I’m really enjoying it. I feel way more inclined to post here, I very rarely did over at Reddit. People seem a lot more receptive and willing to participate.

Only downside is that it doesn’t have the history Reddit has, so I still find myself using Reddit’s history for research. I haven’t installed the new app though, and I haven’t looked at /r/all since the API changes went into affect.

Could be interesting, I enjoy the comics when they pop up on social media. Not sure how it’s going to adapt to something longer form but I’ll keep an open mind.

Actively making the world worse

I’m no expert but I believe comments are pulled down by an instance when a user requests the information and is then cached in the DB. So not everything is, but content that’s viewed by a user on the instance will be.

I don’t think it really matters, but I picked vlemmy.net because it wasn’t too big. I figured that the bigger ones were staring down the barrel of a huge influx in traffic, so I wanted to avoid them.

I didn’t see any evidence of the admin being shady, but also wasn’t too hasty with the defederate button.

Yeah, I bailed on the final episode because the rest was so underwhelming, and the last episode was bordering on feature length.

It’s a shame because I’m a big fan of Charlie Brooker, I loved the earlier seasons.

I thought Joan Is Awful was alright, but too much time was spent on the premise and the twist felt rushed. Loch Henry was good, but not the “what would happen if <insert sci-fi tech> was real” type premise that I’ve come to expect from the show. Beyond the Sea was about 40 minutes too long. Mazey Day… I have no idea what they were thinking.

I genuinely wish I liked it more, but this is two underwhelming seasons in a row for me now 😕
