Hello c/NSQ! As you may have noticed from the fancy “A” next to his name on his posts around Lemmy, our fearless leader AvaddonLFC is now an Administrator, which means he can no longer be part of our moderation team. I have agreed to take over his communities because I believe in what we’ve all been building together as a group. There will be no changes to the current rules or moderators, though you may see some new faces that were already chosen to join the team.

If you have any feedback on our rules or just want to tell us how much you’ll miss AvaddonLFC, this is the place to do it. (Don’t worry, I can take it!)

I am grateful to AvaddonnLFC for building this community and inviting me to join him as a moderator, and to my fellow mods (and hopefully the community) for sticking with me through this change!

For instance, let's say there's a troll who is infamous online to the point multiple people are chronicling the troll's numerous antics.

The troll in question lies about everything about themselves. Their name is an alias, they admitted to using an AI generated voice while trying to get away with passing it off as their own. They steal women's selfies to pretend to be another person. This is just a few examples, but this troll has gotten posts exposing them taken down because the posts reveal personal information, but if the personal information is fake to begin with, is that against the rules on most sites?

Edit: assuming all the info came from the troll's posts, that is publicly available.

Is it still possible to interact with the communities (post, vote, etc.)? If yes, is it still possible to delete them if the ownership of the community (aka the top mod) belongs to an user from another instance?

I traded in my car over a month ago to a dealership and just got a violation notice in the mail for someone driving on a toll road a mountain over from me. I knew I wasn’t tripping and checked an app that tracks all my driving in my new car and I was actually no where near my own house or near this toll road when this happened. I hate toll roads and would never voluntarily drive on one.

Anyway, I called the toll road place up and was surprised when she said that the car was my old car, not the newer car I just got. The license plate listed on the violation was not the same license plate I had when I had that car. I was thinking this license plate was for my newer car, its temporary license plate, but even that didn’t make sense because I got my permanent plates pretty quickly and put them on ASAP.

The toll road wants me to email them with some information about myself and saying I no longer own the car. But honestly, I don’t know where this stuff is like the bill of sale or release for my old car. Maybe it’s in my paperwork from the dealership? Maybe not. I don’t know, but it’s crazy I need to go get this information because of something someone else did after I let go of the car.

So what would happen if I just ignore this and move on with my life? The violation notice says there will be a lean on the vehicle if I don’t respond by March 2025, but, again, not my vehicle.

Can anything happen to me? I’m also not feeling this because I don’t like that a company is requesting me to send information about myself to them for something I have no knowledge about. How do I even know this is legit and not a scammer posing as the toll road?!

I'm on the market for pantyhose but everything I've found is high rise and covers your belly completely, usually higher than your navel.

I cannot phantom how that can be comfortable to wear, doesn't it hurt? But if high rise pantyhose are the standard it means people actually want them.

When I was deciding what sport leggings to buy I tried high rise leggings on once and decided against: it's simply too much fabric, it's not comfortable and I only need a mid rise legging to cover up to my waist, not all the way over my navel. Same should apply to pantyhose.

After visiting several stores I found a French brand (DIM) that sells one model of low rise pantyhose. However, I've not found a single online review of this product and I want to see what others think before I buy.

If you wear (high rise) pantyhose, is it comfortable? Does it hurt?

Do you know what brands offer low rise pantyhose?

Can you think of any reason why buying low rise pantyhose would be a bad idea?

I'll go

  1. I'm not alone.
  2. Trump:

Declares martial law

Or

Has defied court orders

Or

Has committed violence against government officials

Or

Dissolved all other branches of government

There is probably more but these are ones that come to mind.

Edit:

Deleted my responses. I asked for honest opinions. I'm not here to call balls and strikes.

I began to consider this as my mouth filled with the flavor of pineapple as I remembered the flavor of a pineapple.

Do other senses suffer from the same issue?

In my area/city/country, there are people who want to buy "empty small land" (categorized as agricultural). They buy this type of land mostly as a hobby farming thing.

Empty land looks ugly to me. I think land that has some nice trees looks better. Therefore it must have more value. Maybe it would increase the sales price by 50%. Any ideas? Anyone knows? I don't know.

