I could, but the community is pretty good for the most part. I’ve only had the one issue with the mod, and I plan on starting a conversation post to try and have the community weigh in on what they think the rules should be going forward.

Sorry, was trying, and failing, to be clever. Was referring to Reddit.
I love the goal this port is trying to achieve, and I try not to be negative about content. But lately I’ve seen the kind of gate keeping that is souring people on that other site.
I’ve had 2 fairly recent examples of it. In one case, the community pushed back on the poster for being an ass. They repeatedly doubled down, and were repeatedly called out for it. It was good to see.
The second was a mod applying a definition to a community that doesn’t exist in its stated rules. I haven’t finished with that one yet, but depending on how my response plays out, I’ll be done with that community, and I’ll just go back to that other site. The particular community is excellent both here and in R-world, so I won’t miss much by saying goodbye to it on Lemmy. I’ll be sad, though.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a better way to say "possibly possible" or "necessarily necessary"?English
1·23 days agoWhether it’s possible today, tomorrow, next week, or next year, “possible” means “possible.” It doesn’t mean likely or unlikely. It’s intentionally vague. Whether it “will be” or “would be” possible is equally vague. You’re splitting hairs.

11·24 days agoI think it is redundant. The word “possible” is already vague. Adding “possibly” just adds vagueness to something that’s already vague. Another way to look at it:
“It’s possible.” == It can happen. Doesn’t necessarily mean it will, just that is could/can.
“It’s possibly possible.” == means the same thing.

5·4 months agoExactly. Humans are wasteful and expensive. One day, capitalists will realize if they don’t hire any humans, nobody but the capitalists will have money to buy anything.

“Throwing away any chance of?” Yes.


That’s part of the natural progression. Can’t remember if that comes before or after “history | grew command.”
