OMG THATS WHAT I WAS REMEMBERING TY

i think my blood sugar was low or sumthin lmao

don’t even need an hour. “herb” has multiple regional pronunciations and so can receive both treatments depending on the context.

also my original comment was just wrong i don’t even know how i got to the point of writing that. “an hour” is the standard treatment of words starting with vowel sounds—the letters themselves don’t matter.

but “h” is treated as a consonant. which it is. duh. i feel so dumb lol.

“a apple” has more flavor to it than “an apple” and i acknowledge how cursed that makes me

no shame in that. it’s rough. fun fact: even the US founding fathers got it wrong

he has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it’s most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither (Thomas Jefferson’s original rough draft of the Declaration of Independence)

later prints corrected this error which happens three times from Jefferson’s hand.

Don’t forget that ‘h’ is an exception and counts as a vowel: “a hat”

edit literally i am wrong about this why did i write that

perhaps because russia initiated a ukranian invasion on february 24 2022.

Any account that spreads lies about allies, empathetic leaders, and people I care about, I will call out. If Drag feels harassed by me straightforwardly repeating the truth from the modlog in relevant contexts, Drag is more than free to block me. Encouraging self-harm in an ableist way was deemed unacceptable by both 196 community mods and Blahaj admins independently. That decision wasn’t about silencing anyone—it was about maintaining a safe space for marginalized people.

once i pointed out that most modern mobile OSes have a native “smart invert” which can make any app dark mode without messing with images and i got called ableist 😭

+1 for wanting rudimentary editing tools in client apps. i don’t need filters or anything fancy but cropping and scaling as features would probably help with platform adoption.

a good selection of these apps don’t. unsure if that’s an intentional choice or not.

valid i think there are some scientifically proven drawbacks both ways also dark mode is worse if u have astigmatism

i genuinely have no desire to stir beef but i have never heard a single positive thing from or about the guy 😭 i hope i can be shown wrong

oops! i absolutely read and appreciated your comment before commenting but maybe i didn’t make it clear that i don’t have any ill will toward you at all and just wanted to loop you in. i do apologize if me ccing you caused any sense of abrasion—wasn’t intentional at all if so!

just making sure that history doesn’t get rewritten :)

For the record the user was also disabled and their disability played directly into drag’s heinous encouragement. This ableist violent rhetoric was deemed inappropriate both by 196 community mods and Blahaj admins for different yet related reasons. That behavior was violent, triggering, and absolutely unacceptable for any instance and community that values minority or oppressed groups even a little.

This is following the user’s real history of similar suicide encouragement in other communities.

cc @9bananas@lemmy.world because I am just sick of this user getting to spread lies and twisted truths about a community whose mods’ only sin is having basic empathy.

I couldn’t find anything :( oddly, fediverse.observer actually was logging data before that time but it’s only accessible to me via wayback: https://web.archive.org/web/20241010192709/https://pixelfed.fediverse.observer/dailystats

@diasporg@mas.to any reason fediverse.observer is limited to only a few months? (no clue if this cross-platform ping will work but giving it a shot)

I feel insane that no one has commented this yet??? The data clearly only starts in November. At minimum this is our second plateau and I seem to recall more that have happened lmao.

Sounds like there should be a page for sportsbots then. Mirroring “hundreds to low thousands” of accounts to Lemmy just sounds insane and poorly curated.

No. Account mirroring and bot posts go against the essential nature of social threaded link aggregation. I see sportsbots is already a Mastodon project which makes much more sense because microblogging has a follow-the-user rather than a follow-the-community model. Lemmy is follow-the-community. If there is interest in this content, users will create a Lemmy community and post content there. Maybe they will even link to the sportsbots mirror. But don’t just set up a script to do it for you, that’s just something people are going to block.
