No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What did the super-mods, that modded the top 50+ default subs, do during the r/pocalypse?English

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What did the super-mods, that modded the top 50+ default subs, do during the r/pocalypse?English
4·3 years agoMaybe another stupid question, but how does someone mod 50+ communities? I imagine a low-traffic sub would be easy, but a high-traffic one is bound to attract lots of a–holes who need comments deleted/banning/reporting, etc.
Is this a 24 hr/day gig? Do these mods have day jobs?
I guess my main questions are how do they do it, and why do they do it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Am I able to personally block .threads on my .world account? I want nothing to do with meta.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•So... are Lemmy users also generally crypto supporters?
4·3 years agoI think in the early days it was because most here were left-leaning or libertarians, but now that the general public is starting to move in, it’s more neutral/slightly negative.
OMG, same here. I got tired of buying a new inkjet every 2 years or so. I bought a Brother laser all-in-one 4 yrs ago and haven’t looked back. My only regret was not spending the extra bucks to get a color model.
Ahh, I get that reference. I fell asleep when I tried to watch the actual movie. Thanks.
I don’t get it, but I’m upvoting.

VLemmy Chat@vlemmy.net•Will this instance be joining the fedipact?English
0·3 years agoI’m perfectly fine with blocking Meta, any megacorp really, but Meta especially. I have relatives who are still unvaccinated and afraid of 5G radio towers because of some nonsense they read on Facebook.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Costco golf simulator $19,999.99English
9·3 years agoI guess I’m just a cynic, but I assumed this was in reference to a politician who recently received a golf simulator from a campaign donor. He didn’t disclose it in accordance with state law concerning gifts over $100, but I’m sure he meant to but forgot.
Or it would just be a random post.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How is it possible that roughly 50% of Americans can’t read above a 6th grade level and how are 21% just flat out illiterate?
132·3 years agoI think these numbers are inflated, but the problem is still pretty bad.
Part of the problem is we have some politicians here that thrive on uneducated voters. Uneducated voters also tend to be more racist, and racists are a really reliable voting block if you speak their language. Also, they tend to believe “news” that corresponds with what they already believe, so social media and telemarketing works really well on them. Abortion and contraception bans increase the number of children born into poverty, who won’t get a decent education and will rely on what they learn from their parents or TV.
So education funding rarely gets increased.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•The impact the reddit migration has on the fediverse!English
4·3 years agoWe’ve got an election coming up in 16 months in the US. So I imagine we’ll see a lot of bots registering soon.
Tenemos una elección en 16 meses en los Estados Unidos. Así que me imagino que veremos muchos bots registrándose pronto.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Is this hindrance for lemmies to post and watch particularly media and embedded videos (I have not yet seen) because of the not enough (storage) capacity of the lemmy instances/servers?English
9·3 years agoI’m new here just like most other folks, but from what I’ve seen so far is: Lemmy is a place to post links to your content, Peertube is the place to post your videos, Pixelfed is the place to post GIFs and short videos. Lemmy can handle picture uploads, but not much more than that right now.
But none of these instances is going to survive if users don’t donate. All those corporate social media sites were free because you weren’t the customer, you were the product.

10·3 years agoWe’ve a got higher share than Win 7 & 8, closing in on OSX. One step at a time.
There’s no hate like Linux on Linux hate.






I was able to do it by right clicking the desktop > Configure Desktop and Wallpaper > Mouse Actions > Add Action and continue from there. This only works when you scroll on the actual desktop background, not over any windows/menus.
