ich_iel carries like one whole third of my lemmy experience and I don’t even know German.
Hahah, I’m german and I’ll check it out.

Oooh! That’s interesting!
But, and this is a “just me” thing, I’ll skip it because I feel that a reasonable part of the charm I feel towards ich_iel is precisely that I don’t know German. :p
A huuuuge thank you also to @anon6789@lemmy.world for all these superbowls! Your posts are a true blessing!
For me, ever since I’ve been here, all those adorable owls have always been a symbol of what’s wonderful about Lemmy.
Everyone’s support and encouragement has meant a lot. If I wouldn’t have become a poster here, I likely never would have pursued working with owls, but thanks to you all, I worked with a Screech Owl and 3 Great Horns yesterday, along with 4 Red-tailed Hawks, 2 Red Shouldered Hawks, and a bunch of opossums and squirrels.
You guys listening to me and encouraging me to keep sharing gave me the push to go and volunteer, and my life has been so much richer getting to work with so many amazing animals and fellow animal rescuers.
And our lives are made richer by your presence here!
Super happy for you!
I’m glad you all still enjoy what I share! I had assumed you all would have been bored ages ago. 😄
Aww, I’m so happy to hear that! I wish you all the very best, and thank you so much once again for letting us all be a part of this—even if it’s just in a very small way.
If anyone is ever interested in volunteering, I can answer many of your questions! Most things you’d want to do have a very low barrier of entry.
I’m already thinking about anything more I could do. Those little creatures are so majestic and useful, and some species could use some help in my home country, too. It’s truly commendable that you’re standing up for them and raise awareness. We need a lot more people like you—then the world would be a much better place. But hey, you’re showing us how we can all do our part.
Here in Germany, there are various professionals who are employed and mainly funded by the government, but if I ever have to deal with owls myself I’ll get in touch with you right away.
I joined my local nature conservation a years ago, and you definitely played a part in that. I only provide a little financial support, but maybe I can do even more—besides following their very helpful recommendations for protecting nature (which is why I now only grow wildflowers on my balcony for example).
That is excellent what you are doing! Anything helps so much.
I don’t know how things work in Germany, but I took a quick look at the references in the c/superbowl sidebar and we have 2 lists of rescues in Germany.
I pulled up a random one and checked their “Support” menu and saw volunteering right away.
Ehrenamtliche Mitarbeit Insbesondere am Wochenende fehlt es an Unterstützung in der Tierpflege. Selbst, wenn jemand nur ein bis zwei Stunden Zeit hat, ist das eine große Hilfe. Vorkenntnisse sind dabei nicht nötig. Zu den möglichen Aufgaben zählt neben dem Füttern von Jungtieren beispielsweise auch das Säubern der Volieren. Außerdem werden handwerklich begabte Helfende gesucht, die Reparaturen vornehmen können, Fahrdienste übernehmen oder die Futterwiese mähen.
Wer sich ehrenamtlich engagieren möchte, erreicht uns telefonisch unter info@wildvogelhilfe-rheinland.de. Bitte eine Nachricht auf dem Anrufbeantworter hinterlassen, damit wir uns zurückmelden können.

Volunteer work Especially on weekends, there is a lack of support in animal care. Even if someone only has one or two hours to spare, it’s a great help. Previous knowledge is not necessary. In addition to feeding young animals, the possible tasks include, for example, cleaning the aviaries. In addition, talented helpers are needed who can carry out repairs, take over driving services or mow the feed meadow.
If you would like to volunteer, you can reach us by phone at info@wildvogelhilfe-rheinland.de. Please leave a message on the answering machine so that we can get back to you.
You’re the best! Unfortunately, the Rhineland isn’t in reach for me, but I’ll look around (nothing listed for my zip there atm). I had no idea that they were actually looking for volunteers here, too.
Thank you so much for the info. I’ll check those links regularly now and get involved if something pops up that’s even somewhat close to where I am. If I come across any other sites during my research that might be interesting, I’ll let you know.
I help where I can!
Link1 is broken down by zip code and the second lists the cities where they are. I just picked on at random since I have no clue where you are. 🙂
I was surprised when you said there was funding, since to my knowledge no rescue gets public funds anywhere. The one I picked randomly did talk about some type federal volunteer internship, so it does sound like there is some type of public partnership there, but I don’t want to give advice based on translations.
It would be exciting if you got to find something. I lucked out having a place about 20 minutes from me. We have a lot of people coming from about an hour away.
People who upvote and leave comments also hold up the fediverse!
Not gonna lie, those who comment and argue and debate are heroes…
Awe shucks 😅
Noo fuck AI.
I can’t wait for Lemmy v0.20 so we can block this garbage.
Yeah. I hate content too.
/s
Low-quality, mindless meme content, yes. It rots your brain. You should stop consuming it.
Meanwhile you’re on here doing the same thing I am.
Am I? What is it that we’re both doing?
I’m not bitching about it.
So you hate original content lemmyers put effort into (discussion posts, memes, photos) and praise the laziest form of content (reposting articles someone on another platform made)? Do you want lemmy to become a parasitic platform depending on content from elsewhere to sustain itself?
discussion posts, memes, photos
These are not remotely equal. Low-quality, mindless meme content rots your brain. You should stop consuming it and start downvoting it.
Calling articles “lazy content” is extremely unintelligent. I’m disgusted that you should say that.
The “original content” you refer to is often screenshots of social media posts and reposted memes.

