This is Lemmy, other than the political bullshit it’s just a bunch of Linux users telling each other how great they are for all using Linux. None of it is helpful because they are all just preaching to the choir.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Karen of Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Yes, I have made some complaints. Stuff like this, and people like you are one of the main things holding me back from embracing this as a platform. But you said every one of my comments. Did you stop reading after the first one?

And yes, I would like a cookie, do you have one?

Anyways, I dont feel like having a fight with an internet stranger. So, do you like video games?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Karen of Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Ouch, stalked my profile for your response here. And its not even true.

But yea, calling me out for complaining when your whole post is a complaint. Good job. You are definitely part of the reason I dont participate much on lemmy.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Karen of Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I get the sense that it’s really not about people having leftist or non American points of views removed, but that people are sick of the extreme shit they post and their attitudes. And it’s seemingly entire instances dedicated to being that extreme, not just some individual users.

Personally though, since users have the tools now to block instances, I don’t think there’s really as much of a need to defederate unless the instance is specifically doing something more than just posting their views. So I agree with you there. Except that having to go out of your way to block stuff like that makes for an experience that isn’t always great. And for me it’s been something that doesn’t really make me want to participate or use the platform much.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox Next-Gen Console Confirmed, Will be 'Largest Technical Leap in a Hardware Generation'⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
So you hate that PCs are more capable and can display better graphics at higher framerates and have rationalized it to yourself that worse graphics and framerates on a console are “how the developers intended”.

I can understand not wanting to tinker with settings and just load a game up and know what to expect in terms of graphics and framerate, but I just cannot disagree more with what you are saying here. Building games to console limitations and not even giving the option for fidelity or framerate just seems like a step backward.

And you don’t see that on lemmy? It’s everywhere. Well maybe less so actual arguments and more just 100% anti Israel.

The guardian of forever was discovered just a few hundred years after the release of unrelated Belgian techno anthem, pump up the jam
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The EV transition trips over its own cord⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I’m all for it, but I’m not jumping on board to ev until the infrastructure is at a point where charging is as quick and easy and ubiquitous as filling up gas. Or at least closer than it is now.

I could however see getting an EV in a two car household where the primary purpose of the EV is for commuting and just getting around locally. Anything beyond that though I would still feel more comfortable with gas or a hybrid.

Alright I’ll get the AI on the case to see if it can determine those things from your post.

Look out!

Then the ninjas jump out of the tree.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most of the world's biggest advertisers have stopped buying ads on Elon Musk's X, exclusive new data shows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
This absolutely feels like a Hanlon’s razor type situation especially given what we have learned about Elon musk over the last 5 or so years. The whole evil genius shtick just doesn’t fly anymore. He’s an idiot who just happens to have made enough good or lucky business decisions in the past to get him where he is now.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨San Francisco says tiny sleeping 'pods,' which cost $700 a month and became a big hit with tech workers, are not up to code⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I’m glad it worked out for you. And I also know that my idea of it all can’t possibly apply to every single company that was or is a part of that whole culture.

I just find myself sceptical of it all since I much prefer to have my own time, and my own space as separate from work and the people I work with. And perks like that just very clearly seem designed to get me to spend as much time at work as possible.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨San Francisco says tiny sleeping 'pods,' which cost $700 a month and became a big hit with tech workers, are not up to code⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I never understood that whole tech/startup culture. I would absolutely hate for my entire life to be my job. And from the outside all these “cool” perks are very clearly designed to get you to spend as much time working as possible. No thanks.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s claim that search users have choice is “bogus,” Microsoft CEO tells judge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I would say though that it’s not really a great choice unless you are already pretty tech savvy. And these days, less and less people seem to even know how to actually use a computer, let alone one that runs Linux.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple says it will fix software problems blamed for making iPhone 15 models too hot to handle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
It’s just fanboys being fanboys. Doesn’t really matter what brand it is. I just think there happens to be many many more apple fanboys than there are for other brands.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A little rant about lemmy.ml⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Nah, there’s one key difference between lemmy users and Reddit users. They behave mostly the same, but there is also a sense of superiority where they just think they know better because of the platform they choose to use.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's not that he's *wrong* in this case, but...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
No, it’s the episode of discovery where he is mentioned. It feeds his ego directly.

You weren’t aware he had a guest spot on an episode of voyager? Well, then yes, really.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hexbear federation megathread⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Personally I am fine using the tools available to me right now to filter and block things I do not want to see. And I assume with the upcoming personal ability to block entire instances, the brigading issue will resolve itself too. So in that regard, keeping them federated or not won’t make much of a difference.

However… The Kremlin propaganda stuff you talk about seems to be quite prevalent. And while they may not all choose to actively brigade, when they show up in thread comments, they tend to completely dominate the thread and specifically all seem to post very similar things. And while I have seen plenty of levelheaded comments from their users, i have also seen a ton of trolling as well.

So again I don’t know if defederation is the solution. I think there’s a place for discussion of people with differing opinions, and curating a completely safe space doesn’t do anyone any real favors. But when interaction goes beyond polite discourse it just breeds hostility and makes places toxic. And at the very least, some of their views and the way they choose to interact with others has been creating a feeling of toxicity to the point that I have seen many many users sick of that instance and to the point that posts like these seemingly need to be made.
