I use Mbin. Used to be on kbin.social, then switched to an Mbin instance when that went under (after trying out both Lemmy and Piefed).

Mbin is a more open alternative to Lemmy which has dedicated support for microblog posts as well, including features like boosting (retweeting) and following. Unlike Lemmy’s focus on the threadiverse only.

I don’t use Lemmy, what’s the issue with search on it? I don’t see any obvious issues with the one on your instance at a glance.

My preference for dark modes is more about design choices than the actual dark/light divide.

Light modes tend to have way less separation between UI elements, with borders and differences in background colors barely visible. It results in them blending together and making it harder to identify different parts of the website than on dark mode. They’re also much more likely to use actual white backgrounds, when dark modes usually use anything other than actual black. I really hate both white and black used as backgrounds, they’re both bad imo.

I do use light modes on websites where it actually looks better than the dark mode design. But sadly those are too rare.

Huh, interesting.

I’m using Mbin and we don’t need it, I just assumed Lemmy was the same.

I never used websites like Twitter and Facebook either. Sure I have looked into stuff like Mastodon, Friendica, Misskey, etc. But you’re never going to get me to actually use them, they’re not the kind of social media I’m interested in.

When it comes to the threadiverse, I actually use Mbin, not Lemmy. I did try both Lemmy and Piefed, but Mbin fits my tastes as an Old Reddit user best out of the three.

Does Lemmy need the double space? This isn’t Reddit after all, and it’s the only Markdown implementation I’ve seen with that requirement for line breaks.

I didn’t. My country focuses more on apprenticeships than higher education, and I wasn’t the type to be really ambitious. So I never really explored my options and just went with the flow.

I’m not on Lemmy, but I have the “Active” sort set as my default.

Once upon a long time ago, some old man gave a monkey an apple and then love happened and they leveled up into humans. May have been 100 or 200 or more years ago I don’t do historian.

“Now, the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, which is both beautifully and aptly named after a president who ended eight wars in less than a year, will stand as a powerful reminder of what strong leadership can accomplish for global stability,” she said.

? What 8 wars does he think the ended? Are there even 8 he got involved in at all?

Just because an authoritarian has the power to act “quickly”, you think that they will always act in the right way to handle a crisis?

Where did I say that? I never made that claim. I even included the “theoretically” to acknowledge that they don’t actually do that.

Of course most of them are evil, and even those that aren’t, don’t have the best ideas. But this is about what the system enables, not how it is actually used.

authoritarianism … considered the most effective form of governance in difficult times for a country …

That is the case though. Talking to people takes time, the less people the faster you can respond to difficulty. An autocrat can just take any radical action necessary to deal with a crisis on a whim, theoretically.

I understand the problem with Russia saying this, and I don’t see why it should be in a dictionary. But it’s absolutely not false.

Upvoted you for disclosing the use of AI, while providing new information no one else in the thread has been able to provide without AI. Due to disclosing it, anyone who doesn’t want AI can skip the comment, but anyone who’d be glad for the information can still get it. It also makes it clear that this is of questionable reliability, which is good enough in this context, but one shouldn’t use this as a source when doing their own medical examinations.
