I too enjoy repeating the joke I just saw but removing all of the distracting humor.
1·9 months agoYep. It’s insane how quickly we’re spiraling into a fucking christian theocracy… anything less than voting for Biden in November is tacit support for Trump and the GOP and I don’t care whether or not people on Lemmy like hearing that fact. We have one chance to save our democracy. Vote like your life depends on it.
You’d need an afternoon nap too if you ate two Big Macs, two Fillet-O-Fish, and a chocolate shake for lunch every day.
And just in case anyone thinks that may have changed since that news originally came out in 2017… It hasn’t. He was still getting McDonald’s delivered to court every day as recently as last October.

You aren’t kidding. The tech knowledge of the average redditor has been dropping for years as the site became increasingly mainstream but it cratered after the API change. It’s very amusing to read through a thread about lemmy in r/technology though. According to the average redditor picking an instance and then clicking the “communities” section to subscribe to comms you’re interested in is the most complicated thing they’ve ever encountered in their lives. It’s silly. Lemmy took about as much time for me to get the hang of as reddit did when I first joined in 2011. A few days, maybe a week tops… And that includes the time I spent test-driving different front ends and apps before settling on a desktop/mobile combo of Alexandrite and Voyager.
Sure, understanding how federation works may take awhile but you really don’t need to know much about any of that to get setup and start participating as a user.
Probably because the second sentence of your own post intending to promote it was an immediate concession that the UI sucks. “It’s great once you get past how bad it is” isn’t a great pitch.
