I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.

Ask me anything.

I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

  • I wasn’t really looking at the MAU stats when I made this; it just felt like it’s been more actively lately (both good and bad). Unfortunate the numbers are actually trending downward.

    For one thing, people might be turning away due to the upcoming USA election

    Possibly. I’ve gone into self-imposed social media blackouts during election season many a time. Sometimes you just need a break.

    Whenever I go looking for examples of such I usually find it in 0-60 seconds, by going to Lemmy.ml and browsing by Local … people are not willing to put up with such, and seem to be leaving us

    Yeah. I have felt for a while that ml being the official or at least de facto flagship instance is doing more harm than good. I’m not going to tell them how to run their instance, but I am sad and frustrated that it seems to turn so many people away under the impression the whole fediverse is like that.

    I’m cool with Fedizens 😀.




  • As a Reddit refugee myself,I can’t disagree with that. But I will clarify that there’s generally two kinds of Reddit Refugees, though:

    • The kind that got fed up with Reddit and wants to be part of something better
    • The people who were banned from Reddit and think this is some kind of safe haven to continue acting on their worst impulses that got them banned elsewhere.

    The meme is largely referencing the latter.



  • I used to fix phones back in the dumbphone days. Other than needing a special screwdriver, it was extremely straightforward as long as you were careful with the ribbon cables. I guess I don’t have anything to add, lol, I was just reminiscing.

    I actually still have two of the tiny torx screwdrivers I used to use. They’re magic because they seem to fit about every tiny random device I’ve needed to disassemble and I’ve had them for 17 years without losing them.
