I left /c/Risa because the moderator there was letting his own personal feelings color rules, removing posts that violated no clearly written rules, and creating new rules without even running it past the community or asking how they feel about it.

The moderator of this community is guilty of that same behavior.

I'll be over on [email protected].

Crows are the best bros

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Step 1: put a coin down in front of you

Step 2: open up a pastry

Step 3: wait for a crow to arrive

Step 4: take the coin and give the crow a bit of pastry

Step 5: repeat steps 2-4

Cool, stay over there.

I've been feeding my local crow family, unsalted roasted peanuts almost every day for two years now. They know me and come flying over whenever they see me walk outside my house, sometimes they even follow me home in my car or on my bike. They've never brought me shit, ungrateful little bastards.

Well have you ever asked for anything?

I thought it was a Grackle.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Don't start.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

I think he just proposed to you. You're obligated to help it build a nest, now.

Congratulations on opening your first restaurant!

Could you share more about what the mods are doing?

While I think it's better to discuss rule changes ahead of time, many communities are in early stages and are being built up as we go.

In that case it's still worth discussing the rule changes after they happen. You're free to use whichever community and not say anything, but it helps to share what you don't like so others can weigh in (and maybe change unpopular rules)

I just realized that this stamets guy posts like 17 posts at once (exactly the same time) every day. I dont think we need something like that.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Stamets provides a lot of the content on the startrek.website server, and apparently beyond. They're very active and I appreciate what they do fwiw.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I provide zero content on Startrek.website. I left that server a few months ago and migrated to lemmy.world. I haven't posted to any startrek.website community since November. I even deleted my startrek.website account. If you're looking for Star Trek based memes though, check out [email protected]

Thank you though. Seriously <3 Can't take too much credit though, I just post stuff I have saved.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Oh sorry for the fake news then. I'm out of the loop. I've seen your username a lot in the past and assumed. I knew you'd left Risa, I didn't realize it was the whole startrek.website. Sorry it came to that, I appreciated your content! 😁

I can't believe this! I've been feeding starlings near me with bits of Greggs baguettes and pastries.

Have I received a stone?

Have I bollocks!!

Selfish little bastards - I'm going on strike. No more will they take advantage of my altruistic nature!

I thought I was building an army of starlings! Instead I've been taken for a fool!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Starlings don't give presents. They just want to go for a car ride.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

I don't think starlings give gifts.I could be wrong tho.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

You should chew off some of your toenails for them. Don't be stingy.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I hate starlings with a passion. Sorry but they are beating out a lot of my local song birds.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

They're only even in the US because of Shakespeare smh

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

They've taken over a lot of niches in North America.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago
