Canada says “High”. we don’t have a functional mental health solution and it’s only gotten worse. And while we do have gun crime, it’s nowhere near the same as our southern neighbour because of our gun restrictions and we don’t Fetishize gun culture.
Mental health IS part of the problem. But the insane culture around owning firearms in the US directly leads to the prevalence of gun crime.
Religions don’t tend to spring up from nowhere.
Let me introduce you to our good friend Ronald Hubbard and this pesky Religion called “Scientology”
“Battle of the Bulge” ironically sounds like a great name for a battle around Trans rights.
The amount of data that has come out in the year since it’s launch has jumped mankinds knowledge of the cosmos forward by leaps and bounds.
it’s also further shown us just how little we know.
Zero. The answer to this question is Zero. There is no amount of Ketchup that should be added to Kraft Dinner.
nice attempted rage bate
There’s a massive difference between sharing views, IE: “I don’t like billionaires”, and Making threatening remarks, or calling to violence (not ok).
trying to frame me pointing out that calls to violence are NOT a good look for Lemmy, is not me calling out censorship. That’s you trying to rage bate the conversation into some argument about your rights (which ends where my nose begins)
Short Answer - Money.
Long Answer:
Money and Greed :p
But in reality, it’s usually just money. Ultimately if a company has decided that it’s sole purpose for existing is maximization of wealth for it’s owners, it will inevitably tend to go to the traditional business routes and hire executives who are educated in doing exactly that.
Technology companies in particular are prime for that because everyone hopes to eventually either become the next Apple/Microsoft, or be bought out by them. It’s fast, short term and big money.
Only time in my career I was laid off was because of this. Brother owners had been running their business for 40 years very well and very employee friendly. We got lots of bonuses and pay outs based on revenues and was an awesome place to work.
one of the 3 died and so the other 2 decided it was time to retire, and they did exactly this. Went out and hired a CEO who came from a reputable business school, who has done nothing but “be an executive” since graduating, and was purely a sociopath.
within 3 years the company was a horrendous place to work for. our bonuses nearly all disapeared, or started getting pegged to arbitrary company performance standards and other bullshit. by the end of 3 years 30% of us were then let go.
All because this shmuck’s primary objective was “maximize the value of the company above all else” and for him, that meant going after the employees. Since we released ZERO product in those 3 years since he took over.
A lot of the same opinion based rage baiting articles. same as we’ve seen spammed on Reddit communities.
I’m fairly new. Finding it hard to get truly into the experience given some of the more extreme takes that Lemmy seems to allow (or at least some federated servers)
Seems like Lemmee is sadly becoming a fairly isolated echo chamber for certain opinions only.
Can’t have that. Might hurt profits somewhere. A big insurance company here just removed one of the drugs from coverage inexplicably.
Makes you wonder why despite a doctor prescribing it for weight loss, the insurance company can go ahead and just, nope out. and what motivation do they have to keep people fat?
I made it through until Win11 announced (Had to because of work). Once 11 was announced I just said fuck it, and have been Linux since.
I no longer have any computers in my house running windows except a 10 year old Laptop that is available for the really weird and off windows requirements (like ESPHome programming)
You know it’s some asshole artist on the wall who complained that his art “devalued” his in some way and demanded retribution.
First colony in space.
we’ve all got a finite time and my dream is that mankind figures out how to spread throughout the stars.
a first colony is that step
There are definitely some federated servers that need to be removed from network
Lemmy.ml in particular is being used to push specific voices and banning anyone else
Banned apparently from asklemmy on there because one asshole interpreted me supporting Israel. When my comment exclusively was pointing out that the past the use made was low effort trolling meme in a thread complaining about trolling
So thank you davel@lemmy.ml for directly evidencing that you, and your node are hateful little agenda pushing shits.
I want to love lemmy
But the federated model will fail if nodes like the .ml continue to online and assholes like this mod have zero accountability
I honestly don’t feel like because I’d these problems this site is any better than Reddit.
We also need the power to block a node completely from our feeds. Also to block and ban entire nodes from our own communities as i don’t want any lemmy.ml users in my sub
You would be amazed.
At work we provide popup notifications for a week when a users password is close to expiring
They still miss it and need to call helpdesk
Also completely irrelevant and doesn’t do what he thinks he’s doing
I’ve fully moved to Linux with a 3080ti. Only non functional feature is HDR but that’s mostly a Linux issue
I went with PopOs and have had a pretty smooth experience
The problem is that there are trolls here and rage baiters.
Having an argument with them is their goal as it opens up discussion for them to contribute nothing and spread more division.
They aren’t trying to have a discussion but use the comment chain to spread shit for others.
The user here never called for opinions to be censored. He called for action against trolls and bots who intentionally try pushing false narratives and division
The fact you immediately jumped to argue about censorship rally evidence your own point for being here and that’s to be a shithead too
Proving op point
Also, being a treasonous front for Russian political interference didn’t help their cause
