friend sent this, thought !bunnies might enjoy it
Shot a picture of bunbun looking outside the fence. Looked like one of those shots where a character looks wistfully at something while dreaming of some goal. Or maybe the grass is just greener and tastier on the other side of the fence :P
amusing video, thank you for sharing
Bad camera quality on this one makes the eye look a lot like what you see during a solar eclipse! But hey, at least it's OC and I don't own a fancy camera.
I'm definitely still alive. I appreciate the !bun_alert_system@lemmy.sdf.org and encourage it especially because it's good to have things off of lemmy.world, but I figure I should probably still run this one so there's redundancy in case lemmy.sdf.org goes down. I was considering perhaps seeing if people want to move off lemmy.world to somewhere else…
If only my phone camera's pictures were as sharp as what my eyes saw…
Funnily enough, the buns look like they have googly eyes, especially the right one where it literally looks like I drew googly eyes in MS Paint on the picture.

Now on ani.social with yet another Elevator7009sAlt account. Waiting to add content until .run has been down for a week (just to make sure it is really gone and not something like them getting hacked), and the same for remaking my main account.
Some people get a smartphone instead of a computer, but you are right, I probably should have said "something with internet access."
Sorry. In my experience, lack of sympathy is often paired with animosity and harshness, so I am a little wary. Disagreements in real life are a lot easier because you can tell tone better, and if the person is civilly disagreeing, or if they are going to start getting hostile on you. I'll agree to disagree here.
I do have sympathy, considering a smartphone has become somewhat a necessity and not everyone is aware of options like the FairPhone. I agree about the filter, but it's also true that no matter how much time social media consumes in peoples' life, a lot of people would not want to say "I spend money on social media," to look quite that online, no-life internet obsessed what a loser and all other sorts of insults. And even if they told nobody, they might feel ashamed about it—because oh my god, who pays for social media except a terminally online power-tripping mod lmao. Especially since the norm now is to not pay, and people tend to resist change that incurs any cost on them. Ads and the corporate control thing are probably just a minor annoyance for most people, they personally have not hit their bullshit limit yet, not everyone has the same priorities. I'd like them to have the option of a nice ad-free social media too. If I wasn't around for the Reddit API drama I would not even be aware of the Fediverse and would not be here having this discussion with you. Also, not everyone is in a financial position to donate for social media.
Honestly kind of fearing a negative response because of your statement you have no sympathy for that kind of person—which means you might be more willing to engage in a harsh manner with me too. But I'll take that risk in order to speak up in opposition to the no sympathy viewpoint.
Sorry, I realized my message came off as an attack. Did not mean it that way.
I'll probably not do that because I would much rather support smaller instances and fedia.io is big for Mbin. I'll probably go with you and hope you do not do a debounced. (The only reason I have a .world is because I needed it to effectively mod the preexisting community !bunnies@lemmy.world whose original mod disappeared for about a year before I asked to take over.)
My home instance was kbin.run, and when I found debounced (its admin) was an Mbin maintainer/contributor it made me feel good about the lifespan of the instance. Now I don't feel so good… if they dipped without any warning, so can you.
And they did this a few weeks after they put up a "how is my driving?" check-in post about how users felt about their server running, and I said it was going well… pretty sure I also said something about being grateful they were long-running, and talked on other places on the Fediverse about how reliable kbin.run was… all signs pointed to the instance having longevity.
Wonder if they just got hacked or something, because it really was out of nowhere, with no warning signs like Ernest had.
Kind of upset because I don't mind hopping accounts, but I had a magazine there, !otomegames@kbin.run. I had just started it new a few weeks ago, moving from its longer-lived iteration on kbin.social because I was unaware kbin.social was down. And now if debounced does not come back I'll have to make yet another new version of the community. Does not set a good precedent, "will I have to put up with constant new versions to follow this community?" The most appropriate place would be ani.social but I'd also probably have to make yet another Lemmy alt to mod it properly—things like reports do not seem to federate properly unless your account is on the same instance as the community you mod. And I really do not want to give Lemmy more users at the expense of Mbin. Lemmy is already the big guy, and we want more diversity on the Fediverse. So I can probably just remake it on whatever Mbin instance I end up on.
Super grateful to whoever came up with the trick to hold bottles under hot water if you struggle to open them.
