I know it’s ignorant, but all I can imagine when using a bidet for the first time is shooting my corn hole with a jet of cold water, not knowing how clean it is back there, and using a towel to dry off only to find watered down shit on the towel.

That article states she closed down **all **social media comments. This would include Facebook, etc. as well. I feel they see Mastodon as no different than other social media sites.

Would doing this be redundant to https://mstdn.ca who has a tie-in with the CIRA?

Or maybe CBC and mstdn.ca could work together?

Yes, but whose body?

No, I meant the instance itself. The server. The one who runs lemmy.ca is here in Canada with me.

It’s like when playing a game; You choose servers closet to you for the lowest ping time.

The other reason I neglected to mention was I like to support local. 😎

Agreed. I went with lemmy.ca since I’m Canadian and the instance is in my country.

I also heard Lemmy should perform a little quicker for me too this way.

I used Sync for Reddit. The dev seems close to releasing the beta of Sync for Lemmy.

Connect for Lemmy has been a very nice alternative, especially after the most recent update. I might be torn once Sync is out.

How does that “help” their feed? What possible benefit could there be in using a bot to subscribe willy-nilly to every community out there, no matter how shitty it is?

I don’t know… You made it sound like the only way for me to have more communities show up in my All feed on lemmy.ca would be if a volunteer on lemmy.ca, be it a bot or mod, subscribed to all the communities they could find. Hense seeing top posts from All communities. And I only meant for a bot or mod to just subscribe. Not to repost everything.

If that isn’t how it works, sorry. It is why I asked if that would work or not.

So, would it be wise and helpful for a mod or bot per instance to subscribe to as many communities as possible to help the instance’s feed?

I don’t mean this comment to be facetious towards OP.

Seeing reports that interest died down on a newly released item, be it a game, social media, or tv series, is just to be expected. May as well report that water is still wet.

It’s because of those Facebook surveys I never choose those questions.

I watched the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie so many times as a kid I can still lip sync most of the film to this day.

I’ve also watched Space Balls and Monty Python and the Holy Grail more times than I can count.

Off-topic. Your visible username is wild.

I haven’t been back on Reddit since shortly before July 1. I enjoy the vibe here right and the novelty of something new hasn’t worn off yet.

Some subreddits I was more into like Destiny 2’s and Diablo 4 don’t seem as busy here so I have a feeling I may need to lurk over there still from time to time.

🤷‍♂️

Because they’re not sand, silly!

In Canada, for years, you were almost a fool for not upgrading your device every two years. The “regular” plans we all had involved a 2-yr contract in which time your phone would be paid off. But after that term was up, the monthly bill remained exactly the same. It was stupid, but a lot of Canadians just said, “Welp. Might as well upgrade then.” Then the CRTC here stepped up and told the big three carriers here to knock it off.

I had a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ that I held onto for three and a half years. That was the longest I’d ever kept a smartphone. It was going strong too. Alas, I found out security updates were knocked down to quarterly from monthly. And after this year, it would receive nothing more. I reluctantly looked into the Galaxy S23 Ultra as a replacement and thanks to a good deal, I have that phone now. It’s an amazing device too and I hope it carries me for another 3+ years.

I was trying to avoid spoilers but… Yeah, me neither. Cannot unsee!

Yet I’m so excited for the next season. What’s wrong with me?

Autocorrect can be a real motherducker.
