But if we don’t interact with them, won’t we stop existing!?

Have you ever considered that maybe people can dislike things that you like without being objectively incorrect, and vice-versa?

Just a thought.

Plus you don’t m didn’t watched DRAGON BALL,

No, I definitely did.

The damn parody explains nothing.

It’s a parody. It’s not supposed to.

I watched DBZ as a kid. Didn’t like it then. Don’t like it now. Like it even less, if possible.

My friend watched DBZ as a kid. Liked it then, still feels fondly about it now.

We both watched DBZ Abridged. Think it’s hilarious.

DBZ Abridged > DBZ

Nice! Hope we’ll see it imported into the US too.

The collapse of the Empire wasn’t that fast.

No, I’m part metal. Helps to keep going longer than mere organics, but getting through the airport is a bitch.

More seriously, I take 2-4 times a day to grab some pics from my stashes and post them real quick on my regular communities. Takes maybe 15 minutes each time. 60 minutes every day is a good chunk, but it’s far from grueling.

Now, my FOMO causing me to check my notifications every moment I get free time? That’s a little more grotesque.

Know where to look to grab pics real quick + Light moderation load + Not many other hobbies + Work from home with downtime between tasks

I answer on AskHistorians, but don’t post there. But I’d love to see activity there too! Mostly I run three history meme communities (HistoryMemes, RoughRomanMemes, and ShermanPosting), and four communities for sharing historical images of interest (HistoryPorn [not my choice of name, it’s just for photos], HistoryIllustrations, HistoryRuins, and HistoryArtifacts)

No, no, the pipes are fine (mostly). They have calcium buildup that prevents lead leeching.

The REAL major source of lead poisoning in the Empire is much stupider - knowingly making wine syrup in lead pots because the lead makes it taste sweeter. Despite knowing that lead is toxic af.

There’s probably an apt comparison in that to Reddit as well.

Just wouldn’t want any newcomers to the history communities to up and think the place was dead! Lemmy cannot live on Linux alone 🙏

If I found someone who hates me as much as I hate myself, then we would have something deep and intimate to bond over.

Speaking as a mod, even speaking as a mod who’s terminally online, we can’t have eyes everywhere at once. Somewhere, in the depths of the comment chains, we always miss something, or skim over it. Reporting isn’t adding to our work load (generally), it’s a great help. You shouldn’t hesitate to report anything that seems like it breaks the rules/expresses bigotry.

Of all the stupid, bigoted dogshit flung around by Hexbear, outright transphobia generally is not one of them.

It may be more effective to bring it up to the moderators of the individual communities where you’ve seen it. Also, generous use of the report button.

The thinking, I believe, is not that managerial work isn’t work, but that ownership is not a reason to take a cut of the profits. Think of it more like - in a big corporation, lower and middle management does something useful (theoretically), as does the sales department, and even some of the corporate brass at the top. They still do some form of useful labor, even if primarily social and mental labor rather than physical.

But what do the shareholders do, other than make decisions whose only purpose is to maximize their own payout regardless of its effects on the health of the firm?

The managerial class may be over-compensated in our current system, but they still deserve compensation. But the investor class is parasitic, in this thinking.

The main thrust, I think, is “Fellow gets 90% of the profit just for owning the capital” is cut out of the equation more than the exact calculus of which laborers get what percentage. The answer to that question probably varies wildly depending on what kind of socialism or post-capitalist system one prefers.

Can we launch it against Spez?

Good! HistoryMemes is starting to get other regular contributors. HistoryIllustrations and HistoryPorn also have been seeing more contributions from other posters.

I dream of the day when I can post only rarely and silently upvote other people’s content instead.
