Advice needed: Accidentally summoned a demon while trying to make mac & cheese - Lemmy.world
So I was hungry and bored and a little drunk and decided to make some homemade
macaroni and cheese. I found this old leather-bound book that looked like a
cookbook, so I opened it and followed a recipe. Turns out it was like the
Necronomicon or something and I summoned a demon. He’s sitting on my couch right
now being a dick, watching Netflix and drinking my beer. He won’t leave and says
he’s going to take my soul unless I make him the world’s best mac and cheese. I
have a box of crappy dollar store instant mac in the pantry. What can I do to
make it better? I don’t have any crazy ingredients like fancy cheeses or
truffles. Help.

Blocked Instances announcements/appeals? - Lemmy.world
My question is not about defederating from Exploding Heads. I support that
well-documented decision [https://lemmy.world/post/747912] by the admins.
However I have noticed the Blocked Instances list at
https://lemmy.world/instances [https://lemmy.world/instances] growing, and I was
wondering if and where the admins are announcing new blocks. (I thought
https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld [https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld] but there
doesn’t appear to be consistency there.) Specifically I was curious about
Lemmit.Online [https://lemmit.online/post/14692] which is now blocked. I
searched c/lemmyworld
[https://lemmy.world/search/q/lemmit.online/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/5/creator_id/0/page/1]
and c/general
[https://lemmy.world/search/q/lemmit.online/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/11700/creator_id/0/page/1]
for announcements or discussions about that instance being blocked, but found
nothing. I think I understand the admins’ justification (though I don’t agree
with it) but would like to know why the “nuclear option” of defederation was
chosen. I believe (but don’t know since there was no announcement) that it was a
reaction to Lemmit.Online communities appearing too frequently at the top of
“All” + “Hot.” Lemmit.Online exists solely to copy posts from requested
subreddits. I’ve found it really helpful to monitor all my small population
subreddits, where there is not yet a viable Lemmy community (not just where
someone started a community but a useful one with active members and equivalent
posts.) In most cases I’m happy with the links being shared, and don’t need to
click through to Reddit for the discussions. Since Lemmit.Online communities are
just copies of subreddit posts, though, I do understand folks not wanting to see
them at the top of “All.” But doesn’t almost everyone move to “Subscribed”
pretty quickly? Or can’t it be a teaching moment to understand how to block a
community as an individual user if you don’t want to see a Lemmit.Online
community in “All?” I also think the admins have the ability to block individual
communities, so if it’s a matter of specific noisy Lemmit.Online communities
with established Lemmy equivalents then why not block only those communities
rather than the entire instance? I mean, I don’t like meme posts. I ignore them
if browsing “All” and I don’t subscribe to those communities. If I really,
really dislike seeing them in “All” then I have the choice to block those
communities. Problem solved for me without removing the ability for anyone in
the instance who does like them to see them. But Lemmy.World defederating
Lemmit.Online removes the ability for those of us who found those communities
useful to make our own choice. I’d like to better understand the admins’
decision to defederate the entire instance, and if we users have the option to
appeal (or at least discuss) the decision. tl;dr - Do admins post announcements
explaining defederations, and where? - Is there an appeal process? If not,
should there be?
