Looks like they are inactive. You can try to PM them or you can also message a lemmy.world admin and ask if they can make you a mod of that community
Honestly I feel like yeet is at least partially Millenial slang. It started in 2014 and the Zoomers are born 1997-2012. It's just such a good word that it kinda stuck around.
It says in the article that the driver had been linked to other "politically motivated" cases, which is why he was a suspect. Also he was driving an ATV. I don't think this is a distracted driving situation.
if the driver was out for blood, actually getting it wouldn’t push him to kill himself.
I beg to differ. It's quite common for people to fail to grasp the ramifications of their actions in the heat of the moment. I'd like to think that any person who drove an ATV over an 80 year old man would have some kind of emotional remorse in the aftermath, even if they did it intentionally. Traumatic injuries of that sort are difficult to witness, let alone perpetrate.
Its harder and takes much longer to get your car registered than to buy a gun.
Totally depends where you live. New York has some of the most comprehensive gun legislation in the world. It's essentially impossible to get a permit for concealed carry.
However, it's quite trivial to obtain a gun illegally, as one can see from the crime statistics. Even though your complaint about the lack of gun control is true in some states, it's obvious that even the most stringent gun regulations would have little to no effect on the availability of illegal firearms, which are disproportionately responsible for gun violence.
Lol they have 5 examples of botched restorations and they all occurred in Spain. What the hell is going on over there?
This community is rapidly becoming one of my favorites. I already spent a ton of time randomly clicking through Wikipedia, this just makes it more efficient to find cool articles.
The artist they commissioned to restore the clock in 2018 apparently went rogue and started changing all sorts of stuff in the paintings. What a shitshow.
Martin Freeman was tremendous as Bilbo. And if you don't compare to LOTR it's a very good adaptation.
But there are two main criticisms that I agree with.
it was too long and they added too many subplots that didn't exist in the book
it used too much CGI and not enough practical effects
As a LOTR nerd it doesn't bother me too much because I'm happy to get more content. But as a film, I think it could have been executed better. There was never enough book to fill 3 whole movies.
If squids can turn transparent, why do they bother with all the colors and camouflage? Maybe it's just because they like to show off
Cute animation of SCP-999, seemed appropriate for this community.

Threads will be implementing federation in the near future and many instances have been discussing whether they should be pre-emptively defederated to protect the fediverse. See below for our local discussion thread, which will remain active until this vote is complete.
Given that this is a time-sensitive issue and it's the holiday season, we decided to initiate the vote a few days early to make sure everyone gets a chance to vote. The vote will be tallied on Friday, December 29th.

Thank you for your participation, and happy holidays to everyone!
I didn't want to make an announcement about this but since there seems to be some confusion (to say the least), I feel that I must.
You have almost certainly started seeing posts and comments from hexbear.net users in the past day or so. Long story short, when hexbear originally federated into Lemmy a few weeks ago, they left SJW off the list of instances they wanted to federate. A few days ago, hexbear users had a vote where they agreed to add SJW to their list of federated instances.
Myself and TheDude were informed of this vote by the hexbear admins while it was in progress. We agreed that if hexbear voted in the affirmative, we would be amenable to federation and seeing how it turns out. Now, here we are.
Hexbear is a Lemmy server that was created about 3 years ago as a new home for the former users of r/chapotraphouse. CTH was banned from reddit because they were openly calling for the deaths of slave owners, which reddit considered hate speech 🙄
Hexbear is composed of leftists of all shapes and sizes, and they also have a special sensitivity to the struggles of marginalized groups, including but not limited to LGBTQ folk, the disabled, and gingers.
Some things to know about hexbear: they removed downvotes from their platform. Therefore, they tend to make a lot of comments, because the only way to respond to something you disagree with is by commenting. This can give the impression of being brigaded, but that's not necessarily the case. Also, their custom emojis are displayed very large on other instances. This is a technical issue that will eventually be fixed.
Of the major instances, Lemmy.world, lemmy.ca, feddit.de, and beehaw.org have defederated hexbear.
SJW, Lemm.ee, and lemmy.ml are still federated with hexbear.
I hope we can all get along, but obviously that's not going to be the case. I recommend that users from either server make use of the block function as necessary. More importantly, don't intentionally go to communities on the other server and attempt to antagonize them because you have a differing political stance. Some political debate is well and good, but there is a time and a place, and if you're not sure, it's probably best to keep it on your own server.
We will be banning hexbears liberally if they come in here trying to start shit, and their admins will do the same regarding our users. Pun intended.
Bottom line: we will not be defederating from hexbear in the immediate future. I personally believe they are a valuable asset to this platform, and I urge you all to give them a chance to contribute positively. If you find them annoying, just block them and/or report them; they are subject to the same rules of conduct as everyone else.
Please direct any comments and concerns to this thread, or to the Agora.
Wow. This is a Mastodon account posting to Lemmy and we are getting cross platform engagement and it's all working pretty seamlessly. This is the first time I've seen this kind of thing on Lemmy. The Mastodon users don't get to see the upvotes though, right? The @ thing when they reply is kind of annoying but it seems like a fairly easy fix to hide those when browsing from Lemmy.
Welcome, this vote will determine which image we use for our banner image for sh.itjust.works. The discussion thread is in the Agora, and was also cross-posted to ImageAI

Yeah I must confess I recently went over there and agitated them a bit. I just wanted to see what their deal was because I saw a few of them over here.
TLDR they are basically like r/thedonald, libertarian types. Use slurs as a badge of honor. Angry, sad people. Fully in favor of defederation. But I get that it's early days, and defederation is a sensitive topic. I just don't see any path to that server becoming something of value that I'd want to interact with.
You can message any Lemmy account the same way, click the Send Message button on their profile.
Being a mod on Lemmy is much more about actively and consistently posting good content and building a community. And you don't really even have to be a mod to do that.
We would need actual historians to get a good askhistorians community going. And similarly we'd need interesting people who are willing to do an AMA for c/ama. Just imagining it doesn't make it happen.
