On the affirmative, ALWAYS check whatever advice you hear/read on the internet. Be ultra careful with your health and safety.
Dangling on a hyphen.

When you’re about to face a high risk, high reward situation, you should willfully, willingly start to hyperventilate, as this helps your brain …
NEVER take any stranger’s advice on the internet as credible without checking it with a specialist. This is especially true when said advice relates to your health and/or safety.
From the top of my head, I would name Okular. No other FOSS pdf reader is as complete and easy to use.
Emoji Dick is a crowd sourced and crowd funded translation of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick into Japanese emoticons called emoji.
At first I thought it was a minor thing. But it’s still down. Any news?
I really want to thank you for the levelheadedness you’re bringing in.
Perhaps that’s a learned behaviour from other networks where drama=engagement=upvotes. I don’t know. But reading your comment filled me with gratitude.
It’s reassuring to see these technicalities being taken for what they are. Different people have different needs. Understanding that makes respecting those needs something simple and natural. Each to their own, right?
tl; dr?
Thank you for your levelheadedness.
That’s the thing, right? Those giant networks’ admins surely know how inflated their userbase is. They surely know that a lot of the activity is bot faked/manipulated.
But since the end goal of those networks is generate traffic to sell something (ads, user data), they never purge the bots. They need fake engagement. They might even promote it. The human user is just being used (Cf. Stallman’s use of this term).
I want to celebrate two things. 1. Your awareness of the potential dangers looming over the fediverse. 2. Your proactive attitude curtailing the problem at its root. From one human to another, thank you!
How do you remove that? That being an almost endless pool of workers.

You’ll have to look for the ‘block community’ button. Depending on the UI you’re using, this can be in different places.
In Lemmy’s default UI, you first click the part under the title identifying the community under which it was posted. Let’s say it was posted under darkmemes@lemmy.world
. What you do is:
darkmemes@lemmy.world
;.
On a phone app, the process may be less cumbersome. On Thunder, an Android app, you just have to click and hold the post, wait until a menu appears, and then select ‘block community’.
We all have our bias. My lemmy is not like that. Which means you’re not curating your feed.
I block every community with content I’m not interested in. It works. My lemmy feed is very interesting.
Now that you mentioned, I remember seeing that Reddit’s alien balloons image.
Yours is waaaay cuter! I hope we get to see it more on lemmy.
I find useful not to think both myself or others as smart/not smart, but wise or wiser. Being smart is not always wise. Playing dumb may be wise at times. Wisdom goes way beyond smartness, as it’s a mixture of kindness, experience, sensibility, and virtue.
