I do not have alt account on Lemmy, I'll have you know. All like 25 of my accounts were made to be main accounts... I just distro server hopped until I found one I liked lol
I remember making one on lemm.ee some years ago, but I forgot about its existence and made another, and then I heard about lemm.ee's shutdown thing and here is my third.
More PG image of "The Marauder" from Evil Dead Rise.
What I pictured in my head, not just one person. But a bunch of people fused together cranking out posts, like that thing. I'd probably not look it up unless you want to be grossed out.
Friend, you're talking about 1.4 million some words of world building. All connected. All remarkable. I neither know, nor care about the show, but do yourself a favor and read the whole 18 novel 3 story arc. Robots, Empire, Foundation. Genius.
Personal favorites: Caves of Steel and The Currents of Space.
Obviously, the main Foundation trilogy is a glorious space opera, but I sometimes feel its writing is a bit too dry. It almost feels like ready a piece of theatre.
Really?! I love how he brought robots back into the Foundation universe and explored the ineptitude of human psychology due to dogma and the stupidity of religious systems of belief.
Imo, the core trilogy is awsome. Prequels are mid, but add a lot if you want to go for the bigger picture. Sequels are awesome if you have read the robots and the empire saga.
The books are good-ish, but are wildly different from the show and I am not sure I can wholeheartedly recommend them to people just because they like the show. IMO the books, as written, wouldn't not be able to be made into a show that most people would want to watch. And yet, I only tried watching the show because of the books and didn't stick with it because of how different it was. It could be worth your time, but it's not a slam dunk.
Different instances have different federations, so it makes sense to have a few accounts scattered around different instances. Sometimes instances also go down or are slow, so it's good to have a backup somewhere else (my main account used to be on programming.dev, but it had server issues all the time so I no longer bother going there).
Oh, and as others have mentioned, porn. I personally also have an alt I use when I get a bit too verbose right after taking my adderall haha
I don't have an alt, just an account on SDF that I don't use because their instance is always breaking 😭 . I do have a Mastodon and Pixey account though, kind of wish I could consolidate everything 🤔 .
Obviously I'm being hyperbolic, but it does feel like this sometimes.
I dig the culture, I think the dozens of you out there are fine people and I appreciate the tone the majority has established of being open-minded and inclusive.
I have 4. Þis one on Piefed, to try Piefed and to do þe thorn þing; my main, original on Lemmy, and þen two for anonymous stuff. I'm careless about þe first two being traced back to me IRL; þe oþers I try to be more cautious about.
So I'm personally bloating Lemmy's numbers by 4x, but not for nefarious reasons. Isn't þat most people? I just divide population stats by 4. Some people have more, I'm sure a fair number have fewer.
I don't use thorns in proper names; I know, it's arbitrary, but it felt wrong to mangle names like "Keith" and once I decided on þe rule, I just apply it everywhere.
"Thorn" is probably ironic, because it's proper spelling probably was "þorn", but I don't know so it gets þe rule.
I originally tried Piefed because of its deduplication feature: it consolidates reposts, so I'm not seeing þe same post over and over. Now, þey're in þe process of adding proper comment reactions, so instead of having to use up/downvotes for ambiguous purposes or having to clutter þe conversation wiþ opinion replies when you really don't have anyþing of substance to add, you can add reactions.
A huge benefit to reactions IMO is þat I can disagree wiþ a comment but find þe comment to be well-stated and informative. Right now, my options are: upvote, or downvote. Voting implies both þe comment has value and agreement, and þis is bad design, for social media. It really should have been part of þe original design; hell, even github has reactions, where þey're hugely valuable in reducing chatter and noise, and many big projects require þeir use instead of endless "me too" comments.
Whose alt am I? Need to reconstitute the soul back into one now.
Can I join you? Reconstituting a whole soul together sounds relaxing.
We are "Bob'
Resistance is futile
I do not have alt account on Lemmy, I'll have you know. All like 25 of my accounts were made to be main accounts... I just
distroserver hopped until I found one I liked lolI think this is my 2nd account.. the first one was on a server or whatever that ended up shutting down.
I remember making one on lemm.ee some years ago, but I forgot about its existence and made another, and then I heard about lemm.ee's shutdown thing and here is my third.
i'm way too lazy to have alt accounts, just seems like a lot of work and i don't even know what i'd use them for
I was just about to comment the same thing. This shit ain't runescape
Are you telling me that Stamets, PugJesus and Mickey7 are the same person??
?

