I am very confused by this new platform but I managed to bumble my way here from reddit. Hi DT! I missed you.
Finally figured out how to connect to the DT from lemm.ee.
Hi all. reddit/u/Secepatnya here -waves-
i was primarily a lurker and very rare contributor on the old DT but this place seems nice. hello! i thought i loved watching internet drama unfold but turns out not so much when it impacts the communities i frequent.
Stress leave letter achieved! Ya boy is laying low for a couple of weeks to gather his thoughts.
Good for you for asking (and getting)!
🖤
Nice! I asked for more time off yesterday as well to give me some more breathing space. Savings might take a bit of a hit, but I’m not going to be a good employee for another month or two at least.

Years ago, I would have been raging against the injustice of this bs. I guess I’m no longer in my youth, cause right now I’m more than happy sitting this one out and just watching from the side lines. Growing up feels strange.
I’m not supposed to drink coffee normally this month because it could stain my temporary veneers, so I’ve been drinking iced coffee with straws. Until right now. As I sit outside this Bourke Street cafe, headphones adorned, audiobook playing while I people watch; I have before me a large, perfectly hot Melbourne coffee. A beverage I have not put to my lips since the beginning of winter.
I’ll only have these teeth for 7 more days. Stain be damned.
Hey DT, nice to see you all 🥰 I have no idea what I’m doing!!!
I go to Coles because I love the joint. I love fucking searching for shit that should be there but it’s not. So I have to make a right hand turn into the carpark and there’s some wank coming out trying to make a right hand turn in to my street. He starts beeping. I wind down my window and yell “oi what are you doing mate. You’ve got a stop sign”. His arms start screaming at me. I let the dickhead go because I’m polite and he puts his foot down and nearly takes out the car travelling straight. Urgh fuck me.
I may or may not have bought myself a sausage roll on the way home purely so I’d have something warm in my hands
Unpopular opinion, but it seems like the mods little protest is working. Most members are pissed about all the Florida posts, 90% of the DT is people whinging about it. I don’t imagine anyone who stumbles across the sub now would want to stay
I wonder if it’s worth a few of us dropping into the DT to say where the real convo’s at. But I also don’t want all the Reddit drama to end up here so…
I have done that on a very limited basis, but it feels like I’m a cult member handing out flyers at a train station.
Bless you. 🙏
It feels a little that way - especially since I guess there’d be few people there now that wouldn’t know about this place. A lot of people have done what they could to bring the regulars in to this safer refuge, but if people don’t want to leave then no one can force them.
we promise to bring peace and love to your life
One bloke there seemed alright and was asking if there were still legends in the DT, so I let him know most of us have moved over here
Egh… just scrolled through some of the DT after posting. A few other regulars are there but holy fuck the trash seems to have blown right through the screen door.
i did that at breakfast but i don’t want to spam it. Would be nice if a few of us post at different times of the day
Cool - might jump in there now and give a casual reminder.
It’s brutal in there. I’ve been following the API drama, and I can see the mods point about the mod tools becoming inaccessible. but then also read that many tool may not be affected now because there’s a threshold that needs to be met to be charged, and most of the mod tools fall under it? (I could be mistaken). But I honestly cannot see how posting about Florida will get any meaningful interaction or concessions from Reddit. I mean how exactly is it supposed to help? So I think I’m also on the unpopular opinion that it’s just people having an arms crossed foot stamp with no real action plan in mind.

Pretty sure the goal is that it pisses people off enough that they leave Reddit. Then it’s technically not the mods forcing them off by setting the sub private, it’s the users deciding they don’t like the theme of the sub and choosing to leave. They seem to be removing links to other subreddits, but not to other communities on other platforms.
(The main thing that triggered this was that the Reddit admins sent the mods a message basically saying “open up now, or we will find someone who will”, but they also said mods are otherwise free to run the sub how they see fit)
Hmm I guess that means mods have given up a just want to burn the place down in retaliation. I don’t think it will work. The Melbourne sub might get snuffed, but reddit as a whole will live on just fine. There are lots of active big communities with heaps of users. It won’t really matter if a few of the smaller subs disappear.
It’s malicious compliance, subs were ordered to open so they are opening and participating in a way that’s still protesting.
all the above is good for me to know. I’ll just copy / dump all my comments and edit them later. The whole thing could self destruct pretty soon again

Cannings lamb rosemary and honey sausages, mashed sweet potatoes, greens, and honey carrot…
At Syd. airport and the plane is delayed to JK for 4hrs (so far).
In the lounge though so eating all their free croissants (not going to mention the liquor shelf)…
Ouch. make the most of it!
Please don’t eat the liquor shelf. It’s probably not good for your health.
Extra fibre. Good for one’s gut.
You know you must be getting older when you’re excited you stocked up on toothpaste that was on special at the chemist…(PSA: Oral B is only $2.49 at Richmond Traders Priceline today)
