The way I phrase things
Apparently not
And my point is that you don't know how dangerous a concussion is going to be without monitoring which is why every concussion needs to be taken seriously!
Yes, which is why any such injury must be taken seriously (and most medics do so), which is my point.
I love enlightening people about their potential ND like that. So many people are struggling because they feel they are inadequate or flawed, when they're just divergent from the norm and struggling to follow the norm.
While true, Hollywood has done almost irreparable damage to this effect, so maybe some extra scare won't be too bad.
I agree it's not one step before death, but as you elaborated, what it effectively is, is brain damage, which is always something that needs to be taken seriously. I.e. if someone is knocked-out, it's not something that can be ignored as in "ha ha, they'll be ok in a couple of minutes"
At least you can do that on reddit.
You literally can't. People have deleted their whole comment histories and have them restored by reddit admins.
There's plenty of instances that block the 2 tankie instances and even .ml. This is a self-inflicted problem.
Met a guy at the local boardgame event. Got to talking about how he was always driven out of gaming groups and nobody invites him anymore and a lot more of "oh woe is me" stuff. I recognized a bit of my younger self in him and how used the same schtick to get sympathy and social interaction before I learned how toxic this behaviour is. I wanted to try and mentor him out of this self-defeating behaviour so I invited him to my place.
When he came in treated my family like a complete asshole. Couldn't make them suffer for one dude.
This is completely unsurprising tbh. A lot of the old mods were enthusiasts who grew a community from scratch due to their love for the subject. In the reddit API shutdown, a lot of those mods left in disgust, or were replaced by the reddit admins, or were driven off by the leftover toxic userbase calling them "entitled jannies" or whatever. A lot of the mods who took over their place were just power-hungry users who were chomping at the bit to get the chance to run a big community as their personal fiefdom because they were too toxic to grow one themselves.
This is the inevitable culmination of these events.
Anyway, welcome to lemmy. We become more powerful from every user who writes off reddit forever.
PS: if you see power-trippin' behaviour around these parts, you can always post about it in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Hexbear admins decide to shut down two communities. All hell breaks loose.
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Yesterday, an unexpected admin post was made announcing that hexbear would be shutting down and recreating two of their most popular communities (a): the_dunk_tank and dredge_tank. For those who are not aware, those two are some of the most notorious comms in the threadiverse which routinely cause inter-lemmy drama (disclaimer, the deteriorating relations between our instance and hexbear and my own ban from hexbear was ultimately triggered by various posts in the_dunk_tank)
The stated reason was to promote more thoughtful discussions and to prevent a white cishet mindset which was apparently promoted by the content in those comms, according to the mods and admins.
Within a day 1.3 thousand comments were made with hexbear regulars upset at this decision and discussing within.
However, before this announcement, the top admin of hexbear posted in the cross-lemmy admin matrix chat urging other admins to close down their "drama communities" as well.
Hexbears caught wind of this and quickly accused the admin of duplicity, and having other motives instead of their stated ones. The admin in question as defense admitted that it was their attempt to manipulate other lemmy instance admins and it backfired on them
After a whole day of this, the main admin decided to step away from hexbear (a) , followed by more resignations (a)
In the midst of this, people realize another old-mod had recently come back after a 3-year hiatus, and now people start suspecting some correlation. That mod makes a public post (a) before shortly after deleting their account.
There's also smaller pieces of chaos ongoing, such as one admin, banning one of their alts "as a bit" using wording that they were not aware is misgendering ("fella") which caused other hexbears to pile on. Eventually that was resolved, and admins are asked to tone down the "bit doing" during this heated period.
This "struggle session" is still ongoing, with people are asking the resigned mod to come back , and other admins unbanning accounts which were getting banned left and right(a) but it seems those popular comms still remain shut down.

Upgraded to lemmy 0.19.6 and the return of Tesseract
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
As mentioned earlier, I have now finished upgrading lemmy to 0.19.6 which should bring massive improvements to federations speeds and a ton of other stuff. So many thanks to all the developers who made this happen! I love FOSS!
Fortunately the upgrade took less than 10 minutes and everything appears to have gone quite smoothly.
A little while ago, I disabled mlmym as it was not working and someone in the comments suggested I re-add tesseract, as it's still under active development and compatible with the lemmy API. I had initially removed it at the suggestion of its core developer, but since it's still working, why not, eh?
So you can once again use https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/ to browser using the tesseract frontend. Let us know how it goes
Finally, if you appreciate this instance, please consider donating to its running costs. We're only at ~35% for covering our bi-yearly budget so we could use the support.

I fully expect companies would switch to releasing some bullshit and call the DLC released.
