be me 3 years ago

16 years old

Not many friends.

Feel alone as hell, see everyone partying and shit and I'm sitting around at home.

Classmate at school talking about going out for a drive with friends.

Looks at me

"Hey anon! Your a funny dude, how about you join us"

Heart skips a beat, this is all I have ever wanted.

We go out eat some Chipotle, go too Walmart and fuck around there. Buy like 15 king sized kit Kats for shits n giggles.

Finally they dropped me off at home

I hate home, mom is terrible.

Obvious frown

Friendo looks at me "hey.. we'll see you around anon. You fit right in.

Smiled and nodded

Walked inside room and cried happiness cry.

I would say “Merry Christmas” is used more often here, but “Happy Christmas” is used a lot too. The Queen used to say “Happy Christmas” in her speech every year, which might have something to do with its popularity here? I didn’t know it wasn’t used in the US.

Another picture:

And a better shot of the yellow pin, since it's at a weird angle:

A yellow pin reading "Keep the feds out of our beds".

Link to the music video in which the jacket appears (albeit without the pins).

He definitely gets the seal of approval

Definitely doesn't deserve a permanent ban imo, I don't think they were trying to cause offence.

The modlog says it was the sh.itjust.works automod. The comment content didn't contain any keywords that could have tripped it, so I'm not sure why it would have been set off. Maybe the automod is set to permanently ban recently created accounts that have a significant number of downvotes.

Maybe Boost doesn't display that it's been removed? When a comment is removed, Lemmy stills sends the content of the comment to the frontend - it's up to your client to not display the content. The comment is definitely gone on the website frontend.

I didn’t remove it; the instance admins (the modlog says “automod”) did. They also got permanently banned from sh.itjust.works, apparently. I personally don’t think it was that bad - it sounds more like misunderstanding or ignorance than intent to cause offense. You’re welcome to look at the modlog to see what it said

It says "doesn't use the internet", not "can't use the internet". Whilst the internet has become more accessible over time through the use of screen readers etc, accessibility is unfortunately not considered a priority for many apps and websites. It's trickier to navigate the web as a blind person because websites are primarily designed to be looked at, not heard. It's not unreasonable that she might just not want to use it, even though she could learn to.

I'm aware of this - unfortunately, Lemmy doesn't allow transcription of the post image in this way, as it isn't part of the post body markdown. In Lemmy 0.19.4 or 0.19.5 (I'm not sure which) they added an actual alt_text field to posts for this (see here). Once sh.itjust.works updates to that version, I'll start using that field :D
