I can't really think of a case where a post's image isn't relevant to the associated discussion. Even if it's just a nonsense post with an unrelated image, knowing what the irrelevant image is about would help make sense of the discussion.

I think this and the stuff happening at Twitter are a nice kickstart to get lemmy and other ferdiverse stuff going.
Long live the ferdervers!
But seriously, I'm with you in sentiment. I'm never going back to the centralised/for-profit soc med services.
All their value comes from the free interactions between people chatting, and they think they deserve to get rich for renting the hall. Fuck that, we can just rent the infrastructure ourselves if that's what it takes to talk in peace.
Same. Honestly it got me to stop putting butter on my toast. It's so nasty.
Can't say personally, but for many it's the first time they're even looking at what other engines have to offer.
Fedi seems to be really great for accessibility from what I've seen. At least I've never never interacted with so many visually impaired people before joining mastodon. So I'd say that culture is working.
I believe there's a nice way to go about (honey v vinegar, etc), but generally yeah, it feels really good to be in a virtual space that is so welcoming.
Welcome!
Not a lot of things more basic than your gender.
It's easy for us cis folks to hand wave it away as pointless frippery, since everyone already acknowledges our gender identity.
We have the privilege of not even having to think about it or question how we feel.
Not so easy for some other people.
Usually play some Doom 1 or 2, a level or an episode, or Minecraft if I have more time, but I'm in a boring replay/comfort phase because work is kicking my ass atm
I'd guess like 0.2 a year for me, since it's been a few years, and I don't see myself ever eating another unless it's offered to me.
I do like cookies though
They're neat (I've only tried Uni's), though imho I prefer the manual control of a regular mech/pencil when writing in cursive, because then I can choose when to rotate the lead (ie by rotating the entire pencils).
If you're used to writing with pencils you don't even think about it anymore. It's as natural as dotting an i.
That sounds nice. Similarly I've been in a book club for about two years now that was started on Reddit.
Although we haven't read a book in months, we still meet virtually every week, so I guess we're just friends now.
The ultimate test of these kinds of groups seems to be whether they can survive transplantation from one social medium to another. I wonder how my little book club would fare if there was a schism over using discord...
Maybe there is a board here that would help you set up something like that? It can't hurt to look around and put out some feelers.
I didn't really even think about it at all, since I fit in pretty well. I just ignored it. But I'm cis af, and not everyone is. So I can see the benefit to those people.
Also I don't think you remember how arbitrary all the gender norms sound when you first learn them. It all sounds totally unnatural at first.
My point is it's learned behaviour. Most people just forget the learning of it
I'm not seeing any downvotes on the kbin web app
On the flip side, they are immune to any other "cringe attacks" that come up. Who knows it might be strangely liberating
