I’m guessing people aren’t interacting with you because your tone makes it clear you aren’t looking for a conversation. Not everyone that disagrees with you is a bot. You’re type of “debating” is draining, don’t be a dick in how you ask and maybe people will be more open to explaining their position. Not everything is a fight.

The study says 34% of whole eggs tested positive for salmonella which is insane.

The CDC says 1 on 20 000. We use raw eggs in many recipes, lots of restaurants still make home made mayo. Not to mention the thousands who eat them raw everyday in smoothies like me. I pass an 18 pack of raw eggs in a week.

I’m guessing only certain strains of salmonella actually make you sick or the study is just shit because that’s the only way it makes sense.

Lemmy.world is the biggest instance by quite a bit. Anything it bans sees a sharp drop in engagement. It’s a death sentence to certain communities so there’s something to be salty about.

Just delete it and you will be fine. You can find it on Google images, it’s not a ultra virus that sends you straight to jail when the pixels hit your eyes.

The only way I can see it being a problem is if someone is running a whole community about it on your instance.

Yes, and after the 100$, they can listen to the radio. Op has a brick unless he pays more every month.

I am on that instance, that doesn’t change the thousands of lemmy world users who have stopped engaging with it. Even worst, I have to split my time between them, so I myself am engaging less with it even thought it was my first account.

I’m also not interested in having a dozen lemmy account and obviously neither are most folks. My viewing and commenting ends up being disjointed.

I’d like to watch lemmy as a whole grow, not just what the admins of lemmy.world deem acceptable to be mildly associated with. There was zero legal risk with being federated with dbzer0, a complete farce.

For all this talk about Reddit being shit, this is the exact kind of behavior that made it shit.

Holy fuck dude. How hard is it to understand that having one big lemmy instance and nothing else is just Reddit with extra steps. And if that instance just bans the other instance that compete with it, it’s just cementing it’s position.

If a community with only a couple thousand members sees a ban, 99% of its potential growth is killed the moment it loses exposure to the millions of Lemmy world users.

Right now, the admins of this instance choose which instance grow along side them. Their decisions should be critiqued when it’s the wrong one.

They don’t need your worship. The users create the content, they just picked a catchy name and got lucky enough to have their instance be the first in the list on the lemmy website when the migration happened.

Defederation coming from lemmy.world should be seen way more seriously and only done for the right reason, stop accepting it blindly as if you are twelve and the admin is your dad.

And again it’s not about me and switching instances. It’s solely about the exposure and force this place has now, and how it’s already being abused. There’s no just hoping on other instance and doing without when it has 1000x more members.

I’m one user, I’m trying to help Lemmy grow but all I have is an eye dropper to water the plant. Meanwhile, lemmy.world admins block out the sun when it doesn’t like a plant.

Obviously there’s something to be salty about. Your argument basically revolves around “if you don’t like, leave” which usually points to a problem actually being there anyways. I’m not here to argue, it’s just annoying when you affirmed you understand the salt but there’s no place for it because people can just leave. It’s a lot more complicated than that.

I keep saying it’s not about me as a user but about the admins of lemmy.world blocking out the sun for arbitrary reasons. I don’t even think you are reading any of my comments.

They shouldnt be reading and playing with things privately stored. Are they going to go through all my documents to replace any swear words? It’s completely inexcusable. Private doesn’t mean private until some big company asks about it wtf.
