"this is almost as good as reddit"

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

This is a good one. Lemmy is good, but not being able to create avatars or give wholesome awards to posts kinda makes me want to go back

[-] metaStatic@kbin.social 22 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the gold kind stranger

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 11 points 1 year ago

(I had to forcibly remind myself that we're upvoting what we'd normally downvote. Good work!)

[-] CarlsIII@kbin.social 52 points 1 year ago

I don’t see any reason for me to use Linux

[-] fubo@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

If you're already using OpenBSD, sure!

I think Spez was just misunderstood.

"We should federate with Threads."

"Israel's actions against Hamas are completely justified."

[-] HamSwagwich@showeq.com 30 points 1 year ago

You can post anything and it will get down voted. Lemmy is as toxic as reddit and people use downvote as a tool to suppress what they don't like, regardless of the merit of the comment.

[-] 520@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago

You can post anything and it will get down voted.

I disagree. Downvoting...

[-] Synthead@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

The more I use it, the less I like it. For some reason, it feels like a majority of the people here are already angry and argumentative, and they are happy to snap and make me their current problem.

The hive mind aspect is also ~5x worse than Reddit. People love to cover their ears here, even in constructive conversations. It's a real shame.

[-] PrettyLights@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

A lot of users here were pushed out of other communities. They carry the toxicity with them.

Downvoting doesn't really suppress anything.

Also you can effectivly disable it by switching to a frontend that hides votes and sorting by new. I think that's even the default for some instances.

[-] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I think you fell for the comment that would be guaranteed to be downvoted.

This just feels like rage bait

[-] fishos@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

All the failed examples of communism that people say "that's only because it wasn't really communism" are really proof of why communism can't work at all. If a system is what it does, then communism always creates facism.

Edit: autocorrect originally changed it to "racism". Still got upvote lol

I'm currently commenting on all the Linux communities - "I don't have this problem because I use Windows" and they're not seeing the irony

[-] Maddie@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago

Taylor Swift is the first ethical billionaire

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

I'm going to get downvoted for this, but...

[-] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 16 points 1 year ago

Firefox sucks.

[-] frankPodmore@slrpnk.net 15 points 1 year ago

Isn't Facebook free software, since it doesn't cost anything?

[-] CheeseChief@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Reddit did nothing wrong.

[-] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Elon Musk is right.

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Cars are awesome! Everyone should own at least 3 or 4 of them!

Loving Israel, Reddit and capitalism.

[-] theKalash@feddit.ch 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Anywhere on lemmy? That should be easy. Basically go to any niche community and shit on their central theme.

For example explain how windows is the superior OS on a linux instance. Or say you use chrome on a privacy instance.

[-] gullible@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Or just say β€œmacOS master race” anywhere.

[-] MrGerrit@feddit.nl 11 points 1 year ago

Politically I lean ever so slightly to the right.

Almost perma ban right there.

Firefox bad, chromium good

Israel did nothing wrong. Ever.

[-] LegionEris@feddit.nl 8 points 1 year ago

Tbh I'd just say some racist shit. I'm not gonna write the racist things I would say I legitimately believed it would save my wife's life. I am from the deep south. I have all that shit in a neglected shed in the backlot of my brain. Not thoughts and opinions, just hurtful words. And I can't forget them because I was an elementary school vocab whiz when I first heard most of them.

All you meatflakes should go vegan, and if you don't you're a cruel, horrible person. The only reason not to is you're a selfish piece of shit.

[-] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

I literally just said vegan was a green flag in someone for me and it made people mad.

[-] RHSJack@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

4 day work week? I did my own research as a manager and find that actually a SIX day work week is better for workers.

Allying with Putin will fix all of America's problems

The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.

[-] BiggestBulb@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Trump's presidency was the best thing that ever happened to this nation

Bill O'Reilly had a lot of great points

Programming isn't hard at all, it's just \<\this> and anyone who is not able to grasp that is immediately stupid

Basically anything creationist in nature stating it as fact

If this comment gets to 10 upvotes, I will donate a Windows PC with Chrome installed! And with Reddit bookmarked.
