  Another place I frequent got rid of the downvote so if people actually disagree with you they have yo use words to make their point. Kinda funny how that solves a lot of issues.

  Wait, you mean you don’t like how algorithms and ads have evolved to almost be content at this point. You don’t want a bunch of for-profit ads suggesting you buy things you don’t need? Lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite note-taking application?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was a fan too, but lost the portable version I weas using when my usb died. The version I pulled off git now freezes every 10 seconds and closes itself down a lot. Not sure how they made it worse but it’s worse now.

  Cheers, still use forums for very granular info. I think it’s more of a scale issue. If you put the volume of users on these niche forums as are on reddit/lemmy, I think the multi-post nonsense would ensue. I remember having to tell a lot of people to use the search in forums. Sounds similar.

  Ah, I see what you mean. I feel like that adds a lot of moderation overhead though because it needs people there to stop nefarious grave-digging.

  He would have never guessed that I was at lemmy.world first. lol, probably would have broke his brainwashing to acknowledge another user as a human being he would have to consider the opinion of. Just pretend everyone’s out to get you for reasons other people made up for you. Back to sleep little one.

  No need to waste energy making a real point then, lol people here just make shit up and then posture as if it makes them right somehow. Look, I’m doing it! No need to actually have any basis for my opinion that no one asked for! :D damn Armok: God of Blood HOW DID I NOT THINK OF THIS BEFORE!?! Lol wait, accidentally asked you to think critically. lol. My bad, carry on.

  What chain of logic lead you to that conclusion?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hypothesis: Insufficient moderation tools lead to instance protectionism, which leads to a decline in the overall discussion quality on Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Think those are just called forums?

  Yep, when I get sick of the rhetoric here I just jump over to hexbear where they make fun of the people I tend to disagree with frequently here. ^.^ I think the best moderation tools would be to attempt to decentralize it so the petty tyrants the role seems to attract can’t abuse their authority to censor opinions they don’t agree with regardless of whether or not the content actually conflicts with the rules.

  The principles are a solid foundation but can be taken for granted depending on income or association. The community is spurred from the principles but still has entitled participants :/ Interesting exercise

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone explain the Fediverse to me In simple terms?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like if Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter all had the capacity to import content from each other. Then add in that most of the Fediverse’s "facebook, twitter, and reddit"s aren’t run by centralized institutions. You can sign up for an account with any of them, but the administration of the one your account is on gets to decide which other sites content it wants to import. If you don’t like the way the admins are deciding on content in one, you can again start your own or just hop to another one. The Lemmy instances are forum like in nature similar to reddit, Mastodon instances are like twitter.

  Yeah, pics or it didn’t happen… oh wait, we can literally generate the pics now… shit. Guess we’re out here in the wild west these days…

  Better ban school too. I hear that’s how kids find drug dealers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't know why American Christians are against abortion...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  False Dichotomy: The message presents only two options: either adopt someone or support the hypothetical alternative, which is framed quite negatively as ‘murdering the children’. This is a false dichotomy because there are many other potential courses of action and viewpoints someone could have on the topic in question.

  Ad Hominem: The phrase “would you just prefer murdering the children instead?” is an ad hominem attack, targeting the person instead of addressing the argument or issue at hand. Ad hominem attacks are often used as a distraction technique and they are logically fallacious because they don’t actually engage with the argument itself.

  Red Herring: The reference to being unable to afford a house is a red herring – it’s a point that may seem related, but it’s actually not relevant to the question of adoption. One’s ability to afford a house has no inherent connection to one’s ability or willingness to adopt a child.

  Generalization Fallacy: The argument seems to assume that adoption is the only viable or morally acceptable option once a person is married and has a house. This is a generalization that does not take into account the variety of individual circumstances, opinions, and potential solutions that exist.
