People feel that "cis" is a slur because it puts them on equal footing with trans people.

They prefer to consider themselves "normal" while "trans" people the weird ones whom can only be labelled with anything other than "normal." Being called "cis" makes them feel as if they can also be labelled as something other than "normal."

Quite a lot, actually:

1. The rule. As the sidebar states, You must post before you leave. If you visit this sub, you must post. No such rules exist on !random@kbin.social.

2. This community seems to focus more on memes than random@kbin.social, which is more random in terms of content. Everything that doesn't fit in other kbin.social magazine goes to random, but 196 isn't completely random as you rarely finds discussions such as this post.

3. The culture. Historically, 196 has heavy ties with transgender subculture since it was still on Reddit, and it still is to this day. This community is hosted on lemmy.blahaj.zone which is primarily centered around gender diverse and other LGBTQ folk. Random@kbin.social is hosted on a more general instance. There's a lot of memes here which trans people could relate, and many-- if not most-- people here are transgender.

Some browser supports blocking videos from autoplaying, Firefox is one of them but maybe chrome has similar options too. Check the browser settings.

Generally, I tend to focus on smaller creators, their qualities are usually better.

The channels I watched include Nitro Rad (gaming), MattKC (tech), and Modern Vintage Gamer (retro console/gaming).

I assume we're talking about spam bots, not bots whose entire purpose is to reupload content from elsewhere into here (i.e. reddit reposter bot).

Most likely, spam. Spam and scam has been quite a problem on Mastodon, so I wouldn't be surprised if bad actors want to bring them here.

Basically: this community requires you to make a post before you leave, so people post to follow the rules, hence the title 'rules'

IIRC, it comes from the old practices of the r/196 community before... that... idk, I'm also new here.

The canadians: profused sweating

Oh my it's so cute!

Why do we even need to find the full digits of pi? Wouldn't it be simpler if we keep it short? I'm going to get mad at mathematicians for making pi more complex instead of accepting that maybe pi is indeed more complex than 3.14! /s

To be fair, "cis" comes from latin which means "on the same side of," in contrast to "trans" which means "on the other side of."

Why use that instead of non-trans? I don't know, but yeah, I don't think the word is a slur.

The story of how I got my name was both interesting and mundane.

I played a videogame named Stardew Valley and created a female character there. I don't really think about it much when choosing her name, I just wanted a plant-related feminine name so I chose Jasmine.

Many weeks later, my egg cracked and I randomly chose Jasmine as my new name. Later that day, I realized that the name was the same as my Stardew character.

I have quite a few recommendations. They are not quite non-freemium since they are free, but if your reason to prefer non-freemium is to avoid ads and in app purchases, then none of these games have them. They are all also open source and the link I provided below will be for their respective F-Droid version (note: some of these games are not available on Google Play Store):

• Simon Tatham's Puzzle - A collection of many puzzle games ported to Android. The puzzles include Minesweeper, Net, Sudoku, and more.
• Simple Solitaire Collection - As the name says, it's a collection of card-based Solitaire games.
• Simple Brick Games - A game that imitates very basic handheld with very small pixel count. Games include tetris, breakout, and more.
• 1010 Klooni - A puzzle game where you have to use various shaped blocks to fill an entire horizontal or vertical line.
• Tower Jumper - This is a clone of a popular android game in which you move a jumping ball and try to reach the end of a tower avoiding the obstacles.
• Ball2Box - A puzzle game about shooting a ball into the box.
• Anuto - Another ugly tower defense.

This particular game requires far more attention and strategy than the ones listed above, but it can be played once every few minutes if you constantly save and reload (just don't play online):

• Unciv - 4X civilization-building game, similar to Sid Meier's Civilization series.

To be perfectly fair, this is also the case even with real life friend groups, where there are generally that one or two friends who hold the friendship the most.

With the vast majority of Lemmy users being refuges from Reddit, it's easy to see why "Reddit ded" circlejerk is strong. It's the most relatable thing to everyone here, as nearly everyone here can relate. Not to mention it's the only thing that unites us as it is the only thing we have in common, regardless of which community you used to belong to on Reddit.

But, I do see those posts less and less. As time went by, I'm sure people will move on from the circlejerk (probably to another circlejerk, but at least they do move on).

When it comes to the lack of content, that's due to the lower number of users. It's hard to say if whether it'll get better as it depends on which kinds of content you are looking for.

