If you're here, there's still hope for the internet

Don't let it fall

  • We could always, but who is we?

  • Cream pie

    Making it two words makes all the difference

  • Why? After you've bought it, selling doesn't do anything. It doesn't really hurt tesla or more importantly musk. That's just virtue signaling of the highest order

  • Sure, moderating and creating places like the fediverse are good and useful. But 99% of the time people spend on the fediverse isn't doing that

    I feel like this article misses the essence of the original. It's a strawman. Yes, being on the fediverse is better than being on twitter/facebook whatever corpo media. But it is equally susceptible to just endless scrolling without any action

    Many Twitter refugees made a good choice in migrating from Musk’s X to Bluesky, carving out a new online space that is inhospitable to bigoted debate bros and time-wasting trolls. But in their enemies’ absence, many of these Left-leaning posters have just reverted to dunking on each other, preferring the catharsis of sectarian conflict over the hard work of organizing.

    Yeah I've tried bluesky, this is entirely accurate. 90% of US political content on bluesky is basically a combination of r/whitepeopletwitter and r/clevercomebacks. Same people too, that reddit loves

  • people seem to find the idea of organizing on lemmy absurd

  • Most businesses also use outlook or gmail

  • It's a very different style. I couldn't slog through it

  • Is this the first page people see? If so you should probably have a blurb before the background

  • Except everyone just uses gmail now

  • The web ui has this option now. Although you can't collapse threads so it's still pretty hard to navigate

    If anything the success or the Twitter ui shows you don't always need a good UX to succeed

  • Yeah thanks

  • I'm not sure he could solve them. Part of his depression might be knowing the solution to the world's problems, and also knowing he can't bring them about.

    But also he's a robot. No moral compass, no reason to care about humans. For him such things are an intellectual curiosity at best

  • holy shit, how have I not heard of this

  • Why are you comparing them as if they're equivalent?? Wordpress is being used as a backend for tumblr

  • Man if I start listing them I'll go over lemmy's word limit

  • You don't get wealthy if you're good, because it takes a certain amount of greed and materialism

  • Avoiding bad genetics is desirable. Just because it's normal doesn't mean it isn't eugenics

  • It's selective breeding to get certain genetic qualities, which is the definition of eugenics

  • I keep hearing about how modal editing is faster and I would like to switch to a more performant editor.

    Honestly I've yet to hear a good argument for this. It feels like such a major investment to switch to vi-like editors, I need a pretty good argument before considering it

    Also a good argument for "why does it matter"? Speed of editing is rarely a bottleneck when editing code. If it is, you might want to consider why your code is so verbose and repetitive to make it so
