He got to explain to his daughter and you got to explain to the comment section, circle of life

I’m imagining that as a Will and Grace gag and it’s pretty great

sad trombone

As I see it now, the lemmy spirits have seen fit to have some sort of geometric score progression

I agree with your agreement therefore I am ENTITLED to upvotes

If memory serves, it’s in reference to the ancient mammal and also the metal band

You could try #shitpost or #shitposting but I don’t see those commonly used.

There are two main instances where shitposters congregate: beige.party and jorts.horse

Beige is newer, bigger, and more well known. Jorts is unapologetically weird and absurdist. I love them both TBH.

You can browse the “public local timeline” of Beige here:

https://beige.party/public/local

That is all public posts from users on that server in reverse chronological order.

I can’t get the same thing to work for Jorts.

If you use an app that lets you browse other instances’ local timelines (like Fedilab) you can subscribe to posters in those timelines more easily then the web interface’s copy-paste-search dance. (For the record I can browse Jorts’ local timeline in Fedilab)

The easiest way to access the local timeline is by just creating an account on a server, which should work just fine too.

All the Lemmy (and Kbin) servers (instances) can theoretically talk to each other. You can follow communities on other instances and comment and post like you are used to.

You could think of each server as an independent city-state, each with it’s own leaders, customs and citizens.

If two instances have a feud that can’t be resolved, they will “defederate” and then their users will no longer be able to contact each other.

There are Nazi instances here in the Fediverse (for example), but they get blocked on sight so you almost never see their garbage in the feeds.

Does that help?

Never underestimate the power of shitposting

I hear he doesn’t really think much of his father’s moderation policies and he might be looking for social media alternatives

The curse of the zombie hot posts strikes again!

I don’t agree with this in all cases.

True, parents usually have a deeply ingrained emotional need to protect and nurture their children but:

• Not all parents do. Narcissists have children all the time. When they do, they cloak their emotional vampirism in ‘love’ like they do in all relationships.
• Even parents with the best intentions have to work HARD not to pass on their generational traumas, abuses, and bad habits.
• Only the child can truly know what will fulfill them as a person. Parents often substitute what they wanted for their younger selves for the child’s best interest.

For those still thinking I have no idea what I am talking about and you and your parents are different… please look into “enmeshment” for your own sake

If we comment enough, we could get this zombie thread stuck in the ‘Active’ feed

Homie I’m sorry that happened.

You might want to do some research on:

• verbal abuse
• narcissistic parent
• low self esteem

This is what I wish someone else told me.

Good luck on your journey

Nope! Should have everything you need in the box

YoCan Vane is a great budget option (~$50) sold at lots of head shops.

Just let it cool off in between 3 min cycles, and keep the charger close.
