My instance requires that users say a little about why they want to join. Works just fine.
If someone isn’t willing to introduce themselves, why would they even want to register? If they just want to lurk, they can do so anonymously.
EDIT I just noticed we’re from the same instance lol, so you definitely know what I’m talking about 😆
I think you’d work your way in naturally, same as any community throughout all of history.
I suppose an outsider might not be able to tell a web of trust that’s only bots trusting eachother, so you still have to think critically about what you read
This folk doesn’t even grample lmao but seriously amp me on stunkyr
I’m just shocked that there are marketing departments that actually know what they’re doing. Granted I haven’t worked for any huge companies, so that’s probably why I have difficulty picturing it.
They’re also different colours and one is fuzzy like a tennis ball; but I think we’re getting off the point now
Muh muh muh meowsie meow, that’s a meowiemeow muh muh muh meow meow meow oooo tries to pick up cat and immediately puts back down after getting that warning look
I just don’t have time to invest in learning a new operating system.
That’s fair. I got turned on to Linux in college so this is how I feel when confronted with Windows or Mac devices. I just get so frustrated every time I try, and it doesn’t seem like the end result is worth it if I can just stick with what works and not have to worry about some random update radically and inexorably altering how my computer works.
I even got an email out of nowhere right in my inbox from Dell the same day I was talking about Dell laptops with my book club. I would be so shocked if these examples are mere coincidence
Having worked on the tech side of email marketing campaigns I would actually be impressed
Literally stealing Christmas. I couldn’t live with myself.
Hmm, noted!
Just changing the word"evades" to “deflects” would have made all the difference in the world.
Not a Kamala fan, but her response seemed totally appropriate.
Reading this in John Noble’s mellifluous voice 😌
No but you should acquire a friend or two so you can check in on eachother periodically. Yeah I’m a loner too and I know it’s a bother, but just do it. The benefits are many and well documented.
It’s just being pragmatic. I have a pact with a friend that we’ll adopt the others’ dog if something happens to us
I don’t think being a sociopath is illegal?
I get the feeling that lawyers do a lot more for rich people than they do for us…
His family’s darkest hour is my family’s wildest, most impossible dream.
Actually I don’t know many people who actually dream of that kind of wealth - just enough stability and security to be able to live modestly from a life of labour and in to retirement.
Check out the refurb/used market!
Fair. That’s usually the only reason I get excited for something new, because then it means the current whatever is taking to get sold off super cheap
Like a storytelling writer? That’s a pretty valuable set of skills
As a forum user I agree, but would like to add that many forums do have a kind of “demerit point” system for incivility. Where racking up enough points gets you temporarily muted or banned.
