    We go maybe twice a month. We have to go down and cross the border into Oregon to do it, so we don't do it that often. They have a few things that we just won't do without. My husband loves the muffins, has one every morning for breakfast.

    Such a quiet off-season. So, what are the hopes and actual realistic goals we can aim for during this next season?

    we're all still small fries, but that's ok because the fediverse is large. We're just small apartment buildings full of people in a larger city. We're not alone and size isn't as important as community and communication.

    We purged 32k unverified bot/spam accounts from our Lemmy instance this past week. We had email verification on but had missed adding CAPTCHA during initial setup. We're still fairly new. Had over 1500 accounts "apply" within a 2 minute span. My admin email was flooded. It was ridiculous.

    They're gone now, but we're staying vigilant.

    I think it's ok to have themed instances. People are still free to create communities on other ones, even if they're similar topics. No one is saying ALL ttrpg has to be ONLY one roof. I help admin an instance that's devoted only to sci-fi and fantasy communities (any media) but only those themes. Some of the communities we have also exist elsewhere and that's the great thing about the fediverse.

    We have reusable nylon bags and those are nice and sturdy. My local grocer... I line up my groceries on the belt in little piles and put one bag with each pile. I would think the point was obvious. They grab the bags and just throw whatever they want into each bag. raw meats mixed with boxed goods. heavy items on my eggs. I dislike going to my local grocer because there's no self-check option. I was a cashier for a while and got a lot of compliments and praise from my customers because I bagged smartly. It's not that hard to say "oh this is a freezer item, maybe I should put it with other freezer items".

    I agree. Self-check should come with a discount of some kind. For a lot of people it will absolutely feel/be unpaid labor. For me it's a way to keep control over things and I am willing for that to be the case, but a lot of people are getting shoved into self-check due to lack of paid employees and cutbacks on cashier hours. It's ridiculous.

    I prefer self-checkout because cashiers don't know shit about bagging groceries in a reasonable manner. I don't like dealing with people and I like my groceries bagged to my specifications. Self-checkout is a godsend.

    That said...

    I have made mistakes. I've accidently stolen from WalMart. I've been an employee of WalMart; I am not crying over this. WalMart is a shit employer and they have a ton of self-check so they can continue to refuse full time jobs to cashiers so they don't have to pay benefits. Fuck them.

    How are you moderating communities with the app? I have zero moderation tools available when I am logged in and I am an admin on the instance.

    Also I have a second account on the same instance but when I log into that one all my upvotes and subscriptions are identical to my main account. I can't do anything separately.

    I love this app, the UI is nice to me and it's quick and easy to use. But I need mod tools and for accounts to actually be separate.

    on desktop I use eM Client. On Android I was using just plain GMail but I saw people in this comment section using other stuff so I checked it out and swapped to FairEmail.

    edit: FairEmail is fantastic and I've upgraded to pro. Definitely recommend this one for mobile users with multiple email accounts.

    Used to use Thunderbird but I wanted something that just looked like it was from this century. I like how eM Client works and its features and it looks nice. I don't like that I am limited to 2 email accounts though. I'd love something like it that is FOSS and allows more email addresses.

I don't know if I will get it on release but it's definitely on my to be played list.

Convo will happen when off-season really kicks in and then we will have pre-season and by then Lemmy/Kbin should be established.

    I don't have a screen protector on my phone, and I wasn't going to get a case but had to because the camera on the back of it sticks out and my phone wouldn't lay flat and it just wanted to scratch the camera lens. The case makes it so my phone can lay flat, and I have better grip I guess. It's just a slim case, nothing bulky.

    I'm a mod of a group of related subreddits that are all part of the same fandom community. We've been polling our members each step of the way so we can represent their interests and not just shut down because the mods wanted to. Our subs voted to stay dark for a week, and on the 19th we will reopen, but Restricted, so we can poll again to see what our next steps, as a community, are. We won't just pull the plug on our communities without their consent, and while we're dark we're researching alternative platforms to rehome on if that's needed.
