Thanks for indirectly reminding me to crosspost to !dadjokes@lemmy.world 😁
The follow up since OP didn't post it here yet:
!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
But I can't find it. And the newest post there is 30 days old. Huh?
Feddit and dbzer0 have (mutually?) defederated, so you'll only see posts there from your own instance users.
you’ll only see posts there from your own instance users.
That doesn't appear to be the case.
This doesn't seem like defederation. Something weird is going on.
edit: Never mind, dbzer0 defederated from feddit 7 months ago. But why are some posts and upvotes getting through?
Defederation is weird and I don't fully understand it. For example, the community will still exist on a server after defederation, and people can still post to it (albeit now there's no moderation, and that's a separate problem). Maybe feddit is pulling in posts from users outside of dbzer0, linking it to the orphaned comm, and populating the posts that way.
(mutually?)
Looks like it's only one way. (You can go to Instances at the footer, and then the blocked tab.)
I just checked another sublemmy from dbzer0 on your instance and almost all posts are missing.
Something is fucked with your instance.
The fuck.
Not really a dad joke, but I’m half Greek and I can accurately say that my father is a Lesbian.
That is actually hilarious
That punchline took me way too long to wrap my head around. Once I did it's pretty funny though, I loled
Take all the time you need.
This joke doesn't work today.
I, and I am sure a majority of people, could not give enough of a fuck if someone was gay to openly ask about their orientation or preferences in a casual setting.
Less of a majority than you and I would like, I'm sure.
Exactly the same if you're wondering if the cashier is pregnant, it's none of your fucking business.
True, but for the people who need to hear this: you are not a bad person if you think 'I wonder if the cashier is pregnant' you are a rude person if you say it. Thinking bad things isn't bad. Saying or doing bad things is bad.
It's only bad if she's not, because it would make her uncomfortable. Picture a little nice grandma saying it, you know she's just trying to join in the happiness that is becoming a mother, she's trying to congratulate her and wish her well... Having said that, ofc it's better to avoid saying it unless you're basically 120% sure, you don't wanna make people feel self-conscious even by mistake.
Good joke for a christian convention lol.