This is such a bizarre thing to say. Reddit and Lemmy are link/news aggregators. Their whole benefit is being a single site where people can share & discuss news, instead of having to visit a dozen different websites every day. Reddit started to promote low-quality meme content, which massively degraded the quality of the platform. It’s extremely disappointing to see people on Lemmy promoting it as well.

Reposts, not articles themselves. Reposting someone else’s writings from the web as a link is objectively low-effort work that could be handled by a dozen-line script.

Maybe they started as such, but now it’s a small part of their scope. I don’t perceive them as such, rather as a general-purpose forum. I go to Lemmy/Reddit to ask a question (e.g. how to repair a thing), voice an opinion, start a debate, talk about stuff, read comics, etc. I don’t recall following a single community that is about link aggregation.
No no no you don’t get it. Lemmy should be what THEY want it to be, not what everyone on Lemmy collectively makes it. Anything otherwise is wrong simply because one bloke online is very certain it rots your brain.
QED

I don’t know what you’re referring to. Copy-pasting content instead of linking directly to the source is frowned on for numerous reasons.

Sure, that’s a secondary and perfectly valid use. The OP of this thread posted an image promoting memes. That is what I criticized.

Pasting a link is even easier than pasting text.

So, no more memes on /c/memes@lemmy.world?
Secondary use according to whom? Who made you the arbiter of Lemmy’s ‘one true purpose?’
Dude just make your own space and moderate it accordingly. It will be empty, but at least you’ll be happy.
No thanks. All I need to do is wait for the next Lemmy update. Then I’ll be able to block all the low-quality garbage.
That article was so conflated and entirely waffle, I couldn’t read it. It doesn’t offer science behind brain rot. I think it’s ok for you to have an opinion for yourself on what brain rot is, absolutely, but when you start going warmonger on it, you should really make sure you have more science to give you an understanding and ability to communicate your opinions with more clarity.
There is science out there, but not in the way you might be thinking, based on some of your opinions expressed here. Brain rot isn’t going to be able to be avoided by curating the content, the effect of disassociation is caused by distraction, it could be argued any content caused that disassociative effect, which essentially sends your brain into a form of fight or flight, causing it to feel like it’s not safe to be here,( if I have to disassociate).
I don’t have any great articles to link at this time. But I would suggest it’s a personal balance thing. Taking the time to limit the time you spend on the internet, yourself personally, and just taking a moment to exist, just breathe and be, where you are, right now.
The more engaging and interesting posts will naturally float to the top. Maybe, you need to change your settings, or the app you use to engage if you are getting fed with everything as its first posted. I noticed an entirely different experience going from boost to voyager app.
This place isn’t about one person deciding for everyone, what is and should be, the antithesis of that is why this place exists, and I’m sure you’re noticing, you don’t have many people who agree with you. Maybe Either your delivery needs to change, when discussing your opinion, or your opinion itself, might need some expansion and nuance.
I just joined here :3
while Lemmy scratches my post reddit itch, this is one of the down sides. Everyone goes to Reddit, despite it being an AI Bot filled shit show, so you never get the same visibility. At least around here you get a better quality of poster, and you don’t need to select your words quite as much.
That’s the worst part of Reddit. The absolute toxicity and superiority complex you see in these giant subreddits. 1 wrong word and everyone comes after you based on 1000 assumptions from that 1 word.

Search engines direct you to Reddit as a first page - even first result - choice. It’s superceded Wikipedia in a lot of cases.
Which tells you organic human generated content is increasingly rare and here we are probably the last unpolluted corners of the human experience outside the non-online local experiences.

:-/ I seriously doubt that.
At some point, we’ll have to find a better way of sifting the wheat from the shit. But I’d be crazy to assume bots around bouncing around the Lemmiverse pushing misinformation just like they are everywhere else.
Better quality of poster? All of these memes OP is talking are just straight from Reddit.
I mean they actually have a brain and can use context clues. There’s also a rather high chance that someone you meet is an ACTUAL HUMAN.
It’s not that bad, Lemmy still has a long way to go if they ever want to be something close to an alternative.
All it needs to do is be true to the Left, comrade
I try to post more but I’m not imaginative enough to come up with ideas that often
First time scrolling this morning and I went to like this before realizing I already liked it from last night before bed…
Probably my larger issue with Lemmy as a whole. I work a job that has a lot of downtime but loud environments so my ADHD ass likes to just read content and comments since I need to pay attention to the noise around me. Then I get home and watch some TV or sports on my PC’s second monitor while I want to scroll content and comments (Been a forum user since I was 8 years old) and the repetition here can get a little off putting.
Don’t get me wrong I love it here. Beats Reddit. But still…
I quite like that it’s not an infinite firehouse of content - it means a limit to how much time I waste, unlike my Reddit days when I’d often block the site so I could get something done.
I have unending content and I block all the meme communities.
Hey, I try to argue with at least one person a day on here! I’m doing my part
no you aren’t
oh yeah? I argue with two.
Yeah? Fuck both of you.
Yea, I love it here
at least 1500 according to the votes!
Thanks for @totallynotjessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone posting some of the best memes I see.
Yes, but I provide witty commentary!
And I provide… commentary!
And my axe!
I provide provisions. TO THE WARFRONT! MARCH!
I provide snacks.
