Fruit of the Loom is cheap. They have all the advanced underwear technology too. These are what I'm wearing now. They're that spandex crap or whatever that are tight against your leg so they don't clump up, they don't absorb a lot of moisture, and have thinly woven spots to increase ventilation. What else do you need in an underwear? Every other brand's version of that is like $20+ more expensive for no reason.
I spent 95% of my time shitposting on one forum in the early 2000's. It was a similar experience to spending 95% of my time on reddit or one of the other major social media sites, except that crazy new ideas for social media didn't really exist back then. They were all traditional forums where everything is posted in chronological order. I remember occasionally sumbling across a threaded forum back then, where you could reply directly to a comment and start a new thread chain like lemmy and reddit can. That was about it as far as innovation went, or at least from what I remember.
The other 5% where I was browsing those old web 1.0 sites with basic html and flash and all that stuff, I don't miss that stuff too much. It would be nice to browse through an archive of stuff like that once or twice for nostalgia's sake, but the modern internet is good too. I have no qualms with the modern internet.
The suggestions in their direction for future improvement section should be implemented sooner rather than later. There's no point in growing this platform if it's going to be left wide open for abuse like it is.
I also think, in lieu of lemmy devs making any improvements, another good solution would be for a third party to prop something up that scrapes every lemmy post and runs it through an automated service for detecting known CSAM. The third party service would be forcing at least one of those future improvements on lemmy, as it exists today. Any known CSAM that's found would be automatically reported, and if the instance owners can't deal with it, then they would rightfully have to deal with the consequences of their inactions.
Edit: I'm beginning to think reddit was maybe not so bad. Getting mad about more robust tools for moderating CSAM is just sad.
Those soldiers have a tough road ahead of them. The ISW map for the area around Robotyne is a little more detailed than their other maps in that it shows Russian fortifications, and the Russians have that area fortified to hell and back:
Of course those are Russian fortifications, so there's no telling how shitty they are. But I hope those Ukrainian soldiers are getting good weapons for that offensive.
Until whenever it was when Ada complained

They changed it after Ada complained about the community

You guys... the lemmynsfw community had the term "child-like" in its sidebar. Why is everybody conveniently forgetting that? Don't even try saying that's not a disgusting request to have in a sidebar too.
The community sidebar used the term "child-like." That's pretty disgusting and really disingenuous of the lemmynsfw admins to quietly change that and then pretend like nothing happened. Plus, redditors have already gone through all this with r/jailbait, so it's not really silly to anybody who remembers that debacle.
Yeah, the repost bots just don't work. Reading the comments is half the fun of using reddit/lemmy, but lemmy has a very small userbase still, so the comments are a little bit slow moving. Having a ton of reposts suddenly spammed in splits that small comment activity up to the point where comments basically don't exist and you're viewing a slideshow of empty threads.
