I hear you!

You’re welcome! :) I’m glad that you have someone to help. It’s always useful to have a second set of eyes review papers.

I see, I misunderstood then. From your first post that I replied to, I assumed that you were using Microsoft Office. Sorry for the confusion. You’re welcome! I’ve never used it myself, but I get the impression that it works well.

I think I understand. I don’t know how Grammarly compares to Microsoft Office in terms of privacy though.

The irony of an EDM DJ hating on LGBTQ+ and POC. What the hell?

How about a dedicated third-party service like Grammarly?

Awesome, thank you @ROllerozxa@sopuli.xyz for those details and @Ephera@lemmy.ml for the tag!

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse:

The majority of Fediverse platforms are based on free and open-source software, and create connections between servers using the ActivityPub protocol. Some software still supports older federation protocols as well, such as OStatus, the Diaspora protocol and Zot. Diaspora* is the only actively developed software project classified under the original definition of Fediverse that does not support ActivityPub.[5][6]

You would have to look at those citations to see how authoritative they are. This may also still be open to interpretation?

The best I can think of off hand is to look at the mobile apps that are designed to interact with traditional forums, because they will have directories of all the ones that are integrated with them. For example, Tapatalk and Fora Communities. You should be able to find thousands of forums categorized in those apps? I’ve never used these apps myself, but have heard of them.

Thank you!

Oh, I was more thinking in the context of a centralized service, although technically it should be possible to do this in a federated manner too. I don’t think the resources would be an issue, but the liability of holding this data would be. I don’t know how that works on sites that currently do this though.

You don’t need a blockchain.

Solvable by requiring verification of every user by government ID?

No, but I don’t think that’s what we’re talking about. The references to Reddit are secondary, I think. We’re talking about how to improve Lemmy by having the place not be littered with a high proportion of dead communities.

Yes, and I think it would benefit Lemmy in general if all instance admins did a clean up. Start by deleting all communities that have been around for a while but have never had any posts.

Edit: there are plenty of those. Look through /communities on your own instance to get an idea and try all the different sorts. I see many communities with several subscribers but 0 posts.

This group sounds great. Unfortunately, I don’t read Finnish. Is there an equivalent group in English anywhere on Lemmy?

Haha, never met a wild pig, but thanks for letting us know!

Lucky!

A lot of animals in the wild stink. Seriously. Check out a farm or a zoo. It’s quite possible that people just used to generally smell bad before the modern age.

That’s definitely something to consider, but when I really think about it I’m not sure I completely agree with this. I am sure that some animals smell more than others, but also that a lot of the smell you notice especially in zoos is because you’re smelling their poop nearby. I think if you take most animals away from their bathroom area you may notice much less odor on their bodies.

I think of cats as an example, since I’m most familiar with having them at home. Cats are typically nearly odorless unless they have some health issue. They may not be the best example though, since they do clean themselves all the time unlike most other animals. Another thing to consider is how would those animals smell if they ate their natural diet that they would eat in the wild. I think that would also have an effect on their smell.

In short, I don’t think there’s much evidence that humans stunk to high heaven before the invention of soap and deodorant. I would gladly consider the evidence though.

Ebay. I buy new and used things there fairly frequently.
