Moderators can ban people for whatever reason they like, there isn’t really a way to prevent that. An instance owner could make a rule against it, but you couldn’t enforce it on other instances of course. The remedy to bad moderation is to make a different community.

The FuckAI thing does kinda make sense, though. If I wanted to make a community that focused on [thing], I would not really want input from people who avidly post on the Fuck[thing] community. That lacks precision of course, so I’d be open to appeals from people who posted in Fuck[thing] but don’t actually hate [thing].

Accidental downvoting (esp on mobile) is pretty easy

Isn’t it? It’s not so uncommon for me to see a post that I had evidently downvoted without noticing.

Haha, this thread has turned into an excuse to share ones hobbies and interests eh? I won’t be tempted!

I kinda miss living in St Louis

Same here! I started with Lycoris back in 2003, I’m very experienced with many different distros. The universal blue distros (Aurora, Bazzite) are my preference these days. You get the benefits of the atomic host and they aren’t actually restrictive at all once you get comfortable using containers for software that you can’t easily install with flatpak or brew.

It’s a good question, and it has a definitive answer: Distrobox.

You can also run applications from within the container. I have a Debian based container (but you can use whatever you prefer, I just happened to find a guide for getting jetbrains IDEs working well with a Debian one) with the Jetbrains suite installed and all of the development tools I need.

Since getting comfortable using distrobox, I prefer to use it for dev environments even when I’m not using an atomic distro. It doesn’t add any additional friction.

I just suggest that people join .world (unless I know the person I’m talking to will best fit a different instance) and not worry about it. Once they understand how it works, they can make an account on a different instance if they want. There’s no need to overthink it.

I love everyone!

It looks fine on this instance. Maybe it’s a .world media storage thing going on.

No! Please, reconsider!

Lemmy/Piefed/Etc has a killer feature (or maybe characteristic), but one that only a fraction of users find appealing. Being decentralized makes the network more resistant to many of the problems we see on Reddit and other networks, or at least, reduces their impact.

I followed it for couple of seasons before realizing that I didn’t care about anything happening in it. It happens!

Its nasty to do that to a tiger, but if people want to feed me, get me high on ketamine and pet me I’m fine with it.

Canada is now Canadian America even though it makes no sense.

It is the Canadian part of North America, so from that point of view it’s not technically wrong.

Your right, there’s nothing else on the SNES that sounds anything like it. It’s fantastic. Smiles and Tears makes me cry. https://youtu.be/gJs5YXUeFug?is=1EkPMZqZzCP3Z4_G

I’ve seen that soundtrack mentioned, I’ll take a listen. I generally love the sound of an SNES/SFamicom game.

The mainline Nintendo games all seem to have incredibly memorable sounds. Just earworms from start to finish. Yoshi’s Island, being late on the SNES, has a unique sound.

Holy shit, Tim Follin! The composer of the song I posted about elsewhere in this thread. I had no idea! Thanks! That Pictionary song is crazy.

You know, from that game I particularly love Marble Zone.

Dave Wise is probably my favorite retro Game Music composer. It’s kinda hard to say that given all the other amazing music, but man, from the NES all the way to the modern era he’s fantastic.

The Solar Jetman soundtrack is amazing to me.
