You can block the whole Fediverse community. I did. Like, it’s helpful. I also blocked asklemmy. Also helpful. I haven’t blocked it on kbin, though. It doesn’t matter, I see shit I’m not subscribed to when I filter by “subscribed” still. I think filtering by keyword is going to be a long time away. You can be obnoxious as a commenter, though. When you see the keyword, say something contrary in a comment. That could be fun.

I’m not subscribed to this magazine, yet it still shows up when I filter by “subscribed.” I’d like it to stop now. BTW, it’s not a dad joke. It’s just a terrible joke. Also, Kbin, stop showing me magazines I’m not subscribed to when I filter by subscribed. Thank you. Please. This magazine is the most irritating one I see when I filter by “subscribed” and I’m not subscribed to it. Also: gonna start complaining on all the magazines with comments like this about my personal problem with this web site. Might try to change my user name to Karen or something. I really need to speak to a manager.

I’m really not talking about smaller communities. I’m talking about the ones that made the Reddit brand. Like AITA, for example. A lot of the smaller communities could be discussion boards anywhere because they’re so small and they are a niche. If there was an Aardvark Lovers sub on Reddit, I’m all in for an Aardvark Lovers sub on Lemmy. Do I really want to see a lot of the same big subs? No. A lot of what I see on YSK is stuff I don’t need to know, don’t care about, didn’t change my life or affect me at all, whether it’s on Reddit or Lemmy. My point, which you did not get, is that I don’t want a Reddit clone.

How’s about they stop trying to migrate Reddit subs over to Lemmy as communities? That would be nice. I don’t want a Reddit substitute. I want a new thing that puts Reddit entirely in the past. I want a fresh start, not a Reddit clone. Reddit sucked for a lot of reasons. I could go on and on. Stop replying to comments with “this” as well. But, mostly, I’d like to see people from Reddit moving over to here with zero Reddit nostalgia. Say goodbye to your favorite Reddit subs, stop trying to re-create them over here in the Fediverse. Instead, have some imagination and create new, original communities and kick the whole Reddit vibe to the curb for once and for all.

I saw a documentary about a serial killer that called his victims “long pigs.” I guess in this case you’d be eating pork from actual pigs.

Wow, not only does Prime Day offer nothing good to buy on sale, it actually doesn’t offer the lowest price over a one-month period. I’m surprised OP found something interesting to buy for Prime Day. I don’t even bother checking it out because in the past, all I see is junk I don’t want or need.

I’m only waiting because I can’t spend the money right now. If you have the money and won’t miss it if you spend it, go for it. There won’t be a new release for a long while. I am finding it hard to wait to get one but I promised myself I would be better at saving money every month, so I am waiting. I am going to save up cash for one. No steak dinner for me for a while! Anyway, go for it if you can afford it. Just don’t wave it in my face being all "na na na na na I have one you don’t "

There are lots of benefits to lurking. Nobody jumps on you with pedantic bull crap. Nobody tells you to just Google it. Nobody picks at every god damn little picky thing you say. Nobody bothers you. It’s a wonder anybody bothers to post or comment at all. Life is more peaceful for lurkers.

I think it’s a good thing to have more than one community devoted to a topic. I have already discovered that I don’t like this or that community on this or that instance but I like another community on another instance dedicated to the same or similar topic. People have different styles and preferences even though they have similar subjects in common. It’s like having different supermarkets or clothing stores. Some like to get their jeans at The Gap. Others prefer Levi’s. Giving users more choices is good in my experience. It used to be this way in the days of forums and usenet news groups. I think if you’re not used to it you will get used to it. It’s like shopping around for a good class at college or looking for the right pair of jeans that fits you the right way.
