Why is is such an issue for Kbin relative to Lemmy (like lemmy.world etc)? Are the larger Lemmy instances better funded or have better mod recruitment or is it a geographical thing?

I'm hoping mbin, the new kbin fork, receives more active development to fight this.

Eat nothing and stay still. No caffeine or anything like that. Take some Immodium

Edit: for real tho, y? You're not "PUNKDing someone or in the planning stage, are you?

Its coming, little buddy 🎃 u should, like, put out a table or stand you dont care about and put something "neat" for people and passersby to play with or check out.

Like a zen sand garden box thing, or build a giant one and let people know to feel free to engage with it and you won't send them away or something

When I bought my house a few years ago I was really excited to have trick or treaters. I'd been in apartments or dorms for the previous decade and grew up in a rural area so I'd never really gotten to go out myself, let alone give out candy to trick or treaters. I'd bought like 24 big candy bars and when I was putting up some decorations in my yard I got into a conversation with my neighbors about Halloween and asked them about how many trick or treaters they usually get.

They told me they thought they probably got around 200-300 the previous year. I thought they were joking but no, they were definitely not.

I planned to spend Halloween playing board games with a few friends and answering the door every so often to give out candy and see kids in cool costumes. But I bought waaaaaay more candy and it still wasn't enough.

I basically didn't sit down until we finally turned out the lights and hid for the rest of the night. There was a literal line of kids all the way down my driveway... multiple times throughout the night... Saw a couple fun costumes but a surprising amount of kids (especially around high school age) weren't wearing any costume at all. Just dragging giant garbage bags full of candy.

Even with my neighbors warning I was totally blown away. Completely outside my expectations.

I guess what I'm saying is that I wish I could share some with you.

Here in Australia it is rarer, and surprisingly early in the afternoon, but the only way your house gets a visit is if it is heavily decorated. Kids don't want to annoy neighbours not in on the fun. Make sure you dress up the house so they know to make a try.

They're powered by the blood sacrifices of wizards. The modern computing Era has put a real dent in the wizard population. Not many people are willing to talk about the problem. When I asked my representatives to place sane limits on licensed wizard hunting to preserve their population, I was basically laughed out of the room. It's a serious problem!

Great question, you really higlighted the problem. You already know the answer for this question and I believe that this is the perfect challenge for you and I think you are ready to be this project's manager. You have my full suport, just let me know before compromising any budget. Don't thank me for the oportunity, thank yourself for your proactivity.

The best horror film for Halloween isn't a horror film, exactly. It's a cartoon miniseries called Over the Garden Wall. We put it on for the Halloween party every year.

The Ring is more psychological but its the only vanilla horror I care for

Nightmare Before Christmas or anything Tim Burton, really

Beam Stoker’s Dracula by Francis Ford Coppola

Poltergeist 1 & 2 (originals)

Hellraiser 1 & 2 (originals)

...yes...

Do you buy good shit the first time around or do you—lets call it "economize"?

Because if it ain't broke, you're not supposed to take it apart and fix it.

Some people don't think their thoughts are good enough to warrant their own post. But they might be more receptive to making a comment.
