My buddy has been watching too many redneck cooking videos and calls it “warsh-yer-sister” sauce.

people struggle with the concept of federation and picking a server

This is a HUGE reason. I didn’t know when I first signed up for Lemmy that I was on what is essentially a tankie instance. I didn’t know when I signed up for Pixelfed that I wasn’t going to be able to see shit because the first server I signed up for wasn’t really federated with anyone and I’ve mostly given up on it. I still can’t see a bunch of stuff on Mastodon without switching through several accounts with no rhyme or reason.

I’ve said before that I obviously like it here because I’m using the services, but it’s not easy. Most people don’t know about the fediverse, and most of those that do want to be passive about maintaining their social media. Most of the fediverse is built for nerds.

There are still a couple running around, mostly with day old accounts. They claim they’re being banned for holding that stance but from what I’ve seen they’re getting banned for being inflammatory dickholes.

Mine is the chain style. I cannot compare as I have never used the braided wire and I don’t have to think about weight savings that much. I don’t generally hike far to a camping spot.

Instead of a curved folding saw I prefer a rope saw. I’ve always been able to take down limbs and trees faster.

For those that don’t know what that is, imagine a chainsaw chain with handles on either end.

It’s ok, friend. I like that your mere presence refutes your own argument and that your attitude shows the kind of things you generally get banned from instances for.

So how old is your account? A day? You sure showed me! You’re doing great, buddy!

Yet here you are. You must be stealthier than the others. Don’t worry, I won’t tell them you’re here.

The great majority of those people aren’t on here talking about it anymore.

We’re on the same side, we just vehemently disagree on methods. They’re already using that shit against the people I care about. I’ve gotten in actual fights with people talking shit about women, LGBT folks, and, in one case where I got locked up, a guy with a speech impediment because someone thought he was the r-word. It’s been a while because I tend not to be that violent anymore, but I’m fucking tired. Ain’t none of this other shit working.

You know what, I’m sorry too. I know we’re on the same side but I came at you in a shitty way. It’s something I’m working on, but I’m not in a great place lately. Thank you for coming at me a different way so I could see how shitty I was being. We can disagree on this and still fight for the same things.

If mother fuckers ain’t checking their work that’s their own fucking fault. Notice I haven’t put that address anywhere because I haven’t personally confirmed it. I also didn’t participate in the Boston bombing thing on the other site because there was too damn much uncertainty. Not that I owe someone making sure Nick Fuentes is comfortable an explanation.

It’s going to get turned on the vulnerable whether I do anything or not. It already has been in several cases without my involvement.

So you keep being the good guy. I’m going to be a shit bag.

Who is “us”? I’m not here to be a good guy. I’m here to live my life on my terms without interference and help others do the same. Notice that nowhere in that sentence did I say “Make racists comfortable and happy” or “Snuggle up to a smarmy pile of garbage who trolls women”.

I’m not a good guy. I’m not a nice guy. I’m not the tolerant left. I’m pissed the fuck off and I’m not above doxxing a stupid cunt obliquely threatening rape or punching a Nazi. You can whisper your mean words about them into your pillow or whatever you think will make them stop and I support your right to do so. But that ain’t me.

I’ll make a deal with you. I’ll be totally ok with it if I start actively harming women by insinuating I own them and you doxx me for that so that women can come tell me how I’ve harmed them. If I spout white supremacist drivel I want you to punch me until I stop. If I make thinly veiled rape threats I want you to kill me.

Since I want that to happen to me, I can go ahead and do what I want, right?

Also grew up poor. I know exactly how you feel. I don’t have a partner and kids to take care of and I make good money in tech. I’ve shoved enough back to retire early (theoretically, I guess we’ll see) and now I’m out here with no car payment, a mostly paid off mortgage, and I’m spending too much on hobbies.

It’s still wild to me.

Trans people existing is hard left, as is keeping women healthy and alive.

We have the data. Trust me. I’m from social media.

Been using Thunderbird for almost 20 years. It was good enough that long ago and it’s pretty awesome these days.

That would be a great reply:

“What time did you get in? I didn’t see you at all for the 13 hours I was there. Did you just show up to take a picture?”

See you there

I have no problem with the concept. I just don’t like the execution. Grill up those weiners and get some color on them. Use a homemade baked mac and cheese or fried mac and cheese balls. Put it on a brioche or potato long roll. Toast the long roll. Add a splash of color with chopped parsley or something.
