The suggestions in their direction for future improvement section should be implemented sooner rather than later. There’s no point in growing this platform if it’s going to be left wide open for abuse like it is.

I also think, in lieu of lemmy devs making any improvements, another good solution would be for a third party to prop something up that scrapes every lemmy post and runs it through an automated service for detecting known CSAM. The third party service would be forcing at least one of those future improvements on lemmy, as it exists today. Any known CSAM that’s found would be automatically reported, and if the instance owners can’t deal with it, then they would rightfully have to deal with the consequences of their inactions.

Edit: I’m beginning to think reddit was maybe not so bad. Getting mad about more robust tools for moderating CSAM is just sad.

Those soldiers have a tough road ahead of them. The ISW map for the area around Robotyne is a little more detailed than their other maps in that it shows Russian fortifications, and the Russians have that area fortified to hell and back:

Of course those are Russian fortifications, so there’s no telling how shitty they are. But I hope those Ukrainian soldiers are getting good weapons for that offensive.

Well, this is off topic, but c/all for all the popular instances are like 99% the same, save for the occasional obscure community in one of the instances that nobody else is subscribed to. You can confirm that yourself by opening up lemmy.world and sopuli.xyz in private tabs and selecting all with the same sort in both. But I should’ve also mentioned that I sort by the “top” sorts when I browse all. If you browse with hot or active, then it is a significantly different experience from the top sorts.

But alright, I won’t pester you anymore. I apologize if I sounded angry too. I’ve been having issues with that recently that I’m trying to be more conscious of. I shouldn’t have even made my original comment in here, now that I’m thinking of it. That was kind of poor forum etiquette. It’s easy enough to just ignore the migration notices. So sorry about that haha. I wish you the best of luck with your communities, though.

I’m not subscribed to any communities. I’m seeing all these notices on c/all. This is like the 5th c/ps5 migration notice I’ve seen in the past two days. That’s why I suggested to just start posting new threads in !ps5@lemmy.world and be done with it. Lemmy is still really small, so basically every thread has the potential to succeed in c/all, even for new communities that are still starting out. So !ps5@lemmy.world will grow very easily without having to have this big hoopla about migrations and whatnot.

But I’m afraid to say I don’t think your idea is going to fly long term. While lemmy.ml advertises itself as a FOSS focused instance, if you browse local top day for it, you can see that in actuality it’s a lot of memes and other more casual posts. And you’re squatting on the ps5 name for lemmy.ml now, which could cause issues down the road.

You should either keep both communities active and be the mod of both, or seek out mods to replace you at !ps5@lemmy.ml.

Just start posting in !ps5@lemmy.world and be done with this whole migration thing. Posts in your new community will make it to c/all and people will participate and subscribe. !ps5@lemmy.ml is going to continue to exist with new mods and people will continue to post there, and there’s really nothing you can do about that. That’s just the nature of decentralized communities. Kind of like how c/asklemmy posts are split 50/50 between !asklemmy@lemmy.world and !asklemmy@lemmy.ml.

Thanks, this thread has been highly informative for me. I now know there’s a little bit of vitamin loss from the canning process, so I should look into that.

There was a time when I tried getting into cooking (mostly variations of rice and beans) and I ended up leaning pretty heavily on canned chopped/diced tomatoes too. I liked the different flavors you could buy, in terms of the seasoning that’s put in the can, and you’re right, you could put anything in it and it would taste good.

Haha yeah, the canned fruit is loaded with sugar from that extra syrup they add. I’ve been rationalizing it as at least I’m not drinking soda anymore, but I need to fix that too.

This is great info, though. Dried fruit is a good idea about ditching that sugary syrup. Plus, it’s easier than canned fruit anyway. I have been avoiding the premixed canned stuff and I do eat a lot of nuts and seeds, but I don’t do any dried vegetables. I’ll start looking into trying those. They do sound like they’d be a good way to get more variety.

Thanks! Yeah, I’ll start trying to introduce frozen veggies into my routine. Never considered the pickled section of the grocery store, but I’ll take a look there too.

Thanks cool, that’s good to know that I’m ok with the cans. I just have to start buying the low/no salt versions from now on, it sounds like. I’ll probably try to start mixing it up with the other lazy healthy options too, though. If only for a little more variety.

Cool, thanks for the recipe!

Thanks for the alternatives ideas. I should try to mix up my “cooking” game a little, just to get a little more variety in my diet.

Yeah, that’s the type of thing I was wondering about. Some weird chemical type thing or something that does damage over time. I haven’t been worrying about it too much, but figured I should probably at least check before I knock too many canned meals back.

And yeah, this is metal cans I’m talking about.

For the microplastics, I guess I’m not too concerned with this if I can’t avoid them anyway.

I forgot to mention that I also eat a sandwich or something with the canned food meal. Like peanut butter and jelly or something. And about the salt content, I rinse both the beans and vegetables off before I mix them. I’m pretty sure there’s little to no salt left at that point, because I don’t taste any.

Congrats! Best of luck on the new job!

What is this referring to?

Yes, it’s a safe bet that it’s just my current job. I was a lot happier at a previous job with a government contractor that was very low stress. I’m going to start applying for new dev jobs.

I’ll most likely stay in the dev field because it’s the path of least resistance for me, and because the job security most definitely shields me from a lot of new stressors I’m probably not even aware of. But I still wonder sometimes what it would be like to have a job outside like that one guy who said he became a wildlife ranger. Or to have a job where you solve physical problems with your hands, instead of abstract problems with your brain.

It’s not as black and white as that. There’s obviously a point where the West would have to push back against Russia. Most likely this grain deal won’t be enough for the West to make any significant new moves apart from what they’re already doing, but Russia is playing a stupid game by using mass hunger in poorer countries as a pawn in this war.

This is some bullshit. The first time Russia blockaded Ukrainian grain in the Black Sea, they had the plausible deniability that they weren’t aware it was going to cause mass food shortages in poorer countries. Now they know full well that’s what will happen, and they’re doing it again.

The West would be justified in clearing a path in the Black Seas themselves, in my opinion. Russia’s being little terrorist bitches.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, two year Associate Degree might not be too bad, if I really wanted to make the transition.
