Daily thread - Mid Week, Mid Winter
welp, if nobodsy else is going to post this, why not?
today is the winter solstice. sunrise where i am in regional victoria was at 7:32am, and sunset will be at sometime close to 5:10pm. this is the least amount of daylight we have for the entire year.
it's also negative 2 degrees here and my front lawn is covered with ice. why can't it rain? clouds are like a blanket keeping the place warm at night, and rainwater is warmer than the air at this time of year ...
admins, please be aware that r/ModCoord is now recommending people migrate to the lemmyverse
there's gonna be another influx of fugees from reddit this week. i noticed there's only about 350 people on this server .. pretty sure that's gonna change.
anyway, here's the modcoord link - https://old.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/14cr2is/alternative_forms_of_protest_in_light_of_admin/
lemmy had over 20 thousand new users signup in the space of a single hour a little while ago https://botsin.space/@threadcount/110567230856441064
it's going exponential
and now it's 5am and i am THOROUGHLY stoned. rest well, everyone! see you when the sky's a different colour
ahhh WOO HOO i gave my subreddit the two-weeks-notice that i'm quitting today. fuck that feels better, knowing that the endless toil is ending.
i'm gonna have a celebration and get baked
yo any aussie music promoters here? COME POST YOUR (australian) EVENTS
playing a gig with a band on the weekend? post it here.
going clubbing? post the flyer here
some big massive 3-day festival on out in some farmer's paddock? post that sucker here
know about a bush doof? you know what to do ...
tell them to write a sentence that contains the words they're, there, and their, and use all three of them in a contextually accurate manner.
that sounds fine by me. i think i might be running around like a decapitated chicken for the rest of the month seeing what needs to be done on which instance and all that, and i'm pretty sure Gigs will keep me busy once more people land in here
when has the narrative ever changed away from that attitude? look at how mutahar has acted - knowing that we're doing the right thing but still throwing as much contempt into everything as he possibly can. the only times that people side with mods is when we're taking enormous damage so that general users don't cop it instead, or if there's a power-mad despot who should never have control of anything larger than a toy train
yeh because this account can see everyone just like the reddthat account. go figure.
so what's the full specs of the machine? would building one of them and then running it at home from an NBN connection be viable, or would it lag to hell more than lemmy's world about 12 hours ago?
btw when it's time for money, i'll put one hand up and the other into my pocket. this is the sort of thing that i would be happy to fund.
lmao hell no, a dedicated munter never returns to the scene of the crime because getting locked up gets in the way of getting drunk and stealing some rich arsehole's tinny
oh, so they managed to get it off the concrete pillar that i had wrapped it around? good for them!
live gigs in australia
if it happens in Australia then it doesn't matter what type of gig it is - pup gig, club night, 3-day festival, or even an underground bush doof - this is the place to tell people about it
yeh i suppose that's a good starting point and i'd let someone know if it was getting too clogged. i doubt that is going to happen for a few weeks at the very least tho, and by that stage i will very likely be in a position to be able to build an instance of my own
yes, they would be focused on the various live music scenes that they represent. i think live events would be more important for the entertainment industry than genre-focused communities which could easily be covered in other instances. being more activity-based than interest, i believe that they would benefit from a uniquely australian position
aww, thank you for your concern, but i'm not being troubled by the insomnia in the slightest, and i do prioritise myself immediately after my son because i need to be fit enough to be responsible for him
need another junior mod?
i'm a single, stay-at-home insomniac parent so i'v got a ton of free time. bedtime is 2am and my alarm goes off at 7am. i can take orders.
totally your call. i'm another one of those reddit fugees and am winding up the communities that i mod over there in the next two weeks. if you're not interested then -thumbs up-
and if someone can tell me where the fuck my boat is ......
nah, crypto is smoke-and-mirrors and he knows that this isn't, so he's run away
community requests - live music (various)
the specific one that i'd be interested in modding would be "doofs" but there's also "festivals" and "clubs" and "gigs" because the four groups are, believe-it-or-not, quite diverse in tastes and would not be interested in going to each others' parties. also those groups are frikkin HUGE in reality, basically entire age cohorts. i'd be willing to mod them all or anywhere else you need until other people who want it more show up. i have experience modding, and even more being a junior mod who just takes orders and keeps their mouth shut. if i don't mod them, could you please create them anyway? any method of getting word out for gigs on the cheap is appreciated
could i at least have "reggae" as well as doofs tho? fucken love aussie reggae as well as dance
