1st, great communication- No response because there is no problem. That's a terrific reason for instance administrators to ignore messages. I should have read their minds and known, geesh my bad. 2nd- I used the report feature on august 26th and did not receive a response until a week later. The response wasn't even a fix, it was just asking if I was still having a problem. So thats clearly not the best way to contact admins. That leaves @ ing admins on major posts to get a response. Its annoying, but so far the only effective way. Lastly, If a user creates dozens upon dozens of new communities, solely because they might become popular and then sits on them/isnt active in them, I would say thats an abuse of the system. I suppose we should all start registering any community that could potentially become big. Then when they do become popular, we can gatekeep who is worthy enough to mod them. Plainly, power-mods shouldnt be a thing.

    I feel your frustration with "unable to get in touch with the instance administrator". I'm waiting for a response from @ruud and @MichelleG from 9 days ago regarding abusive members.

    Same here, I learned to do it with both side. Also try curling all of your toes except your big toe and vise versa (kinda like a thumbs up with your foot). Its one of those things everyone can do, but most dont because their body is pre-wired not to. Its just mind over.. well your body. Im convinced popping your pecs is also one of those mental things. Its helps to have muscles but I think everyone can do it.

  • Naked and afraid (lemmy.world)
     

    I was interested in the first few season. Its seemed like a good concept of minimal survival. Yet as the seasons have progressed it has turned into a bastard child of Survivor and big brother. The naked part is a ploy to begin with. But hey, you get to see a nice butt once in awhile haha. The show has shifted from survival skills, to interpersonal conflicts and it seems bland now. Anyone else notice the change?
