    Kinetic Yellow.

    Illegal in some countries because that sort of colour is reserved for Emergency Vehicles.

    I wanted to join Team Tennis Ball when I purchased my Jimny, but decided that Team Latte was a much better team to be on.

    The reason why the Jimny (Samurai) was discontinued in the US was due to Consumer Reports corrupting their testing procedures due to corporate pressure.

    The fact that a Jimny will not survive being hit by an oversized Truck reflects more poorly on the society that is normalising driving oversized Trucks than on the Jimny.







  • Honestly, I think is the whole ”First Post” mindset.

    When you post a reply on Mastodon, it is more intimate, the only people who see it are the original tooter and anyone who actively seeks more commentary. It is a dialogue between two people, or multiple dialogues between one person and many others.

    Lemmy is more like a forum, where everyone can see all comments, right underneath the original post. It is more like an open-table discussion.

    It is not that Lemmy is more social, it is just less personal.











  • It is absolutely atrocious to use and constantly tries to ram Algorithmic crap down your through. The thing is, most normies are there and for every person who is Internet savvy enough to see the benefit of Mastodon and Lemmy (and Pixelfed, etc) there are a dozen normies who don’t and can’t be bothered finding out.

    I would not say that Facebook is popular, but I will say that it is common. It is literally the Lowest Common Denominator for port of social interaction on the Internet.
