They do. Nobody reads them

I know this is the least important one on there, but I don't get this thing lately where people talk about "staying hydrated" like it's some big challenge they have to put effort towards. Like... get thirsty, drink water?

Asking a bunch of random Internet posters on Lemmy, who know nothing about property speculation, land management, investment in general, or especially your country, while providing very few specifics about your plan, is not going to yield useful advice.

Sure, it comes up from time to time, if a bit less than e.g. Irish or Italian heritage. Hard to say why, but possibly because most German immigrants settled in the Midwest, which is typically an area you just don't hear as much about in the broader culture.

The question of identifying as a particular ethnic group vs as "American" is... complicated. For starters, it's very different for European vs non-European heritage, for a lot of reasons very tied up in both history and modern reality. It's honestly hard to comment on without saying something that someone else is going to object to. But by and large European ancestry is mostly viewed as a distant thing, just an interesting fact about your family, that maybe brings some unique traditions, or family dynamics/expectations, etc, but which has mostly been long since absorbed into the broader idea of "white American."

And George Soros being some kind of secret mastermind is also a right wing fever dream. Democrats wouldn't have any interest in doing such a thing

This is so vague it means literally nothing at all

As though Lemmy, or any other vote/like-driven social network, hasn't been that from day 1?

In the books, I don't believe they kill anyone - or can. They basically just scare off the corsairs so the rest of gondors army can join the main battle. So ops point is kinda moot

E: I guess it's a little ambiguous

Infinity to one, and lemmy is taking that shit way too seriously

Screaming seems like an overreaction

 

First of all, thank you so much for all your work! This is definitely a way better experience than the web client. And thanks for adding community blocking, so now I don't have to go back for that feature.

I like to keep pretty huge categories of communities out of my feed entirely. But, I also want to be aware of what other communities of interest might be out there, especially now while the Lemmy landscape is evolving so quickly. So the strategy of only ever browsing subs and foregoing All entirely doesn't really work.

But, as I've seen other people highlighting in other posts, federation also means that the number of redundant communities across instances is huge. I don't just have to block all the political communities, I have to block them everywhere we're federated with. My block-list is already gigantic and I don't anticipate the need to block communities going away soon.

It'd be a much smoother experience if Block Community was an option directly in the three-dot menu of an individual post, instead of having to leave my feed, go through another menu, and go back every time.
