For some reason I thought of Critical. The YouTuber. Charlie? penguinz? Or whatever the fuck he calls himself these days. Then I remembered he doesn’t sing…

Its a world where the clean up of souls is differed to designated souls who for one reason or another can’t pass on. These souls are given a new body and are assigned to a cell to replace the one who reaped them. They are told a location, a time, and a name. And have to find the person about to die and pull the soul out before they are killed, else the soul brings the trama of death over with them. In the protagonists case she is put in the “freak accident death” group. Which reap people who are indirectly killed by demons mostly. It’s forbidden to reach out to your family for obvious reasons, but due to her mother HATING the word “moist” and considering it a sex slur, she leaves behind a message saying just that and the mother instantly catches on.

I love that show. I just started rewatching it, after rewatching Coupling. Giving me all the nostalgia.

when I say ‘fediverse’ people think I’m saying ‘fetiverse’ and sometimes they ask if it’s like open source fetlife. 🫠

Better than people assuming it’s a joke about it being full of feds, which I’ve seen before.

In my native language, fediverse translates to “fédivers” which sounds like “faits divers” the “incidents” or “'news briefs” section of a journal.

When I mention the Fediverse to my gf she thinks I am talking about the “Fedeverso” an allusion to “Fedelobo” a Mexican YouTuber who looks a lot like a lot of Mexicans (hence the “Fedeverso”) I don’t blame her lol.

I confess that it is always odd to see a musician, now deceased for a decade, when searching for this platform. Mind you, that is an ongoing tribute to their legacy, which is how it came about.

In a 2020 post, Lemmy’s co-creator Dessalines wrote about the origin of the name Lemmy. “It was nameless for a long time, but I wanted to keep with the fediverse tradition of naming projects after animals. I was playing that old-school game Lemmings, and Lemmy (from Motorhead) had passed away that week, and we held a few polls for names, and I went with that.”

What’s holding it back is not having a button to filter out all the US drama. Eternity had it, but that app isn’t working anymore.

Hmm so use it in the browser? Lemmy has a pretty terrible web UI, like forgetting where it was when I press back.

I’ve just looked at Jerboa, Voyager and Raccoon and none of those have content filtering.

It does? It hasn’t had an update in 5 months and that’s how long it has been broken I’d say. I guess the f Droid version is out of date then. Thx!

I think Eternity requires an instance to be running v19 of Lemmy, and Beehaw stopped at 18.x, so that’s why it doesn’t work.
