I do wish they had said at some point “Hey if we don’t get a couple people we’re going to have to call it”. (Assuming I didn’t miss it)

There’s a difference between needing a few more because it’s growing and needing more to continue running.

To be fair on the recommendation post the general consensus was to go to lemmy.zip if you want a similar instance and piefed if you want to try that.

And it won’t take no for an answer (without actually selecting not interested). If I get a video from someone I kind of like but that video doesn’t interest me, I will see it every refresh of the home page for at least a week. But if i select not interested or don’t recommend channel I’ll miss videos I might want later on.

It’s difficult to get someone to care about something that inconveniences them and also has nearly zero effect because of the scale of pollution from companies.

“Grab an app called jellyfin, type in this number, pick the profile with your name, password is X”

It’s not that different than “Grab an app called plex, here’s the username and password, pick the profile with your name” (or sign up yourself and I’ll share it with you)

“Child” includes some years where they can drive.

Being an adult doesn’t mean you will never need help from your parents again.

If mom is at work, why is leaving work the preferable option to dad leaving fishing? That also doesn’t mean she hasn’t been told.

They’re driving their mom’s car, they obviously are still living at home and probably don’t have a ton of money for a taxi, especially since dad could just stop fishing and come pick them up.

Married couples are usually both owners of their vehicles and on the same insurance plans, so dad could most likely handle insurance and accident related things.

Yep, even happened in the US with Italians and such.

I noticed too that when I bought my car, I started seeing a lot of them in my area. It’s probably the same phenomenon.

They also threw shorts at the top of the subscription section in the TV app recently. As if anyone wants to watch shorts on their TV. They don’t care though, it pushes shorts which is what they want to push right now.

Probably school

You can discuss politics without engaging in it 24/7. There is nothing wrong with going to something like reddit or Lemmy and not wanting to add it to the list of places where all you see is politics. It’s easier on reddit, because the sheer volume of content, but it can be done here too.

I don’t personally care here on Lemmy, it’s a better format for discussion than some places (not that I discuss it, though I’ll read it). But in my case, I used to go to imgur all the time. For me it was a place to share memes and other jokes, you got a bit of community, it was smaller than reddit, Twitter, and all that. But it got to be non stop politics. They even added filters you could toggle on to the site, including a political one. It helped but even then the stuff still got through. Over time I stopped using the site and eventually deleted the app as it wasn’t my funny little meme site anymore.

And i largely agreed with the overall community, like most places it was a circle jerk most of the time. But being like this didn’t accomplish anything (as we all can see). At best, maybe some people there didn’t “switch sides” when Donald showed up.

Maybe the poster just wants a place where they can get a break but still be social. They’re not getting at X or bluesky, they’re definitely not getting it on Facebook or threads. Reels, TikToks, and shorts are dependent on the almighty algorithm and aren’t very social for most users. Mastodon, yeah i guess, but i know i find it’s harder to find communities than on Lemmy (plus your points, which are valid, apply there too). Where should they go.

There was a huge influx of users when reddit broke third party apps, I have to imagine that was larger than reddit bans. But then not everybody stuck around so who knows.

I know a guy who just throws it out.

Nice recovery

I setup a matrix server and cannot for the life of me get a turn server setup so I tried to use the free one there and I can’t even get that to work.

Can you point me in the direction of doing this in jellyfin? I keep finding guides and things for tailscale and whatnot but I too would like to just be able to install jellyfin on something and connect to my server.

I eat crust, but I never thought to include crust in my next slices activities.

I can’t help with approaching your sister, but you very obviously did nothing wrong. It’s not even approaching inappropriate from your end. From what I’ve seen, it’s pretty common for someone in your sisters situation to try and put the blame on you instead of her husband. I don’t know why.

Anecdotally, I watch reels on Instagram (i know) and the vast majority of meme pages that it shows me are the exact same setup around a slightly different premise, with the same purchased comments pinned from the same accounts or the accounts comment saying something like they’re too broke for paid comments please like.

80% is probably high but I wouldn’t be that surprised.