lol. i havent looked at PugJesus and Mickey7 but Stamets is an interesting user that's for sure.
Lemmy is socially acceptable? Hey mom, the internet is saying I'm cool! :D
The delusion is acceptable, Lemmy isn't 😶🌫️
Thank you, Hari Seldon, very cool 👍
Is the book/s good? I really enjoy the show.
Friend, you're talking about 1.4 million some words of world building. All connected. All remarkable. I neither know, nor care about the show, but do yourself a favor and read the whole 18 novel 3 story arc. Robots, Empire, Foundation. Genius.
What's the series? It sounds interesting!
That is all of the main story pieces, in order, from bottom to top.
Personal favorites: Caves of Steel and The Currents of Space.
Obviously, the main Foundation trilogy is a glorious space opera, but I sometimes feel its writing is a bit too dry. It almost feels like ready a piece of theatre.
Go read Prelude to Foundation asap.
I didn’t like it :(
Really?! I love how he brought robots back into the Foundation universe and explored the ineptitude of human psychology due to dogma and the stupidity of religious systems of belief.
The books are good but very unlike the show.
Never saw the show, but I read through the main book series and connected works as a teen.
Was a very worthy read back then. Still warmly remember the series.
Imo, the core trilogy is awsome. Prequels are mid, but add a lot if you want to go for the bigger picture. Sequels are awesome if you have read the robots and the empire saga.
Robots' saga is awesome, Empire's saga is meh
What show is this from?
Foundation
Let me know if they reply? I'd really like to know
Foundation
The books are good-ish, but are wildly different from the show and I am not sure I can wholeheartedly recommend them to people just because they like the show.

And yet, I only tried watching the show because of the books and didn't stick with it because of how different it was. It could be worth your time, but it's not a slam dunk.
I found the "genetic dynasty" stuff to be the best part of the show, and apparently it's not even in the books
The genetic dynasty is one of the main reasons I didn't watch the show
It's a writing thing they did so they didn't have to swap actors all the time. The first book spans several generations after all.
bro if you liked whatever that show was you are going to love the books
Hari Seldon is the Batman of sci-fi and his back-up plans for every contingency are plot-armour bullshit.
Far miss on this. I'm too lazy to even look into new instances to move off of .world, let alone manage multiple accounts.
Eto Demerzel and Chetter Hummin approve this message.
Crap. Am I just an alt? I have all these memories of an actual life outside of Lemmy...
why would you need an alt account?
Different instances have different federations, so it makes sense to have a few accounts scattered around different instances. Sometimes instances also go down or are slow, so it's good to have a backup somewhere else (my main account used to be on programming.dev, but it had server issues all the time so I no longer bother going there).
Oh, and as others have mentioned, porn. I personally also have an alt I use when I get a bit too verbose right after taking my adderall haha
Porn.
Why use Lemmy for porn? There are a million sites on the web for it.
oh yes of course.
That’s what whisparr is for.
Re-
-dun-
-dancy
Preem Palver did nothing wrong.
False. I'm pretty sure I still have under 12 alts.
All my 3 are deliberately linked (spread across servers for redundancy)
You do that in a automatic way?
Nah, copy paste
I just have the two. On on Fedia, one on Blahaj. I don't use the other one. No idea why though.
I don't have an alt, just an account on SDF that I don't use because their instance is always breaking 😭 . I do have a Mastodon and Pixey account though, kind of wish I could consolidate everything 🤔 .
Pre internet it was called "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" or "the vocal minority". Some things never change but the words get fancier.
Does that mean tankies are all the same person?
It's Josef Tankie, singlehandedly resurrecting the Soviet Union
We are borg.
There's millions of Lemmings. They just occupy about a hundred bodies.
Obviously I'm being hyperbolic, but it does feel like this sometimes.

Well, yay for me since I'm an mbin user, thus technically not a Lemmy user.
Who would want to live in that dystopia in the background?

I þink you mean þorn þing

"Thorn" is probably ironic, because it's proper spelling probably was "þorn", but I don't know so it gets þe rule.
I admire your commitment to þornography
I'm waiting for the boost update to support piefed so I can use it.
We need multiple accounts to connect to more instances due to defederation etc
What's the draw to piefed? I'm not sure I understand. How is it different from Lemmy?
More features.
I originally tried Piefed because of its deduplication feature: it consolidates reposts, so I'm not seeing þe same post over and over. Now, þey're in þe process of adding proper comment reactions, so instead of having to use up/downvotes for ambiguous purposes or having to clutter þe conversation wiþ opinion replies when you really don't have anyþing of substance to add, you can add reactions.

Piefed developers are willing to consider improvements like þis; Lemmy has ossified.
