Daily Discussion thread - Lemmy.world

Thought we might like a discussion thread, otherwise god only knows were everyone is going to post their hot takes when rice inevitably signs later.

I sort of feel like we're missing the hot takes so... I really don't ahve an issue with chasing Castagne.

He seems solid, the Belgians still play him and literally no one has come out of the Leicester defence with looking good so I'm prepared to say it might not be his fault.

Remember Ramsdale was relegated twice.

I trust in eduteta tbh, they've learned it; plus our last belgian went well and Stuivenberg has coached Castagne also
Airpod albert also coached a certain belgian midfielder we eventually had to loan out though...
I think Lokonga is still gonna be good, we just improved faster than him unfortunately. You don't get made captain at 21 if you're not good. Hoping we send him on loan again next season to get regular game time.
also that's after we signed him, not before lol; Airpods had Castagne at Genk
pretty sure albert had him somehwere in belgium?
Not at least looking at wikipedia, Sambi came here straight from Anderlecht
Fair enough, I withdraw my baseless accusations against APA
Clearly Kompany as a City legend told us to sign him to sabotage our title run /j Sambi's gonna be pretty decent and I'll be surprised if he doesn't become a significant part of the Belgian national team eventually, just not yet
He needs a step up season for that and so far he hasnt. Maybe a loan to Burnley
Good luck remembering to do this daily until we get bots

I have a secret weapon.

If I forget I'll just blame the mods for not automating it...

Also it should probably be at a better time than just 'I'm awake and we don't have one yet

look, c/football's transfer news is coming from "I'm awake and this is not up yet" so

True although I doubt much is being broken at half past two on a monday morning in the UK.

Unless we're getting our links to random brazillians agan

I'm back in Hong Kong for the summer hols but that means UK afternoons aren't gonna be posted on time haha; hoping other people help out.

Jealous, enjoy all the dim sum.

Always a weird one as to when the DD thread should be posted, I know spurs do theirs at midnight

Personally I like the way r/soccer did it which is having it move an hour every day so it starts at a different time each day with threads lasting for 23 hours.

also yes the dim sum :D its good to be home again, though the heat........

undefined> though the heat…

It's pushing 30 degrees in london and we don't do air conditioning...

I mean the aircon is nice as fuck but you can't get any outdoors, the heat index thing cuz of the humidity and stuff is making it feel like 38 degrees according to the weather channel rn lol
Doont miss the humidity but at least you can escape it inside, london heat follows you...

Fair enough

光復香港

My chinese is basically nonexistent as I haven't lived in HK for over 30 years and even then it was basically dim sum based but I'm pretty certain I recognise that one and I fully agree.

Is there a r/sino on here yet....

I made a c/HongKong, havent seen a sino lol
If this gets popular, I'm betting it will change!
Given that sino was extremely pro China I think I'll pass lolololol

It's a fun place.

Has issues with the fourth of June and 1989 for some reason

Did you mean the 35th of May?
Rofl, hadn't heard that one.
Probably 8-9am bst/gmt I reckon. That's when rumours start flying around.
What are you up to in HK? I've been a couple of times, but not post covid / gov ending freedom - has it changed much since 2018?
Just home visiting friends and all that for the summer hols, back from freshman year at university. It's nice to be back, and as my favourite joke goes: can't complain.
Just got on here cause im an addict for arsenal news and discussions, anyone got a guide on how to use activity pub to browse and post comments on this community using mastodon?

@vizhal007 @Mijn_Bergkamp it's a bit janky. You find the community by entering [email protected] into the search box on mastodon, then following it.

You then see what's posted in your feed, and can reply to individual posts or their replies. You can't post on lemmy (as far as I can tell) from mastodon.

Happy to see the community adapting to Lemmy, lets make this community (sub?) thrive during the blackout!

Anyway, Rice? Always rated him.

Honestly, I hope it thrives after the blackout. I plan on staying for a while. Reddit just rubbed me the wrong way with all their profit chasing.

Anyway, Rice? Great with some curry.

@Mijn_Bergkamp watching reddit go dark in real-time: https://reddark.untone.uk/
Reddark

An open source website to watch subreddits going dark

Interesting, thank you
It's where everything went when Tumblr died lol
The API changes hit NSFW subs the hardest because third party apps will no longer be able to show NSFW content even if they pay the fees.
Didn't they learn from Tumblr what happens if you hurt the porn?
Ironic that /r/amitheasshole didn't go private because that's 100% an asshole move
How much do you reckon the user count can go up today / tomorrow with the blackout? Can we get to 500?
The problem is that unless people saw the post about Lemmy prior to the blackout, it's not likely that they'd find it on their own... I don't think we're going to see a huge growth spurt over the next few days
I think the existing posts are still up there, but yeah unless it was stickied, no one will notice it
I went to the stadium / armoury yesterday to get the new shirt and decided to get the champions league patch on it to celebrate being back after so long out... terrible choice - the queue for shirt printing was over half an hour, they'll definitely have more staff working it when the season starts, but be prepared to wait if you want it done in person!

I'm at the point with transfers that if Edu and Arteta want a player, then that is good enough for me. They have picked out enough talent and made some great signings that I'm happy to just let them do their thing without getting stressed about who/when we should buy.

And anyone who does sign for us, I will cheer and back them 100%.

We've consistently had more hits than misses at this point. Even the misses we might be able to offload and break even. The better the team does, the more it affords us to have a few duds here and there.
kinda funny how small the spurs community is
What else do you expect?
Whys the banner full of players who aren't at the club, needs to be changed
Howdy fellow ex-redditors. Wondering how many of you I recognise from the sub...
Dunno what you're talking about, we're all new here....

Well your name certainly doesn't ring any bells..../s

How are you liking this? Apart from it being noticeably quieter?

Sorry, real life rather rudely intruded oday and I haven't got a Lemmy app.

It's not as slick as reddit but as I still mainly use old reddit it's not too different.

It really shows that for all Reddit tries to make things look cool and add paid for content, what actually makes it special is the amount of people using it. If everyone from r/gunners was on here there's really no reason not to stay here and let reddit die.

Your username makes me think I am talking to a hearts fan
It's a low effort nickname but I will explore my accidental connection
Got a brand new username, treating it like a fresh new start lol
Same, my old one used to have way too many numbers
