There's this children's show called Jakers which features a subplot about a sheep (voiced by Mel Brooks apparently) that basically tries to convince the other sheep to not be sheep just like in this strip.
I quite liked it. You could recognize users, everyone was generally nice, you could leave for a month without feeling like you missed out, conflict wasn't worth it most of the time so you'd see it to a lesser degree than compared to the conflict generated in just the past week, and the vegan community thrived. I actually started having conversations with some Lemmy users outside of Lemmy!
I remember how exciting it was when federation was enabled and the handful of instances could finally hang out together.
It was quiet and peaceful, but drama would happen once every couple of months that was both entertaining and annoying.
Is it possible to root or install a custom ROM on the Kindles so that you can read PDFs on it without needing to fiddle with Amazon nonsense?
You gotta copy the link to the community then paste it into your instance's (lemmy.world) search bar.
No problem if it was an honest mistake! Since you're already here, though, have you got any quick and easy vegan meals you like to have?
This is a vegan community, so make sure you suggest vegan dishes, not meat.
Throw tofu, green onions, avocado, and bell peppers over white rice and then top it off with very hot chili oil and soy sauce.
Super fast if you have leftover rice and so tasty.
As this is a post on Beehaw, I'm going to abide by the rule and omit any unsavory words I was originally going to include π
Whether intentional or not, the slur filter was one of the most genius things the Lemmy developers have ever done. No one was under any false pretenses that it was the absolute best way of moderating a space. In fact, everyone knew from the get-go that it had its fair share of problems! But it did one thing splendidly: it acted as a barrier against people obsessed with free speech who claim a slur filter is a tool used by some nebulous participants in the current culture war. I'll refer to this comment made by user uabstraction on Hacker News 2 years ago.
Even to this day you see those people using the slur filter as a talking point against the devs, the software, the wider community, etc. even though it hasn't been hard-coded or required for over a year at this point!
Meanwhile, as they continue to avoid Lemmy and prophesize its downfall, the people actually participating on Lemmy are growing a community and just generally vibing! No one is fainting at the thought that they can't say a slur.
Avoiding Hacker News has done wonders for my mental well-being.
Whats stopping someone adding horrific images as a commenter and forcing everyone in the thread to view it?
I agree with you for this exact reason. Lemmy has had its share of trolls in the the past who have abused this feature by posting scat porn in random threads. It makes browsing Lemmy in public scary.
Plus, it makes it easier for people to just spam emotes or GIFs that ultimately lessen the quality of discussions. I've seen many Reddit threads that are just:

What about America Ferrera? She matters as much as Margot Robbie and got an Oscar nomination for her role in the film.
