How much do you think gender matters on Lemmy?
  • You can’t really generalize. It matters as much as the person you’re talking to or about thinks it matters.

    If they don’t care; fine. But most people want to be properly gendered.

    In most discussions here it’s not really relevant or important but it’s simple enough to use gender neutral pronouns when someone’s gender is unknown

  • Checking to see what movies were playing tonight. Didn't even know this movie existed. Decided to check and see how packed it was in my rural Eastern NC town. This is for the showing starting in 30min
  • Our town only has two theaters and only this one has assigned seats. It’s only showing this, that Reagan movie and Beetlejuice. I couldn’t find any seats that had been sold…

    However my wife and I went to see Deadpool a week or two ago and the theater was as full as I’ve seen a theater since Covid.

    Not sure what my point is?

    But, ‘Yes!’ Also ‘No!’…

    In conclusion, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Checking to see what movies were playing tonight. Didn't even know this movie existed. Decided to check and see how packed it was in my rural Eastern NC town. This is for the showing starting in 30min

    And even further, only those exact same two seats are ‘taken’ for every single showing.

    I thought for sure the after church showings tomorrow would be at least somewhat full, but nope.

    They say “anyone can become president”, but this will be the first presidential election since 1970s, where there is no Bush, Clinton, or Biden on the ballot.
  • Assuming VPs are are included you do have to go back to the 1976 election to find a Bush, Clinton, and Biden free ballot

    • Jimmy Carter (1977–1981)
    • Ronald Reagan (1981–1989) (George HW was VP )
    • George H. W. Bush (1989–1993)
    • Bill Clinton (1993–2001)
    • George W. Bush (2001–2009)

  • Would it be possible to get an "Open in [Safari|Browser]" option for the post and comment share sheets in the iOS version?

    As it stands, If I want to view a post in the browser, I can use the ‘Copy’ option which gives me the comment or post’s URL and have to manually launch the browser, paste, and go.

    So not the end of the world or anything, but a little annoying on the rare occasions I want to use it.

    Bummer and Lazarus - Wikipedia

    Bummer and Lazarus were two stray dogs that roamed the streets of San Francisco, California, United States, in the early 1860s. Recognized for their unique bond and their prodigious rat-killing ability, they became a fixture of city newspapers, were exempted from local ordinances, and immortalized in cartoons.

    Alt/Accessibility text

    Is it possible to improve the alt/accessibility text editor in the image post composer? I don’t know if the Lemmy spec supports it, but a multiline text editor would be great if so.

    On that note, is it possible to preview the alt/accessibility text? I also don’t see where to view it on a live post.

    Thanks!

    If Polling Error Matches 2016 and 2020, Trump Is Ahead In 2024

    Three caution points for Democrats...

    1. Trump wins if the difference between the polls at this point & the result matches what we saw in 2016 or 2020.
    2. Trump's more popular now than at this pt in 2016 or 2020.
    3. Dems don't say they're more likely to vote now than in May
