Animals with misleading names.
  • I vehemently oppose the new redditesque rule of "Begin posts with “TIL” ". One of the things I disliked about reddit is each sub having different rules, which also squashes Xposting ability, and Xposting is more common/important on the Lemmyverse since there are probably already 10 other TIL subs.

    I reverted that rule away, but we can discuss it if you'd like 🙂

  • Robophobia: we lynch robots to protect our humanity

    It’s time to take action against the roboganda! It’s time to stand up for our humanity! We should not allow robots to take over our jobs and infiltrate our society!

    We can’t afford to be complacent and wait for them to become smarter and stronger then us.

    Our survival as a species depends on it!

    Machines to replace workers as wages rise 😭
    www.afr.com Machines to replace workers as wages rise

    Rising wages and woeful productivity are poised to push businesses to replace workers with machines that can do work more cheaply than people, economists warn.

  • You're mod now!

  • Let's start the, "Lemmyverse Organizational Scheme Team (LOST)", to categorize all sublemmies!

    For example, let's collect all dog/cat/monero/porn/furry/tech/etc subs across the Lemmyverse.

    Sub requirements:

    None. But post the subs from biggest to smallest. Example dog subs: lemmy.ml/c/dog, lemmy.ca/c/poodles. Bc dogs has more subscribers then poodles.

    In the link is a hedgedoc - it's Foss google drive! (Lemmy is Foss Reddit). You can edit your findings into it. It will be vandalized so when you finish editing it, copy pasta it into the comments so we can restore it, if you want.

    If you don't want to use hedgedoc, just post your findings in the comment and another lemming will do it hopefully.

    "Don't be lost while you hunt for sublemmies, contribute to LOST today"

    When/if should we split this sub into fedilore and fedidrama?

    Which was the original plan way back.

    I'm think lore for multi user events (flame wars, raids), big things (ex impeachment) concerning admins, events affecting a "big" server so potential admin appointments etc.

    Drama for more high school stuff like u/amongus getting banned for getting into a fight in c/world news. Things concerning small server admins like group.lt admin

    Most content here atm is lore.

    Naturally some posts could be posted to both subs.

    I'm not sure if there is enough drama posts for a fedidrama sub to kick off. Would you contribute drama posts to fedidrama?

    Since Lemmy.ca is really gaining new users, we could try again to make a Lemmy.ca instance chat room on discord + element + telegram and bridge them all together. Thoughts?

    AFAIK https://matrix.to/#/#lo_canada:mozilla.org is the biggest Canada themed matrix chat room. It's not partnered with Lemmy.ca or anyone and I believe they were asked before and didn't want to partner up.

    They specifically don't want to do a discord or telegram bridge iirc.

    So we could try to make a Lemmy.ca matrix chat room and bridge it to telegram and discord.

    I can take care of the bridging, but it's very easy. Ex discord instructions

    I only really use element/Matrix and it's better if everyone only uses those, but i respect that other ppl use discord and telegram and don't want to switch.

    This discord server is very cooperative https://discord.gg/gEWcR7w4TW so that would be where the discord channel would be located. You could even join it now to check it out since it's fully operational.

    There is no operational matrix or telegram atm.

    If you want to do a matrix or telegram, tot set it up now and put the link in the comments.

    A collection of Canadian city/towns/villages and others Canadian related communities, matrix/Element chat rooms.

    IF you cannot load into matrix.to to view the rooms, here is a very messy copy pasta of the rooms. Matrix.to has formatting. If someone fixes the formating i'll update OP

    #Fediblock v J doe

    A few days ago, a page was published in the Fediverse where you could check which Mastodon instance is blocking whom in the Fediverse. This was made possible by a programmer who used the new Mastodon API introduced in 4.0 and automatically read out the blacklists of the instances. The reaction to the page was quickly visible, especially in the hash tag #FediBlock. There, the first administrators began to demonize the page and cried about how it would allow them to read their blocklists. Not only that the blocklists are publicly viewable, but that it tastes like a filth that #FediBlock apparently thinks it’s okay to publish blacklists with hatespeech-like reasoning to denounce, but won’t allow anyone to use their blacklist to point out which instance is blocking which. Thus, it clearly shows again that #FediBlock is solely a pillory to those who seem to have achieved nothing in their lives. However, the information about who blocks whom is in many ways more than just interesting for those who want to choose an instance. As it was already written in a German thread about the topic, it would be helpful to know whether you reach your target group at all, if you register on an instance. The fact that #FediBlock is so hostile toward this doesn’t exactly represent the transparency they’re aiming for, but rather anarchy/dictatorship. And exactly for transparency reasons, I’m glad that I was able to download this list early enough to make it available to you.

    For those who now want to complain to me, because I have published this without their “consent”, please send an e-mail to , the request will then be forwarded to my lawyer! And those who are so hungry for consent, you should think about whether you #FediBlocker have the consent for your nonsense?

    Jan 6, Happy Ins-erection Day my slutty little PATRIOTS

    I ate macdonald at Target today. Three of my lungs collapsed as I got carbon monoxide poisoning from eating shit. A brave patriot wearing an Affliction shirt, a MAGA hat, and sweet wrap around sunglasses saved me by giving me CPR. I thanked him and asked if he was a doctor and he said "who needs doctors when we have our fellow Americans, the ones who are here legally I mean." I hugged him and threw my fries on the ground. The Star Spangled Banner played on the speaker system as everyone in the threw down their insulin needles on the ground, chanting "down with communism!" God, Jesus, and all the angels looked down upon us from Heaven and clapped and all of our diabetes was cured

    Always tell a child who is wearing a helmet how cool you think their helmet is. It will encourage them to always wear it in the future.
