  • Amazing car. A friend of mine has a Chevy SS that he changed over the exterior to all Holden badges. Gorgeous inside and out. It’s a shame they never intended to sell or even market these because they’re awesome.

    I’ve heard that if your car needs to run in the dyno with the hood open then the numbers you’re putting down are likely artificial (since that’s not how cars drive down the road). Make sure that shop isn’t just touting good numbers with the hood open. Hold them to the numbers you put out with the hood closed.



  • I don’t think it’s wrong to recreate a beloved community, and I think it makes sense to also populate it with content. I just think that posting a copy of Reddit is a problem, and automated posts too often are also not good. At that point you’re trying to force the community into existence rather than having it be organic. I think it’s okay to boost the community a bit, but not to try to make Lemmy the new Reddit.

    I will say that Lemmy in general seems very Reddit-like, which is what causes people to try to make Lemmy the new Reddit, so I’m not surprised that people are just trying to migrate subreddits to communities here. I think Lemmy needs a bit more of an identity to avoid that.









  • It’s not that Lemmy is defederating, it’s that Beehaw is choosing to block sh.itjust.works and Lemmy.world, which means those two are no longer able to federate to Beehaw, and vice-versa. So to that end, they’re defederating. Beehaw will keep federating content to other instances (like how I read this from FMHY, and am commenting from FMHY, which you can read).

    Hopefully that helps
