When I was using Mastodon, the local timeline was almost exclusively what I was paying attention to. It was a really nice small community of people.

Oh definitely! They didn't really have any direction for story early on, but with Mahjarrat storylines that began to change. Then they began to weave all the different stories together into a coherent world with surprising success.

I'd say in 2011-2013 the story really started to kick off. Gods for example were turned from simple good-evil entities into actually interesting characters representing different ideologies and philosophies.

Unlike some other MMOs, RS doesn't have voice acting (for the most part), which allows them to write a lot more dialogue. For example Azzanadra's Quest alone has ~25 000 words of dialogue. You can probably imagine how much lore a 20-year-old game like that can contain!

This was one of those rare times when a meme full of text was actually enjoyable!

Probably belongs to the Long Long Man.

My cats are always sleepy. Except when I'm sleeping, that's the time for a race around the house.

That's... actually quite interesting. I wonder how true the part about projecting current emotions on it is. I never see it as anything, but an emotionless face.

I think it's worth mentioning the amount of instances full of bots as well. I just started hosting my own instance and decided to check other instances' block lists to defederate from at least some bot instances. I now have about 50 blocked instances. (instances with 60k or so users each with no posts)

I'd say what's intuitive is very subjective. Most of a language tends to be intuitive to its native speakers, no matter how unintuitive it seems to someone else.

To me the intuitive genderless option for "he/she" would be "it". Coming from Finnish, it seems much more natural to have "it" include people instead of using "they" for both singular and plural. Or if using "they", it would feel intuitive to say "they is" instead of "they are".

I'm aware it's a thing and not really a plural. What I was trying to say is that it looks plural and since I didn't learn about this part of English until several years into my studies as a kid, it isn't as well established in my mind as "you are" is (that also looks like a plural, but I'm used to it).

"They are" for a single person catches my mental error filter the same way as "I are" or "you is" would, which is highly annoying.

but it's Monday... and I'm not quite sure what conclusion to draw from that.

I'm still waiting for the promised new can that isn't impossible to recycle...

Thanks for the tip! I thought something like this probably exists, but didn't have energy to look it up after the installation fatigue. I'm not quite yet decided whether I want to add communities manually or automate it, I'll probably first see whether I'll add a couple of friends to the instance or not, and what they might think.

Even if I don't add anyone to the instance, using All as a type of custom feed would be an option too, adding communities more liberally than I would for Subscribed... Perhaps the way Lemmy does this isn't as bad as I first thought!
