  • 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.




  • Personally, I find Anki reviews to be torturous and has always been the worst part of my routine, to the point of putting me off learning entirely.

    I do agree that it is not for everyone, and is, frankly, an acquired taste. In my own experience, however, once you’ve made it a habit, it becomes a lot lighter, eventually becoming routine.

    What I use it for is a bit different though: I don’t use it for drilling. I find that learning stuff through Anki to be terrible, even though it is certainly possible. Rather, once I’ve already learned stuff, Anki would then come in to keep that information fresh, and refresh it if I happen to forget it. It doesn’t mean that I won’t forget what’s in my cards–that’s up to me to make sure that I do my reviews honestly, and even that’s no guarantee. However, I think that with all that, I’d be able to retain most of what I’ve learned.

    Anyways, yeah~ Thanks!



  • 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.


  • It’s not just OPs strange and mysterious predicament that has made this thread epic, but also the genuine efforts of some of us to help OP in the midst of wild, off the wall, guessing.

    And then there’s the misplaced reply that ended up in the perfect place.

    And I’m glad to have seen it first hand.




  • I’m aware that Richard Stallman had some questionable or inadequate behaviours. I’m not defending those nor the man himself. I’m not defending blindly following that particular human (nor any particular human). I’m defending a philosophy, not the philosopher. I claim that his historical vision and his original ideas are still adequate today. Maybe more than ever.

    This is really an important note. I’ve always maintained that while not every little one of Stallman’s ideas are gold, his ideas on things he’s got expertise on (especially open-source software) are pretty much on point—even if his ideas are a bit too idealistic and are seen as aspirational ideals rather than calls for action and the fact that a lot of them are painful for ordinary people to follow.
