off topic but I'd like to see federated imageboards, or a nostr imageboard
I Was Banned From LemmyWorld For No Clear Reason
Definitely a sign the Fediverse has longevity problems
I am careful what I comment so they either very manually singled me out or I got caught on an automated banner for downvotes (I ended up downvoting a lot since there were such frequent bad takes and posts) are my guesses
Lemmyworld, with its ban of pirating communities, petty bans of random users, frequent downtime, CSAM attacks and new registration restrictions... I wonder which lemmy will overtake it with users since it has proven to be unreliable

tfw donky.social registrations still not open (or are they)
yeah an explodingheads matrix might be nice
rand seems forgettable to me
I like some of the ancap ideas of murray rothbard instead, if we're going to discuss jewish libertarians
I mean, we are the melting pot of the world, and that’s what makes us strong is our diversity
One widely shared post from a blue-checked account full of racist posts reads, “Such a let down. Did he sell out already to the rich men north of Richmond?” Another account called @Black_Pilled, whose bio indicates that it had recently been unbanned when Twitter welcomed white nationalists back to the platform, shared the clip with the caption “Promoted algorithm boosted ‘based’ red beard hillbilly song guy was faking his accent and says diversity is our strength.” Another tweet complains, “Oliver Anthony is now openly calling America a (((melting pot))) and saying diversity is our strength. Using the voice of the downtrodden white working class to smuggle this message is one of the most despicable antiwhite psyops ever.”
sounds likely manufactured or bought off, Twitter isn't fooled LOL
in the other stickied post they also mentioned having bot problems and suspending registrations over it: https://lemmy.world/post/3995057?scrollToComments=true
well for example lemmyworld is being attacked by CSAM right now, so like mob and kapow wanted to try to back off having to mod stuff like this, they want Nostr to structurally fix some of the problems of having to be a "benevolent dictator admin"

I learn a lot from forums and have good convos so idk about cutting them out totally, cold turkey
but I have also lived without internet and I am wondering about more of life like that

Exploding Heads Migration Paths
I'm interested, but also was thinking this might be an opportunity to back away from forums a bit for me
we have already bounced from forum to forum quite a bit
well what are your thoughts on nostr
the reason why nostr was liked was to prevent us from having to keep bouncing around as much
there's also https://squabblr.co/

wigglehard is bummed out about the move:
Gab will now be the permanent home of the dank, microwave taco community until further notice. I will only use other social media to promote for us, and convince people to come to gab. Nostr needs a lot of development and its current form reminds me of Twitter if it had a retarded cousin. It doesn’t work right and is inconsistent in performance.

Nostr hasn't been smooth for me at all but I'll probably figure something out
Rich Men North of Richmond by Oliver Anthony (Slight Language Warning)
yewtu.be Oliver Anthony - Rich Men North Of Richmond
When I first came across Oliver Anthony and his music, I was blown away to say the least. He had a whole collection of songs that I could listen to for hours. Oliver resides in Farmville, VA with his 3 dogs and a plot of land he plans on turning into a small farm to raise livestock. We have a who...

[Verse 1] I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day Overtime hours for bulls*** pay So I can sit out here and waste my life away Drag back home and drown my troubles away
[Pre-Chorus] It's a damn shame what the world's gotten to For people like me and people like you Wish I could just wake up and it not be true But it is, oh, it is
[Chorus] Livin' in the new world With an old soul These rich men north of Richmond Lord knows they all just wanna have total control Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do And they don't think you know, but I know that you do 'Cause your dollar ain't s*** and it's taxed to no end 'Cause of rich men north of Richmond
[Verse 2] I wish politicians would look out for miners And not just minors on an island somewhere Lord, we got folks in the street, ai
Lemmy is irredeemable
it's just that right wing and libertarians aren't hosting instances, not that it can't be redeemed
left instances can be "trolled" within the rules plenty

"Housework Counts As Exercise!"
cross-posted from: https://exploding-heads.com/post/739175
https://www.ifit.com/blog/housework-counts-as-exercise/
Honestly I've seen some attitudes and articles that "housework isn't exercise" and... I'm guessing such people don't do much housework? At a minimum, it could often be a lot of walking, which is fine low to moderate exercise.
Have you ever found housework (or chores) to be good exercise?

Dormition Fast Ends (Feast of the Assumption)
cross-posted from: https://exploding-heads.com/post/735261
via Wiki:
The Feast of the Dormition is preceded by a two-week fast, referred to as the Dormition Fast. From August 1 to August 14 (inclusive) Orthodox and Eastern Catholics fast from red meat, poultry, meat products, dairy products (eggs and milk products), fish, oil, and wine. The Dormition Fast is a stricter fast than either the Nativity Fast (Advent) or the Apostles' Fast, with only wine and oil (but no fish) allowed on weekends. As with the other Fasts of the Church year, there is a Great Feast that falls during the Fast; in this case, the Transfiguration (August 6), on which fish, wine and oil are allowed.
In some places, the services on weekdays during the Fast are similar to the services during Great Lent (with some variations). Many churches and monasteries in the Russian tradition perform the lenten services on at least the first day of the Dormition Fast. In the Greek tradition, during the Fast eith
