Strange New Worlds and Ahsoka.

Man, reminding me of TTSCC… Now I wanna watch it again, again

Just keep one thing in mind: even Meta themselves are saying they’ll wait until they have a billion users, and then they’ll decide what to do.

Freely admitting they’ll play nice (not even ads) until they have a monopoly.

Now it’s not surprising, that’s how companies like Meta operate anyway. It’s just quite brazen for them to just say it outright. That shows how confident they are that nobody will challenge them.

So that’s the kind of company we’re talking about here.

Maybe this was not done intentionally, but now there is a post with a list of ‘health communities on Lemmy’ with the first entry guiding to exploding heads. https://lemmy.world/post/396561

I’m building that list and no, it wasn’t intentional. It being first is completely accidental. As you can see, “general health” communities are at the top, and well the one from xheads is the most general purpose (another one is on Midwest US and the other is Mander so more scientific).

I didn’t know or even care where the communities come from. In the post I clearly state I don’t vouch for any of them, and people can let me know if they think some don’t belong.

I called for help or advice on multiple occasions, guess how many people offered any? Zero.

Honestly until this post I didn’t even know there’s any controversy with that instance. I never visited it, it’s just been under my radar. I know some instances don’t like other instances and it just becomes noise to me, honestly.

I don’t know what would you have me do here? Remove the link? What other links should I remove because some instances have some oddball users? Should I remove Lemmygrad links too?

I’m not claiming to be the Red Cross or anything, but I was hoping to have a neutral list that’s as complete as possible.

This may seem like a problem specific to this list of mine, but see how easy to suddenly be indirectly accused of supporting nazis or something. Let’s not be so hasty alright?

Btw, I was just about to try to figure out how or if to include lgbtq+ matters in the health community, and wanted to go ask some actual lgbtq+ people because I want their input rather than just guess myself. Now I’m wondering if I’d also be accused of being a provocateur or something else for trying to be open to everyone.

Not all instances have downvotes, but most do

I’d be curious to see what kind of applications you get that you turn down (aside of the obvious like when someone just types gjshshshdh in the box)
