MFW I figured out who the general audience of Lemmy is..... in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Took me a while as I'm doing this on a phone but here are my blocked instances with reasons, and for your enjoyment, all my blocked communities (there are considerably fewer than 800 though)

Mostly I block things I have little interest in, foreign languages, nsfw, anime, bands, video games, religions, subcultures I'm not a part of. I generally don't have any ill will toward them but have no need to see their posts. Some of these I've blocked after browsing c/all and seen one post. This blocklist has made c/all pleasantly readable for me. I've also got a few dozen users blocked but I'll I'll keep that list to myself.

Blocked Instances

It's been months since I blocked all the individual instances that post things like that, I never see it. But yeah not surprised it's still there. Lemmy blocklists should be a thing, would make the new user experience much more endurable. Last I checked I have over 800 communities blocked and dont miss any of them.

I had a couple sticks of the standardly creamy Cabot in the fridge and happily still cooking with it. Extra creamy just seemed excessive when I saw it in the store.

I believe the adage "business in the front, party in the back" applies here. For me the gayness is far more in what a man would do with his own reproductive organ, rather than what another dick happens to be up to.

Pegging of course is totally a normal and common thing in hetero relationships and nobody says that is gay as her flushed bosom is pressed sweatily up against your back, perhaps the most feminine act a woman can perform for her male lover.

Receptive anal intercourse from a guy is only maybe twice as gay as having a man massage aching shoulders, as one's own reproductive organ isn't (necessarily) involved. Fucking another dude in the ass is orders of magnitude gayyer, and entirely unlike anal sex where a woman is the receptive partner.

In this novella-length treatise based on the lived experience of hundreds of thousands of survey respondents I will

Never had a Twitter but joined Bluesky today. Haven't posted yet but 18 followers. Bots? (lemmy.world)
 

I never used Twitter but wanted to check out the new thing replacing it over on the edge of the Fediverse. Created an account with no bio or profile pic and followed a few dozen personalities that I recognized on there. Half a day later I have 18 followers.

I looked at some of them and they were obvious bots, usernames were random alphanumeric strings, or they were promoting onlyfans, or they were trying to build followings by reblogging popular posts but not contributing anything original or curating in any human way. Others seem more believable and have realistic bios and post somewhat engaging chatter.

Not knowing what the general user experience is, should I consider most random follows to be bots or is it common practice for users to see who follows pages you like and follow other people on that list? The somewhat convincing profiles have me a little queasy thinking of all the AI bots driving us increasingly toward a Dead Internet.

Not sure how long I'll continue but happy to test it out and follow personalities I know from other platforms and enjoy their content, while blocking all of my followers that I don't immediately recognize. Is that standard Twitter/Bluesky good practice or am I not "trusting the process" enough and allowing full access to randos? Closest to Twitter I came was Tumblr circa 2010-2016 and in that time I saw the bots increase dramatically in a way that sabotaged community trust and got quite stalkerish.

Interested in your thoughts even if they aren't directly applicable to my experience.

Are there other notable assassinations in recent or not-so-recent history that brought out overwhelming public support, such as, perhaps, when Gavrilo Princip shot the Archduke Franz Ferdinand? (lemmy.world)
 

Disclaimer: The Great War caused immeasurable suffering and loss but also Gavrilo is handsome

What are good/respectable options these for a remote hosted Vanilla Minecraft server these days? (lemmy.world)
 

I was going to go with wisehosting.com after Mumbo Jumbo promoted them with an ad in one of his videos but apparently they're in Estonia and my bank doesnt do business with that country.

I've never had a server in MC before, primarily playing solo but have been going on my friend's realm the past couple months and really enjoying it. My complaint mainly is that realms limits render distance to like 16 or so and I'd like to crank it up to 32 as long as client side lag isn't too bad, and I've been told servers don't have the same cap on render distance as realms. We do like to build largeish amateur xp farms and regular redstone contraptions but shouldn't need something huge that can run Minecraft-in-Minecraft or anything like that.

So yeah, nothing fancy, no mods. Maybe 10 total players most we've ever had online at once was 5. What options are popular and known, inexpensive and reasonably reliable? Figured I'd ask on here rather than troll through old redd*t threads looking for people promoting server hosting. Thanks!

Oasis is an AI generated Minecraft... experience? I wouldn't call it a game but you actually can sort of play it. (oasis.decart.ai)
 

Regardless of how you feel about AI, a lot of people have been posting videos about this so you might be interested in seeing it.

Worked on desktop on Chrome, some phones might run it but mine didn't.

What 250 songs were on the George W Bush ipod playlist that were leaked in 2005? (lemmy.world)
 

I've read ten articles and tried a couple different searches but have only found a dozen or so songs listed anywhere online. Is the entire 250 song playlist recorded somewhere?

It's apparently impossible to order something from the Belgian Amazon site to have it shipped to the US. Is this true, and is it true for every non-US Amazon site? (lemmy.world)
 

I found this aftershave I'd been looking for on Belgian Amazon (amazon.com.be) - they dont sell the same kind in the US anymore but it's apparently still available overseas. I was going to see about having some shipped to me in the US and couldn't figure out any way to do so. I know the US Amazon site has this AmazonGlobal program where people from dozens of countries can order from the US site and have it shipped to them but apparently the non-US sites dont have a similar service available. Am I missing something?

YouTube update breaks fullscreen on my Android 9 phone (lemmy.world)
 

Breaking things that worked flawlessly for years, nice. Hopefully fixed soon. It's not just me is it?

Screen rotates when I click the fullscreen button but video doesn't fill the screen, rotates back to vertical after a second. I was able to get it to work properly by turning on rotate screen in the pull down menu and then turning the phone. It still remained in the squashed format shown above but when I pull the video down and then tap on the minimized video it pops out into full screen finally. So it's still usable but the 5 step fix is pretty frustrating.

No I haven't filed a bug report, youtube is a grownup company and do it's own rudimentary beta testing. Sad to see unforced errors like this more and more common in longstanding industry standard apps.
