This and the way Mastodon handles likes/favorites are the biggest things holding them back right now, IMO. People don’t want to bother with a social media they actually have to put in the work to curate themselves, hell the algorithm is one of the main reasons why TikTok is so successful. Also, by having favorites (which is… weird and confusing? Just call it “likes”, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel here). Not only do people get confused between favoriting something and bookmarking something, but since it’s only counting the favorites from your instance, it makes it look like posts are getting barely any interaction, giving this “screaming into the void” feeling that will cause a lot of users to lose interest. The number of likes favorites needs to be cumulative across instances.
Just give us 2143 already.

It’s on the Series X/S and the PS5. They’re bringing it to the previous console generation now.
ProTip: you can easily deflate a car’s tires by placing a small pebble in the valve cap before screwing it back on
Prob just another exclusivity deal.
One of my dream games is a Chaos Theory remake in the same vein as the RE remakes. That, and don’t mess with the Amon Tobin soundtrack - it’s perfect as is.
What did he say?
Omni Man vs Homelander gonna be a sight to see.
AFAIK, lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml use it because the ml can also stand for “Marxist-Leninist”, and the two primary maintainers of Lemmy are Marxist-Leninists . Not sure about the others though.
Not built in, but if you use an extension like Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey you can load this sweet userscript called LemmyTools, which adds what you’re looking for.
It’s kind of like RES, but for Lemmy. It’s pretty early in its development and featureset but it’s been really nice to use on my end.
Yeah, I think you’re right. Puddle of Mudd did form in the early 90’s, but didn’t really hit mainstream success until the 2000s it seems.
Could be a Hole, could also be a Puddle of Mudd

A Sydney sailor who survived months at sea eating raw fish and drinking rainwater with his dog is “stable and very well”, his doctor has said.
Tim Shaddock, from Sydney, and his dog Bella were found stranded in the Pacific Ocean after their boat was damaged in a storm, weeks into their trip from Mexico to French Polynesia.
Shaddock’s doctor told 9News the man had “normal vital signs”.
Professor Mike Tipton, an ocean survival expert, says luck was only a part of the pair’s incredible story.
“It’s a combination of luck and skill,” he told Weekend Today.
“And also knowing for example, as Tim did, that during the heat of the day you need to protect yourself because the last thing you want when you’re in danger of becoming dehydrated is to be sweating.”
Tipton said the key element for survival was being able to secure a fresh supply of water - and for Shaddock this came down to climate and location.
“These voyages of any great length tend to occur in the Pacific,” he said.
“If you look back through history, they tend to occur in warm environments because if it was a cold environment you don’t survive long enough.”
Nonetheless, he described Shaddock’s rescue as a “needle in a haystack” situation.
“People need to appreciate how small the boat is and how vast the Pacific is. The chances of someone being found are pretty slim,” he said.
How did the ill-fated journey unfold?
Shaddock and Bella departed La Paz in Mexico three months ago, but just weeks into the voyage they were hit by a storm, which crippled their vessel.
The pair got the bare essentials by drinking rainwater and eating raw fish for months.
They spent their days waiting, and hoping for rescue.
Salvation came about two months later when a helicopter accompanying a tuna trawler spotted the drifting boat.
When Shaddock was found, he appeared to be healthy and in good spirits - all things considered.
“I have been through a very difficult ordeal at sea,” he told 9News.
"I’m just needing rest and good food because I have been alone at sea a long time.
“Otherwise I’m in very good health.”
The 51-year-old is still on his way back to dry land, where he will be met with further medical assistance.
His companion Bella is also looking safe and well.
Tipton said it would have been an isolating few months and likened Shaddock’s story to a real-life Cast Away, referring to the 2000 movie tarring Tom Hanks.
He said having Bella onboard would have helped a “tremendous amount”.
“I think that may have well made the difference,” Tipton said.
"You’re living very much from day-to-day and you have to have a very positive mental attitude in order to get through this kind of ordeal and not give up.
"But also, having a plan, rationing yourself in terms of water and food, is really the secret to long survival voyages.
“Just imagine how dark and lonely it would feel out there at night time.”
Tipton added Shaddock will need to slowly wean himself back onto a normal diet.
“It has to be a slow return to normal and he will probably need to be kept an eye on for several months.”
Last time I went through CDG it took me 3 hours from arrival to get to the gate. Luckily the flight was delayed, so I was able to still make it. Absolute insanity.
One of my earliest memories is of my mom taking my brothers and I by SRQ on our way to school so we could see Air Force One, which was parked there at the time before the attacks took place. I remember when it flew over us shortly after getting sent home. Big plane.
The Ruudder steers us!
Not sure how I feel about this article. It comes off as weirdly defensive about Modi, while trying to paint his critics as misguided or arrogant fools without really addressing what exactly was said. Also, I’m not really sure how much weight the political opinion of a White House singer has. Was that really the best person they could find for this interview?
Killing Floor. I’ll probably be playing that game till the day I die.
