Communities cannot be fully “deleted”.

They can only be “deleted” in the sense that they disappear for everyone.

You, as a mod, can still see and restore the community. To get rid of it from your list, you’d have to be unassigned as a mod. I don’t think that’s possible if you’re the only mod in a community.

And if they’ll eat it.

Mine slurps up half of the gravy, and then shows absolutely no interest in the solid food.

He was a rescue, so I didn’t get decide what he got used to eating.

Edit: I was not asking for advice. You are not giving me new ideas. The boy is over 10 years old at this point, the transition to wet food has been attempted a couple times, with veterinary advice.

He was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure in december, when he stopped eating even dry food. He is now on a veterinary diet to extend and make the remainder of his life comfortable. As such even fewer options are available. The wet versions of the special foods were tried, but especially considering his condition, he must eat, and do so regularly.

Stalk active users and see where they post.

They are right about the drama. Making the toy act like it’s trying to hide/run for its life makes my cat immediately interested.

Sometimes.

In my experience though, services will use language along the lines “the password can’t be the same as your last password” but if you set a random password temporarily, you then still can’t set the password to the one you wanted. Meaning they are checking earlier passwords too.

In fact I have yet to come across one where you can re-use password by first setting it to something else. Have you?

I think most developers just assume people aren’t going to even try old passwords, only the most recent one.

That is a possibility. But then actually setting a completely new password shouldn’t work, yes? Because when you go to use it, it won’t work.

I doubt that’s the “more likely” scenario.

Tons of people have reset a login more than once, and then forget, which is what leads to this scenario.

When they forget the new password, but re-remember a previous one, they try to use it to log in. When that fails, they go to reset it again, and they try to set it back to the password they remember. Which doesn’t work, because it is a previous password. But at the same time it is also not the current one.

The supposed catch 22 is that if it can’t be their new password, it should work to log in. And if it can’t be used to log in, then they should be able to set it as their password.

In reality the password has already been used, but before a previous reset. So it is neither a valid new password, nor the current password. This does not occur to people.

This can happen in any correctly configured service that prevents password re-use, and is therefore the far more likely scenario.

This happens because you’re trying to re-use a previous password, which is not necessarily the current password.

The new password can’t be same as any of your previous ones.

What?

The last one is like the only one me and my friends get up to.

Oh man! You just put to words why I couldn’t stand Breaking Bad, and Boardwalk Empire.

I watched the first simply because a lot of people love it, and I try to watch everything that seems worth seeing. The second I saw some clips from that I really liked, but then I just didn’t stick with the actual show.

In both cases, the series left me on constant edge, in a really bad way.

Now I realize that I kept waiting for the shows to grant me some kind of catharsis, but it just never happened. Or it happened rarely and in ways that quickly gets brushed away as inconsequential.

Oh hell yeah, doing it right now, too!

Smh. Right doesn’t show off those abs nearly as well.

Worse, he chooses to make it orange with spray-tan.

Something something fuck Ted Faro

This is already a thing. Here is what I see on subordinate mods in communities I created.

Fair.

It does make for a much more compelling allegory for society, as much like prison, it’s really hard to “exit” society.

While opting out of moderated social media is not difficult at all.

Right. Then I’ll just open up your banking history here on lemmy…

Oh wait.

And words have meaning. You can’t just point to their etymology and claim they can be used to refer to everything you consider slightly related.

The fact is, the word panopticon has very specific meaning, and specifically refers to prisons. And you didn’t even get it right. The original concept doesn’t involve constant surveillance, but the possibility of constant surveillance.

Otherwise every single room with someone wearing sunglasses in it, would be one, because you can’t tell whether that person might be looking at you at any given moment.

No. It’s a prison.

Moderated social media is not a prison. Lemmy does not make your financial history public. It does not make your whatsapp, telegram or signal messages public. It does not point a camera at your physical body for all to view at all times.

A panopticon is a prison model where surveillance is possible at all times, and nothing is private.

Moderated social media, is not a prison, and is not mutually exclusive with 100% private conversation outside any given platform, between any two individuals, or within any given group of individuals.

The reason PUBLIC forums need to be moderated is that otherwise they devolve instead of develop conversation.

In the private sphere, the equivalent action taken to mediate conversation is the ability for you to simply stop conversing with a given individual, or for a group to ostracize individuals that sabotage discourse.

Once you reach a group of large enough size, ostracizing no longer works, and you individually blocking someone does not prevent them from derailing topics for everyone else.

Are you sure you’re not just getting back what you’re putting in?

My experience has been so completely opposite, I simply have to assume we are using the platform in some fundamentally different way.

What communities are you frequenting?

The ones I sub and post to have been nice.

We sure did, others have already commented.
