It would be as disastrous as the impact to PC gaming when Gaben dies.
That’s because according to Valve law, when he dies the whole company cannot won’t be passed along to his successor
Huh, what?
The official decree:
“Hear ye, hear ye! It is hereby declared that the illustrious title of Most Qualified Employee, and with it the weighty responsibility of running this corpulent company, shall be passed down to the employee who rises to the occasion like a perfectly baked soufflé and demonstrates the most beefy credentials and chubby qualifications.
To ensure a buttery-smooth transition, we shall evaluate each candidate’s credentials with a fine-tooth comb, weighing their skills and experience like a well-balanced scale. The chosen one must have a talent as rich as double cream, a work ethic as solid as a pound of cheddar, and leadership as commanding as a towering stack of pancakes.
Let it be known that the path to this lofty (and hefty) position is no piece of cake. Candidates must show they’ve got the guts and gristle to handle the job, bringing more to the table than just a meaty resume. They must prove themselves in the frying pan of daily operations, sizzling with the kind of excellence that turns ordinary employees into seasoned pros.
So gird your loins, flex your flab, and prepare to show that you’ve got the chops to take a bite out of the competition. The future of our portly powerhouse depends on it.”
lemmy if they become the picard marooner
Shoutout to @fossilesque@mander.xyz aswell. Love this guys content.
😘
Yes, single handedly rocking out there at !science_memes@mander.xyz
And the comments section without FlyingSquid
and that’s to say nothing of @Kolanaki@yiffit.net
🤭
Haha apparently they blocked me from their .world account so TIL that’s my Lemmy experience
I didn’t block you.
Oof…
Those 2 truly are the lemmyverse
I’m back on my BS is also a solid contributor
Wait where is SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world is he safe is he alright?
Oh shit he migrated with us? Praise be to His Noodly Appendage!
Yes.
I’m afraid I’m your shitposts you have killed him.
Thankfully, he survived!
I have a lot to unload and nowhere to unload it.
That’s what he said
I used to visit a classic forum like this. One person really carried the conversation and then suddenly disappeared and the forum died. Still have no idea what happened to them. Hope they just got bored or preoccupied with life.
I half expected this to be posted by him lol
Yeah I love Lemmy, but I feel like it’s being held up by a few different people. I comment and even occasionally post to try and help with that, but it’s kind of scary how much weight is on a few peoples’ shoulders, and that’s not even accounting for server owners and the devs
I like to think I make a difference with my inane bullshit, but K O L A N A K absolutely has me beat. Can’t even get top commenter on my small instance lol
I try to post content, but I’ve found that it’s certainly more clunky than submitting to reddit ever was. Share url to sync or jeroba isn’t as smoooooth as submitting to reddit through RIF. I wish there was an easier way on desktop which is where I do most of my surfing.
Every time I submit something, it gets removed for not being in the proper community.
Like dude, the proper community doesn’t exist and I don’t have the time to mod a community!
That’s the way it is with every platform, you only have a comparatively small proportion of people who do a huge share of the posting.
Reddit has the advantage of being absolutely massive that the power posters is also still a huge number. I’d imagine even the biggest of entire Lemmy instances is smaller than some of the major subreddits, which personally I’m fine with. This emmy instance isn’t some major corporation beholden to growing value for shareholders at all costs, but on the other end it still doesn’t mean the admins can do everything without monetary or labor support from us.
To be perfectly fair, this is also the case even with real life friend groups, where there are generally that one or two friends who hold the friendship the most.
The solution is to poach the best superusers from Reddit and get them to put their content here where it will be more appreciated.
this thread made me realize lemmy is in more ways like the forums I used to frequent when I was younger (that is about 20 years ago fuck…)
Let’s stop with the hero worshipping just because someone posts a lot. I saw Picard post a racist meme yesterday, heroes aren’t perfect.
Please share the link to that post.

Note that the deer head and antler aesthetic is based on a number of depictions of w*ndigo that have gained popularity among white audiences and been heavily criticised for cultural appropriation.
“Cultural apropration” is a nothing burger championed by people who often have no ties to the culture that they claim needs their protecting. A white man speaking for indigenous american culture does not give indigenous americans more of a voice, it takes their voice away by revoking their ability to speak for themselves.
There’s nothing wrong in speaking out for other groups for as long as it actually corresponds to the current needs of people inside the group, as defined by themselves.
This is what being an ally is all about.
But yes, one should better consult people on what they ask for in the first place.
I dunno mate, seems like I’m the only one in this thread who actually has a source from a native american. @Vytle@lemmy.world talks a big game about respecting native americans and elevating their voices, while denying the existence of the issues they care about and talking over them. Maybe Vtyle should try listening to the people they claim to represent instead of deciding what indigenous people think for them.
You are grouping all indigenous people together by saying “denying the existence of issues they care about and talking over them” I emplore you, who is “they”? Are you implying that all native Americans hold the same beliefs? That they are the same people? I also never claimed to represent native Americans. I would never speak for a culture or peoples I don’t belong to.
No I’m not. You’re just inventing nonsense reasons to “no u” this conversation and justify racism. You’ve read the accounts from the affected communities, because I linked them. You’re just lying.
And here’s a native american person saying not to culturally appropriate the w*ndigo: https://writingwithcolor.tumblr.com/post/171102081849/no-longer-taking-questions-involving-the-wendigo
Never mind the fact that the entire point of the meme is to say that native american folkloric creatures are scary, incomprehensible, and fundamentally other, in comparison with european folkloric creatures.
This comment should be deleted too.
You know you want to.“Not being racist is racist!!!” I do not understand how the asshole in this thread got people agreeing with them. It makes no sense. They had no sources, no factual backing, all they did was complain about non issues and say antiracism is racist. I don’t get it.
Fuck lemmycelebs. Block them all, your experience will be much better
Prolly just gonna block u
Yeah… He is the @Camus@jlai.lu of .world
Fr this dude carries multiple subs like atlas
I don’t really know what drama caused it but when he stopped posting on c/risa@startrek.website it was a sad sad day.
No it wasn’t.
Go check out the first few posts on !tenforward@lemmy.world to learn why. Essentially the startrek instance admin was power tripping, instance got abandoned by the main moderators and content contributors to get away from that.
The Ten Forward moderators are bigger assholes than anything I ever saw from the star trek people. Racist memes, defending the use of slurs. I don’t really pay attention to the community, but the clique in charge of it are toxic. Sounds like they were just projecting hard and looking for an excuse to set up their own private fiefdom
No. You are simply wrong in every way.
Show me something the star trek people did that’s worse than defending slurs. Or, y’know, don’t, because they never did anything that bad.
I can’t even show you people defending slurs in ten forward, dude. Why would I go back to risa to look that up?
Here’s Flying Squid defending the ableist, queerphobic, and pedophilic slur “n*rcissist” https://lemmy.ca/post/23378261/9867366
And here’s squid defending the slur “ps*cho” https://lemmy.timwaterhouse.com/comment/8013407
I can’t begin to try to imagine what thoughts go through your head.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of language.
I understand that but none of the replacements came close to matching the level of content and quality, risa used to always be popping in recent and I’ve not found any of the replacements (I subscribed to them all) to be anywhere near that. Not saying the action wasn’t warranted (it probably was) but still sad.
Nah it wasn’t warranted. The Ten Forward mods are a bunch of racists, queerphobes, and ableists. See my other comments in this thread. https://lemmy.ca/post/23657413/9955653
Ten forward is where it at
This ten forward? I see last post as 5 months ago…
Yeah I guess c/startrek is the one I see most now, I’m subscribed to a few
