My grandfather always said, "Believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear". I thought it was stupid when I was younger but holy jebus does it ring true these days.

Having mastery of your farts while 69ing is very important!

He hosts one day a week. But it's great to see him back.

Nailed it. Reddit didn't really explode until digg went to shit, if I remember correctly. Then the tumblr porn ban caused another mass migration.

Stuff takes time and Lemmy in its current state isn't user friendly. It's too confusing for many and suffers from a lot of what OP is saying. I'm struggling to get people to switch. I'm sure it will get better.

Once reddit fully collapses in on itself, which is inevitable, there will be another mass migration to somewhere. Lemmy may stabilize and figure itself out by then.

Obligatory fuck u/spez.

Always. I don't understand why other commentors are happy to eat the crap right up and not even think the "feud" between eLump isnt real. Elongated ego left at the federal time limit for a "Special Government Employee". There was no fighting. He left because he had to.

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

• Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

“The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim. An individual in a crowd is a grain of sand amid other grains of sand, which the wind stirs up at will.”

America is Canada's gut.

Don't even need a few words, "Elderberries".

Edited for clarity.

Did he tell you he used Arch?

God that was such a bad intro tune. Adding the acoustic guitar didn't help. Loved the show until they went full "Timecop".

Never go full Timecop.

So say we all.

Your logic has no place in the internet. Begone!
