Ask Lemm.ee

Ok so I watched this video and it actually did a really good job at explicating the context of the crusades in ways that a lot of school history readings didn’t for me. I've been notified that the channel is apparently a MAGA pipeline, and I don't necessarily endorse all views held in that channel, but I had to admit: it was refreshing seeing the Crusades explained through a rational, realist lens rather than just chalking it up to "evil bad man kill nice foreign people". And it got me wondering: does anybody here know any good books or book series on ancient European history - the Crusades, the Inquisitions, etc. - that don’t use objectivity as a facade for bashing Western culture? Like, books that use realism and rationality to explain the choices made and provide context into them? I'm looking for stuff as comprehensive as possible. I’m thinking something similar to Shelby Foote’s Civil War trilogy but with European history. Fairly detailed, objective, etc. Thanks in advance!

Got a burning question you want to ask someone from the US like "Why is the imperial system superior" or "Why is Texas"? Join us over at [email protected] ([email protected] for the mbin users) and find out the definitive answer. You can also just chat if you don't have questions, because this is the land of the free and there are no laws 🇺🇸🦅 (there are actually, please be nice)

That site allowed musicians to create and upload music and then other musicians could rate, critique, and collaborate on said music. You could even download tunes and I've got SO much great music still on my phone from those artists. And, it was a fun, supportive community.

I apologize for spamming all the Ask Lemmy communities. I can delete if desired. Or, post in a more appropriate community.

Original title: What do you take more time with when creating a new forum/social account, or character (in a story/game), name or avatar/appearance selection/creation?

As the title says, I want to find out the Lemmee Instance Im in, cause I want to sign in to an app.

New streamer/YouTuber and wanted to ask how I can grow my audience on the platform?

Does doing tags in descriptions help?

Any help would be appreciated.

It always has to have the last word. always. Do you say bye and close the window before it can respond? haha

New cell site being installed on top of new power utility poles almost right outside my living room window. Is there any reason to be concerned? Or should I be excited for faster 5G speeds?

Whether it's hiking, driving, or roaming around a new city, would love to read your tales of disorientation!

Religious folks have churches/temples/etc. for regular gatherings, but I'm not aware of what might be similar for secular folks for regular meetups or gatherings (i.e. not profit-driven, etc.).

Community centers & libraries, maybe?

Ngl a good cherry popsicle is kinda sick.

Basically the title.

Tell me about everything you hope makes the jump from Reddit to Lemmy.

Hey people, I'm loving Lemmy and I've become a evangelizer to friends. I think reddit and Twitter are going to be completely replaced in the mainstream by their Fediverse-counter parts, and we'll all be much happier (minus maybe 2 people). But I think back to last big reddit controversy when Voat was floated as an alternative to reddit-- I hardly used it, I came right back to Reddit because that's where the good content was. I hope the majority of our former reddit comrades join us in the Fediverse, at least eventually... Either way, I'll never be going back.
