Eventually they tell me that I have a “Contemplating Poop” face and that they always know if I’m considering taking a dump.

People don't know that this is what a healthy mature loving relationship looks like. This is the endgame where your chosen life mate knows you so well that in some ways they know you better than yourself. This is likely just one example of subtle hints they know of to judge your mood and your needs. Later it just seems like magic when your partner puts a meal down in front of you, and you just realized you're so thankful because you're famished. If you're doing a loving relationship right, you do this for them too in ways they can't understand.

Thats why creating transparent pre moderation tools like the image scanners used by many fediverse instances is so important.

Are there any moderation tool projects going on right now one could throw a few bucks at to support it?

Again, I ask: Why are you surprised that literal anti-capitalists hate billionaires?

You're making authoritative claims to what the Fediverse is, who the people posting here are, and what their collectives beliefs and goals are. The Fediverse certainly isn't a monolith that you can do that to. Hate isn't an identity, nor is it the goal of the Fediverse. I think this part of the original closure notice may apply to your line of responses here.

"The worst part is that they're so caught up in their own self-righteousness that they can't see they're just as bad or worse than what they're spewing violent rhetoric at; trying to talk sense into anyone or de-escalate things is immediately met with "bootlicker", wild accusations, and/or worse."

I agree with you. However, I don't think most people understand that. For most folks they haven't been exposed to the most mentally darkest souls among us.

but also what did they expect?

Can I ask you what the worst examples of community management looks like? As in, what do you believe would be the worst part of the job?

Read his rant. It just sounds like he’s mad at us for being mean towards the poor wittle billionaires/nazis.

Considering how few references there were in the post, and your projection onto it. I think you may be part of the group he's talking about that is causing him to close up shop. Its just my speculation though. If I'm right, how does that make you feel? Are you happy he's closing up the instance and leaving the Fediverse or are you sad that a heavy contributor to the Fediverse is leaving?

For those that follow motorsports, Ginger Spice's (Geri Halliwell) husband just lost his high profile role as lead of the top rated Red Bull Formula 1 racing team. Yes, she's married to Christian Horner.

What would ICE need with raw steaks?

Thanks for that context.

The specific "burned out" is a common killer among folks that try this: community management

"Well, two years in, and I cannot say this place is any better, just differently bad if not worse. Too many people here seem to think that because it's not "corpo social media" that anything goes, and boy do some people really run with that."

I can't say I blame them. People can be horrible. Managing a community also means managing the worst of people. I had a former employer that did community management of a dating site. The level of mental trauma the front line workers endured was more than I could imagine. This is also why I completely understand instance admins that follow an aggressive blocking/banning approach. Beehaw put up tall walls and defederated aplenty. Blahaj.zone actively bans based upon user activity that is even on other unrelated instances. I can't fault either of these approaches because the alternative is dealing with the worst users en masse.

I hope that instance owner/manager gets some of that much deserved rest.

This project has been discontinued and the repo archived. I am done with Lemmy, the Fediverse as a whole, and have no desire to continue developing for the platform or (especially) the demographic thereof.

Wow, what the heck happened? Do we know the dev's lemmy username for any clues?

A non-optical sensor based solution would require other sensors to calculate the relative position of the solar cooker oriented to Earth as well as calculate the elevation. Your solution is turnkey that you just slap down and it does everything needed without external input beyond solar radiance.

Also, a whole bunch of your approach has many other applications with only very minor tweaks. I like what you did.

No, but I have done and said stuff that gives me an intense feeling of embarrassment when I recall the event.

Wait, this isn't a daily or near hourly occurrence? The longer you live you even have a longer list of these to recall intrusively when you're doing completely unrelated things.

 

So wholesome!

 

Tom Smothers, half of the Smothers Brothers and the co-host of one of the most socially conscious and groundbreaking television shows in the history of the medium, has died at 86.

The National Comedy Center, on behalf of his family, said in a statement Wednesday that Smothers died Tuesday at home in Santa Rosa, California, following a cancer battle.

“I’m just devastated,” his brother and the duo’s other half, Dick Smothers, told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday. “Every breath I’ve taken, my brother’s been around.”
