To heck with you for your stupid opinion, everyone is obviously always positive here

Subs=subscriptions.

Was wild logging in this morning to see it and thinking “yep this is going to be a hit” and coming back to see the highest voted Lemmy post ever

The plus side is that it’s open source, so we could look into having some way to collapse crossposts in view so that you eg. see a single link with a “see other conversations about this” button.

yes, it is so small I can’t read it, you’re right

There’s no way to prevent it entirely. A larger community will slide that way.

I do think that it can be less encouraged though.

I don’t really want to miss my family for that long. Maybe I’d go back to when my kids were babies and become a live-in nannydad? I could see that getting weird though.

If I didn’t have that level of control but I absolutely had to go somewhen, I guess I’d either go a few decades in the future to see how it shapes up, or to the neolithic era so I could finally find out a bunch of things we’d never otherwise have known. That era seems like it was pretty cool, and I happen to know enough baseline science to actually recreate some of my favourite amenities.

That’s never been my experience in the slightest.

I know they’re the worst of capitalism and break any law or agreement they can possibly get away with and many they cannot, but shouldn’t we at least give them a chance

Fucking rubes.

In the three or so days I’ve been using it it’s expanded noticeably, and I’d say it’s on the verge of being big enough already. Once it rounds that tipping point it has a decent chance of becoming sustainable on its own.

Personally I don’t care at all, but I’ve got a few friends hoping for a good gun group similar to liberalgunowners.

I would like a video group like r/unexpected and r/kidsarefuckingstupid for funny vids to share with my wife at bedtime.

Right now I feel like a new interesting and active community is appearing every hour or two so I’m not in a rush, I’m enjoying watching the whole lemmiverse taking its first big steps

I’d suggest that beehaw’s concerns could be met with a tool that lets you disable posting or voting from off-instance users unless they meet threshold criteria, whether it be account age or post history or manual approval. That would allow you to keep your content interaction controlled without the nuclear option of complete removal.

“double lidding” sounds like something that shouldn’t be discussed in front of the kids

That sounds like one of those things where you forget about it, then years later realize how fucked up it was.

“and then the workers and employers lived happily ever after”

There are still a lot more people on twitter.
