I did not expect that

*gooderer

if i end up reccommending it i would:
Let them go through the communities i have on my account/suggest some from my list
Then go through the top communities
Then say that sorting by scaled is generally the best to get some diversity but also recent stuff
And then whatever comes up

I first read antifa and was a bit confused to bring the image into context

😆

I prefer waterfox but i normally use them booth as they are awesome (one just with the basic addons and the other with all the addons i want but they could break websites)

That image reminded me of the incident a few jears ago so i thought it was a repost but the article is from 2025.10.09

it feels like the best way to introduce them to lemmy is simply giving them an instance. No explaining just: here, that one has a funny name. take it and be happy
Probably still getting eyebrows later but sh.itjust.works, it really does (pun very intended)

Short version:

So it got public (or something) that a larger personality did go after a trans person and the bsky moderation team looked over it and decided to change the tos for them instead of a ban what would be appropriate as they threatened another user.
And like the entire black/trans/ally community got pissed and some part of them are now seeking new “lands”

About the Waffles: Charlie Kirk liked them so a lot of people wanting to align with him are posting a bunch of waffle pictures in solidarity
Connection to Bsky: i dont know. Its a new dogwhistle

I have 7 names and i never met someone with my “callname” (its one part of a double name) but i got close to meeting one.
I am pretty sure that my name is unique throughout history as the names are partly eurobean, partly jewish but also some rare.

The reason i have so much names is simple: my parents wanted their children to have choices as every child hates their given name
So we got a few legit ones we could choose from.
My older siblings got less and then gave me as much as possible because they thought i was going to be the last child. My younger sibling got “just” 6

We also had a few rules for the names:

• first name had to start with the first letter of my mothers last name (we got our fathers last name)
• we had to have a name that starts with the first letter of my fathers last name
• we all have the name of the “next best” (higher birthrate) deceased family member

For me its pretty fun to introduce with my full name as the faces stop getting more shocked after the fourth.
Its especially daunting for people who have like 3 and think they have a lot

I personally embrace having a lot of names
I use it to get a positive first impression
I haunt people with the idea that if they are mean to me i only react when they either call me by full name or that i assign a different name on each weekday that they have to use
Also i can annoy people filling out lists with “how much name do you need? just the first or complete or what?”

It has its drawbacks because in case my name gets shortened in databases it gets mostly shortened to the first and then i see others with 3 names or something where the complete name is in there

Also with bureaucracy even when its fun its taking time which is less bad for me because i got used to it but still a drawback.

But at least other people only reacted positive to the amount of names as long as they did not have to write them down
