I put on my robe and wizard hat.
(I am in the UK and make TTRPGs. He/Him.)
“But -”
Doot
My cat will only eat from a bowl when there is Amethyst and Rose Quartz crystals arranged to promote calmness, love, and emotional healing. It is literally science.
My cat only eats out of wide bowls for this reason!
She has wet food too, not all dry :)
Liftoff is awesome (after cycling through quite a few)!
I did this too, everything had feet by the time I finished. Everything.
Everything except phones, which actually could do with having them.
(This isn’t a completely new thing, in the 1980s I had an A-Team watch that had led lights on it.)
Anyone using Liftoff - if you can’t log in, or keep getting logged out, remove and re-add your account:

I assume this is not the same meaning as in the UK!
More seriously, great work!
I think there are a lot of reasons.
Some people perhaps find they enjoy being able to control large communities - there are definitely some “power mod” users forming here on Lemmy and I don’t know that it is clear why or what that will look like going forward.
I don’t think being a mod is always about having bad motives. I look after a community for a table top role playing game across Discord, Reddit, and here - the community isn’t huge but isn’t insignificant (expect here where there is no activity at all, the main hub is Discord). I recruited a team of mods to help with that, particularly Discord. Not to speak for them, but it’s people who enjoy being around the community and being a part of it. Nothing selfish or power-hungry about it - it is simply for the love of supporting a community you come to love and helping to make sure it continues to be a space the people using it want to be a part of. I set up the community because I enjoy the game, there wasn’t one already, and I didn’t want to clutter up other spaces talking about it. People joined and more importantly stayed because they enjoy the people and the space.
I think a test is when there are issues, or when you decide it is time to move on - are you happy to pass the community on to others who would like to look after it, or do you not do that and lock it down or get rid of it entirely. That feels incredibly selfish, and speaks to your reasons I think; whereas if you are happy to pass the torch because you care about the community which has formed in the space more than whatever you get out of doing the job, it is probably more likely you are doing the job altruistically and because you care.
I’m sure the above isn’t always the case and there are so many reasons and scenarios, just my thoughts at the moment :)
Wow what’s wrong with people! Haha
I can barely contain myself
I tried that line once, but the pizza restaurant still kicked me out
Have you had any yet
I hear the real 1.7% was his nipples any truth to that
The true value of the internet
Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie! Omg. (Sometimes I get mistaken for you.) Is it true that when you were filming The Legend of Tarzan, Alexander Skarsgård’s chest was 98% computer effects?
It feels just right, also I have used it for a long time and I can’t be bothered to think up a new one as I need my brain for other things
Hmmmmmm
I suspect multiple countries probably have socks, and wank into them even though they also have access to tissues. I bet there is funding available to study this and someone should (after they wash their hands).
I will let her know haha thank you! The nurse at the vets calls her “a model of the cat world”!
