Eat a diet with hardly any fibre before you go. The last time I was bunged up for 4 days I had eaten a lot of meat and not enough veggies in comparison. It'll either help, or you'll just have a very big poop idk.

I would recommend lessening your fibre as a minimum if you must though!

Welcome aboard!

I might post something about farts then or dustbunnies. JK... too lazy but ha... the malicious complicance reopenings are fun. It gives them a chance to scrape any of the good stuff and put it elsewhere. ;)

Omg, it's GayCookie! I'm so glad to see you here! Welcome!

Phew! I really feel you, things are really starting to heat up now! Heat The fediverse is a lot all at once and I can see a lot of confusion in some of the popular threads on the bigger instances but between all of the confusion is fun and I sense a bit of hope too. It's really lovely to see this. I don't blame you though, heat compounded with exhaustion from work makes it hard to find the inspiration to keep up with things like this.

There's so much potential with your stack of Raspberry PI on the fediverse! I know that Revengeday and felsqualle know a bit about things like this. Whatever you end up tinkering with, I hope it's fun for you! :D

I have this same problem haha. I'm a little bit stretched over the various instances for now. I've only just set up the refold community which is for all languages but it's based off learning things from netflix, youtube, books and games (videogames and boardgames).

I searched up learn spanish and found "learning spanish for deplorable tankies"...yeah... no thanks. I think I may have to set one up afterall!

Also, I'm sorry to hijack your thread /u/DVD! I'll crosspost your community to my language learning community as I know there are some people on my instance who wish to learn German.

Isn't apollo free? Am I missing something here? I have no idea what he's getting at. If a dev is making your service B E T T E R then leave them be or just make a better app! They're bringing people to his site. Apollo should be charging reddit at this rate!

Big clown moves from this fella, he fell out of the goofy tree.

I'm looking for a spanish group too! :D

Added you as mod. <3 You can always look for more mods over time or we can find some suitable folks to help out. It's a great idea!

I felt that too, now there's less pressure for me lol.

I find that I've had more meaningful engagement within decetralised spaces than the centralised ones. Sadly the corpos the type of engagement doesn't seem to matter too much as long as it's engagement on their site and not someone else's. I felt that same pressure to be honest.

You're right about the good use cases, it's nice within the marginalised communities / subreddits but outside of them it's not so great. Sometimes you want to engage in other communities in peace as well so I guess it comes down to moderation but I understand the karma points is a barrier to entry for trolls.

Community level point counts might not be too bad tbh because like you said, it would be a way of stopping people from using other communties that might not have the best intentions to farm karma so they're not in minus numbers. To be honest, a count did span across a site it would be a nice feature to have a breakdown as to what communities that positive and negative karma comes from..

Regarding the online abuse in regards to being trans, same here. I had this problem on twitter GC / TERF pileons so shinigami eyes was quite useful to have. When trolls learn you're trans it's like low hanging fruit to them so I get what you mean with low karma accounts being blocked from engaging in a community

Lemmy is in it's early days so they may actually add an overall count with a similar safety feature in the future or additional safety features for communities to use. If the Lemmy devs don't create something to help with this then it's possible that someone might write a bot to help with moderation as automod and the likes were quite popular on Reddit. I'm speaking from my own experiences here but I find that over time as a mod or admin who is a marginalised person, you tend to become friends with mods and admins from other marginalised communities within the fediverse and get a headsup on who's doing the damage and where before the abuse is aimed at the rest of the community. The fediverse is currently mostly reliant on these teams for user safety so for now, connecting with other communities and talking to each other is one of the best tools we have until more features are developed.

Thank you for your response btw, it has made me think about what Lemmy might need so communities can keep each othe safe. Some Lemmy instances will tolerate abuse like that and leave it upto the mods to govern their own communities but we've never been a fan of anti-LGBTQIA+ hate or TERFs here at DATATERM or any of the other fedi spaces run by @revengeday@revengeday@dataterm.digital .
