The fact that they dropped another Notrette reference in this ep with only 2 more episodes left really has me expecting another season. Like come on, secret messages encoded in tomato DNA!

EDIT: and yes the gundbroom is fucking great

Yeah, I agree. Stallman's philosophy has some obvious blind spots (e.g. usability) but a number of his values continue to be proven correct as technology keeps advancing.

Yup, I prefer lemmy myself but both kbin and lemmy interoperate with each other just fine. Pick either! It's still better than sticking around on reddit.

what a way to go o7

It's not much but I upped my contributions a bit. Thank you for everything you've done for the open, non-corporate internet.

how about we make the poutine into a taco

Absolutely. A community needs to have standards after all.

As I quipped about earlier, based on what a lot of people are saying in here it's kinda bullshit that we de-federated lemmygrad then. But to your point we just need a short list of things that sh.it will defed over so that policy can be applied consistently.

These big discussion threads on the main community here have actually had a lot of healthy discussion in them which is encouraging. All of these things are just initial growing pains that the broader lemmysphere is going through right now to find its footing. Things will even out.

To put another spin on it, lemmygrad and exploding heads have an old beef with each other that predates the reddit migration. Far-left vs far-right, it's not rocket science. As an example try typing in lemmygrad.com and see which instance it takes you to.

Now ask yourself what it tells people when sh.itjust.works has lemmygrad defederated but not EH. It's an endorsement, no?

gotta live that smooth lifestyle

I'm sympathetic to what you listed, and it would be nice to see those things come to pass. I'm just cynical about anything that starts to sound like "regime change" after watching the US campaigns in the middle east these past couple decades.

Even though Tiananmen was a long time ago, there have been more recent cracks in the facade like the unrest over lingering COVID zero policies. It's encouraging to know that people do have limits, but I don't know how popular those sentiments are across the broader population.
