Explanation: Saturnalia was an ancient Roman festival of merrymaking, where the social order was turned 'upside-down' in celebration of the liberty granted by Saturn. People exchanged small gifts, dressed in outlandish outfits, played holiday games, and drank and feasted to excess.

Emperor Julian was the last pagan Emperor of Rome, who attempted to enforce tolerance for all faiths in the Empire - something which the Christians, who had enjoyed ~50 years as an empowered minority with Christian Emperors persecuting their enemies, the pagan majority of the Empire, regarded as a great offense.

EMPEROR JULIAN GAVE US BACK SATURNALIA

I was there when they were invented, they were called mini-bowls. The marketing team didn't like it, though, so we had to rewrite all the clay tablets with 'spoons'. Which is a dumb name, for the record.

Mini-bowls, they were initially called

People remember names more than opinions. It wouldn't surprise me if this was still a net gain for the company.

Loneliness and/or a need for validation drives people to crazy things. From joining cults and extremist groups without a pre-existing history of relevant prejudices or preconceptions, to enduring abusive social circles. To, now, falling in love with chatbots.

Perfect pizza places never have good apps, though 😔

The best way to provide ! links that work for the most people is just to type them out as plain text, not as a hyperlink to anything.

Sorry, I'm used to Lemmy's markup, which automatically makes them a hyperlink. I imitated that without considering that it might be different on Piefed. I've got practices to unlearn, it would seem.

Moving to PieFed OK, but why everything to the one instance? Didn't we learn anything from having everything @world?

It would be one thing if this were several people moving their comms to Piefed.social, but it's literally just me. Piefed.social is still small, I don't think me moving is going to cause it to centralize, especially considering that there are other major Piefed instances already extant.

Decentralization should be done by different people and groups choosing different instances, but all of us federating with each other and participating in each other's comms; not in expecting one person to spread themselves over half-a-dozen different instances.

Sorry, they work on Lemmy. I'm not sure how to do markup for non-Lemmy instances yet, I'm learning.

Unfortunately, I'm entirely new to creating feeds, so I'm pretty limited in my ability to troubleshoot problems there.
