  • Survivor bias aside, I’m not sure the UI doesn’t make this drive-by trolling worse. The reddit UI (hi Lemmy) is threaded but disjoint, and the excellent response to one tree of responses isn’t useful to or seen in another tree – and those trees will develop in parallel in almost every discussion.

    I worry that quips and cheap takes stand out because they’re fast and block actual discussion more, so have that mock ‘finalising’ effect. Ending a discussion thread is not concluding it .

    … and we all have that cousin whom no one invites anywhere because he’ll argue the shit out of something like a jackal worrying a carcass, until people just give up and let him wander smugly off to his little corner in contrarian triumph.











  • Dude. Politics is huge right now because we’re going through a tough time globally. It’s a lot of people justifying cruelty and invasions.

    These were the hot topics so that’s what grew fastest. Remember that Lemmy is still kinda new.

    I know that if I need an oura-/smart ring community I can either wait or I can start one. I’m not gonna start one as it’d be negligent of me.

    What do you want to see? What do you not? Find or start what you want, and block what you do not.


  • Insignificant in representation, but to my family the news of my shit bag realtor uncle selling off the palm springs home he’s been crowing about for two decades to move back to the Calgary burbs with the plebes like us is news we’ve been waiting for.

    The number of times we’ll have to bring it up, “forgetting” he sold it and asking for the story again, how he had to abandon America for the country he disparaged as a socialist nightmare, will be too high.
