Fair, but you can still post about it in the more general cars communities, no?

Even Reddit didn’t start with all these specialized subs. It started without subs at all, actually. And then the big general subs were born, and only later the niche subs were born because the signal to noise ratio in the big ones got too bad. Post your content here in the general communities until the signal to noise ratio warrants a dedicated offshoot.

This advice generalizes. There aren’t enough fans of each sports team here yet to have team specific communities, but there are enough fans of each sport to have general communities for that sport. Branch later.

“space music” – I played Mass Effect 1 long ago and got hooked on the idea of musicians trying (and often failing) to make music for futuristic settings. This is like Star Trek episodes that reference classical music but some person has to predict what classical music will sound like in 2300. So they go with with future retro stuff and it just tickles me. So I seek out these sorts of experimental musical pre-trend predictions cause they’re often hilarious.

There are dedicated communities on Lemmy to these things – and they’re pretty quiet. Post new content there and engage in conversations and be the change you want to see.

Saw (or rather heard) a few at a football game recently. They’re still here, but at least it isn’t a stadium full.

Instead we use cowbells like God and nature intended ;)

Nice perspective.

What would you consider to be a contribution of value? Posting? Comments? Moderating? Installing a server rack in your closer for nightly backups? What would you suggest a minimum contribution for continued use should be?

Was playing slo-pitch (beer league rec baseball), pitching. The other team was short one player, so when the missing player came up to bat, there would be an automatic out.

It’s bottom of the last inning and we’re tied, two outs. Batter in the box and “automatic out” is on deck. My shortstop says: “if you walk this batter, they cannot win.” I decline, and throw decent pitches - our thirdbaselady makes a perfect line drive catch to preserve the tie. Walking off the field, I say the the shortstop.

“I couldn’t do it. If I walk the batter, then after the game when I go touch myself – I wouldn’t have enjoyed it.” The bench dies laughing.

Daaad, get off the interent.

I worked on open source software for over a decade (KDE). When we started having in person conferences, that’s the first time money changed hands. And even then, the conference attendance was free. Viewed through this lens of experience, this feels like an attempt to earn money from the fediverse for running video chats, rather than a grassroots effort.

Old man yells at cloud.

Chillout ambient. Basically, the Mass Effect 1 soundtrack affected my whole musical library. I ask myself – would this music sound cool in a bar in Mass Effect? If the answer is yes, it’s probably on theme.

Boooooo.

For messages, I have “(arrow noise) Message for you sir!” from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

For ringtones and alarms I have the defaults for any device.

Paid online event? Weird. What happened to IRC for these sorts of meetings. I’m old.

I’m in this comment and I don’t know why

Because I’m a cat?! I knew it!🐈 Meow.

You’re arguing about word choices and message. It’s about as useful as “thoughts and prayers”. Go lobby politicians for UBI, or volunteer for Habitat for Humanity or whatever your local equivalent is. Do something real. Have a nice day.

Playing games with language doesn’t solve poverty. It just makes you feel holier-than-thou.

Pro tip: when you find a comment by someone you find interesting or insightful on a topic you wish to see more about - click on their profile and see where else they’re posting. It’s a great way to find additional communities.

Furthermore, lemmyverse.net is amazing for finding communities.

The pendulum has swung too far. Come back to the centre.
