And "I'm so sorry" also, to have read this.

/s... I think 😜

In exchange for jeans (on Taylor Swift's jet?) of course:-)

Test to find out if I am part of the illemmyminati.

I can haz reply?

I will sweeten the offer by adding the strongest Lemmy currency in existence:

To elaborate: one of the top features that I switched to PieFed for was the ability to choose to either receive or arguably more importantly NOT receive notifications on pretty much everything. Communities, users, individual posts, comment replies, you name it. There is a little bell icon that you simply press to toggle and then receive - or don't - the replies from then on out. Reverse the decision at any time. Or there's a listing somewhere to clean up old stuff.

I accidentally made a comment on Hexbear.net once, and then again on lemmygrad.ml, each of which triggered replies to me for WEEKS and WEEKS afterwards. I almost quit Lemmy after that:-(. Actually, technically I suppose I did! (I am writing this to you from PieFed after all:-).

I finally blocked all of Lemmy.ml. You are correct of course, but the rare times someone says even a passable comment simply is not worth all the times I see the most bat shit insane replies, none of which I have to see ever again now.:-) I find that tradeoff worthwhile for myself at least.

Lemmy.world communities can get that way too obviously, as you say because of the size, but still... it's different, the ratios of worthwhile to not worthwhile comments.

A couple of years ago it was not this way, but time has passed and nowadays it seems to become (every so slightly) increasingly true.

Sadly I will never be able to find out, as my initial instance Kbin.social died ☠️

In fairness tho... they actually do:-)

Ew... you go right ahead, while I'll be over here just ah... doing not that.:-P

It's the street noise

And instantly we arrive at the problem with these kinds of requests: how to exclude certain kinds of people, but only the right certain kinds of people, and preferably with no effort on our part?

I for one have yet to find a way.

Hehe username checks out:-)

And Linux, if the Fediverse had any say about the matter! (Or xkcd either:-D)

And Admiral Patrick on the instance dubvee.org, but it is regional for the state of West Virginia in the USA (tho he might be willing to share his blocked list?).

Tomato tomo 🍅

Plot twist: it will be written and created by AI:-(.

pusevig?
