  • I’ve moderated subreddits, I’ve moderated chat rooms and have had managerial experiences in other things over the years online.

    People hated me moderating because I ‘took out the trash’ that people, including other moderators, considered the life of a community. People being meme shitlords, people trolling, people gaslighting, people instigating matters .etc

    And they all got by because of friendly nepotism and shitty comradery among shitty people who love other shitty people.

    I’m not the kind of moderator that I see in most moderators now, who have a brain aneurysm over some expressions and thoughts that they see others express that they deliberately misinterpret. All so that they can construct their self-justifying reasons to ban over.

    And that is power-tripping, to me.


  • Invest in electric heaters.

    If you already had a place picked that’s in the north, make sure you settle in as early as a month or two before it’s winter season starts.

    Do not ever neglect snow tires. If you’re tight on money, getting even 2 sets of tires for wintry conditions is better than none. But 4 is still recommended and no, All-Seasons are terrible for winters regardless of brand. They just aren’t designed for winter conditions, they’re designed mostly for Spring/Summer/Fall.

    Buy winter emergency sets for your vehicle. Buy one for the glove compartment, the ones where they actually have emergency power banks in them. Buy another for general use, especially ones equipped with a piece together shovel.

    Use HEET only in 30 below temperatures.



  • You’re almost asking to be in an environment where you’re surrounded by 386 computers, PDAs, CRTs and beepers.

    We’re sadly stuck with the way capitalism has enshittified technology to where it is almost unavoidable and the only options we’re down to is how much of ourselves we limit the access to that stuff. We’re also stuck with just going second-hand shopping because almost no company wants to go back to the way things were unless they want to market ViNtAgE or ReTrO throwbacks which even they sometimes shit all over those models.


  • For once, I am not seeing comments where it’s just an endless chain mixed with the responses of some dude’s alt and people who run a joke right off the treads. I’m seeing just responses. Actual thoughts. Even if the thoughts are shitty i.e argumentative and illogical trolls who bait, they’re still somewhat thoughts.

    I don’t see a lot of “DATS WHAT SHE SAID!” followed by “AND HE SAID” followed by “AND THE CAT SAID” on and on. That’s the kind of trash you’d find on Reddit, even on subreddits where the news is reported.

    Moderators that actually moderate. Now there’s still a disagreement with how things are moderated and that’s case by case. It’s not strictly a Reddit or Lemmy thing. It’s an internet thing. But, moderators on the Fediverse in general, seem to be more responsive and a little more logical than any Reddit one ever. Reddit mods, go on power-hungry blazetrails where they just ban and ban based on THEIR interpretations of the rules and not the general rules already set in the community they mod in.





  • How would the mainstream view it?

    A hip cool new thing that they’re just knowing. Probably intimidated too.

    How would software support improve?

    Borrowing ideas from already successful ways of supporting software done in other fields.

    How would gaming look like?

    Probably a huge deal breaker for some. If they know they can’t run 100% of the games they acquire on an OS, then that’s it.

    Which country will become the first Linux majority? India? Seychelles?

    India. It’s projected to grow at 25.2%

    How many local governments would start adopting it?

    Not many.

    What year do you think it will happen in?

    If it took Linux 3 decades to finally get to even 2%, I’m betting it’ll take another 3 decades or longer.
