  • For me, there is kind of default neutral sounding voice for comments, but as soon as I get some kind of clue as to the speaker, either from language or punctuation patterns or if they say something about who they are- age, gender, nationality, etc., then the voice gets some more distinctive sound to it.

    For instance, @ickplant@lemmy.world, who is the main poster in several communities I subscribe to, has a picture of Leela from Futurama as her profile pic, and she has mentioned that she’s a she. So obviously when I read a comment or a title she wrote, it’s in Leela’s voice.

    Your comment seems energetic and friendly, so the voice is genderless and with a neutral (to me) accent, but with an energetic, friendly tone and cadence.








  • I set some humming bird food to boil a while back. Got distracted in the other room and smelled smoke. Went back into the kitchen and couldn’t see the stove there was so much smoke. Then the smoke alarm went off. Very effective. Took hours to scrub the burn sugar out of the pot and days to get rid of the smoke smell in the house.

    Pro tip, always set a timer when you walk away from something on the stove.










  • I’m sorry you’re having such a bad time. I don’t think that anyone upvoted you with bad intentions. It seems like you are viewing “Lemmy” as a unified entity rather than a community of varied individuals. There are some very nice people here. There are also some douche bags. There are a few prominent posters that are frequently both of those options in quick succession. I wish I had a solution for you. I hope you find a community where you feel safe and seen.
