I was there when they were invented, they were called mini-bowls. The marketing team didn’t like it, though, so we had to rewrite all the clay tablets with ‘spoons’. Which is a dumb name, for the record.

Mini-bowls, they were initially called

Loneliness and/or a need for validation drives people to crazy things. From joining cults and extremist groups without a pre-existing history of relevant prejudices or preconceptions, to enduring abusive social circles. To, now, falling in love with chatbots.

Just a reminder to everyone that the comm is making the move to !historymemes@piefed.social !

Fuck. I’m tech illiterate, what can I say?

Hey, just letting you know that the comm is moving to !historymemes@piefed.social

Don’t worry, you don’t need to move your Lemmy.world account! The comm is moving, but you can participate as normal with a Lemmy.world account.

Delicious

No worries, just wanted to let you know!

I considered it when I was looking around for Lemmy alternatives, but Piefed felt more intuitive to me.

Hey! Just wanted to let you know that we’re making the move to !historymemes@piefed.social !

Hm. Very curious. I’ll edit it, thanks!

Damn. It works from lemmy.world. Any suggestions for a fix or alternative?

I appreciate the concern, but honestly, I don’t think that there’s going to be any concerted .ml campaign to troll the new or old comm. I mean, I’m not exactly subtle about anti-tankie posting, including anti-tankie history memes here. They dislike me, I dislike them, mostly we stay out of each other’s spaces.

In any case, the door’s always been open for new moderators.

As outlined in the text body, it’s not an issue of .ml’s influence. It’s an issue that continuing to use Lemmy as a platform places users in a position of either hampering the health of the platform (by opposing contributions to the devs) or enabling genocide denial and imperialism apologia (by contributing to the devs).

Ultimately, whether you make the move with us is your choice.

Thank you! Honestly, hearing that people enjoy the memes I post makes my day.

Looks to me like piefed uses mainly python, and lemmy rust. So it would rather be the other way around.

It’s all Greek to me! I am but a lowly humanities major 😭

Anyway, understandable decision. And thanks for your memes!

Of course! I hope you continue to enjoy them! 😊

No, you can also donate money to independent servers like Lemmy.world and support them and the ecosystem without the awful devs.

Supporting the Lemmy.world server doesn’t address the issue of the sustainment and development of the Lemmy codebase, though. Sustaining an individual server and Lemmy development are two different concepts - Lemmy.world is not, to my knowledge, working on an independent fork of Lemmy.

Independently to that, why do you use Piefed and not Kbin?

Kbin went down. It was my initial platform of choice.

I considered Mbin, but I found Piefed to be more intuitive and responsive - at least to my perception as a user after a year of operating on Lemmy.

lol look a history memes mod spouting historically inaccurate fascist and empire propaganda. Now I’ve seen everything!

What?
