joining the fediverse to bitch about reddit is the same as going on a date, and spending the whole night talking about your ex
I’m tired about reading about reddit here....
I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.
i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.
I'd rather have a "Would you like to hide all Sports related Content?" button than a "Would you like to hide all NSFW content?" button
Now no one will ever see all those super long !remindme bot posts set for 5, 10 or 15 years on Reddit
Now that we are all switching to Lemmy, now is the time for all the redditors with embarrassing usernames to make their username right! Don't screw up this time!
When you're a kid, you don't realize you're also watching your mom and dad grow up.
Big Tech companies are finally getting the names we thought dystopian megacorps would have
Meta Platforms. X Corp. tell me those aren’t straight from a strangely prescient cyberpunk classic
We're lucky that our bodies require sleep, otherwise our cultures would have us working 16-20 hour days.
The most Texan of all expressions - Y'All - is ungendered and therefore woke
The dominance of cat content VS dog content on Lemmy reflects its current techie userbase
I originally joined Reddit in 2011, and in the beginning it was dominated by cat content. It was rare to see a post about dogs. Sometime in the mid 20-teens this phenomenon reversed. It’s always been a “pet theory” of mine that this reversal was due to Reddit becoming mainstream, and that it’s initial nerdy/techie user...
We never wash our belts, although they are the first thing we touch when leaving the toilet, even before we wash our hands
I feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy
Maybe it’s just because there’s less content on Lemmy as of right now, but I remember doomscrolling Reddit, but now I only briefly open Lemmy once or twice a day....
If Lemmy and Mastodon continues to get popular, we will eventually get Instance wars.
If the descentralization of social networks continue, we will have to prepare for the eventual rise of the instances wars, where people will start to fight about which instance is better and which one is weird to be in and so on, but that’s for the future of us all.
They use to tell us we couldnt trust Wikipedia. Now we know. Wikipedia is the only website you can trust.
Any time you're told that the weak and vulnerable are responsible for how bad things are, rather than the rich and powerful, you're being lied to
I feel sorry for men who have to wear pants
I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!
It's raining men and let the bodies hit the floor could be about the same event from radically different points of view
discuss.
Lemmy is more left leaning because the rights popularity seen on other social media are driven by bots that are not here.
Yet.
People who haven't gotten into habit of googling stuff in the last 20 years might not get into it at all anymore because of how search engines are gamed with SEO spam tactics nowadays
Lemmy is so good right now for no particular reason
It's not the kids, not the lurkers, not the mods... y'all just nice people. Lemmy's got a good vibe going... or at least enough windows that we can close if the vibe gets shit.
We should rename Solar to Patriot Power to make it palatable to the right
The Left is doing it wrong....
Instead of movies and crappy games on those in-flight displays, they should just stream the view out the cockpit window.
Like, I’m on a plane. I don’t want to watch Toy Story when I can do that at home, I want to see what the pilots see. And that way every seat has technically a window to look out of.
The "just google it" mantra has probably held back quite a lot of interesting conversations and debate
I’ve always been a “lurker” on all platforms and communities because when I do have a question or would like to contribute my first thought has become:...
I feel like we're all stuck in a movie where all the rich people live on some kind of floating island or satellite with everything they need to live well, and all of us have zero chance of going there
I have seen a few of these with similar story lines and realized we are living it right now. They have the best healthcare, the best food, the best everything and most of us are a few dollars from disaster. That scares some of us to death literally from all the stress it causes.
