Super annoying but a great time to bring up Lemmy’s crossposting feature! If the image is hosted nonlocally and posted separately, Lemmy can automatically combine the posts and show it as crosspost links. Seems like this feature should work for local media as well but does not seem to in this case. Now this could be user error or this may be a place that the feature can be improved.
On top of that, what did he expect from a FOSS software made by a tankie? Mixed in with a migration from a corporation fucking their shit? Did he think we would praise them? Lol
Uhh, I have to disagree. Hate for corporations isn’t hard coded into Lemmy and neither of us are using an instance moderated by the dev. Lemmy could easily be used by right-wingers
I’m actually fed up with that entire “let’s just ignore everything that’s bad and pretend everything’s fine”/ignorance is bliss/good vibes only approach to using the Internet.
Content warnings for everything nowadays , instead of some trigger warnings for the seriously upsetting shit.
Things aren’t getting better if we keep our eyes closed.
Don’t want to doomscroll? Block or mute what you don’t want to see. We used to call that filter sovereignty when web 2.0 got started and it somehow mutated into “don’t show me anything that might stress me out”.
I don’t like that development and I’m glad Lemmy seems to be rather chill so far.
I’d personally rather see one content warning too many than one too few. You never know who the person on the other end might be going through right now, so a warning for a potentially triggering piece of content is never unnecessary.
Totally agree with you on the rest of your points, though.
Yes, I think content warnings make it easier to have difficult conversations, not harder. People who don’t want to discuss something are not magically going to become open to those discussions because you spring the topic on them without warning. Content warnings save time, and give people a chance to brace themselves before going into what is usually a big fight.
I think this is a pretty good idea, actually. While this kind of information is available in most western places, people usually can’t be bothered to look it up and then have very weird ideas about what their taxes are probably spent on. This would at least help clear some things up.
Tories in the UK did this and obfuscated to their agenda
They showed "pensions" but that was only public sector worker pensions then added the universal state pension to the "benefits" section to claim we had a bloated benefits budget for scroungers despite them being the party of triple lock pension (linked to greater of wages, inflation and aribitary 2%)
Coleslaw is already pretty cold when you eat it. So if anything it would just be crunchier. But no haven’t had it, but if I saw it at a BBQ, I’d def partake.
I pirate it but my parents don’t want to deal with that and many of my friends don’t want to deal with that or worry of being caught commiting a crime even though you will never be caught
