I’m honestly just surprised that people are putting up with their horrible redesigned webclient and app. I use Reddit a lot less than I used to specifically because of Lemmy, pretty much only for more niche tech/programming stuff not yet found on Lemmy, but when I do it’s strictly old.reddit.com and Slide for Reddit.

Being able to only see two or three comments deep in a forum specifically designed around nested comments is unacceptable.

Many times a day. It has almost completely replaced Reddit for me.

Htop. A system monitor shouldn’t be using a significant portion of your system resources. It even supports mouse input from inside the terminal!

The arts are watered down and bent over backwards for profit.

See: All the mainstream media franchises.

Also see: All the tax evasion schemes billionaires have devised involving the arts.

They don’t need memory vulrnabiluties. Pretty much every CPU in the world is US designed with integrated proprietary, secretive, and barely documented “management” cores. Anyone who thinks the CIA/NSA don’t have their fingers in those is naïve.

Example: Management Engine, Secure Enclave, this https://yewtu.be/watch?v=_eSAF_qT_FY

Not even mentioning software backdoors in proprietary US operating systems like Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, etc.

Edit: Love the downvotes. It’s pretty rich that after the Snowden files anyone still doubts that they’d do something as simple as ordering a US based chip maker to put a backdoor in for them. This is also the country whose intelligence agency did MK Ultra and Project Stargate. Not to mention the developmemt and use of Agent Orange and the first and only two uses of nuclear weapons in combat. They have more than shown that absolutely nothing is beneath them or sacred, and y’all can’t fathom the possibility that there’s a NSA backdoor in that slick new Ryzen 7 CPU?

Seriously. Utopia? Peak Western centrism, things have been terrible for the global South since colonialism began, and it’s only been slowly but surely improving because the West is actively imploding.

Even in the West, Indigenous people and people of colour are still very much getting the business end handed to them. It was only ever a utopia for white people.

If you don’t, as in you remove yourself from the mod list, it becomes open to moderation requests, where someone else who’ve participated in it can ask to take over the community.

Ah yes. The halting problem of English.

Actually, are languages Turing complete? I feel like they’re complex and interactive enough to be. Searching it up only gave results about programming languages, not human languages.

Debated more NATO shills on Lemmy

Lemmy.ml is not the main instance. There is no main instance. That’s the point of the fediverse.

Yeah and it fucking sucks.

Thank you!

Does "having covid 19” count as a plan?

I am suffering so much right now

China, Cuba, Vietnam, the DPRK, and the Lao People’s Republic are still socialist, and greatly inspired the founding of socialist and communist parties in the rest of the world, including the West. All of those came as a result of the Russian revolutions (plural, because the February revolution set the stage for the October revolution).

I actually haven’t see many “bump” comments yet. Hopefully it doesn’t become a thing here, because otherwise bumping threads because someone made a new (real) comment is pretty useful IMO. I believe the current sorter stops bumping threads with new comments after a while to keep the same thread from being on the front page for months (if a thread needs to be, it should probably get pinned and not rely on new activity).

A somewhat related behaviour is voting based on the score, e.g. downvoting a deeply negative comment. I fell for this too and I am so glad that you can disable the displaying of the score so that the only thing that matters is content.

A particularly egregious example on Reddit is /r/catsstandingup. Like, it’s already a joke subreddits where you’re only allowed to say one thing, but then you see some people with HUNDREDS of downvotes for saying the only thing they’re supposed to say while everyone else gets upvoted. Not that I care (I’ve never even commented in that sub), but it’s still really stupid, especially on what’s supposed to be a wholesome, non-serious community.

Profile downvoting. When someone goes through your entire profile and downvotes everything because they have spite for you. I’ve had it happen to me and many other prominent users have experienced it too, and you can tell because you suddenly get -1 on all your posts, even ones that couldn’t possibly be inflammatory or posts on small communities that have very little activity, and they come close enough together that it can’t reasonably be from separate people. Also related: down voting everything in an entire community.

I know internet points mean nothing, and honestly I don’t really care, but it’s just annoying. Like, what did you gain from doing that when the block button exists?

I think the main issue baring that is simply Lemmy’s size. We don’t have enough users for that yet.

Alao, I think awards and reddit coins (and now reddit NFTs, yeah…) are the “this forum going to shit” express. It’s like they want to turn their platform more and more infantile and full of people trying to game the awards system instead of actually participating in good faith.

By troubleshooting did you mean stuff like programming or hobby communities where people post their issue and people try to help them? Maybe it’s just the communities I use, but I found that those are the last tolerable places on Reddit specifically because the rules on professionalism and high effort posts are quite strict, so a “this” chain will most likely get removed.

Honestly, those communities are the last ones keeping me on Reddit. Once Lemmy gets big enough that I can post help threads and actually get answers, I’m gone from Reddit for good.
