It’s just interesting to me how radicalized the Internet is nowadays. Any excuse to bring up a way to shit on the US is jumped at. Especially on Le.my. I’m starting to wondering if that’s the point of Lemmy as well.
It’s not like the small communities here are surviving.

Always weird how excited people are to shoehorn blaming the US imo

I mean he’s always been like this, it’s just getting worse.
Before Donda passed, he already had the infamous “George Bush hates black people” thing and already ran up on stage at the EMAs to say he deserved the award, not the winners. I’m sure there’s plenty more documented exmaples , and in those days, the spotlight wasn’t on him 24/7.

Huh, guess I might technically live in a food dessert
low-income census tracts that are more than one mile from a supermarket in urban or suburban areas and more than 10 miles from a supermarket in rural areas.
- Comment on Starbucks told to reopen stores Labor board finds were closed over union organizing 10 months ago:
Did that title take anyone else a few tries to understand?
Like I feel like it’d be easier to understand if they put “reopen stores that the labor board finds” or something

But, plenty of chain grocery stores do have their bread baked off-site and delivered.
- Comment on My children will refer to me as father. 10 months ago:
Seems like anything could be a slur if used in an offensive context then, right?
Like, if I said “okay tomato”, you could take it as offensive it in turns tomato into a slur.
I guess I’m just thinking while typing here, but if that’s what a slur is, maybe we need a new term for contextless offensive words?
- Comment on My children will refer to me as father. 10 months ago:
Just curious. Would saying something like “youngin” be considered a slur as well then?

I don’t have to run windows, or anything. I can run what I want.
But the people who shoehorn Linux into every conversation are also the ones who spend more time finding acceptance online rather than actually being “friends” with people IRL. Tbh, I have you coined for a stereotype I know and I apologize about that. I can’t help it. I just know mfers who talk like you are commenting so my bad if I attach opinions to you, I really don’t mean to. That’s why I’m trying to ask questions.
But you do not believe social media is manipulated then, and is just a conspiracy theory? I never accused any party of being behind the manipulations and I haven’t provided any theoretical motivations. Just wondered if you believed social media is an accurate portrayal of the populations opinions.
Also, mfers try to act superior cause they got Linux, that’s why they “get a negative reaction”. Look how you are reacting to someone just mentioning the idea of mentioning windows ha!
- Comment on Weird 🤔 11 months ago:
I agree with the sentiment that we are on a FLOSS platform, so most people are going to prefer Linux.
But the rest of that comment is silly.
Saying anything about Windows/Max doesn’t mean the commenter is fanboying.
Also, are you saying you dont believe social media was manipulated to interfere with American politics?
And the last one really cracks me up about making friends. “Aggressively fanboying” Windows or Mac doesn’t make you friends, but fanboying Linux does? You and I are definitely in different areas of CS then ha!
I think “fanboying” in general is the actual issue

You must be a car driving capitalist tankie to be hatting on this place.
jk, I definitely agree. This place is way more radicalized than Reddit, or at least it isn’t nearly as diluted by bots so it seems more prominent… Some dope people around here but I’m definitely losing hope that this place will grow into a cool place.
It’s all the same topic posts and the same hateful comments, but you can’t even find small active communities to get away from it.

At this point, I really can’t tell who’s joking around or who’s being serious in this thread.
Shits cracking me up though reading this all as serious discussion.

How do you think even/odd detectors work? A team of coders has been working on this else if for years…
If you want to help

Actually I stumbled onto that one before I posted. I have a new goal in life to get to a level that Hacker News posts are just light reading for me.
For now, most of that is way above my pay grade but I loved the posts I understood ha

Heard the name before, had no idea what it was. Guess that Fatboy Slim Slash Dot song brainwashed me into thinking it was the only Slash Dot that matters ha
Appreciate it

I wanted to see alternatives to compare.
I guess you can consider branching out a distrust of what is known.
Would that mean you would trust mob mentality of the mentality of an individual as a rule then?
Tbh though, I’m not sure why you are being confrontational, I just was asking about alternatives for curiosity reasons. It’s nothing I’m really invested in, just wanted to explore.

Oh shit, Digg is still around and basically what I was curious about
Sadly, looks like the news/tech topics are pretty dead user wise, but maybe I just need to explore it better to understand.
Appreciate it, curious if the post selection is better or worse than the popular forums.

You brought in trust, I didn’t.
I just don’t think purely population based curation is coming up with the best content selection. I wanted to see alternatives.
- Comment on Are there any active news communities similar to Lemmy/Reddit, but users can only vote and comment, not post articles? 11 months ago:
I guess kind of.
But the idea would still be an aggregation of different sources, but mainly curated by a select few, rather than the full population. Users would still influence post order and all that.
Ohwell, I didn’t think it’d exist, or be well known if it does, but was just posting to see if anyone here knew of anything.
