  • It's the mining of diamonds that kills all the children. After the diamond is mined, I can use it with almost no child deaths. Diamonds are fine.

  • Why do people on reddit seem to hate Lemmy/Mbin/other federated link aggregators?

  • Yeah, like I said, that doesn't sound healthy

  • I think a lot of people here aren't looking at this in the right way:

    They don't have to accept accounts for student or let students interact. This can be an alternative system for disseminating announcements with optional mechanisms for feedback. All they need to do is federate and then any of their students subscribe.

    I've been wishing that my my governments (at all levels) would do this so I can get notified of things like changes to bus schedules or closures of highways and shit.

    As a young American, how do I motivate myself to work? It feels like the entire system is a scam and it's pointless to even try.

  • Work is a fuck, but you gotta eat. And the shared suffering builds camaraderie with your coworkers and some may develop into friends, which can provide meaning and excitement.

    People who glorify hustle culture are fucked up. Don't listen to them.

  • Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon?

  • I see you've employed the "I am rubber you are glue" tactic. Great job 👍

  • Kids (and even adults) back then didn't really know what was and wasn't possible for real-time computer graphics. Like back in the time of Warcraft 2 and shit especially. SC2 maybe less so.

  • What an absolutely braindead reply.

    Mastodon had a bad experience for that person. Blue sky didn't.Their experience wasn't unique.End of story.

    You're doing mental gymnastics to misinterpret their argument. Nobody said they want centralized social media you absolute lemon. They want a user experience that doesn't suck. Right now, blue sky provides that while mastodon doesn't.

    "Oh but bsky's federation doesn't solve Mastodon's problem" they don't have to solve Mastodon's problem.

    Elitist neckbeards like you are the reason the fediverse isn't fun.

  • How could we convince Reddit subs to move over to Lemmy?

  • Toxic people can be blocked by your instance, or you can move to an instance that doesn't tolerate that behavior

  • Honestly it kinda reminds me of blizzard games back in the day.

    Folks remember the StarCraft adverts and cutscenes? Not remotely like the game.

    I wonder why we gave them a pass. Probably because the game was still fun, I guess

  • See this is part of the problem.

    Dude was like "look at this objectively terrible experience I actually had" And you are like "yeah well that could happen to bsky in theory too, so they're just as bad!"

    I've been a mastodon user for almost 2 years, but I never use it because finding interesting people to subscribe to who are actually active is difficult.I haven't been using bsky because I've really been hoping mastodon takes off, but whenever I hear about how easy it is to onboard and find interesting content, I think about switching.

  • That doesn't remove the toxic mod.

    How many alts and sock puppets do you think the average person should have? This doesn't sound healthy

  • We already have the same problem here. Some of our major communities have belligerent mods on problematic instances.

    We're not solving that problem, we're just making it easier to hide from it via defederation.

  • If federation works the way it's claimed to, then if we migrate even the bad parts of reddit here it should be fine.

    Lemmy is turning into an elitist cesspool.

  • Lots of edgelords here like "I don't want the reddit plebs here" as though they weren't happily one of them a couple years ago.

    Let them come over. Put the idea of federation to the test. Isn't that one of the major features of federation, if there are a bunch of shitty people you can just defederate or use a different community?If federation does what it claims then it'll only be an improvement.

    I agree with people saying not to force people here if they don't wanna be (not that we could), but the people saying that folks still on reddit are there because they inherently prefer the reddit application UX is crazy. They prefer the content in reddit. And they have a point.

    Folks here are way more insufferable than reddit. Just the other day there was a post being like "why do reddit users hate Lemmy?" And linked a reddit post about it. But the comments on the reddit post were considered, nuanced, and polite; while the comments on the Lemmy post were a bunch of neckbeards crying about how terrible reddit users are.

    TLDR y'all need to look in the mirror.

    Edit: typo degenerate → defederate

  • Honestly, in my experience since I fully moved to Lemmy:

    Almost any subreddit is more mature than any Lemmy channel.This isn't just number of users (but that's a huge problem that has been mentioned here a lot), it means that the chance you'll run into a mod who is a tinpot despot is pretty high, and there is nothing you can do about it if you're not willing to sit alone in a ghost town alternate community.

  • what is the most "above your station" thing you have ever experienced?

    Jump

  • Spent a night at the Iceland Blue Lagoon Retreat hotel for a special occasion. It's like $1800 USD per night so it was a huge splurge. We saw Rebel Wilson staying at the hotel too. It was fancy AF.

    Absolutely wasted if you only spend one day, but we couldn't afford 2.

  • What was around or ended more recently than people think?

  • Rosa Parks lived until 2005

    (Legal) Segregation in America was until pretty damn recently. Though loophole segregation is arguably still going on.

  • Almost everyone in the linked Reddit post seems to be supportive of Lemmy, or even Lemmy users. Even the people who tried it and stopped seem generally warm to the idea and just think it needs polish.

    I'd say that this comment section is way more vitriolic than that one lol