But if you want more content, try sorting by new. Reddit death content will usually get more upvotes as it relates to more people than any other content, but the "new" sorting should eliminate this bias.

I thought I was in furry_irl. But why not, why wouldn't I upvote a post with cute dogs.

In a nutshell, it's like English's they (plural animate or inanimate), it (for feminine objects, remember that german is a gendered language like french) she, and you (both singular and plural) combined.

Though, Sie meaning "you" is the polite version, used to address someone politely. For informal situations, there's the impolite and always-singular "Du"

While there are different conjugations and capitalization between the different uses of Sie, in the end they all use the same word.

Did you know that in terms of-

To be fair, you can also try to copy paste all important/useful comment and reupload it on Lemmy, idk if that's practical though, since I rarely post on lemmy anyway.

I mean, I see a lot of furries in my local feed, but it doesn't take a sherlock to see why. In all feed though, even with this account, I could hardly see any furry posts, although very occasionally they show up.

Ori and the blind forest, a hat in time, deltarune. It's amazing how good videogame soundtrack can get!

Ich mag eine Pepsi mit Milch (Diese Kommentarsektion ist nun Eigentum der BRD)

Yeah, I post more. Gotta do my part to make this community alive.

Honestly, because of my interest, as you can tell from my instance's name and purpose. It's the first furry instance I see and also the most popular one, that's the initial reason.

Do you come from a land down under? Where women glow and men plunder today is saturday.

Edit: formatting

When you're a swashbuckling pirates in the lawless seven seas, you gotta come up with clever ways to enforce your ship's code of conduct.

I'll try

Also, on every instance, there is a link called 'instance'. It contains information about which lemmy instance is federated and banned by your instance.

Pretty much every instance have defederated from at least one other instance, especially towards instances that hosts illegal images, ones with lackluster moderations, instances that support views they consider dangerous, ones filled with spam bots, and yes, sometimes out of drama or politics.

It's more of a question of which instances they defederated from and why.

It's not so much already on my mind.

I didn't spend too much effort when choosing the name while Playing Stardew; it was the first name that clicked, and never in a million year I'd think to use that name for myself.

But I oversimplified it. Truth is, I also had quite a few other names on my mind when choosing my name specifically, Jasmine's one of them. It took me a week before I settled on Jasmine and even more weeks before I was fully confident it's the right name.

Programmers making a new project be like

You add alt text in the post description, that's it. I don't think lemmy supports proper alt text like mastodon yet, so you have to use the post description.

If you use firefox, you can use extensions to add any lemmy instances as a search engine options. Then, simply add an @ shortcut to the lemmy search engine options, and you'll have the ddg equivalent of bangs in your firefox search bar.

Firefox does allow you to change search engine straight from the search bar by typing @ shortcut. An example of this by default, typing @ddg on firefox makes you search with duckduckgo instead of your default search engine.

Keep in mind that you have to type the shortcut on the searchbar first, before typing anything else.

For now, maybe lemmy will implement alt text someday.

Your community, as in the community you moderates? Yeah it makes sense.

From what I've heard, moderators (and admins probably) can see deleted posts, as this scenario did happen to my post in the communities I moderate. Fortunately, only moderators, admins, or anyone with your posts' link before it was deleted could potentially see your deleted posts.

That's why it's recommended that you edit your post title, description, and url/images to "deleted by creator" or similar when deleting your posts, as moderators can't undo edits.

Not fully on Lemmy. While text posts are cached across all federated instances, medias such as images and videos aren't...

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but media uploaded to a community from another instance is uploaded to the users' instance, not the instance of the community.

This may change in the future, and I hope so.

I think it was used wrong. CMIIW, but you only need to separate clauses with a comma if the subordinate clause comes before the main clause, so this: We squint at the sun, because it's too bright

Should've been this: We squint at the sun because it's too bright

But if the subordinate clause comes before main, then a comma is needed: Because it's too bright, we squint at the sun

However, the above mistake is not a mistake in German and a few other languages. If you translate the above sentence in German, it looks like this: Wir blinzeln in die Sonne, weil sie zu hell ist (yes, i use Google Translate)

Perchance. I can see this post from lemmy for now. But remember, any lemmy back-end updates could potentially break lemmy-kbin interoperability.

Basically phone speakers at home, earbuds while away. As basic as you can get.

Usually the entire soundtrack of the Ori series: Ori and the Blind Forest & Ori and the Will of the Wisps. In particular, my favorites to calm down is "Separated by the Storm" and "Ori, Embracing the Light"
