  • mander.xyz for science articles and memes. startrek.website and tenforward@lemmy.world for star trek memes. cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works for cybersecurity news, but not a lot of discussion.

    The self hosting communities on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world are pretty active and good at answering questions.

  • I have kind of the opposite experience. When I go on reddit, I feel depressed and angry, when I go on Lemmy I laugh and learn stuff. Probably the communities I subscribe to though. I get political and regional news from Reddit (and don't have an actual reddit account anymore). I get funny science and Star Trek memes from Lemmy and cyber security and tech news.

  • Capitalism is happy to have cheap code that works "well enough" to sell, and mostly prefers it to expensive code that works "really well."

    The future is full of buggy ass code that runs most services and devices, who's main priority is vacuuming up data about its users and everyone and everything around them, and then a few high quality products and services only the rich can afford.

  • I run my own instance that has just two users. I Federate with who I want (including most instances you named). I subscribe to low drama instances like startrek.website and mander.xyz. I subscribe to communities from MOST of the instances you mentioned, but not a single one has drama (for example, no one on the lemmy.ml cybersecurity or selfhosting communities argues about politics... they just post and talk about those things).

    I experience almost no drama. Two years ago, it was different, but I left those communities (but not even those instances) and just avoid engaging with those users (and it was honestly only a few very vocal users).

    In my daily life, I'm involved with a number of protest and mutual aid organizations and I can tell you, the whole left is full of very vocal "my leftism is better than your leftism" people. But MOST people aren't actually like that... just the loud ones. If you challenge them in their spaces, not only will you end up on the receiving end, they'll turn you into one of them (I have been down that road a couple times). Not that they'll convert your politics, necessarily, but they'll convert your behavior. They create and feed off drama triangles and "I escalate, you double down, you escalate, I double down" feedback loops. This isn't unique to Lemmy. You can experience the same thing in your local hacker space co-op (ask me how I know).

    Historically, leftist political and social discourse has always been like this, for all of history. It's not something special about Lemmy, it's in the nature of collective groups of humans interested in free expression, positive social change and social justice. We're angry, we're trapped in an abusive relationship with the Right and we all think we have the answers. The Left's greatest strengths and values (diversity, creativity, expression) are its greatest weaknesses. Same is true of the Right (conformity, hierarchy, rigidity).

  • My absolute favorite thing about LLMs is how when they do that they explain the problem with "my code" to me.
