I did consider it, but most of my posts are in a private sub anyway. I guess I’m holding on to the slim hope that one day spez will feck off and someone sane will be put in charge. I do miss that sub, a lot of cool people there. Unfortunately I don’t think a single one signed up to lemmy, but I tried.

Hang on, I think I get joke!

Hello there!

I haven’t logged into my spezzit account either, but I did have to click on a search result that seemed to have the answer to what size screw the cooler master q300l case uses. Except no one had answered, so I compromised my principles for nothing.

Same. I stopped visiting after the boycott started. A couple of days before rif went down, I popped back in to say bye to my friends on there and that was it.

This is hilarious! The mods are being compensated for their time with shiny gold stars!

This would be fine for small independent forums that don’t really make a profit, but for spezzit? More fool them.

Wow. Some people are just entitled little douches.

On the flipside, I once had a customer bang on the door one minute before closing, hold up his phone and say, “Your website says you’re still open.”

Damn straight, he was.

I tried sending on a fake virus I coded myself in pascal to a teacher I hated in 2000. I don’t know if she opened it, but she did get demoted from head of science.

You could look into: companion planting (some plants help or hinder others. Eg, basil and tomato are good friends); no-dig gardening (alongside having a good soil microbiome); green manure; sacrificial crops to lure pests away from your main crops; aspect and soil type.

Higher potassium and phosphates increase flower and fruit growth. Higher nitrogen increases leafy growth.

Don’t grow the same type of plant in the same patch every year.

Here’s a website with a picture of a banana with seeds

Yoofo :(

Wait till you discover the wonderful world of the pitch accent!

Oh I see, thanks! But then why am I able to see certain comment replies only via my inbox but not when I view the actual thread? There are so many comments that aren’t visible to me when logged in. I think this is the kind of thing that puts people off lemmy.

Why does logging in hide so much from me? As for spreading the word, I’ve had no luck getting my old reddit friends over. It’s too much trouble for them. Most people will put up with a ridiculous amount of BS.

I’m on a small instance and a large proportion of the lemmyverse is behind a fog of war. I can see some replies to my comments in my inbox, but not when I open the post. Also I’m seeing comms say they have xyz subscribers but I only see 2. Some comms I see no comments but my own. What I see logged in isn’t what I see logged out. Small instances have their drawbacks too. I’m still happy here though.

(I agree with you on the rest though. That’s my life goal.)

I don’t get a single ad when I browse YouTube via Opera, both on android and desktop. No addons needed.

No, because they went blind from the diabetes.

Yeah the infamous block editor. As an old skool hand-coder, I can’t stand it. You have to manually enable classic editing each time on WordPress.com otherwise it defaults to the Gutenberg editor. I heard it’s improved somewhat recently, but when I first used it it was the biggest load of crap, worse than the beep beep boop one, which was at least useable. It was both dumbed down and unintuitive at the same time.

At least on a .org installation, classic editor disables Gutenberg completely.

I do that. I have WordPress.org with classic editor enabled and the raw html plugin. Use a classic layout like twenty twelve if you don’t want the fancy effects. Look for a host that has softaculous or something similar to automate the installation. My host charges about £60 pa with unlimited bandwidth.

You can also use WordPress.com for free but it has Gutenberg, which I absolutely cannot bear. Some people like it though. It’s also less customisable.
