These Russian characters sure are dramatic. When this is all over I hope we get some good documentaries and movies about this whole special military operation fiasco.

This place is a far worse echo chamber than Reddit, and mods fall right in line. I've seen too many posts get downvoted to hell for simple opinions, and other 'dissenters' get posts removed that should have just been part of open discussions.

I've said this before, even in a lighter tone, and those posts mysteriously disappeared. I'm betting this one will be removed too.

From what I remember, there's a very heavy emphasis on engineering in Russia, and they produce more engineers than any other country. They may have some brain drain, but plenty to spare.

I'm on the fence about sticking around. I don't see myself going back to Reddit, so I'll probably just leave and be productive.

There's a secret to liking olives. You have to keep eating them until you pass the gross-bliss barrier. I used to hate olives, but now they're like crack to me.

Depends on the resting state of the LCD.

It seems Lemmy is as much of an echo chamber as anywhere else. Even when I agree with the hive I like to read differing viewpoints, but there's no easy way to sort through them here. We can't be well-rounded when all we see are the same opinions endlessly reinforced in discussions.

Would a smaller instance not be more likely to have weaker support, or more prone to shutting down and taking you with it?

I recently discovered this app, and am thoroughly impressed by it. Basically, you collect and curate recipes with it. It removes all the nonsense fluff, life stories, and ads from recipe pages, and saves only the recipe, ingredients, and directions.

Quit acting like the average Redditor, and just be civil and disagree.

I would agree if we were talking about another centralized social media site, bit I'm here to escape the interface of sites like Facebook.
