  • This is really what’s is beginning to bother me. I came from Reddit with the fuck-spez-wave searching for an alternative, and Lemmy somehow sounded interesting and a new way of doing things.

    I can live with the lag of content, that will come, but more and more it looks like every server is their own little community with whatever weirdnesses they have, and each one has a bunch of moderators, most good, some bad, but all doing what they think is best.

    When you’re just a mainstream user looking for content and debate, and take no interest in server drama, defederations and whatever, it’s all just unwanted noise and irritating.








  • I may be part of the ‘cult’ - I watch it once or twice a year when it’s shown in the local cinema.

    But I won’t defend the movie - it’s really bad in every possible way, and the background story of how it was made is at some points also sketchy.

    But sitting with friends and others who knows the movie, and have a fun time yelling quotes is just that, fun. Nothing more, nothing less.

    From time to time I bring people who don’t know the movie, and I make sure to inform them, that they should expect the worst movie ever, but perhaps the most fun they’ve had going to a movie.











  • So once a year there is a bonus pool at around $10.000 which everyone can apply for if you think you have the arguments to convince the bosses.

    So one of my coworkers applied but instead of just emailing the boss, she emailed everyone. This was an email mentioning how much better she was than most of the department, and then throwing a few coworkers under the bus, to make her look better.

    It’s been a few years. She’s still there. She actually got the bonus. 🤷🏽‍♂️
