There was a community on the old site called 196, where the only “rule” was that you had to post something before leaving. It leaked over here because of a few splinter communities here popping up on the All feed, but if you look closer most of those posts will be to various 196 communities.

In other words, it’s not actually an enforceable rule, just one of those social things that pop up.

I’m actually pretty interested in pixelfed, but for now I have three new social media I am trying to learn (kbin, lemmy, mastodon.)

I mostly have instagram as a means of communication with a few key people. It’s also kind of my anchor into “mainstream” social media.

I like microblogging but I prefer a text-first approach; I generally try to avoid using it other than as a messaging app. Lately I’ve been posting a lot on my side account (which is just pictures of my pet snails.) When I do scroll on my main I like my friends’ content (their selfies and art) and I follow a few of my favorite personalities as well (drag queens, local restaurants, Bake Off contestants, etc.)

I am on Instagram which quite frankly is more than enough for me, thank you.

If for example you’re on lemmyworld and they defederate from Threads, you won’t see any Threads content, even if you sub to people on, say, kbinsocial who boost Threads content.

If you view those same profiles from say, shitjustworks, and they haven’t defederated, you will see all of their content plus the Threads content.

Dating sucks. For every nice person you meet and make a connection of some sort with there’s three or four who drop off the face of the planet. I get it’s easier to just ghost but it’s pretty shitty. (And this is speaking as someone with social anxiety who has definitely ghosted before lol oops)

Built in HUD for sure. It would be great if I could just check how I’m doing like a Sim. I need an inventory. Let me change my party members

I am not a microbiologist. However I do know that bacteria are pretty resilient, and most pathogens and parasites can live for at least a few hours outside of a host. Plus your skin is really not all that smooth at a microscopic level, there are all sorts of little nooks and crannies to hold onto.

Drowning wouldn’t really be a concern for them, imo, but additives like chlorine are specifically meant to be disinfectants.
