not despised, but i think the Apple Watch injunction really hurt them because it was around the holiday season. That, and the general consumer pretty much knew there wasn’t anything new with the new iPhone that warranted an upgrade. Even my rich, boomer dad said he didn’t see why it would be worth it to upgrade and he always gets the newest models.

Utah sues TikTok, alleging it lures children into addictive and destructive social media habits (apnews.com)

That’s not true at all. Are members of the Church of Jesus Christ misguided in how they treat their fellow members and their youth? Yes. But its fundamental teachings (not the toxic traditions of the members) are one of peace, love, and hope. This type of comment is rude, and offensive, and if it were regarding another group this kind of comment would be downvoted. But because it’s against a religion it’s ok to shit on their beliefs? This sentiment only breeds toxicity, and if we really want to help others who are affected by the toxic behaviors of all groups, we need to start with ourselves and how we treat (and look at) those whose beliefs differ from our own.

The sources of that Wikipedia page are solely from websites that are biasedly antagonistic towards the church. Could you link to official church teachings regarding this topic?

You mean as soon as two competeting companies merged to create a monopoly it caused massive problems? Who could have guessed!

I played VR and had a blast. It was usually the ones that were mounted to the ceiling at a mall arcades. I could play no big deal for hours. My brother in law got a vr headset for Christmas and I tried to use it and got unbelievably sick after 20 minutes of playing it.

I played super hot, some moving zombie game, and that plank game on thw vr headsets at mall arcades with no problem moving around, twisting, and moving fast. I played a stationary puzzle game on my bil’s. I dont know what causes the sickness but it was veey bad on his unit. I womder if the suspension at the mall arcades made the difference, rather than having a free roaming headset.

I want to have this level of belief. After Netflix benefitting from their enshittification, I believe this will just become the new norm and I’ll just be pushed further from societal norms because I’m not willing to shell out for all of this bullshit, while the vast majority of society is. I want to believe these companies will fail in their ventures to treat their customers like shit, but if I’ve learned anything it’s that society will do anything for their shit.

People saying it’s a terrific movie are being incredibly misleading. Across the Spiderverse is 100% setup, 0% payoff.

Apparently it targets the gene specifically for growing your teeth, so it should only grow your teeth where it was designed to.

Why is my Lemmy experience feeling so lame? **UPDATE**

I’ve subscribed to a plethora of communities that really interest me and actually have posts and discussions in them, but I have to go to the specific community to see this. My “Subscribed” feed only contains a few of the same posts that I’ve seen for weeks in Hot, the same posts from even longer ago in “Active”,...

SPOOSER OP ,

Thanks, I’ll keep trying to do my part to grow my favorite communities on Lemmy.

SPOOSER OP ,

I appreciate the sorting suggestion! I’ll try that. I understand that Lemmy isn’t as big as Reddit, but I swear there are more people than my feed is leading me to believe.

SPOOSER OP ,

The amount of responses in this post have been extremely reassuring. I honestly just felt like I was using the site alone with a bunch of bots lol

SPOOSER OP ,

That was my main reason for posting this question, to see if I’m alone in this site with just a bunch of bots posting. All these responses have given me hope!

SPOOSER OP ,

Your typo calling Elon melon is the cherry on top of this discussion

SPOOSER OP ,

Seems like it, only old posts dont dissapear into the void, they stick around forever.

SPOOSER OP ,

I did that and it confused the hell out of me, half of my instances communities were empty all of a sudden

SPOOSER OP , (edited )

Your rant post is ill-placed, because I’m trying to do that. I’ve already posted and commented multiple posts in communities I enjoy trying to garner attention and content. But i’m also a busy person who’s trying to live with a family, children, and a budding carreer. I understand I need to be a part of the community and I am doing more now than I ever have on Reddit.

EDIT: I also wanted to add that this post is not about me complaining about a lack of content, it was a misunderstanding of the sorting algorithm. After posting this, I got lots of very helpful advice to help me use Lemmy’s sorting better and my enjoyment of Lemmy has improved immensly to the point of where my experience on Lemmy is no longer lame.

EDIT 2: I must have misread your post because it was not condesending, but more motivating. I appreciate the sentiment and redact the condesending part, but stand by the rest of what I’ve said. I deleted the entire second paragraph because I was defensive and wrong in its entirety. I appreciate the sentiment while affirming I am trying to contribute more while my life is still very busy.

SPOOSER OP ,

I have, thankfully, seemed to have avoided a lot of the furry porn. If you like it, more power to you! I’m thankful I can avoid that kind of content!

SPOOSER OP ,

I think what your post was getting at was valid, and I promide I will do my best to not be the reason Lemmy has a lack of content, i want to do my best to contribute! I don’t think your intentions were wrong, and hope you continue to advocate for people to contribute.

I use an Android, and I wouldn’t necessarily say that Android sms messaging is good software. Most of our sms apps either suck, are mined by corporations for data, or both. Apple isn’t better in those regards, I’m just saying that it isn’t one of Android’s strengths over Apple.

SPOOSER ,

Same happened to me! I figured I’d find an instance hosted closer to my home anyway and I found this little instance that I’ve really enjoyed.

SPOOSER ,

I really feel like it doesn’t matter what you use as long as it’s part of the Fediverse. If whatever you’ve chosen is federated we all benefit. I feel that ever since Kbin federated there’s way more content even on Lemmy. I’m just glad that we can all see and interact with one another.

SPOOSER ,

If your instance defederates from an instance, or you are defederated from an instance you enjoy, you can always move to a new account. Unlike Reddit, you don’t have Karma to link you to your account so you can just move over to a different instance (although subscribing to all of your favorite communities again is a pain in the ass)

SPOOSER ,

I agree wholeheartedly that fragmentation needs to be addressed.
