being flooded with links with clickbait-y titles. back in may more posts were organic.
lemmy user SLAMS fellow contributors for using clickbait. /c/politics IN CHAOS.
Fuckwits trying to spam their YT channel with a 20 minute video containing one minute of information
Every day complaints about capitalism
To be fair, that was a lot of my Reddit, too. Antiwork and work reform were constantly on the front page lol.
It’s more a vent for them than anything else because they never actually do anything.
Meh, so do I.
While also being really bad at socialism
You are saying this is a good thing right?
Does it make a difference to do it here though?
Define difference. For me personally it’s pretty cool to finally have some sort of community that seems like minded on at least the surface level instead of just constantly being stared at as if I were a fish who just questioned the usefulness of water.
Will it spontaneously make come about utopia? Probably not but if that’s your lower bar for doing anything I’m pretty sure you are gonna have a bad time.
Just block the communities, or even the two most notorious instances as a whole. The user experience gets 100x better.
That’s just what happens when you don’t have nazi mods/admins constantly suppressing everything left of hitler.
They just suppress everything right of Karl Marx here.
Which is good. All Karl said is “Don’t exploit people” and “see politics like a science” all very reasonable stances.
Yeah, he was also a huge antisemite, so……
It’s the main reason why I don’t get along with fundamentalists. Marx was a very flawed person and had a lot of garbage views.

Imagine pooping.
reddit
> thread about whatever
> half the comments are discussing how things have failed to federate properly
I personally haven’t seen that a whole lot
Me either, but… is it because the comments about not federating properly aren’t federating properly?
The world may never know.
I haven’t really seen that since August. But things were pretty bad June and July after the API debacle
A ran into it earlier this week. Though it seems to have been caused by someone from Mastodon trying to interact with Lemmy. Some of their replies came through, others didn’t. And images attached to posts work, but not ones attached to comments.
Putting “rule” in the title for reasons I don’t understand.
That was actually stolen from Reddit lol
I think that’s the 196 community. One of the rules is that if you show up, you have to post something, so my understanding is that people just put “rule” in the title to say that they’re complying with that rule.
That’s a thing only on one specific instance, I think
one specific community, primarily one one instance. The concept of “rule” originates on r/196, where the only rule is that you have to post when you visit.
Therefore, its easiest to write “posting because rule” in the title rather than something creative. AFAIK this eventually devolved into just saying “Rule” or some sort of play on it.
Thanks for clearing that up

Don’t kid yourself lemmy has got furries for days
Tankie admins policing that you do not say improper things about totalitarian regimes around the world and banning people for “misinformation” if they say unflattering things. Don’t believe me, check the modlogs.
It’s pretty funny that this comment got deleted.
What did it say?
You can check the modlog
It’s so spot on

The AI generated shit memes.
I’ve blocked 20 or so meme communities and a few notorious shitposters, now it’s bearable.
Reddit is full of zoomer deep fried shit post. Lemmy is full on 2012 Reddit memes and I won’t complain.
'murica bad, DPRK OK
Just gotta block lemmygrad and about half of lemmy.ml

“not my fault at all it’s all the corps and govs. I can’t do anything, I’m not responsible for my consumption, and will not change in any way. But fuck this or that!”
do you ever stop fucking shilling for your corporate lords? Like even for five minutes?
Lol following me? You’re a treat.
Learn to be responsible for yourself. Start with your behavior and work outwards.
It’s like they went way out of their way to serve as a perfect example of what you just said. Hilarious!
Since your clever little use of the report button means we can’t talk there, I figured we’d bring the conversation here.
I don’t get class traitors like you, and I’m hoping by yelling at you enough I can figure out at least some of how you tick.
So just admitting to platform abuse? Very cool.
You don’t know how to hold 2 concepts at once so there’s little point explaining it again.
Corps / corrupt gov are the source of continued climate change .
Consumers who use petroleum products are responsible for their personal consumption. Same as meat eaters, same as car drivers.
I use gas, plastic, eat meat and drive a car a few times a week. I acknowledge I have a climate impact, and try to take steps to reduce it, but I’m not perfect. I won’t externalize my impact on this planet to anyone else, and hide behind in vogue language regarding “the owner class” as a means of distancing myself from my consumption. I won’t hide my opinion on that either.
That’s what makes me tick. That’s as clear as I can make my position.
If you think I’m a shill or something, ok, good for you. You won. Finish line. Continuing on is harassment and I’m not worried about your opinion of me using the built in report features.
Idk why this got heated this fast, but I’d like to add a normal argument point:
Compared to how much pollution any large scale company makes to even a housing complex, the housing is marginal. You don’t even need to think in battery factories, just regular ol’ warehouses. The amount of plastic they throw out, just to sit somewhere else, is orders of magnitude greater than me packaging my groceries in two bags.
While I could use one plastic bag less a day, sure, but if a warehouse throws out like 2 pallet’s worth of it a day, it’s nothing comparatively!
The argument is valid, that I am also in the statistics. However, why should I reduce the quality of my life if anyone who matters in the statistics just simply doesn’t care?
It’s from another thread, dude followed me. He got banned there.
But absolutely agree. The context of my original discussion was surrounding corporations saying consumers are to blame for climate change, which is obviously wrong. Corporations blocking tech advancement to green alternatives, and corruption of governments for profit is the root issue.
I was teasing out a specific point of they made all that shit for us. The stuff on the pallets wrapped in that plastic is for us. My only point was that we all consume, we are the end of the line. We need to recognize that although the magnitude is very different, we are a variable in the equation.
It’s important to check ignorance via internalization of negative externalities.
You might find my opinion on personal responsibility wrong, and that’s fine. I’m just out here trying to consume less, and acknowledge my impact. (And shared my opinion on an open forum).
You are right that the companies do what they do because we buy their stuff. But they do it in a way that is not enviroment friendly.
What I mean is, whatever happens there will be shops, and there will be a way shipment gets to them, and there will be a place where the cargo gets stored, and there will be a place where the products come from, and a there will be a source where the materials come from and go into the factory.
We only impact the last part, all the way from the tree in a forest to a shelf in a store we have no impact. It was packaged & unpackaged an unhealty number of times, it produced waste that we don’t even know about. Now, imo the problem is that these big corps don’t even consider wasting a dollar to recycle anything. if it’s cheaper (by any margin) to buy it again, it will be bought again, and the used, well, thrown out (into the ocean, or burnt idk). By the time it comes to me deciding between a paper/plastic/bio-plastic(?) bag it doesn’t matter. And the argument that we are the problem because we are still buying it is invalid, because you just simply have to buy food (for example).
I get it tho, if a billion humans all use up 1 plastic bags a day, that’s still 1b plastic bags/day. However, think about the plastic (and everything else) that was used to get that product to the shelfs, even the bags themselves.
Ok now I am convinced by the timings of your posts and mod responses, including private ones that you should not be aware of, that you are a sockpuppet for an activist mod.
You actively seek out conflict with dumbshit hot takes and then use your mod powers/connections to punish those that rise to your bait.
Exactly the same fucking tactic that ruined reddit.
Huh? You can easily review the mod log. You aren’t the main character bud.
If you’re so convinced I’m bad business report me or block me just leave me alone.
The admins have told me I’m not allowed to report people any more so I’m just going to curse at you till you go away. Funny how that only ever happened once I started pointing out your bootlicking bullshit.
Fuck every direction of off and then fund a world class think tank of highly educated sexual therapists to discover new and interesting ways to fuck off.
Then do them.
All at once.
Sincerely,
One of the dozen or so guys that plowed your mom last night.
