That has nothing to do with the comment you replied to.

Ah I am the opposite, I prefer the self check outs so that I don't have to talk to anyone. I don't know why but I always feel obligated to think of something to say when going through human checkout. If there's an issue with the machine during check out that can be a bit anxiety inducing but the issues are fairly common so I just sort of shrug and am like "it just started beeping" and they make it stop within a few seconds.

For the same reason I've been cutting my own hair for nearly 6 years now lol

Yeah of course, you can just go at your own pace and do it in your own time. Don't have to have 20 people breathing down your neck and judging you for taking 5 seconds too long to find your debit card. Don't have to talk to anyone, it's great. People just prefer different things.

Yeah I'm pretty sure fffp3/N95 masks should leave you almost completely protected in normal circumstances, outside of working in a hospital or whatever.

Did you ever hear of this one year called 1991?

It is weird how he's just completely running it into the ground... I don't really buy that though because he never actuslly wanted the company and only bought it because a court forced him to. Also I honestly don't think he'd want to wash 44 big ones down the drain just to own the libs.

All I can think of is that he's just... maybe kind of an idiot and has just gotten lucky so far lol? It's the only thing that fits as far as I can see.

Yeah it is like that unfortunately. I mean the larger subs are fine but the niche ones just aren't working on Lemmy atm and some way of addressing the sub splintering would help a lot. And yeah hashtags would probably be a solid way of addressing it.

Ahh as an alternative to Activity Pub or whatever it's called? That's a shame

Are you saying brands don't want to come to the fediverse to market their products? I mean if that's true that seems like a good thing, and even if it wasn't I'm sure they would once Lemmy/Mastadon are big enough

Maybe how it could work is sublemmies could agree to link up and share posts so for example the posts from one games sub would appear in the other games sub and vice versa.

It seems the limitation with the topics idea is who would decide what the topics are? Would there just be a list of like 20 topics baked into Lemmy and people that create sublemmies would tag their sub with a topic? I think the only limitation with that is there would be so many niche subs that don't fit cleanly into one topic, or will be drowned out by the big subs in there maybe. Maybe it could work though if anybody could create new topics, then there could be a Fallout for example with the Fallout subs being in that rather than having to be in the games topic and being drowned out

So is it going to be part of the fediverse at one point or will it be a separate federation?

Thanks lol. I was trying to satirise how people sometimes talk about countries like Cuba. But this is the internet so Poe's law is going to Poe's law
