ah, fair enough.

the only tanning I do is occasionally doing something outside in a tank top instead of a T-shirt so I don’t get a farmers tan.

I saw a “don’t tread on me” license plate but the snake was covered by a police department sticker 😭

I’m ok with that if it’s on a separate instance that’s easy to block/hide (which has been happening already). Where I take issue is bots taking over communities where humans post.

have no problem with the system that unpersons you if you can’t pay rent

I never said that?

I use KDE because it looks like Windows 10… also gnome feet.

the meme format?

oh that’s right! I forgot about piefed. I would like to switch but this is my 3rd account switching instances and I’m not excited about starting all over again 🙁

My mutual is very anti authoritarian, that’s why they got a warning on Reddit. I imagine they aren’t welcome on your instance 😂

FYI .ml is federated with almost every single instance. You’re just making shit up to get mad about.

Like I said

Or something that goes a bit deeper onto each instance and explains them better?

from the main .ml admin btw

I saw a thread asking why there’s so many transfems on lemmy compared to transmascs, I imagine this might be helpful:

if we take a field that is generally more popular with men than women, for a wildly exaggerated example let’s say there’s a 100:1 ratio. 100,000 men and 1,000 women.

When we factor in that 0.5% of the population is trans it turns to 250 transfems and 2.5 transmascs (using 0.25% for each)

Now ~25% of women are transfem, but only ~0.003% of men are transmasc.

(provided everyone’s transition happens after you joined lemmy, this isn’t a perfect theory.)

Or that queer people are more likely to challenge the status quo when issues arise than cishet people so changing to Linux is aken to an act of resistance. Or it’s just a trend and I could be overthinking it🤷‍♀️

ALSO it would be SO cool to see a map where instances are mapped by federation and bigger if they had a lot of users, like thefedi verse logo but actual instances

the meme of asking mamdani for help when literally ANYTHING goes wrong is very funny to me

My sister once accidentally gave me her cart set to the maximum voltage at a party I took a massive rip (copying what she does) and got ZOOTED. I was able to keep it together for some time, we went outside and set off sprinkler (fireworks) and got photos. Then I forgot what changed but while I was sitting on the couch while the whole world spun at 100 miles an hour and constantly reset itself to the center of my vision and I got soo motion sick. Then I puked into like 5 different empty cups on the table in front of me, people just kept handing me more empty cups until I emptied my stomach 😭

I somehow managed not not make any mess at all, they were all talking about how it was “the most polite party puke” they’ve ever seen.

My sister was so apologetic and reassured me that it’s totally normal to have this happen and on the bright side now I know my limit. She shared a story about how she puked all over her car drunk on her second ever date with her (now) husband lol
