I use the Warthog with 1-1-2-2-1 and Magnetic Pellet Alignment. It will kill common bugs with a single shot to the mouth at decent range, has a good firing rate, and the ammo is plentiful. You can use the turret whip to get stragglers on the ceiling out of your effective reach. It does struggle a bit with larger enemies, though, I admit.

That's blood on that hammer isn't it

Modding is the way

Differences in instance-level topical focus and moderation philosophy, for one. Also physical location and "vibe".

There are a certain set of bigoted and/or extremist instances that I would judge an instance for not defederating from. There's a reason I've stuck with .world even through some turbulence. Some heinous shit shouldn't be tolerated by anyone.

I hope Lemmy eventually picks up more features like polls. I miss natively embedding polls.

The difference is in obscurity and vanity. Everyone online knows who Musk is, people outside Reddit (and even those on Reddit, some of them) don't know who Spez is. The scale is different, and so are the severity and publicness of the negative changes. Like hell, a total site rebrand is a pretty noticeable thing.

EDIT: Case in point, everyone refers to him as Spez instead of his name, Steve Huffman.

As an aside, check out !specialized_instances@kbin.social if you haven't already.

Those factors are what help identify a "tankie", among other things. Communists are cool, but apologia of atrocities is not an inherent tenet of communism, despite what some people on the sketchier parts of Lemmy would have you think.

...It seems like you've described the problem yourself in the OP, but dismissively?

I missed this one a lot

Can you see the word "bitch"?

I have heard lemmy.ml blocks curse words. My account is on lemmy.world and I see no removeds.

Wouldn't be the weirdest rebrand recently, honestly

Curate.

Block liberally. Especially block any community that is focused around hating something - even if it's a thing that deserves scorn, the vibe will grind you down, over time, especially if there are many communities like it. Block users who are assholes, after reporting them if it's bad enough.

Subscribe/follow/equivalent-action things you are genuinely interested in; cut out the really general categories unless you actively enjoy browsing that topic. Smaller communities are usually better, if they have enough content to be alive.

If you have any sort of hobby, try joining a space about it. If it's too toxic, block it, but if not, it is a good place to destress and perhaps even make friends.

Curate, it can't be overstated enough. A lot of sites don't let you sufficiently curate your feed, and if they don't, you should leave em.

Imagine if you could decorate your little bedroom, and then "take it with you" when you join a lobby.

Someone else got to ya before I did, but yes that is exactly what I was referring to.

The only thing I needed to see about hexbear is that the "official" post from their admins about their pending federation tried to both-sides the Russian invasion of Ukraine, saying that "it may be justified". That alone is enough for me to never want to see them or anything from there again.

This is one more reason I'm sticking with lemmy.world as my instance of choice.

I am subscribed to over 100 channels, ranging from daily uploads to 1 video every few months. Frankly I don't need more stuff to watch. When I do want to find something new, it's either a recommendation from a friend, something I saw on a different social media, or something I searched for myself deliberately.

This change isn't a good thing, it's Google trying to pressure more people into giving up more data, but the "threat" of them removing their algorithmically recommended content from my feed is not a threat at all, it's a bonus if anything.

Skins for more things. Drop pod skin, resupply pod skin, doretta skin, molly skin; have the host's skins applied by default but then have a toggle to pick a random persons's skins instead.

My first character ever was a goblin wizard (part of the Izzet league in the Ravnica setting). I've had a soft spot for goblins ever since.

EDIT: and yes my familiar was a rat how did you know -