My area is DRY: https://i.postimg.cc/DzFFDSPc/image.png

Prices in green areas of the country are way higher. Like 200%+. Though I didn't look at all areas.

This country is MOSTLY dry. Cities are MOSTLY concrete jungle and ugly.

Is there a feature on lemmy where I can automatically filter posts that contain certain keywords, similar to that on Mastodon? On Mastodon I have set a muted words filter that will catch and hide all Mastodon news and politics posts that contain Trump or Elon related keywords.

Unlike reddit, where it's large size allows me to follow specific communities, I generally use the home page on lemmy to browse new content.

I abandoned reddit back in June 2023 and have been lurking on lemmy since that time, but recently I created an account so I could mute and filter out all the Trump and Elon content clogging the feeds. I have blocked the vast majority of all communities that have to do with news, world news, or politics, but there are still posts to do with Trump and Elon still appearing in the home page from time to time. I would love for a way to hide the remaining posts from appearing in the feed on lemmy.

i love her so much, she snores a little bit. 😭 it sounds like a heavy breathing sound but also snoring kinda.

she looks so peaceful and she puts her arm around me as she sleeps. i swear she’s literally sleeping beauty.

(no clue why she’d put my arm around my goofy ass)

It seems that the LGBT ones we got are for news and I don’t want to post random stuff about for example, my boyfriend, on a news community.

My 14-year-old sister Lena has made a friend who is constantly picking on Lena for the slightest things, calling her weird, screaming at her in social situations and in athletics, saying she is useless, etc. [my sister has mobility issues and asthma as well]

Fortunately, Lena told me that she and another friend of hers stopped hanging out with the friend but the teachers still want her paired up with this girl? (No one else will hang out with Lena’s friend because her friend group is preppy and very cliquey)

The friend is also doing the classic “You can’t be friends with those girls and leave me, they don’t like you/understand you like I do. I’m the only one who will accept you.”

Yeah, I don’t really know how to help as I don’t go to her school and I’m obviously several years older than her

I don’t mean morally wrong, I know that sexuality is a spectrum, that everyone is different, and I shouldn’t let anyone tell me how to describe myself, I mean wrong terminology.

Like how a man who’s attracted to other men wouldn’t call himself straight for example.

I’m certainly not straight, even if there’s one woman I’ve ever liked and the rest were men, I still liked a girl.

I would definitely date regardless of gender but only one women has really been attractive to me. Although I’d date and love regardless, other genders don’t really give me the spark men do.

If I dated a man who transitioned to nonbinary or transfem, I would still love them regardless and wouldn’t lose my interest in him.

I consider myself attracted to women maybe ~5% of the time, 95% other genders (most of the 95% is male but IDK the exact percentage on that part)

Would omni/bi be a better description?

Are dictionaries included in software (e.g. keyboard typing/autocorrect) known to include names of mythological figures, if so how many and from what pantheons?

License to fish? License to... RIDE A BIKE? License to... HAVE A DOG/CAT? License to USE A RADIO? (I'm talking about GMRS, AFIAK emergency services do not use GMRS frequencies)

Why is everything a license?

What next? License to exist?

Someday they are gonna require a license to get your own water, or filter your own air (due to pollution).

Are they worth investing in? I found out about them after watching the movie Homestead the other day, terrible movie btw don't watch it unless you want to get bombarded with weird Christian shit. I went and talked to a guy who owns a gold coin store about them and he said they're not worth it. I'm inclined to agree but want more knowledge from people who may know more than he does because he seems like the kind of guy set in his ways.

Just found out soap is alkaline. If you run out of antacids and your acid reflux is really bad, can you eat soap to settle your tummy? This post inspired by eating chalk for acid reflux.

is it because of the “pick me, choose me, love me” thing or does she actually behave like a pick me?

Maybe even auto laser-turrets for more epic-ness?

Since we have such a shitshow of a US government, can someone tell the new FAA person to add turrets to planes? Ya know, 'Murica 2nd Amendment and all... 👀

Surely, nothing will ever go wrong with this? Right?
