When I was really young, about 12 or so, I had the whole house to myself. So naturally, I stayed up as long as I could playing videogames.

Now our house was one of the oldest in town, it was awful, it was so old it had different types of timber floors from different years, some of which had holes you could look underneath the house. It was so old that the whole house itself was on a slight lean. If you put a ball on one side of the dining room, it'll slowly roll down to the other side.

My computer was also in the dining room, at the part that wasn't leaning. It was late at night, and I heard a scratching noise. I turned around and saw one of the dining room chairs slowly make its way up towards me, moving by itself until it sat right besides me.

I promptly went to bed.

i dont think the wave has stopped yet

It really isn't. Just look at their "rules"

If you’re worried about how our rules are explicitly open to interpretation, that’s on purpose and I hope the text above helps to clarify the vision that I have (and others of the community share) around how I’d like to see this community evolve and what we’d like to think we’re doing differently on this website. I’m not banning people for no reason or simply because they don’t agree with me. I want people to disagree with me. I want diverse opinions in here. But I also need this place to be nice and members of the community need to be willing to hold each other accountable in creating that kind of space. Of note, I’ve never banned a single person without openly discussing what happened with other individuals who participate in this community and asking for their input. I can’t promise this will always be the case, but I can promise that I’ll be open to having a discussion with any community member who feels that something unjust happened with another user or to themselves.

Beehaw is the only instance that has the most other instances blocked. Users from beehaw can't even see this comment, nor yours if you reply to this one.

The rules being "We reserve the right to ban you whenever we want.” are not rules.

i feel ya dude. my dad is a proper nutter

i like to think they were someone from the early 1800's, wanting to know more about this "computer"

These are the rules for lemmy.world

Each instance has its own rules, but you have to follow the rules of the community you're posting in. For example, burggit is where I'm commenting from. It has very loose rules for discussion, but not against other users. Since I'm commenting in the lemmy.world community, I should follow the community's rules.

It's also worth knowing that depending on your instance, you might not see people replying to you. Scroll down to "instances" to see if your current instance has any blocked.

I don't see Youtube collapsing any time soon. at least i hope not, i live on it

assume she's a qanon type?

How's it work if I get banned from one instance? Yet I can still comment in that instance I got banned from? No clue how that works

All a matter of posting more varied content

I predict a very small number sticking around though. Layouts and instances are a little too unintuitive.

lmao, that doesn't surprise me. got an archive or image of that? sounds hilarious

Not if your instance has others blocked. Check at the bottom of the page and click "instances" to see who you can't see.

Beehaw is most definitely an echo chamber.

probably why they placed a cursed on me
