Daily Random Thread: Hump Day edition 14 June 2023
(aussie.zone)
Feels kind of weird
But hey
Aww yes! Almost the whole gang here.
My sanemartigan account has been blocked from replying to posts in the daily thread. EDIT: looks like all comments have been shutdown.
oh wow this all feels kind of weird! I feel like i'm in another dimension or something.
Hola Friends,
I am the real MissDarylC but someone is impersonating me??? Hence the extra S.
So happy to see so many familiar faces here.
How odd. Have you checked for carbon monoxide leaks?
I did check, no carbon monoxide leaks that I know of. But hey if I found one, I probably wouldn't remember.
Oi! My first post in here. Was chillin during the 2 day protest only to be back and know that DT is yeeted.
Me too. I mostly lurked and commented and rarely posted. It's a bit of a surprise for me still. Somehow I didn't think they'd yeet the whole sub into oblivion but here we are!
For me it was the speed at which they nuked it and the fact that it was locked from 4pm, felt excessive.
Same! I didn't even get to say goodbye or to thank people for their advice and support over the years, and especially for keeping me informed and sane during 2020. I feel all indignant and sad. It was our sub, dammit!
It was the same for me, I discovered it at 11pm, didn't realise it was locked until I tried posting my goodbye and thank you comment, everyone in that thread kept me sane through 2020 and beyond as well.
We made our unpleasant discovery at the same then. Sigh I'm slowly getting used to this fediverse thingy; I've been tinkering with it for about a week now, never realising what the r/melbourne mods were going to do today. Even in the last week lots of things have changed and developed with Lemmy and the jerboa app. They sort of had to because so many people joined! think it'll keep improving so I'm optimistic about that at least
Me too, I was relieved to find out this exists with so many of the DT here. I haven't attempted to download the app just yet. Lol. Using this on google chrome.
Ditto. Not even going to attempt the app.
Been screenshotting saved posts (much to the cats' chagrin when they wanted cuddles) but enough.
If they're gone in the morning, they're gone.
Night all! szzzz
In a moment of sheer brilliance, I got completely fuddled, thought I created a duplicate account, and accidentally deleted the account I just made, inadvertently locking out the other name for good. Eventually managed to get things together enough, although I ended up with a headache. Not ideal for just getting over being ill, and a different kind of headache.
I now know what it is to be like, to be 97, and not know how to computer. Admittedly, the interface not telling you that there's an issue and just sitting there loading forever did not help any.
Great to see how active we were today.
Uh Hi testing, testing
You don't get rid of me quite that quickly. Heeerrreeee I am again. I like the idea of all of us having the same cake day though. Cake is good. Cake is life.
Yay! I was hoping you’d get here!
Well, well, well. Well. Ok lots of stuff to play with here.
r/DT is going full private after 4pm today. Popcorn moment.
Yeah... I never realised how often I actually used Reddit. I deleted the app from my phone and now I'm using... Instagram! The horror.
I reinstalled Reddit earlier today, and I'm very sad to see the news about the DT. I haven't been there as long as some of you, but I have been around long enough for it to feel like my little internet home. It's very upsetting to see all of the conversations and memories from the sub just gone, potentially forever.
The silver lining, I guess, is that r/Melbourne was almost the only reason I even use reddit, so I guess I can get rid of it now.
I hope everyone will be sticking around, I guess this will be my new home now.
(also, I'm still getting the hang of this fediverse and instance stuff, Baku@aussie.zone is also me, but Jebora doesn't seem to have a way of logging into aussie.zone, so sh.itjust.works is my home instance for now)
Is this where all the cool kids are now?
If we stay, nearly everyone will celebrate cake day on the same day next year.
So there’s that.
No offence to the mods here, but this site would have to get a heck of a lot better for me to not run straight back to Reddit should the ceo pull his head out of his ass. It’s good! It’s just lacking the polish. And an app.
What better time to stop lurking..
Even the serial downvoter here lol
Hol up. I don’t have downvote button here. How you downvoting?
Anyone seen Smeg, ThornburyWitch or Melbaboutown?
I sent smeg a message on deaddit saying AlamutJ missed her.
LMAO just noticed all the downvotes, people have way too much time on their hands.
I know right. I don't get it. What's the point?
