I don’t know how to explain why I like Hemingway. His work just feels hyper true in a way. Him and Steinbeck both stay with me for a while after I put the book down.

Reddit doesn’t seem to understand what their platform is for. If people are adding “reddit” to the end of google searches, it shows that they want brands to talk less, and real people to talk more.

Straining is a great way to put it, yeah.

Also kinda depressing

I don’t know where you’re “getting easier on the eyes”. Light mode makes me feel so much more relaxed

Hopefully we’ve collectively seen EEE enough to guard against it this time

I didn’t expect all the other comments to also use donuts to explain this

If you make the straw less long, it’s a donut. And a donut obviously has 1 hole. So a long donut only has one hole. Q.E.D

This is a really good idea. Maybe someone can make a site called “Too powerful” that lists the bloated instances or something.

However: I’m not super deep into lemmy architecture, but what would stop the instance ops from creating a “sister instance” the the same rules and owners?

I’m using wefwef, so I honestly forget I’m not using reddit through Apollo half the time. The culture migrated really seamlessly for me
