What is *arrs?

Happy lemmy anniversary, we’re glad you’re here! 😊❤️

What is Usenet? (Obviously don’t feel obligated to answer)

Christ, I’m gonna stop reading now. I will say, the liberal use of the term fascist and the readiness with which my fellow left leaning folks label anyone who doesn’t agree with them a fascist is, to be entirely honest, outright dangerous.

People pass the term out like the right uses “woke”, only difference is fascist is actually a really fucking important term for discussing the dysfunction of the world we live in right now.

Not everyone who disagrees with you is a fascist. You’re entitled to thinking whoever you want is wrong, you don’t have to compare them to people who systematically murdered every minority they could find until the death toll was in the millions to substantiate your dislike.

You’re allowed to just say “that line of argument is gross” or “dangerous” or “wrong” without hyperbole that waters down one of the most important political terms of our lifetimes

I’m so tired man.

Gotcha, thank you

What is hetzner…? I had a hard time following the linked context 😅

Congrats, and thank you for all you’re doing to make this space we share better! ❤️

I’ve not heard anyone call them munis, that’s fun! I’ve been calling them comms :)

Now that’s what you call a lore-callback >.>

Thunder is my preferred client, with jerboa being second

Honestly thunder is perfect aside from being a tad slow to load sometimes. And it seems to have a little more tendency to experience network issues, but the UI is everything I could ask for

Jerboa might be my favorite if it showed full size link previews since I usually engage visually before I engage with text

Thats a real shame. Thank you for filling me in :)

Aw thats a shame, what happened to the instance? They just can’t afford to maintain it?

Which instances are these?

I think I can gather from comments that one is autism.place, what’s the other one?

Thanks for the chuckle :)

Thank you, that seems like the most helpful answer, I’m excited to read about it when I get a moment!

Hope you have a lovely day friend :)

I meant in the center. Another person replied with a potential answer

What is the symbol in the back, behind the person?

Did something new happen with bluesky? Or is this just joking about the continued state of things?

This makes my heart so happy ❤️

Your choice to engage with the folks around you sincerely, and in good faith is appreciated ❤️

Because the Fediverse is so small, we all have a larger impact on the culture of this space, and I appreciate the impact you’re having.
