I saw a documentary about a serial killer that called his victims “long pigs.” I guess in this case you’d be eating pork from actual pigs.

Wow, not only does Prime Day offer nothing good to buy on sale, it actually doesn’t offer the lowest price over a one-month period. I’m surprised OP found something interesting to buy for Prime Day. I don’t even bother checking it out because in the past, all I see is junk I don’t want or need.
There are lots of benefits to lurking. Nobody jumps on you with pedantic bull crap. Nobody tells you to just Google it. Nobody picks at every god damn little picky thing you say. Nobody bothers you. It’s a wonder anybody bothers to post or comment at all. Life is more peaceful for lurkers.
I think it’s a good thing to have more than one community devoted to a topic. I have already discovered that I don’t like this or that community on this or that instance but I like another community on another instance dedicated to the same or similar topic. People have different styles and preferences even though they have similar subjects in common. It’s like having different supermarkets or clothing stores. Some like to get their jeans at The Gap. Others prefer Levi’s. Giving users more choices is good in my experience. It used to be this way in the days of forums and usenet news groups. I think if you’re not used to it you will get used to it. It’s like shopping around for a good class at college or looking for the right pair of jeans that fits you the right way.
You can block the whole Fediverse community. I did. Like, it’s helpful. I also blocked asklemmy. Also helpful. I haven’t blocked it on kbin, though. It doesn’t matter, I see shit I’m not subscribed to when I filter by “subscribed” still. I think filtering by keyword is going to be a long time away. You can be obnoxious as a commenter, though. When you see the keyword, say something contrary in a comment. That could be fun.
