Is it maybe because you consider your friends to be weird, so nobody wants that level of judgement when they join your friendship circle?

To hamfistedly adapt an oft-quoted phrase: "if all the people that want to be your friend are weirdos, then maybe you're the weirdo".

That said, I'm taking the view that you're here for a constructive opinion and not just for a kicking, and I'm aware of the sensitivities around the nature of this community - so have you considered being more of what you want to see in others? Positivity and personality focus are super attractive qualities (in a platonic way) and by bigging up your friends positive traits rather than ragging on their own little annoyances makes you more of an attractive person to befriend.

"maybe if I hit 'compile' really fast, then the bug might not have time to manifest itself this time"

It's not great in the UK either mind, for fucks sake don't copy us!

95 was an innovator if anything, ahead of pretty much anything else on desktop at the time, even if it DID fart and die whenever someone looked at it funny.

He's not entirely the problem now - I think it's a three-tier problem with problems above Gats, with Gats, and below him.

Gatland himself should never have come back - if he didn't, he'd have had a statue on St Mary's Street by now. He did come back though, and by that point the world had moved on from Gatlandball. Other teams could see through it; refs were wise to the cheeky tricks: and commentators could read set plays before the ball had even come out.

The Wales team isn't exactly stellar either. It's a team full of great players, but very few world class players. It's a team that would be sent on tour to the US or to the South Africa provinces five or ten years ago, but not a team that can stand up to top tier rugby.

From above, the WRU have let it stagnate. Cutting development programs and academies; and letting the four Pro12 teams (or whatever it is these days) flounder have given the team nothing to play with for the next five or ten years.

It's an absolute disaster, but I suppose it's given the Western Mail front pages for a while.

I mean, if I was going to go out, then getting my shit mixed by a meteor is pretty awesome. I'm sure I'll make it on to a few Buzzfeed articles over the next ten or twenty years.

All things considered though, it would indeed be nice if it landed somewhere inconsequential like the ocean; the desert; or Florida.

I've read through a few of your replies, and they generally contain a "so, ..." and a generally inaccurate summary of what the conversation thread is about. I don't know whether there's a language barrier here or you're being deliberately obtuse.

It would appear to be that your desire for a community without moderators is so strong, that a platform like Lemmy is not suitable for what you want, and as such you are likely not going to find the answer you want here and spend your time arguing against the flow.

Good luck finding what you're looking for 👍

Make a reliable way to automate that, and you'll make a lot of money.

Rely on doing it for yourself, and... well good luck with the mental health in a few years time.

I've met my fair share of cockwombles in my time - the public-facing element of some of my jobs and roles have guaranteed that - but I've never met anyone truly evil.

I've met a dude who was more than pleasant, respectable background, good laugh... who later turned out to be peddling kiddie porn, and got caught a second time after being released from prison so yeah fuck that guy.

I've met the one of the nicest guys in the world - fit guy for his age in his late fifties, had a way of connecting with you in the first five minutes and leaving every conversation feel positive, and generally an all round cracking fella... only to get hit with cancer before he was 60. So no, I guess he absolutely did not deserve that.

Unfortunately, there's more instances of people getting away with real shitty behaviour than there is of satisfying instances of karma biting them in the arse.
