  I had no idea about all of that. I really learned something today! Already really like Lemmy and the Fediverse, I feel like most people here put some extra thought and effort into their posts and comments. I’ve used Reddit since I was 18 and it used to be the same, but as its popularity grew I guess the “wrong” kind of people started joining and participating. I think that’s bound to happen with anything that gets really big. I’ve described some social justice movements the same way, where you had people who genuinely cared in the beginning but eventually as the movement becomes a trend the values and sentiments gets simpler, dumber and eventually unrecognizable from what the initial goal was.

  By the way I think there’s a little birthday cake next to my username because I created the user today lol.

  I was replying to someone that said they could use it to treat covid, which has lead to people dying. Guess I got reported by them and for some reason an admin thought it was meant as a threat?

  That’s really interesting! Did you have any problems getting your hands on it when people started buying it for covid?

  Oh and happy Lemmy anniversary. Is it really today? Weird coincidence that I joined today.

  I got temporarily banned from Reddit for saying that using ivermectin might kill you, and that was it. I’m done.

  I love talking with people with a different perspective, and I love playing the devils advocate to try to understand other points of view better. As you said, if it’s just going to become a fight it’s completely meaningless.

  Unless I know the other person has the same intent to respectfully listen and try to understand rather than argue I won’t engage in any sort of political discussion. Polarizing opinions have been completely normalized online and it’s literally ruining society.

  Are you planning on going back once the ban is lifted? I’m gonna try to stay away.

  I got temp banned today because I replied to someone and said that using ivermectin would probably kill them.

  I’m done, so fucking done.

  Hey, I’ve seen that episode of Black Mirror!

  That is seriously dystopian. Wow, what the fuck…

  I mostly just use my PC for video games, movies and music production, so that hasn’t really affected me.

  Regarding UI I think it’s been horrible since Windows 8. I really miss 7!

  I’ve been on 11 since before it was officially released. Honestly never had any issues with it, but I’m interested in hearing what sort of issues anyone else might have had? Are we talking about privacy concerns, bugs or performance issues?
