Why do a lot of fediverse instances put their software (i.e. Lemmy/Mastodon) in their name somehow?

It took me 16 years to figure out why I hate a Journey song. What song did you hated until you figured out why?
I love Journey. But for some reason I hated, “Don’t Stop Believin” and I could not understand why I loathed that song until I recently rewatched The Sopranos for the second time after 16 years and the final episode had that song playing until the “blackout.” And now I know why…...

What do you think of our lord and saviour Odysee.com?
Yeah, I have been hearing about Youtube blocking ad blocks for a while now and I thought maybe Firefox + uBlock Origin is holding ads at bay for a while, but yeah, it happened today. uBlock origin has been unable to block some ads for me and I am thinking of leaving Youtube.

Have you ever been sexually attracted to someone you found repulsive?
It happened to me recently at work. I don’t even find her physically attractive, and her personality is not what I’m into at all. But I was still somehow attracted to her - and she also was to me. She didn’t like me, and I certainly am not the kind of man she goes for. It’s like we had a strong connection in one area...

Steam adds new "Trending Free" tab to hide demos from new & trending
Great change imo. The new & trending tab feels a lot more useful now that it isn’t 50% demos.

Have you noticed an increase in political fighting?
I travel a lot, and talk to a lot of different people. I’ve noticed that while people certainly do have differing opinions, it’s not as extreme as what I see online. I’m starting to feel like all this hate and division is manufactured. Has anyone else noticed, that when you actually talk to real people things are far less...
