It's still annoying me that we can't comment on mastodon with our lemmy accounts

MODERATORS
You can, it's just not the most streamlined process. If you're federated and you can find your instance's copy of the thread, you can generally reply to Mastodon comments just fine.
At least, I'm pretty sure that's not just an Mbin thing. I'm almost positive Lemmy can do it, too.
I believe it’s just mbin. That’s one of its advantages over Lemmy.
It's an mbin thing. Lemmy doesn't see group-less topics
Keep up the good work, you are the coulour full points of the internet
two points:
- That wall of txt is a mission to read - especially for a dyslexia sufferer (maybe other diverse people?)
- "what happens when you accidentally sextuple-overbook the same convention center with a queer pride event and furry convention and punk show and kink festival and antifa assembly and hacker conference?": just loved description, although it feels a little less diverse than it did 2 years ago; almost more normie
Of course it's more normie. As more people from more diverse communities join, the average becomes more, well, average.
For instance, not everyone who moved over from Reddit is a communist trans furry cybersecurity expert in a chastity belt – some people even somehow manage to be none of those things.
I think there is room for them and there's even room for them thinking the original crowd is weird. We need to maintain that "weird" is good, though, and that people can just look away if a topic makes then uncomfortable.
It works with .ml and friends – they can spend all day living their understanding of communism and everyone who doesn't share that understanding can just block them and move on with their lives.
were you reading it on the linked page or just the preview? because yeah the preview is a total clusterfuck but the post itself is a link to https://cyberpunk.lol/@vantablack/115031484305199282 where there’re actual lines and paragraphs and shit lol
I went there to read it as I couldn't cope with the wall ;)
Newlines and paragraph breaks have my ENTIRE support!
