Building an echo chamber alone is hard.
This post has been up two minutes and I think already has more positive votes than any other post here. That should say something

waterule
You can buy thick water (designed for people who have trouble swallowing) at pharmacies and every so often I'll mess with the new guy at work by filling a water bottle with it and taking a swig first thing in the morning after a weekend before saying something like "Damn don't you hate when you forget your water and it goes bad?" and pouring out a thick stream

What screams "poorly educated"?
Parents feeding their baby cola in bottles and smoking while pregnant are two things that usually cause me to make assumptions

Is this the official r/piracy now, will the megathread be updated for this?
The mod of this instance was a mod of /r/Piracy. I am pretty sure it will stay consistently updated.
It was updated 19 Jun 2023 10:26 UTC according to the bottom of the webpage if that helps your worries.

Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?

I can't say I blame them when it comes to going with what's comfortable.
I used Windows and Linux while in school so it's what I got used to. Whenever I use MacOS I feel incredibly lost

Why Lemmy's Piracy Community Outshines r/Piracy?
Reply in thread
Even though it's meaningless I have seen some people in different communities voting down comments and posts they don't agree with like on Reddit which is unfortunate.
For the piracy community I hope it doesn't just turn into passive aggressive comments directing people to the megathread all the time.
I like helping people dig for obscure stuff

Donating to Lemmy NSFW
Out of curiosity how much storage are you using either total or on average with this instance? I feel like with the amount of media being uploaded it's likely slightly larger than others.

What can be done about people who create a community and then abandon it?

I feel like Redditers aren't doing it on purpose. They just want all the niche communities they're accustomed to not really thinking about the work it takes to get them started and rolling or moderate

And then comes the wonderful realm of the BSDs and the OpenSolaris derivatives

Isn't the whole Macs don't get viruses thing a myth by this point?
There are a lot more sources for random untrustworthy Windows software than there are for MacOS but that's on the user the same way keeping your OS up to date is.

Will something be done about moderators owning 50+ magazines/communities and counting? Already seeing power mods migrate from Reddit trying to hoard as many communities as possible.
Do you think they are actively trying to become moderators of those communities or is there a chance they're trying to recreate the subreddits they're accustomed to?

Mates, today without warning, the reddit royal navy attacked. I've been demoded by the admins.

Yeah. Considering the other mod messaged you it definitely seems targeted

Reddit communities with millions of followers plan to extend the blackout indefinitely
Ahead of the Tuesday post, more than 300 subreddits had committed to staying dark indefinitely, SpicyThunder335 said. The list included some hugely popular subreddits, like r/aww (more than 34 million subscribers), r/music (more than 32 million subscribers), and r/videos (more than 26 million subscribers). Even r/nba committed to an indefinite timeframe at arguably the most important time of the NBA season. But SpicyThunder335 invited moderators to share pledges to keep the protests going, and the commitments are rolling in.
A surprising amount of big names there. I figured it would be more obscure/niche subreddits like /r/TaylorSwift, /r/SpaghettiWesterns, or something like that

Bypass Reddit 18+ login dialog
You can also use Teddit.net. You can find more info here but it doesn't use ads, accounts, or even the official Reddit API

r/steam (maliciously) complies with the call to open again
This is going to be interesting in the long term for a lot of subreddits when people sort by top posts. Similar to when every sub had a net neutrality post stickied

I want to change all my reddit comments to point to Lemmy before deleting my account. What's the best way to do that?
That's funny timing someone just linkedhows somewhere else

Subscriptions: One of the reasons I left iOS this year.
You might want to check out of F-Droid if you haven't already (not sure if you are already or if you are getting apps from GitHub, the Google Play store, or an APK mirror site). It's great for free open source apps.
I appreciate the customization options and simplicity of a lot of them. I also haven't come across an app that requires a constant internet connection for verification which is nice
