Asking an existing userbase for any kind of change will pretty much always result in a no.
If you’re trying to position yourself as a search engine that hasn’t enshittified, don’t head down that road without asking. Know your userbase. They’re using duckduckgo for a reason.
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 5 days ago:
They should have asked before including AI in the first place.
- Comment on Is it weird that whenever there's an internet disruption, the first thing that I assume is happening is war, civil unrest, or government censorship, or some sort of conspiracy happening? 5 days ago:

And yet it’s opt out, not opt in.
- Comment on It's barely a science. 5 days ago:
Most of the time it’s just people working backward from whatever conclusion suits their politics.
- Comment on Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ? 6 days ago:
Most of us aren’t. Hell, most of us didn’t listen to the Secretary of Health and Human Services before.

You’ve been trained well.
- Comment on OnePlus update blocks downgrades and custom ROMs by blowing a fuse 1 week ago:
Installing linux on your Dell that came with Windows isn’t “Installing a custom OS.”
- Comment on Bluesky just verified ICE 1 week ago:
Stop using abuse to try to bait me into further interaction. You just want nazis to have as wide an audience as possible.
- Comment on Bluesky just verified ICE 1 week ago:
Verifying a hate group and letting them remain on your platform allows them to spread hate.
I know you get this. You’re just wasting my time by playing dumb, so I’m out.
- Comment on Bluesky just verified ICE 1 week ago:
They’re verified.

His goal will never be to specifically kill Americans
I hope you’re right.

When talking to anyone left-of-center, encourage them to vote in elections, especially primaries
I think the greatest encouragement to vote in primaries would be if the party were to provide some assurance that they’re willing to run primaries without tilting the scales in favor of the people that the establishment likes and no one else does.
Or indeed, run primaries at all. People to the left are shut out of the party at every turn, and then told “You’ll be voting for a pro-genocide ghoul because we decided for you. If you don’t like the candidate we ordered you to like, it’s your fault for not voting in the primaries we didn’t have.”
That message may be satisfying to centrists, but it alienates the left. It’s a losing message and the party can no longer afford to keep sending it.

They’ve been given a platform to spread their hate. Yes.
- Comment on Bluesky just verified ICE 2 weeks ago:
They verified that the account belonged to ICE and didn’t ban it for being, you know, the fucking gestapo.
Where nazis are welcome, no one else is.

Wonder if all the AI shit has actually been a way to inflate the price of computer hardware to the point where something like this is the only way some people will be able to afford to use computers at all.
- Comment on we need more users 2 weeks ago:
That speaks more to your lack of criticism.
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think Microsoft understands what cloud storage is supposed to be used for.
They understand it’s for training AI. They don’t care about anything else.
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 2 weeks ago:
A lot of people on lemmy long ago realized that if you have enough problems with windows, the problem is windows.
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 2 weeks ago:
Ubuntu has kind of fallen out of favor with a lot of people, myself included.
The whole “We’re using snaps now. We like snaps so you like snaps” attitude rankled a lot of people.
- Comment on we need more users 2 weeks ago:
You probably haven’t. It’s just a word centrists throw around when they want to defederate from instances they don’t like for being to their left.
- Comment on we need more users 2 weeks ago:
Too bad centrists think everyone with any criticism whatsoever of anything they do is a tankie.
- Comment on we need more users 2 weeks ago:
I don’t want nazis here either and I’m glad that lemmy remains hostile to them. I was responding to someone who asked why people stayed on reddit. Given reddit’s userbase, they’re staying because they’re welcome. We shouldn’t welcome nazis.
- Comment on we need more users 3 weeks ago:
the internet is not information driven anymore, it’s dopmine driven.
Dopamine? It’s cortisol driven.
- Comment on we need more users 3 weeks ago:
Because reddit coddles nazis and lemmy doesn’t.
Also niche communities exist on reddit that lemmy doesn’t have the population to support.

- Comment on Tyler Robinson and Luigi Mangione are a glaring example of how attractive people get treated against ones who are not attractive 3 weeks ago:
The other is just a right wing troll who shot another right wing troll for not being the right kind of troll. Nobody’s gonna be sympathetic to that except other right wing trolls.
Hence, OP.
