I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.

Ask me anything.

Special skills include: Knowing all the “na na na nah nah nah na” parts of the Three’s Company theme.

I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

  • Maybe dubvee? That’s kind of the exact vibe we’re fostering.

    Site info: https://dubvee.org/site

    I’m looking for a instance with…

    • the fewest trolls (they’re site-banned upon discovery)
    • [the fewest] bots (see rule 2: “No fscking bots”). Some bots are allowed, but only ones that are just a human queuing up things to post on a schedule.
    • and anyone that likes to take things to the extremes (See Rule 8)

    Cons are that a lot of accounts are banned (rule 8) and we don’t federate with some instances: .ml, grad, hexbear, lemdroid (too much spam originates there). We’re kind-of the opposite of lemm.ee in a lot of ways, so it might be a bit jarring if that’s where you’re coming from.















  • I didn’t say I had a problem with any of that. But spinning up a burner, posting, and deleting everything afterward takes other people’s conversations with it (and those don’t currently come up in search results because the post is deleted). Granted that’s a platform limitation, but it is what it is. Posting from various alts but leaving things intact…go for it.

    Imagine being a legit new user and being shunned because your account is not 30 days old.

    That’s part of my complaint against the ones doing that “hit it and quit it” bullshit; it makes people wary of interacting with new accounts.




  • Often, they just spin up a disposable account, post, and delete the whole account w/content after they’re done. It’s annoying AF and incredibly selfish. For a while, it was the same person doing it, though not sure if that’s still the case.

    Regardless, those people have ruined things for everyone (especially legit new users) and I will not engage with accounts newer than 30 days. Lemm.ee evacuation notwithstanding, I kinda wish other people took a similar stance and maybe these people will knock that off.
