I am not annoyed by Lemmy’s constant glitches. It adds to the charm of the place.

Lemmy is a volunteer effort. You want everything to run corporate-smooth, that’s ‘X’ and TikTok and Reddit.

A long-ago girlfriend made us these for breakfast, and called them glory holes. Seriously, circa 1975. She had no idea, said her family had always called them glory holes.

I can’t even get past the user interface at Discord. Rarely have I felt so uninvited to participate, even as the site aggressively invites me to participate.

I was intentionally out of contact with the family for about 25 years, and have no regrets. Had a great time without them.

A few of them I’ve missed, and I’ve mellowed, so I’m back in contact again but only under my terms, and it’s working out nicely. Thanks for asking.

Don’t kink-shame.

I wasn’t referring to r/jailbait, nor was I implying he was a pedophile. I was clumsily alluding to comments purportedly written by Swartz, supporting peoples’ right to publish, read, and share kiddie porn.

But you know what? I haven’t read Swatrtz’s comments myself, so I’m not sure exactly what he said, and in a few minutes googling I can’t even find what I’d read about whatever Swartz may or may not have written.

So the line about kiddie porn was me talking out of my ass. Never a good idea. Knowing nothing, nothing is what I should’ve said.

I think he’d say, “Please spell my name right.”

I think he’d want more kiddie porn — he had a definite urge in that direction.

I think Aaron Swartz was a complicated guy who did some good but had some enormous issues to say the least, and the ongoing worship of him as a hero is not a good idea.

Depends on the instance. Here on Lemmy.World, it’s allowed and encouraged, but on some instances they don’t want the traffic and storage.

This is helpful, for the largest instances:

Old guy here, wondering what Scandinavian Airlines has to do with any of this. Seriously, what’s SAS?
