty competent.
If you know what lemmy is, you already know what kbin is. It's essentially the same idea, just with more integration with the microblog side of the fediverse. Communities ("magazines") also have a microblog tab which kbin users can post to, which is great for informal posts that don't really warrant their own threads ("I tried (product) and I'm really enjoying it so far," or "the latest episode of (show) was great," or "(boss) in (game) is BS"). This tab also collects posts from mastodon users that use hashtags defined by magazine mods.
The largest instance is at kbin.social, though it might be best to spread out a bit; kbin is still pretty new and there's been a rush to the main dev's server in the snoopocalypse.
Everyone has a bad day now and then. It sounds like a lot is eating at you. You might be dealing with more than your fair share people who haven't gotten the help they need to learn why they're twats and how it hurts them and everyone around them. I know I was a worse person until I figured out how I got the way I was a few years ago; it took me til the back half of the 30s to start to be better.
People are individuals, all going through their own journeys. You might grow and change for the better if you're able to figure out how to be the best you, or you might change for the worse if made bitter by a life where it feels like no one is on your side and you have to take your due since it will never be given.
The important thing is: (1) People are twats for a reason, and (2) You can't fix those reasons for other people and make them less twatty, so the only thing you can control is how you handle less than ideal interactions. (Tip: most well-adjusted people don't jump to "lose hope in humanity"; the fact that you have means there's work you can do here.)
See, the problem here is that you're treating an off-the-cuff casual explanation as a "thesis." Please don't bring this absurd habit over here, where people have to feel compelled to cover absolutely every interpretation and hedge every outlier for fear of getting nitpicked to hell and back. Literally no one enjoyed that environment.
It's literally not. Over here, on top of the "repost to your profile under your boosts section" functionality it's intended to have, it also counts as 2x rep for the poster. It really, truly is also a "super-like."
What conditions are you imagining in which a donor is living but not aware of specifically who would be receiving the organ before agreeing? Tests need to be done to ensure compatibility, and a kidney is a lot to ask and probably wouldn't be agreed to unless it helps a loved one.
I feel like this is a strange premise whose goal is trying to try to move the line little by little until people are willing to say they're a little bit racist/sexist. Or until people are willing to admit they don't think others should have control over decisions made about their bodies. Be honest about your ends here instead of dreaming up fictions that make so little sense the answers are unproductive.
You're not wrong, but running Linux directly correlates to more time spent on "tech forums in general," so it's still a bigger problem with that OS than others imo.

Bottlecaps are big for mine too. They like to bat them down the hall and chase them, like it's hockey.
But they are Canadian so I give them a pass.
