you can make a custom filter with ublock. I'm not seeing anything with the words trump, biden, us, texas, etc, including us politics related acronyms I have no idea about and that kept popping up 😅

I found after years that starters work fine if I leave them in the fridge without feeding (sometimes for weeks) and then prepare and feed them overnight or 1 day before using it.

would you say that's dangerous?

I find it funny that sharing any type of take about these "sensitive subjects" is a russian roulette kind of thing these days

posting either this comment or the comic itself in slightly different times of the day and communities could be the difference between praise and roast

is this such a common thing worldwide?
I'm asking because I'm from Latin America and moved to Europe years ago. this was never a problem before, but now I see myself being left in a vacuum so often by people I meet here I'm starting to think this is the stupid reason why...
and this hits particularly bad when you end up liking someone and the feeling is that they basically forgot you even exist :/

I keep hearing people repeat this idea that "they" destroyed the free internet. but isn't the internet still free and wild? can't I just create a website by myself and be as creative as I want just like the olden days?

to me, the biggest shift has been in the people, who let themselves simmer in the capitalist pan frog-style as companies took over. we stopped looking at the internet as a place to roam and explore and now expect content to be spoon-fed to us like we didn't have a choice... we just turned from brave explorers into lazy customers (and products) by our own will (though whether free will even exists is a whole other conversation hehe)

another interesting aspect here is the capitalist mindset that things are not worth if they aren't productive. in the internet this translates as reach and engagement. there have been absurdly long debates here about the "success" of lemmy/fediverse based solely on quantitative metrics. there's still internet beyond big techs and content aggregators but we simply don't think of them as relevant
