Some shoes have leather in them, in the past it was almost universal that shoes would be made of leather, but with the advent of modern plastics and rubbers most shoes these days aren’t made of leather anymore, since leather is more expensive.

Side note, in the past shoes were much more repairable and there were actually people known as cobblers who would make and, get this, repair shoes. Nowadays many modern shoes, especially sneakers, are built in a way that makes them significantly less if not completely unrepairable, which really sucks. We should be able to repair shoes just like in the old days #righttorepair

@LordAmplifier It definitely does. Too bad it isn’t. Would probably be an Awesome movie, anime, or game.

@bionicjoey
That’s a bit far, I think they should just be educated on proper posting etiquette for forum based Fediverse platforms like Lemmy and Mbin.

@thegiddystitcher

@kayzeekayzee Agreed, it’s a very nice picture.

I just now noticed that the airships and hot air balloons are food-themed.

@l_b_i I guess it could go both ways, might even be a little bit of both now that I think about it.

@unexposedhazard
Agreed, he definitely needs more confidence.

@jojo

Depends if the person was already hoarding wealth before or had the desire to. Generally those who have a desire for wealth tend to hoard gold as dergs, those who don’t, well they don’t.

@SuDmit

They can meet the dragon during working hours, no need to break in.

@Lightfire228
Yeah I’m sure that job is very hard on the skin, even for a derg who has thick, tough scales.

Also I imagine the salt dust can be quite irritating to the eyes as well.

@l_b_i
That sounds so dumb and racist (speciesist?) dragons should be allowed to fly anywhere and everywhere we choose. Also I agree, ties do suck. I’m glad my current job doesn’t require them.

@LordAmplifier

@Ghostalmedia @deadsuperhero I think the fact that I was able to see and reply to this comment of yours from Mastodon proves this idea false, if you check the Post history of this account you will also find that content posted in Lemmy is visible.

They absolutely do interact, lemmy is way more Mastodon friendly than most people give it credit for, considering the fact that communities/groups, automatically boost every post and comment for visibility.

So people on Lemmy being concerned about poorly moderated or cesspool microblog instances is indeed a valid concern.

@db0 @WeirdGoesPro would probably require modifying Lemmy to be able to do it unfortunately, and that’s hard because of the Lemmy Devs’ weird insistence on using rust.

@cyberboy What do you think, does this get the official catboy seal of approval?

@RavenLuni @crashdoom Yeah I agree. Automated moderation systems can cause a lot of problems when they ban or limit without human interaction.

If they do though, they need to inform the user of the actions performed, and there needs to be an easy way to appeal them, so they aren’t just baseless automated bans like on every mainstream service.

@crashdoom I’m not sure how I feel about automated moderation systems, on one hand they’re good because they reduce the workload for moderators, but on the other hand they can have false positives and catch innocent people, also if they handle reports they can be abused by malicious actors.

Considering that automated systems generally have had these problems in the past I feel like it’s not a good idea and will likely cause a lot of frustration for people falsely caught in it, or people not even knowing they were caught in it and just having a worse experience because no one is liking or responding to them.

That said I wouldn’t be as against it if it was manual review only, like a tool to find spam, but not automatically ban or limit the users, and if such system was implemented in the future, always notify the user of this automated action so they aren’t in the dark.

@Melody @l_b_i I feel like it can get more cozy.

@LordAmplifier @l_b_i Also put on some nice calm music too. That helps with coziness factor.

@Kovukono Yeah it actually kind of sucks that people were so hostile towards it, honestly my first comment was more meant to be a joke (especially since I’m replying on Mastodon), but I guess it also wasn’t as much of a joke as I thought considering how many people tried to bury the post.

@BOLOID Which instances are you on because I haven’t had very many federation issues on mine. I do know that the gGmbH instances (mastodon.social, mastodon.online, etc.) are generally limited by many other instances on the count of spambots and poor moderation. It’s why it isn’t recommended to choose them (you’ll run into issues following people or fetching content, that’s not a bug, it’s a feature).
