Ask Lemmy

Taking a dump on Systemd apparently

trashing OS'es that I hate namely Windows and IOS so far. I get that it comes off as elitism and fine with getting downvoted. If I am expressing myself like this, than other users express themselves by downvoting. Nothing wrong here.

Controversial stuff of course, but people here seem less likely to take the context of the post or comment into consideration than they did on reddit. The instance or community something is posted in doesn’t seem to make a difference. On lemmy you get a ton of public gut reactions like you would on twitter. This is opposed to a forum-style where posts only face ‘real’ public scrutiny if they become popular in their respective communities to the point where they hit the front page. Perhaps with more users this effect will diminish, although if mastadon grows substantially our posts will be viewed by a large number of people twitter-style which would substantially impact interaction quality imo.

Apparently posting a very old meme that is funny because it's not funny. Also making a reference to something not many people know about, moaning about learning to use new software being waste of time (I don't understand what was the issue. Maybe I was off-topic), and having an opinion that Apple is any good.

No idea. I don't keep track

no idea. never check.

Pretty much anything anti-American or pointing out hypocrisy of the West. And just like Reddit, it gets removed and silenced often. Or just downvoted to oblivion and then name calling.

Lemmy is very much like Reddit in the sense that it is "one of us... One of us.... One of us"

Misreading something. I have dyslexia and there have been times I misread a topic and then got super confused by the respond. Recently there was an article where Kamala Harris said to speed up Marijuana reclassification and my dyslexic brain read that as speed up research for marijuana. So I said that’s not how research works you can’t just speed it up and was so confused by everyone responding to me. Wasn’t til the next day I saw the post and read it properly. So usually my own foolishness.

There are a lot of people who still think nuclear power is the answer to all our problems. It really doesn't matter if I produce facts and evidence to show renewables are way cheaper and quicker to build, these people continue to reflexively downvote.
