I’ve seen you around and have a vaguely positive association with your username, take that as you will

Unexpected!

I recognize you!

I recognize you!

I know you for being both conscientious and fun 🙏

Also for having interesting experiences to share (though, as you note, everyone is a dog on the internet, dog)

Like seeing you around, can confirm; do like you for being here

That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. OnlyFans as-is struggles with accountability, appropriate age, and verifiable consent. Imagine that with a decentralized system of enforcement and accountability.

Perfection

Fantastic idea, I hope it becomes mainstream. I’ve been meaning to try plant-based meat alternatives for a while, for environmental reasons.

Backseat driver

Ramen. Spaghetti (sauce optional). Rice. Oatmeal.

Subbed. I used to love Men’s Lib on Reddit.

LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Sauron is a film aficionado

As you can probably guess from the downvotes, titling a post “New Comm for Lord Of The Rings Memes at [email protected]” only to ambush the reader with eight paragraphs of instance drama gives a very bad first impression of you and, more relevantly, the community you’re creating, which kind of defeats the point.

I mean, 4 of the 8 listed downvotes are of people who openly have a problem with me to begin with.

The comm and the basic reason for its existence is at the top. All the drama is contained after “Why leave Dbzer0?”

Actually, I rarely use the spoiler tag, but it would probably be useful here.

And as the original announcement in the dbzer0 comm has been deleted by the admins, it feels especially relevant to keep it here now.

Also there are people out there who tend to subscribe to more than one community about the same thing, so you could count on those subscribing.

That seems strange to my eyes, but I’ll take your word for it.

And, predictably, the db0 community post has been removed.

That’s the thing - I presume most people who say “Nice, LOTR memes” are probably already subbed to the Fediverse’s largest LOTR memes comm. Without the context that there is an issue here with the instance, why would someone whose thought process is just “Nice, LOTR memes” join a new, seemingly redundant LOTR memes comm which does nothing but state that it’s for LOTR memes?

I was arguing that denying sexual violence on Oct 7th is unacceptable. They were arguing sexual violence on Oct 7th was Israeli propaganda.

Like a supermajority of some countries believing that Hamas killed no civilians on Oct 7th, ideologically motivated disinformation spreads very quickly and very easily if it is not disputed.

Why would I link to a comm I’m banned from and trying to move away from?

I provided context for why there’s a new LOTR memes comm despite there already being a well-established one, and, for that matter, why the moderator of the current LOTR memes comm felt it necessary to create a new one beyond some lark.

Oh damn, that’s a fantastic feature! Thank you for telling me!

Mm. It looks like it wants the original comm locked. Even if I could, I don’t think I really would want to. Some people doubtlessly will want to remain on the old comm, and that’s fine, considering the circumstances of the move.
