"this is almost as good as reddit"

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

Thanks for the gold kind stranger

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 10 points 11 months ago

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

[-] CarlsIII@kbin.social 51 points 11 months ago

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

[-] fubo@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

If you're already using OpenBSD, sure!

I think Spez was just misunderstood.

"We should federate with Threads."

[-] HamSwagwich@showeq.com 29 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

You can post anything and it will get down voted.

I disagree. Downvoting...

[-] Synthead@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months 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 6 points 10 months 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 7 points 11 months ago

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

This just feels like rage bait

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

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

[-] fishos@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months 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

[-] DarkGamer@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

Every country that called itself communist claims to be working towards this, none have achieved it, most seem to have given up and instead settled on some form of authoritarianism and/or capitalism while claiming they are still working towards this goal.

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

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

[-] CheeseChief@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

Reddit did nothing wrong.

[-] frankPodmore@slrpnk.net 15 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 14 points 11 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Elon Musk is right.

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

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

[-] theKalash@feddit.ch 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months 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 11 months ago

Or just say “macOS master race” anywhere.

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago

Too far.

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Loving Israel, Reddit and capitalism.

[-] MrGerrit@feddit.nl 11 points 11 months ago

Politically I lean ever so slightly to the right.

Almost perma ban right there.

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.

[-] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

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.

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.
