I mean, Lemmy is designed to be a replacement for Reddit, not forums. It should comes as no surprise that it encapsulates and continues the norms Reddit popularized.
You may want to expand on your last paragraph. Not only does that sound like where most of your opinion is, but I cannot really tell what that main opinion is.
What tropes did Reddit try to own? IMO, Spez et. al. are not intelligent enough to target, “owning common tropes”. I think they just made a twist on forums and it stuck.

There are plenty of accounts of children surviving in the wilderness for shockingly long periods of time. Sure, they’re not well fed and without disease in most cases, but that happens in the wild a lot more than most people care to contemplate.

Eh, need is a strong word past maybe 6-7. Humans aren’t as dumb as many adults would make you think.
… Not to say they’d be well off, nor would such a life be easy by any means, but like… if an animal can survive in the wild, we usually say they’re fine, even if they’ll live 1/3rd as long in the wild as in captivity.
- Comment on Are there any art programs designed specifically for mouse users? 6 days ago:
In that case, I’d definitely not disregard vector based apps. Worst case, you ‘should’ be able to do the heavy lifting in what ever app is best for that control scheme, and maybe do some extra work in a rasterized tool if your style truly requires non-vectorized details.
If you want a lot of your detail to be from traditional methods, it might be easiest to stay in a rasterized app, but if you want the line work or sketching/etc tools to be nice computational tools you can change at will regardless, it might take exploring a few options in order to expose the ‘best’ tool.
- Comment on Are there any art programs designed specifically for mouse users? 6 days ago:
Your restriction to raster only apps makes little sense to me, outside of style choices (which is totally valid).
Most of the features I can think of that would make using a mouse easier I would think would be more likely to be present in vector art programs? Or something with excellent bezier curve controls and tilt/pressure emulation controls in similar fashion, anyways.
You may have to give a bit more info on what you’re looking for to get really good suggestions. For starters, do you want to draw with the mouse like it’s a stylus? Or do you just want tools you won’t have to fiddle with to infinity to get the shapes you want?
- Comment on Are there any art programs designed specifically for mouse users? 6 days ago:
I think they’re asking for a traditional raster art program that still comes with nice features for mouse drawing, like curve smoothing and … uh… other things.
- Comment on Are there any art programs designed specifically for mouse users? 6 days ago:
I think they’re asking for which ones have the best/most of those ‘smoothing’ and similar features. Not if they exist.
I would chime in with a recommend but I’m not intimately familiar with any art app except Blender, and even there it’s mostly modeling and not ‘art’.

Because they’re not limitations. They’re jail cell bars. It’s the classic, “the system is broken” vs, “working as intended”.
He’s right: The rich do have a massive imbalance of influence, and they like to keep it that way.

- Comment on Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles. 1 week ago:
I don’t agree. In wild animals, eye contact is often a bad thing because it can be viewed as a challenge. Similarly, “staring down” someone is very much a bad thing. There are many natural moments when “normal” people don’t like eye contact or don’t feel like making it.
Similarly, I think most people grossly underestimate their emotional acuity. Just look at how many people fall into the, “I’m an empath” meme, or at how many people don’t actually understand consent.

- Comment on Why did an old friend who stood up for me in school block me when I messaged him on Facebook? 2 weeks ago:
Probably took it as fishing. Asking a very obvious personally identifiable question is how many scammers try to break the ice with social engineering. Ask questions that help the scammer further identify their target or assets of the target.
A question that anyone should already know the answer to isn’t a great idea, though. If it is you, you should already know if you went to school with them. If it’s not you, it’s still an odd question, because it should be verifiable already on their profile? Either way, the generic question really isn’t sending, “hey I remember and want to connect with you” vibes, IMO. It’s giving, “hey I recently got in to MLMs” vibes.

Expect the next person in line to take the first’s place. Eventually, the greedy cunts will figure out they’re just stepping in line for the guillotine.
- Comment on What is the moral jurisdiction behind not wishing who're rich and in executive positions to die? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t.
Sure, there are many people that deserve it, and sure, there will always be the ability for someone to try to be a shitstain on humanity, but to pretend that the effort is futile is literally just ignorant defeatism.

Nah. If you actually look at the merits of the case … it is obviously a blatant ripoff. They even tried to license Horizon first…

and the best innoculation against propaganda is an enlightened population that can spot the BS at first glance.
- Comment on Celebrating anti-intellectualism is the biggest danger to humanity 4 weeks ago:
Nah. Anti-intellectualism is absolutely a thing.
Why are people not trusting experts? Why are people not thinking through problems for themselves?
It’s not because they do not trust certain people. It’s because they believe their ignorant opinion is just as valid as a researched conclusion.

- Comment on Why don't compasses have just two Cardinal directions (North, East, -North, -East)? 1 month ago:
In addition to what others have already said, it’d be really silly to make one a negative of the other in the most basic sense, too.
There have been so many issues with electrons having a “negative” charge, and that’s a binary situation! It would be so much worse to introduce implied favoritism with basic directions.

Political, or tribal? Political is supposed to mean compromising on solutions to tough and intertwined problems.
