I didn’t want a mod tag next to all of my posts, and Lemmy doesn’t let you disable it.

Yeah this isn’t my main account
Hey, haven’t used this account in a while, figured I got demodded, but if there’s a need I can fire it back up. I think the instance admins have things under control in general.

OrangeSlice@lemmy.mlMto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•what phone(s) do you use and what's the default web browser on them?English5·2 years agoIt’s not that you’re an idiot, but it’s wise to avoid using a chromium/blink based browser since they are building a dangerous monopoly. Firefox is the best known alternative, but there are a couple other options.

OrangeSlice@lemmy.mlto Fediverse@lemmy.ml•There is a drop in monthly active Lemmy users (from 65k to 57k)English1·2 years agoIf I’m making a mistake, I don’t think that would be it. I’ve been observing Bitcoin and its community since 2011.

OrangeSlice@lemmy.mlto Fediverse@lemmy.ml•There is a drop in monthly active Lemmy users (from 65k to 57k)English341·2 years agoKey difference is that Bitcoin people want/need their numbers to go up,up,up as a measure of success.
Here, we are hoping to cultivate a healthy community (at either/both the instance and fediverse level). From my experience on various subreddits, focusing on growth is not a good way to do this.
Communities are defined more by who is not allowed in than by who is in the community. Lemmy phase 2 kicked off back in June, and it still needs some time to find its footing at a sustainable rate of growth.
OrangeSlice@lemmy.mlMto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Similiar to email filters, does Lemmy know of any IRL tips to filter out junk mail?English11·2 years agoBe careful about “unsubscribing” to various services.
They will unsubscribe you, but then they also have all of your information (name, address, anything else) on record and confirmed. They can profit when the sell that data to another mailer “service”. It’s like a Hydra.
OrangeSlice@lemmy.mlMto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations?English5·2 years agoThe thing is that on leftist forums, the stakes for a veganism debate are pretty high cause it easily causes a 50-50ish flameout.
Mods would appreciate if people like OP didn’t intentionally troll to stir that sort of thing up (if the discussion takes place organically and respectfully, then whatever).
Mods would also appreciate if people didn’t feed obvious trolls who are just starting things up, like you pointed out, there are specific places to post about that sort of topic.

Leave the personal attack off in the future please
OrangeSlice@lemmy.mlMto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•if you were going to die tomorrow and only you knew what would you do?English1·2 years agoDon’t do whatever this is.
OrangeSlice@lemmy.mlMto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is The 1975 'new' punk after the kiss in Malaysia?English1·2 years agoCan you provide a source for this? Makes it easier to moderate if you can back up what you’re saying.
OrangeSlice@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•China's real youth unemployment rate could actually be close to 50% - more than double the official rateEnglish61·2 years agoBefore that can happen, we (as the non-ownership class) need to shift away from the capitalist mode of production, into a more advanced economy. On a global scale this is incredibly difficult, since the United States has a hegemonic influence over global economic affairs, and has been hostile to any states that attempt to subvert the capitalist mode. This is kinda sorta beginning to wane, but it’ll be a couple decades still until we see some real progress IMO.
OrangeSlice@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•China's real youth unemployment rate could actually be close to 50% - more than double the official rateEnglish4·2 years agoThey should clarify for themselves I guess, but by my reading they were commenting on the general topic of “unemployment metrics” rather than the specific situation in the article. If that’s the case it’d be a different discussion entirely.
I’d hope that people understand that the PRC doesn’t have a robust social safety net as it stands currently.
OrangeSlice@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Mastercard demands US cannabis shops stop accepting debit cardsEnglish24·2 years agoLiterally this, nobody really cares about your “online persona”. If i haven’t added you on discord or something you’re just a star her to me IDC what your Lemmy account is
It helps to put in some extra shifts at the posting mines
