It would be great to implement client side. I just don’t know how the comment system would work. Do you post to 4 communities all at once? Obviously moderation issues if it’s a single comment linked to 4 servers, but if it’s not then people who don’t have a client that combines duplicate comments on duplicate communities would see a bunch of garbage spam.

I guess I’m not saying it’s inconceivable that this feature could be done well, but the obstacles seem really tall. I can’t even imagine how I would implement this.

I understand why some folks would want this, but I just don’t. I don’t want to interact with users from e.g. .ml so I don’t go to communities hosted on that instance. But if they were joined in, you’d get the same people in News and Politics regardless of where you go.

I would pretty much be forced to find or run an instance that federates with exactly the right servers. Even then, I’ll have someone talking about what u/shitfart said in their comment and I won’t have a fucking clue what they’re talking about. Then there are the people caught in between who see everything and wonder why people are talking like they don’t see one another.

It would just be an absolute shit show. My instance is having some federation problems right now and I’ll see someone say “I’m jumping on the bandwagon” but there is literally no one else [that I can see] who is taking about what they just said.

I totally get why this would seem to be a good idea, but I don’t like it.

I just checked my blocked instances. zerobytes.monster is the only one I know for sure. Couple of others I’m not sure why I blocked. Most of them are to filter out languages I don’t read from the All view. Possibly lemmit.online.

There are entire instances that are nothing but Reddit repost bots.

Literally the first name that popped into my head when I saw the question. There are plenty of other good choices, but she has to be near the top of any list.

Incidentally… am I having federation issues? This is the only comment I see mentioning Ripley. I see 11 comments currently…

I gave them a couple of quarters and they played a couple games of Galaga.

Will second pouch recommendation. It’s a small but significant difference.

I mean feel free to create the community, but I can’t really think of anything I’d want to talk about where women aren’t welcome to participate. But talking about blue pill shit is kinda weird. I’m too old for that bullshit.

Let me guess, you don’t go to the store to buy tampons for your wife/gf/daughter, either? Because that’s the level of maturity I associate with looking at the world that way.

Looks like most people aren’t interested in your Lemmy group idea. Probably some would be. Don’t read more into it than that. There are tons of Lemmy groups I’m not interested in. Go have fun with yours.

… and stay out.

Wow! That’s a great photo. Thank you.

I see. So the one she was definitely going to lose this time around is still definitely going to be lost, just not by her. That’s sad. I was looking forward to missing her.

Wasn’t that the “much safer” district she switched to after damn near losing her own district in '22?

Crazy is so good in bed though. You just need an escape plan and a go bag. And wrap that fucker up because you never ever ever want to breed crazy.

We are days away from hearing about the onion on his belt.

Stretching a lead is a sports term. Most commonly in racing. Sports metaphors are common in politics.

One of the differences between the right and the left, you just made me realize, is how we treat heroes.

Kyle murders two protestors and he’s a hero. He can fuck it up, but that’s all it takes to get there.

If a left leaning person became a hero for rescuing cats out of a house fire, you’d have a hundred reporters digging up dirt about how he cuts in line at Starbucks, or an ex coworker thought his obsession with cute animal butts was a little creepy.

I’m minimizing. People who do good things sometimes have done real shit but I don’t want to sidetrack. Point is, the right elevates their heroes while the left humanizes them. It’s not just a different playing field, it’s a whole other sport.

I deleted 148 mostly political spam emails that I got from Saturday to Tuesday. I’m glad to have donated a few bucks, but fucking Christ. I hear from a dozen people daily (or more) plus “guest solicitors” like half of Hollywood.

It’s great when his arguments only strengthen my resolve to stand with Democrats in supporting Ukraine.

How is life so cheap. Killed himself over $63k. If I was ever going to do something that catching consequences was going to make me kill myself, it would have to be a hell of a lot more money than that. Maybe at 100x I’d take my chances. Maybe. I just don’t understand.

People are so much stupider than I ever thought. And I thought I was a cynic.

I haven’t visited in a while, but it’s a great community.
