The question is basically the title.

It's very hit-and-miss. But mostly miss. That picture of a cat hiding under wrapping paper taunts me.

It doesn't seem to be related to what instance the content is on. But I haven't been able to find any pattern.

Is there an alternative (for non-instance-admins) that works more reliably?

Yes I'm Loosely aware of the drama surrounding the reference community. I just don't give it any mind. And use Linux or BSD on everything. If they want to be a pissy power tripping baby in their community then they can. But I don't think they should expect too many to participate either.

Fair. Definitely don't blame you. I only participate because it's fun to poke the bear and have fun at Madthumbs' expense sometimes. Like the Buttcoin community (or rather "communities" - there are at least 4 on Lemmy) does with cryptobros. And Artificial Ignorance does with generative AI.

heh I do that sometimes still I suppose. Though much more in moderation at my age.
