But whats the point of having a terrible take without sharing it on the internet? That’d be like a big brother eating a whole bag of jerky and not cupping that shit to your face

Yeah ive has problems in discord rooms that require this cuz i refuse to give them my phone and they’re good at catching the fake numbers from the Internet i tried to pass off. I wonder if it’d work if i tried some alphabet mafia phone numbers?

Its not? Are you sure there’s no “reasonable defense” requirement within IP law here for N? Can you explain why it doesn’t apply?

I missed digg. I was on fark before reddit and somehow fark is still around and hasn’t changed at all

But while you’ve eloquently pointed out the inherent flaw in the definitions we use in this discussion, i could use your same argument against you, reducing your argument to:

“I don’t like this meme”

Because memes, sayings, chants, etc exist to boil down a nuanced concept into a quick statement of belief, you could nitpick em, all of em all day, and while a little mental flaggelation is fun we’d have spent that day missing the point.

Pedantica aside, do you disagree with the meaning behind the saying?

Ok, this was really good

They don’t. And they don’t need to! Being rude at people who disagree with the US State departments official position (which is not propaganda) is good enough, because propaganda = opinions that are not in line with the US state dept.

They believe that “fact” so powerfully that theyll get angry at you and insult you. Other facts become unnecessary if the person saying them is untrustworthy. Uncomfortable truths, any thoughts about the US’s many, many efforts to control the global south may be terminated along with the messenger.

Besides people use Ad hominem because it’s just so easy

Though reducing plastic waste is a great goal and i am glad for this victory, in (yanktown) grocery stores there is more crap wrapped in plastic than ever. Even my produce aisle has1-2 layers of plastic around them. Putting 100 plastic wrapped items into a few canvas bags is 1 step forward 2 steps back.

I agree with anyone saying “more is needed”, and i don’t want to seem against this at all, but I do want an accounting of the increasing amounts commercial/industrial are producing in the first place.

If we don’t do that too, in fact if we don’t focus on those then consumer-level initiatives are just is spinning our wheels.

I’m of the belief that more people more opinions wether you agree or not with them is always better

Right on brother.

As to the second part, I guess i see what you’re saying. Reddit had its own hidey-holes and echo chambers where you could hear different opinions, not so different from here. Federation and defederation between instances act in much the same way (perhaps due to lemmys small size) as the effect as staying in a few niche subreddits. Traversing between instances is familiar, not too different than leaving your sub and scrolling /all.

Hmmm. Hmmm. I guess you’re right, at least the way i use(d) them.

Perhaps the only difference between them is reddit’s success and enshittified corporate rent-seeking. Those guys all sound the same and end up making a place same-y and sterilized

2011-12 is when i discovered reddit coincidentally. Oh no…

In my single year here I’ve seen what i consider some of federation’s limits. It’s still too easy to fed and defed their way to an echo chamber, which to me is it’s own type of toxicity.

But you’re right because the answer to that is multiple accounts, whereas in a centralized server there are fewer players dictating and therefore fewer options.

It may be selfish but i don’t want a reddit migration. I don’t hate redditors cuz i was one (ok i do hate em but only the regular hate redditors have for each other) but if this place became as popular as that one, it would bring with it the things i deliberately left behind.

Lemmy is great the way it is

Best comment

The preview looked like shit.

Ugh. Stop. Talking. You Fucking. Knob.

Jesus Christ, someone might believe you so talk less. Please.

Please.

EDIT: PLEASE

Sounds like a business model to me. if i didn’t pirate everything i’d sign up anyway

in the internet since 1994…

Lawnmower Man?

What did you write? I only see ******

Oh hooray! I had wondered if I’d hear from you again! What did you think? I would love to hear it
