Killing is wrong. And bad. There should be a new, stronger word for killing. Like badwrong, or badong. Yes, killing is badong. From this moment, I will stand for the opposite of killing: gnodab.

Next, these people are going to start going after heavy metal and rap music again.
Yeah it's funny that those were called out as exceptions because as far as ancient Greek mythology goes, Disney's Hercules (one of the most widely known takes) basically made Hades = Satan and Zeus = God. I've also seen Hades get treated as Satan lite in DC Comics adaptations, basically unashamedly rewriting another mythology to base it around christianity. Meanwhile, from what I've seen, Hades was actually one of the few semi decent gods.
How absolutely surprising and shocking that Joe Rogan continues to push the MAGA agenda.
The only two that I ever still make use of are XDA for custom firmwares and other Android related shit. And Pokecommunity for the ROM hacking / decompilation stuff.
I look forward to all of the Fable 'fans' coming out of the woodwork to complain that the female characters and designs don't look like porcelain anime supermodels. It's going to be X-Men '97 all over again with a bunch of people that clearly weren't ever fans of the original complaining about their "childhoods being ruined."
I suggest that any and all one handed Gamers™ first take a look at the original character designs before opening their stupid mouths and complaining about the wOkE agENdA making characters uglier.
These fucking people prove how thin the line between stupidity and evil can be.
Yeah, as much as I support there being women only spaces here, especially around here where it seems like the only way that women are going to be able to have any spaces here is by brute force, I am unfortunately not a woman. And I don't want to invade or force my way in. So just to repeat, I absolutely support and respect there being communities where women can mingle with each other without asshole men popping up every five minutes to shit on them.
What I'm hoping for is that once communities like !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al are able to get a foothold and thrive and more women are actually comfortable around here, we'll start seeing more communities that deal with things like skin and haircare and jewelry and thrifting and cool styles and shit. Because clearly most men aren't interested or else those sorts of communities would be popping up already. So this place needs more of a woman's touch first lol.
Not complaining or being sour or anything. I have faith that it'll get to the point where these communities don't need to be gendered anymore but I've seen the way people around here can be so I also think it's necessary for now.
That's what I learnt the origin of the word was.
I definitely understand the aversion to algorithms because just look at what platforms like Facebook, Twitter or even Reddit these days do with them. In the wrong hands, it's deceptive and dodgy as fuck.
But I wouldn't be opposed to an algorithm that you can tailor yourself. And I don't mean Bluesky style 'tailoring', I mean give us a list of interests and categories to toggle that then have more weight in the feed. So for example, if you like metal, you would then see more metal related stuff in your feed and not have it downed out by Taylor Swift and Kanye West because upvotes.
And something I picked up from Facebook (even though it doesn't work for shit on Facebook because their algorithm is mentally handicapped) is being able to 'favourite' something. And by doing that, not just pinning it to the top of the list of communities but actually making it appear in your feed more whether the upvotes are a high amount or not.
More stuff that isn't memes, news and politics. Like, apparently there's two people on this whole platform watching Harley Quinn (or at least leaving a comment about it in the discussion thread). Pretty much everything that isn't memes, news or politics is still dead around here. Except for pro wrestling somehow.
What I'm still missing from Reddit is actual discussion of the forms of entertainment that I enjoy. I even tried that thread about "what music are you listening to" that pops up in casual conversation once or twice but no one gives a fuck, not even the OP of those threads bothers going through and giving an up arrow to people that have replied. And no one interacts with any replies either, so might as well be on Facebook for that kind of 'discussion'.
I'm also missing the haircare and skincare type subreddits. There were a lot of valuable resources and it was nice having a place for the occasional stupid questions. Also fashion / style type subreddits. I still think those would do great around here with LemmyNSFW mostly kept separate from everything else, so it would help keep the one handed browsers away. Although I still maintain that a big barrier for certain people in this regard is no posting to your own profile.
But yeah, there is lots and lots of stuff that this platform still needs. Memes, news and politics are the first things you'll get on every platform. Now I just wish there was more than that.
From what I understand, this universe is going to start off with everything already in full swing as far as superheroes and shit goes. Guy Gardner is in the Superman movie as well. So it makes sense to me that Hal has already been around and doing his thing for a little while.
