What species are these? They’re super adorable.

HA. HAHA.

HAHAHAHAHA.

That is all. That’s the comment.

Zero surprise. Most people are living life on autopilot. They will continue to ignore major issues—like politics, climate change, and corporations mistreating people—to our collective long-term detriment. Anecdotally, I have friends who don’t give two fucks about such important things. Instead, they focus almost purely on MMA, reality TV, and stand-up comedy.

I mean, we all have hobbies but damn, pay attention and take a stand on serious issues that affect us all.

Fucking yikes. Now this is yet another reason to protest en masse. God speed, French folk.

I have been following the World News live threads religiously since mid-February 2022 and I’m really looking forward to something similar here in the Fediverse.

I don’t have a ton of modding experience but I did mod at r/Moscow for about a week in August 2022. A pro-Ukrainian Polish lad who used to live in Moscow forgot he was a mod there years ago. As it turned out, he was now the most senior mod so he banned all other mods and replaced them with pro-Ukrainian people, turning it into an anti-Putin sub. A subreddit coup, if you will. He said he aimed to use the sub as a way to lift the voices of all the Eastern Europe nations victimized by Russia over the years.

I flaired up to let the Muscovites know an American army vet was now a Moscow mod, permitting a flood of pro-UKR memes while removing pro-RU-invasion posts and comments. Russian jimmies were thoroughly rustled.

Reddit admins eventually received enough orc complaints to give the sub back to them. All good things must come to an end.

Anyway, despite my dearth of modding experience I’d like to help out as a mod. Cheers from Alaska.

Probably for the best.

I may use Reddit through the browser on occasion while googling (but without logging in). My Reddit activity has dropped 99%. The 1% is lurking the World News thread to follow Ukraine war updates while logged out.

Upvotes are still getting rejected. Replies hang so I cancel out and it turns out they did post.

That said, browsing is pretty snappy and smooth. I know the kinks will get worked out eventually. Thanks for the update.

Edit: This now appears resolved minutes later. All smooth on my end.

I’m a simple man. I see beans, I upvote.

His breath probably reeks of Spez’s ejaculate.

I am a very patient Apollo refugee. It may take many weeks for some servers to adapt to the ever-growing influx and for new apps to squash bugs and build out functionality. My body is ready. This is now home.

If a corporation aims to purchase an instance, all the other instances would let them know they will vote to defederate it as soon as the purchase is finalized. That ought to make them change course.

Hello fellow Apollo refugee. Here’s to many happy years in our new home.
