MODERATORS
Eugenics, or creating better humans with the wisdom not to trash the planet and constantly risk the final nuclear war. With new, more powerful weapons being invented every century, we may not be able to survive without eugenics, because when a single sociopathic dictator can afford an Earth-ending weapon, one of them will use it.
Apparently asking what people are going to do to relax after voting must be taboo, because my post got deleted without me being told why.
The moderators have the power therefor when they do something rude it actually isn't rude. In fact you are rude for suggesting that they are being rude, and deserve punishment.
It's funny how power works.
The left lane, and how no, it's not for going as fast as you want to drive.
Thank you, even if the some people believe there is a specific lane to constantly edge ahead of poor slow drivers, that is not the ideal lane to be the fastest car in. People merge on from left a lot more than you notice. I live in a city that has a nearly equal amounts of merges from left.
- "Why doesn't this site have more in common with reddit, which it's literally a clone of?"
- Can't bring up Trans people existing (without a weirdo downvoting you, of course)
- Can't be critical of... a certain religion without getting jumped by keyboard warriors and called a Genocide Supporter
- Don't even get me started on whatever the heck is with the Hexbear folks...
- Lemmy is, at times, a bit of an echo chamber
I've not yet heard any claims on or outside Lemmy that it is a Reddit clone. The model of hosting forums/communities was never unique to Reddit as far as I know.
I'm curious what you're willing to generally apply to "Hexbear folks" (I don't think I've talked to many).
And Lemmy is totally an echo chamber most of the time (based on my experience, obviously mileage may vary) but it wasn't intended to be that way unlike almost every commercial social media platform. I would assume this distinction is why people would be less likely to be willing to admit it.
Lemmy is full of people that I would never want to hang out with IRL. Even if I agree with most of what they're saying, they manage to say it in the most neckbeardy way possible.
Yeah it seems the topic is irrelevant. They'll eventually just start yammering about communism, Linux and ublock. It's hard to have a conversation on here that doesn't get sidelined by those things. I can't imagine these people carrying on a normal conversation in the real world, and I don't think they understand that the world exists outside of those narrow interests.
Like OP will say they hate MS Teams. Person will say stop using Microsoft. OP will say, I'd love to but my government employer is an MS shop. Person will say then quit your job. K...
It's either very sheltered people who've not worked or interacted in 'the mainstream' or, really young naive people who think that your FOSS convictions will stand up against the need to earn a living.
I prefer it to Reddit still, but it gets a bit tedious.
OOL on hexbear people
As a lesbian trans person I like the words dyke and tranny, but only use it for myself. They're funny and cute. I was honestly surprised to learn that people are so deeply against the words.
As a lesbian trans person I'll be glad to not hear those words said about me thanks.
Digital piracy not being an immoral crime (or crime at all) and not making one a horrible person.
I don't think this one should be as controversial as it is.
On lemmy?

Gets torrents of down votes every time. But I literally use it a lot at work and it's brilliant.
