  • I turned off the you-filter so I can show you how easy it is to filter out whatever you like, be it whole instances, communities, or users.

    spam is whatever an individual deems it to be. if 90% of posts from the last week are from one user, I call that spam. I don’t want “content” for its own sake. I prefer quality or originality over quantity.

    side note: reddit stomped the individualism out of their users, the very source of their success. like others have said here, I’m not interested in seeing posts from there copied to here.

    I’d like to see more engagement and interaction on here, I want this place to grow, but I also don’t want this place to only try to imitate the reddit board. I’m sure I come across as ‘old man yells at clouds,’ that’s fine, whatever. however, I think most people here would agree that there needs to be a balance. why even come here, if everything is copied and regurgitated from reddit?









  • loving this thread here and (most) everything in here! as a tiny ass farmer, that shit doesn’t surprise me. I’ll try to keep this comment specifically focused on an issue we’ve had with “farmer’s” markets:

    used to sell at a couple of em before covid, since then, we only sell on-site at our little shop. one of the larger, better markets a few years back starting letting this distributor begin selling at market, masquerading as one of us. they even wore fucking shirts about promoting local blah blah. they weren’t from the area, they buy up bulk stuff (often not in season), then set it out in these pretty baskets like they just got done harvesting it that morning.

    people would line up to buy their shit, while the 4-5 actually local ops that are honest and give a shit had to stand by and watch. tried to get the market organizer to care, of course they didn’t. but, hey, people can take pics of their brave treks to the Local Farmers Market to post on the socials, so they can hear how great they are at supporting small businesses.

    if I sound bitter, it’s only because I kinda am 😂 carry on, love y’all who look below the surface and go out of your way to build community!


  • two of the losingist teams ever.

    one helmed by the QB that the browns threw away, shortly after not only making the playoffs, but beating a divisional rival, at that!

    the browns have never been to a super bowl. well, when moved to Baltimore in the '90s, and then won one… then about a decade later these “new”-browns won another… led by Joe Flacco.

    there are many interesting stories with each matchup every year. but this… it being a possibility not in week 10 or 11, but in the playoffs! it’s fucking transcendent, imo.
