People still talk like you?
Edit: I'm sorry, what exactly did I get mass-downvoted for again? For missing a joke? People do legitimately say garbage like this in 2024. It's called Poe's Law. I fucking hate social media.
So if an instance is defederated from a second, I wouldn't see any cross-posts from the second?
I tried Claude once and it was absolute garbage. Then again, it advertised that it could analyze a .txt document and send me results. It only hallucinated that it could give me results.
Update: I'm using Claude now, at least for a month.
Additionally, first I thought I liked Gemini, but I'm not interested in an AI that can't remember a conversation. Chat-GPT could at least do that.
So what you're saying is, I can block a toxic community, but I am still forced to see when they post the same post again somewhere else.
Ugh. Can I just block literally every post with a certain word in it? Also every comment with that same word?
Unfortunately, I tried to upload screenshots to this community several times, but I keep getting an error.

I blocked [community]@lemmy.ml, and I use a script to block lemmy.ml results themselves. So [community]@lemmy.ml should never, ever show up on my feed. Yet here it is due to a crosspost to news@lemmy.world. This is madness.
When you block a community for being effing insufferable, it should block its cross-posts too.
Japanese media is stupid too, Pokémon especially. South Park even commented on that when it was new. So it was stupid against stupid.
I don't know, The Joker used to be written to be funny, and DC keeps trying to strip that away from him.
God dammit, I just watched that movie for the first time. With my housemates, like two weeks ago.
...You can be anti-Muslim without it having anything to do with other groups of people. Not that being anti-Muslim is a good thing.
God I hate the binary-thinking world we live in.
Either they're really harmfully stupid, or they're an unethical bad-faith/lying asshole. Pick one.

What the heck is with the "-er" suffix?
-----
"I'm a witcher."
"What does a witcher do?"
"I create watch catch breed f*** hunt witches."
"I'm a birder."
"What does a birder do?"
"I create catch hunt breed f*** watch birds."
"Actually I think several of those could apply..."

I think the confusing-ass formula is this:
A [word1]er is a [word2]er of [word1]s.

Housemate: Question. Why is Friday evening the end of Friday but, Christmas Evening is the beginning of Christmas?
Me: Technically there are two. "Christmas eve" and "Christmas Eve". That's not counting the third one, where "Christmas" refers to the season instead of the day(s), meaning there are many Christmas eves but only one Christmas Eve.
Couldn't figure out which community this pun belonged in most.
I was trying to change my primary YouTube/Google account while still holding onto my Movies & TV purchases.
- You can't change the email address associated with your YouTube account or Google Play Movies & TV purchases.
- You can't transfer your purchases to a new Google account.
- There is a way to create a Google Play family account, but it's so buried and un-obvious that it takes search engine research to accidentally discover that this is an option.
- Once you create your family account, apparently some purchases can't be shared due to how they were paid for years ago.
- When you try to share many stated-as-"eligible" purchases with the family by using the toggle, it errors, and a refresh shows that it never shared. I used Firefox, Edge, no VPN, and no adblocker. Tons of attempts. Nothing. No fix.
- Google has no proper support channel.
- If you try to remove the family account and host it under the Google account that owns all the purchases in hopes that they will now work, you will discover that none of the accounts can join a family plan again for 12 fucking months.
Lesson: Don't ever buy your shit through Google Play. Put your pirate hat on.
I didn't read the books.
Prisoner of Azkaban— and to a lesser extent Chamber of Secrets and Goblet of Fire— had a necessary mix of whimsy, humor, color, and charm, and also seriousness/darkness. The series should have stayed that way.
But then first they sucked out the literal color, then the literal light, then the happiness out of the movies. By the time I saw the earliest part of Deathly Hollows, I just stopped caring. Every moment became joyless and hard to watch.
If there's no more discovery of the whimsy of the wizarding world, no more wonderment, no more seeing characters be just plain likeable, why do I care anymore? The series slowly became about friends being jealous and petty, people being double-agents, and about death and loss.
I had to read a summary of the events of Deathly Hollows, because I couldn't subject myself to 4 more hours of misery after the latter two-thirds of Half-Blood Prince. Now I'm just going to enjoy the full LEGO Harry Potter collection game.
A lot of music— especially metal— is known for having lyrics that sound cool and evoke a specific feeling but that don't actually have any coherence. Creek Mary's Tears tells a specific message; but for the most part Nightwish's lyrics don't.
I feel like it's wasted potential. After listening to Two for Tragedy over and over today, I feel like this song could have been way better if it actually told a story instead of just sounded nice. I understand the principle that having vague lyrics can leave songs open to interpretation, but I feel like a lot of these— like Nightwish— don't really have the right words to provide a lot of room for meaningful interpretation.
I just saw my first Hexbear post, and I am not used to seeing this level of stupid. I don't want to see any more of it.
I just joined Lemmy today and I guess I'm making the first post in !writing. What happens if there are no mods? Is there no tag feature? What about rules list feature for communities?
