  • My oldest account is at 9 years 10 months at the moment. Was a lurker for a time before that too. I haven’t deleted my accounts out of concern of my comments reappearing, but I’ve kept any interaction with that site at a minimum.

    Most of the time, I just check to see if any comments resurfaced, or if I’ve got a love letter from the admins. Neither has happened so far, but I’m not sure it won’t happen. Until then, I will keep scrubbing my accounts.

    I don’t see myself returning there. I’ve lost any desire to do so, and my old, yet scrubbed accounts will serve as a reminder never to interact with that site ever again. Peek, if I must, but never interact.






  • If you’ve got a way to access your user profile via a browser (mobile works too), you can see your saved posts there.

    On any page, click/press the hamburger icon on the top-leftmost part of your screen. It’d open up a menu (or an area) where you can see your profile picture and username at the very bottom. There’s a triangle next to your username, click/press that.

    Another menu/area opens up that has options “Profile”, “Settings”, and “Logout”. Click/press “Profile” to see your user profile.

    You’re then taken to a different page (which you can directly go to via https://your.lemmy.instance/u/your_username, for example:‌‌‌ https://lemmy.world/u/AllGoesUpMustGoDown). There, you can choose between “Overview”, “Comments”, “Posts” and “Saved.” That last link (to your saved posts/comments) won’t be visible to others (I tried).

    PS: I tried looking for the same in wefwef, but I can’t find it as well.

    PPS: Weirdly enough, it might be faster to just go directly via the address bar of your (mobile) browser if you know what you’re doing, lol!


    Edit: Typos and shit. Added PPS part.










  • I use adblock (uBlock origin) because the internet is nigh unusable otherwise. It’s incredibly risky (even irresponsible) to not have adblock turned on given the danger of malware, or malware in the guise of advertisements. However, I’d whitelist sites that are decent about it–though in practice, I find it risky to temporarily disable my adblock just to test things, much less to whitelist them.

    Most of all, there are other, better, ways to support content creators in the internet.






  • The 2003 FMA anime was created back when the manga is still being published, and started to drift away from the manga such that at the anime’s midway point, it’s following a different storyline. Some plot points and characters are changed as the anime overtook the manga. Ultimately, it’s a different story as opposed to the manga and Brotherhood.

    However, I like how the pacing is a lot slower, allowing me to get more invested and interested into the characters. It’s not as fast-paced as Brotherhood, and it’s a lot darker. There’s just something really somber about the entire thing that I can’t put my finger on.

    I watched it on cable TV back then, but I think there are some sites still carrying it if you know where to look.

    As for One Piece, thanks for the advice! I’ll go do just that once I have the time (to watch the first half–or I can just go full manga). I don’t think you’re proselytizing than you’re just excited to talk about something you’re really into, which is nice.
