I think low voted comments still get pushed to the bottom though, is that not right?

This has basically been our spring and summer for 4 of the last 5 summers in Alberta. Just awful

It's winking at you

Jerboa or just in the browser. Honestly though most people's issues are likely to be because they joined a huge instance which is falling over due to load. Consider making a new account on a smaller instance.

I feel like what you're referring to is higher order thought. Do you think that beings might exist in this universe that are beyond our thought process? Would they view us as lacking a "soul" like we would view insects as lacking a soul?

Is this different than firing someone over their social media posts or inappropriate conduct captured on video? To me it does, but I'm not sure I can articulate why. Am I being a hypocrite?

Isn't there something with disco elysium and whoever is profiting off of it now is not the original creators?

Kinjo in general is pretty good value.

Completely forgot about boulangerie. What a great cafe

Right, why participate if it's just going to be buried under the mountain of other content.

I'd imagine you're rather unique. I have a hard time imagining atheists believing in something as nebulous as a soul.

EDIT: Please don't downvote OP, if anything this is a more interesting discussion thread than just "No, we're just meat and electricity"

Better than 8388409 rows deleted at least.

Unfortunate. Although maybe I should have a look at the API

Yeah thinking of going over to another instance. Anyone know how easy it is to migrate subscriptions from one instance to another?

Incredible destruction 😮

Yep that's exactly what I was trying to convey. It does feel like the early internet days when everything was just a bit broken and streamlined UX was not at the forefront of tech. The primary users were the geeks that could figure this stuff out.

All good

My understanding is there isn't one Lemmy. There are lots of instances, but they all talk to each other. I.e. they share the posts and comments their users make. If an instance becomes problematic then other instances will choose to stop receiving updates from them. So users of the bad instance can still see the content and comment on it, but other users won't see the content from those users.

Sad grass

I kind of like the lower comment count. It sucks when there are literally no comments, but for me, I'm much more inclined to leave a comment when there aren't too many already. Plus I found most comments were really low effort jokes. For every well thought out comment, there were a million 'this' type comments.
