It’s not, it’s ironically a side issue to both political parties. Which is extremely sad, but reality.

What a constructive way to have discussions. You had the perfect opportunity to make the comment section informative for passers by, but instead you had to be a dick.
I did read the article, that’s how I knew to ask the question.

In the US anyway it’s pretty funny because nobody can afford to be a doctor except for people from already extremely privileged backgrounds… who tend to be pricks anyway.
So we don’t have enough doctors, the ones we do have have no perspective on how an average person actually lives, and some very weird views about wealth as it relates to healthcare.

If things are sticking to your cast iron it needs to be better maintained. Properly cleaned and seasoned cast irons don’t stick
The quick and dirty way is to wipe that removed down with canola oil and bake it on high for about 30 minutes.

Cast irons are best cleaned while they’re still hot. I hit mine with hot water, give it a gentle scrub/rinse, then bake it in the oven to evaporate any left over moisture.
I’ve had it for ten years and if I stuck it on a shelf and said it was new nobody would know the difference

Update: so, the responses this far are almost universally that these bots have been blocked by users of the community. There is also a general disinterest in defederating, which is on brand. You guys wanna do a poll or something or? I’d like to lead my thoughts with a quote from the admins regarding bots within lemm.ee: “Bots must not be responsible for the majority of content in any community” There are two entire instances that immediately spring to mind, zerobytes.monster’s b0t user, and lemmit.online. Their content is quite literally 90% bot content with 0 engagement, and they spam constantly. Now here at lemm.ee we generally don’t defend from stuff, that’s actually why I prefer this instance. Yes, you can block the bot users and that solves the problem, but hear me out: These bots ruin the experience on Lemmy for new users. They spam so many posts, attempting to block them from a mobile app will usually crash the app. If you’re a new user coming to Lemm.ee sorting by all, you see tons and tons of empty posts. Zerobytes is particularly egregious because it doesn’t even repost actual content, just thousands and thousands of links to Reddit posts. It’s a spam instance, period, and I feel strongly about this. Lemmit.online isn’t quite as bad, but it’s an entire instance dedicated to spam reposting everything from Reddit. All the posts have zero engagement, and the comment value is gone so everything decent gets buried. Yes there are ways around this on an individual user level, but then you’re creating a context where there’s even less engagement in the vast majority of “new” posts. Anyway, thems my thoughts. Repost bots are stupid, one that drive traffic to Reddit are even worse. Thoughts?
This post is inspired by a conversation I had with another user earlier that, after some reflection, raised an interesting point. When telling a user about Lemmy, trying to bring them into the fold if you will, what would be the best go to link? Think of reddit.com/r/all, but for Lemmy. In theory, any instance will work as long as it has a large enough user base to have people subscribed to other large isntances, but having a solid landing page to point new users towards definitely has some merit. Thoughts?
Are we just stuck with browsers for the time being? I mean it works but fuck I miss Apollo already.
