To be fair (and you can probably see by my username I don’t like reddit anymore), I think it makes perfect sense to dispose of a fair portion of your shares in this situation. Firstly, these asshats get paid part of their salary in shares, it’s natural to want to get more security on part of your income. Secondly, with how hard the price rose in the first couple of days, it makes sense. But people are welcome to disagree, of course.

FIA is like: Human rights violations: nothing to see here Track limit violations: we might have to cancel this one

That being saod, cancelling Qatar F1 would be fine by me

Clearly anon wants to volunteer for the military. Under very special conditions

I think ‘the shot’ means ‘the picture’ in this context

It was december and raining a lot. I made a route using both komoot and RWGPS (the latter to confirm tricky spots with streetview). Still, information wasn’t up to date and had to make a huge detour.

views were beautiful though

pretty gnarly gravel

roads were very calm

Also, getting distracted doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

noticing that you got dostracted and getting back on track for a while until it happens again is what it is all about (if you ask me)

Ok so imagine I’m on instance A, which is federated with instance B but defederated with instance C. Can people from instance C see a post I make on instance B and vice-versa?

In some thread someone said that certain clients, among which Voyager, were able to block whole instances. I’m not sure it’s true. Is this possible? And if so, how could I do it?

OK so if you feel Lemmy has been trending towards hostility in the past weeks ppease here me out, interact in the comments but keep it civil.

Lemmy vs Reddit

We all had our reasons to move to Lemmy. What I remember clearly from the beginning of the summer was that we were all praising the tone. Over the years, Reddit has become increasingly toxic - most of all in the comment section. To me, that was what made Lemmy special. Even with less content, the general vobe was what made me come back every time.

clash of the clans

Due to the nature of the fediverse, we get to interact with people with different backgrounds and dofferent ideas. Potentially an incredibly enriching experience for everyone. Anti-defed lemmings defend staying federated with everyone for that precise reason, which I really get. But lately the vibe has turned sour. Every post that has the slightest political undertone becomes this big us-vs-them show. Please stop

discussion vs. shitshow

I am not arguing for stopping discussing our opinions. I also get the whole they don’t have downvotes thing. But can we please treat eachother with dignity, and when writing comments say ‘I believe’ or ‘in my opinion’ instead of ‘you all this or that’?

I think this is the only way forward if we want to prevent everyone from personally blocking a lot of instances in the furure.

The one and only reason the legal bills are very high, is because these douche bags are pleading not guilty for a crime they obviously committed, so no sympathy here.

Who’s willing to bet that if it does start to look bad, this guy will suddenly appear as a frail old man in too bad shape to properly face justice. No more make-up or hairdye.

Reminds me of a Pink Floyd lyric:

And when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown

And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone

And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around

So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone

Dragged down by the stone

Thanks for setting up the community!

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to be of any help with moderation. However, there are some ideas I would like to share, up to you in the community to decide whether or not they are any good. In my opinion, a community like this can flourish if there is a good mix of serious and lighthearted stuff going on. A few ideas on how to get this: 

Meme monday: memes of all kinds relating to science fiction welcome, except Star Wars. Not hating on star wars memes, but there are maybe dozens of communities dedicated to those.

Guess it Wednesday:  stills from a movie or TV show, the rest of us try to guess which one. Of course bonus for season and episode guess as well. May also feature short excerpts from books to be guest.

Caption competition friday/wrong amswers only: one of the moderators posts and image from a work of Science Fiction, the rest of us try to make a funny caption. Alternatively, the moderator asks a question about the image, and we are only allowed to give wrong answers.

It might be good to also discuss the duration of [spoilers] tag on a post after release of certain material

I’m only partly serious about this one, but maybe hating on cowboy bebop should lead to an immediate ban.

I thought us leftists didn’t want special bathrooms just for trans? They can just use the ones they most identify with right?

I would definitely hit that sex before marriage lounge

I think this is the best advice. These kinds of social gatherings take the pressure off socializing, you’re there because of something else and socializing is a side-effect. That feels nice for all parties. Choose something that is close to a honby or interest of tours, that way you’ll be more likely to meet likeminded people. Good luck OP and remember, you’ve got years to do this, you dont build up a social life in one or two weeks.

Edited to add sports, they’re great in melting the ice. Board game nights if that’s your cup of tea. Fantasy sports leagues

Thanks for sharing. Too bad this stuff is metastasizing all over Europe.
