/c/newusers would be glad to partner up

It happened sometimes, but it was easier to filter those people out. Now those people have become the norm. Tinder absolutely is to blame for this.

Tinder ruined dating. It’s made interactions very transactional.

Several (attempted) murderers have owned copies of The Catcher in the Rye.

Ragebait like noahgettheboat, idiotsincars, piblicfreakout. It’s the Jerry Springer of the 2020’s.

AMPutator, RSS bot, timezone bot, a bot to provide a Reddit archive URL when someone posts a Reddit URL so we don’t have to send them traffic.

In a similar vein, a bot that links to a timezone converter.

A lot of places in the US have (had?) small, weekly, free newspapers that are actually pretty good. They get by by being full of ads, often the kinds of ads more family-friendly outlets wouldn’t publish.

Added. Thanks!

It was a bug, not a feature.

I tried to look up Tumblr’s present and past Alexa rankings, but it turns out that Alexa was closed last year.

My hope is that federation will be a good solution to these issues. Users can choose a home instance based on the types of content they do or don’t want to see. Instances with conflicting focuses or policies can defederate from one another.

My hope is that this is a shift back to a more decentralized internet.

They’ve officially branched out to Lemmy: !debatereligion@lemmy.world

All posts must be a request for advice.

Hope this rule gets applied to posts that pretend to be looking for advice but are really just seeking validation. People complain about the advice always being to break up, but IMO this is the bigger issue which keeps me away from all of the advice subreddits.

Pretty low bar 😂

I can’t remember anything wildly wrong. Closest I came to that was from a private tutor my parents had to hire to make up for too many days I missed due to health problems one semester. One day when we were covering evolutionary biology she goes, “Well, I don’t believe in this, but I’m obligated to teach it to you.” Doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence, but I appreciate the candor. Also I remember a girl in my class in middle school saying her grandmother believed dinosaur bones were put there by the devil and the teacher had to give an awkward response to that.

There is one common misconception among English teachers that I think everyone has heard at some point, the difference between “effect” and “affect” being different parts of speech.
