Yeah, that's what I visualise when I read the word lemmy.

Someone was wondering what to call users of Lemmy. Maybe motorheads?

Wimmy wham wham wozzle!

I'm not really one who has the inclination to moderate, but I might consider setting up the Lemmy equivalent of r/the_wire if one doesn't come up in the next few weeks.

My manwich!

Surely raisin?

There are issues with both sides of the down button debate, but I'm more for it than against.

For a different take on the downvote button, yesterday I put a post up on a technical thread. I hadn't really read properly what the discussion was about, so my post wasn't really helpful even if well intentioned. I only noticed when I got a couple of downvotes. I looked again at my post, then at the OP, then realised my error. Eventually I deleted my post. So, in that instance, I found the downvote helpful to myself as well as for the rest of the thread: make sure I read the OP carefully. ;-)

Welcome to the world of tomorrow!

I've signed in a few times to lemmy.world using Firefox over the last week.

Sorry for being the annoying "not for me" guy. ;-)

All my cars, bar one, have been manual transmission, as is my current one. To be honest, as I'm lazy, I do prefer auto, but it's easier to buy a car with manual transmission here in the UK, as you have more options.

Yes, sorry that I did that.

Nice community. I'm currently going through a rewatch of Futurama, so this place should suit my needs.

There are plenty of other instances to join if you don't like the .ml servers' opinions. From what I can see, all tastes are catered for. Just find another server.

And, no, I'm not affiliated with the .ml instances nor am I a so-called Tankie.

For a moment there, I thought your second sentence was going to be confessing that you were also a landlord.

From the UK.

Can be a bit hit and miss, but it's worth a read for socialists: https://www.thecanary.co/

Might be considered Stalinist by some, but it often does have some interesting articles from from various strands of leftists: https://www.morningstaronline.co.uk/

Thanks for being both informative and open about this issue. Hope it works out.

Edit: The first two versions of this post didn't seem to send: spinning post button. Maybe it's not fixed or it's struggling?

Yeah, true. Fair point.

Maybe some manwiches.

As for what the contents could be, maybe first come first served.

Thanks for being both informative and open about this issue. Hope it works out.

Yeah, I've noticed that. I'll probably notice it again once I hit reply for this post. ;-)

Your test was successful.

Probably Professor Farnsworth. Each of his lines raises a laugh or a smile. Also, he invented the finglonger. I mean, where would we be without that? The Dark Ages, I tells yer.

Honourable mention to Dr Zoidberg. But seeing as he's Dr Zoidberg, he can't come top, so there!

There is Jerboa for Lemmy if you want to use an app.
