Have you ever considered not paying attention to what people say back?

I have never considered doing that at all. It happens naturally in the middle of conversations.

Goodbye.

It is said, bitch! Don’t you listen?

I have spoken.

4.3 people are now learning Chinese.

Not sure if that will help in this particular case, but that looks super neat anyway. I have been planning to build a custom modular synthesizer so I’ll try that out anyway. (Thankfully, it’s Kicad integration is free. Yay!)

While young birch stems can taste almost minty, it’s not going to do much to attract honeybees. The chances of those being honeybees is minimal. It’s possible, but unlikely. If the bees have the opportunity, they will probably be camping next to fruit trees of some kind instead.

This goes in the “shit UM would say” bucket.

Yeah, it’s a common pattern with the “victim” crap. Same stuff I was just testing, actually. (Check my comment history with UM over the last day or so; re: define propaganda)

Very nonsensical responses, no discussion and just absolute crap posts. If it is LLM assisted, it’s tuned to respond to people like they are hating on the acual article and UM. It’s an easy formula: post a shit article and just argue with everyone about anything while assuming they are commenting against the post.

But I have met people just like that IRL and it usually comes with some serious mental disorders or poorly prescribed medications. (I am being extremely serious with that comment and no joke is intended, at all.) It’s probably for that person’s benefit to get kick-banned at all turns. Assuming it’s actually one real person, social media is not where they need to be spending their time.

Totally. I was just adding a little more flavor for those who didn’t know what was going on, or were hungry for more information. My intent was to share in good taste, friend.

BTR’s be delivering meals hot and fresh. (Probably more hot than fresh, actually.) In the last article I read, the hogs were going all Pavlovian over the sound of Russian vehicles.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that. What I believe happens is that so much fake stuff is mixed with fact, the line between the two become blurred.

In most processed food, there is an acceptable amount of insect bits that we almost always consume. So, when I am eating a sandwich, maybe 0.05% of it is insect. To me though, I don’t think of it as my daily dose of extra protein: it’s just my sandwich.

The point of that colorful example was to explain how much worse the fake bits of Reddit actually are: Many people don’t usually know or even think about how much of it they actually consume. Lemmy has the same issues in some corners, but it’s much easier to identify.

It’s showing up on Lemmy fine. However, I think I need to create a post filter for hashtags or cross-site posts somehow.

#If #I #wanted #to #see #shortform #socialmedia #posts #i #would #use #the #proper #site #for #it … #testicles #wwjd #nascar

You were allowed to skip every Kazon episode except the one where they try to reverse engineer a replicator. (That might help on the next rewatch.)

Everything else aside, my biggest gripes are with service control. Instead of just “service” they had to invent a new name that was super close to an existing function (systemctl vs sysctl) and reverse the switch order. (service sshd stop vs systemctl stop sshd.service)

Besides that, I absolutely hate that all the service configs are not in a standard location. Well, you get things like sshd.conf which are still in etc, but the systemctl configs are who knows where.

There are more important things to hate on with systemd, but I went for the superficial this time and I absolutely hate service management with systemd now.

Its probably more accurate for me to say that I think there is a gradient of people between instances. Using politics as an example, and without details, people seem to gravitate to instances where they are with like-minded folk. Combine that with local or global filter preferences, and echo chambers start to form on a per-instance basis. Communities of higher interest will likely be on the users home instance, after all.

But yeah, I am fairly sure most of us browse /all and see content from all over Lemmy. We still mix and mingle, but are still lightly bound by our own filter preferences. See above paragraph.)

(I am not trying to dictate hard rules of behavior, btw. Lemmy is too diverse for anything definitive.)

Personally, I try to only block specific communities and not entire instances. That has seemed to keep my personal feeds fairly open.

Lemmy is a perfect replacement for Reddit because it’s not Reddit. The feed was curated and not as organic as the voting system made it seem. As time passed, it became more of an algorithmic engine for dopamine extraction. Sure, I had some great times there, but times change.

Lemmy is not a perfect copy, but it is a healthier replacement in some ways. Separate instances do amplify echo chambers, but, they mildly serve to keep different groups separated. Some personality types are just not compatible and that is OK. We still have common spaces and can still be civil, mostly.

For now, there isn’t as much room here for business. Sure, we have plenty of porn but this platform isn’t as easy to exploit for money as Reddit was. No centralized advertising structure is awesome, IMHO. (Some clients still leverage ads, but I don’t use them.)

Jesus. King of the Jews.

Jews control the space lasers and weather manipulation weapons, after all.

Aww shit! The mods don’t think so. You must conform to the will of the oligarchies or be erased from history. (Or just pictures. They also like to delete people from official pictures.)

But if anyone missed it:

I SAID THAT MANY PEOPLE DON’T LIKE AUTHORITARIAN DICTATORSHIPS!

It’s super noisy dude. I would toss that shit overboard in a heartbeat.
