This monkey-script is awesome: Lemmy Universal Link Switcher
It converts all links to your home instance (in your browser).
That’s true - Lemmy displays new comments above “top” comments, allowing them to be seen by everyone.
Yeah Open Source is the foundation, and the future!
Yeah - the name was changed from Limbo to Liftoff, but they kept the same invite code.
It is the correct link though - that URL is identical to the invite URL in the newest Liftoff welcome post.
- Go to the app store, and install the app called Test Flight.
- Then click this invite link (on your phone)
- Click 'Start Testing'
I agree, there is a time for purposeful sarcasm.
To me, it requires two conditions:
- A person has already expressed their real perspective to a specific ‘opponent’, and
- That specific opponent cannot see the hole in their own logic.
This Norm MacDonald radio clip is a good example.
He explains his true perspective, and only switches to sarcasm for one sentence (at 5:25), to show the opponent how she is being goofy [and it works].
His foundation of sincerity gives context to the sarcasm.
Conversely - nowadays - a common ‘communication style’ is to just spray aimless sarcasm at distant or imaginary foes,
which (to me) reflects a deeper cultural issue...
a hiding behind mockery, a suppression of real constructive bravery,
just dunking on one-dimensional charicatures of strangers (who might not actually exist).
[So I agree with you - there are times for purposeful sarcasm.]
This is a very short story about sarcasm:
Ted opposes racist rants.
Yesterday - Ted posted a few exaggerated racist rants (sometimes with the /s).
2,177 people saw Ted’s racist rants.
- 50% of them guessed he was joking.
- 98% of them would not have seen a racist rant yesterday, if it weren’t for Ted's little gag.
So the question is:
Despite the sarcasm... isn’t Ted just spreading more of what he honestly deplores?
Is Ted subverting his own integrity?
Why not say how we actually feel?
