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.
We need to stop talking and ACT !
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.
While also being really bad at socialism
Meh, so do I.
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.

DW i’m not talking about the economics, he was right about that. I’m referring to the stuff he want back on later in life upon finding out more. Scientific socialism is all about growing and learning from your mistakes and even though Marx was initially wrong about a lot of stuff, his ideology steered him right back on the correct path; proving that even a flawed person can become a force of overwhelming good through following socialism. Social fascists (liberals) will point to all the bad things a socialist has said/done not realizing that shit gets better with time, while their people start bad and get worse over the period of their life because their ideology is one of exploitation and evil.
Just block the communities, or even the two most notorious instances as a whole. The user experience gets 100x better.
Linux and the whole FOSS everything thing.
Except when it comes to entertainment. Then it’s “Don’t touch my Plex”
Decide: FOSS everywhere or where applicable and don’t force your vision onto other users.
Really? I generally see people responding to Plex stuff by recommending jellyfin.
Yeah sure. But it’s (plex) usually mentioned first and then either by the foss evangelists (the annoying kind) or those not willing to spend money on plex and just wanting to recommend something else (the not annoying kind)
Based.
4 copies of every news story.
I thought that was just my feed.
One for the scrapbook, one for the noticeboard, one for the dunny, and one spare just in case.
8 copies of every nude.
“Hey Lemmy, I need a new refrigerator. Are there any good FOSS (preferably federated) options available?”
That and Star Trek memes.
Lmao. That’s a good thing!!!
The repost bots syncing vapid content from Reddit.
“Lemmy isn’t Reddit” but here are hundreds of communities that have no engagement outside of a bot mirroring Reddit content.
I just blocked all of them when they started spamming my feed.
“communities”
kind of a stretch to call those communities, when it’s just a bot talking to itself.
I’ve honestly yet to see or feel those. I however exclusively browse my subscriptions feed, so I guess I filtered most of them out by my community choices?
Some people are insane/brave enough to regularly view all/new. The bottom of the barrel must be broad and terrible.
Not enough content to not use all.
Agreed, in reddit I just browsed my subs and found some new ones every so often. In lemmy I browse all and block communities I’m not interested in.
Yeah, but all/new? If I go to all, it’s all/ top day. All/new is before the mods can deal with the truly awful stuff.
Block lemmit.online dude. Lemmy has supported users blocking instances for months. Or block @bot@lemmit.online, because Lemmy has supported blocking users for even longer.
Lemmy has supported users blocking instances for months.
Depends on your instance; mine only switched last thursday.
Same, and I still haven’t figured out where to go to block instances instead of individual communities
Wait, the Reddit bot still works?
How so if Reddit changed (dumbed down) their API?
Anyway, I blocked that bot since long ago hah
The most Lemmy thing for me is that I see more wholesomeness here than on Reddit, I’m not sure if that is the answer you were looking for, but that has been my experience so far.
I agree and it’s a nice change of pace. I hope we can strive to keep it that way.
<3 comrade
Constantly telling people to install Linux, completely disregarding any nuance.
Install Linux
I’m not familiar, is Nuance the new hip distro I should be using?
Nah, it’s BSD-based.
Don’t forget your thigh high socks and furry butt plug after you install Linux.
Nuance?
/s
The only nuance I’ve seen is “Ubuntu bad”
Talking about Lemmy.
Stumble across an interesting community that’s been dormant for a few months
Decide to try making my own post there to see if others will follow and get the community going again
Get immediately downvoted by the subscribers who haven’t posted anything for 6 months and yelled at for posting something that’s not exactly what they wanted to see there, even though it clearly fits the rules
Make a few more posts in hopes of winning someone over then give up because people are being dicks or just not engaging at all
Eventually give up and watch the community die again
This has happened to me several times since I started using Lemmy lol
Post food in food porn. Gets ridiculed because my food is an abomination and should not be called by the foods name. See others post butchered regional food that i definitely know the locals will not recognize as that food. That post gets praised for putting an effort. WTF?
I dare someone to post a pic of a deep dish pizza there. You’ll get wrecked.
Is it really that in depth? I mean good looking food is what I’m there for.
What I expected was food appreciation no matter how it looks or how it strays from the traditional recipe. But what I got was someone telling me that what I posted was not a traditional food yet I’m seeing other non tradional food getting praised.
I simply want food appreciation not food gatekeeping.

Honestly, just keep posting. You’ll bend them or they’ll start posting their own interests.
Which communities?
I’ve tried posting in metalcore, dnb, and phonk and the users don’t get mad at me or anything but there’s just not that much engagement.
Which communities
People saying how it’s no better than Reddit, without contributing anything but vitriol and negativity.
Yeah it does seem a bit more pessimistic than reddit to me, I wonder why it is
Interesting, I feel the opposite. I have had a few run-ins with… interesting people on here, but nowhere near as bad as on Reddit.
What subs were/are you on? I mostly only go back for my region-specific meme sub, so I guess it makes sense that there is less negativity. Plus sometimes searches with site:reddit.com
I don’t go on Reddit anymore except when some Google search brings me there hehe. I used to be mostly on gaming, tech and programming subreddits, plus a handful of hobby related subs like /r/mechanicalkeyboards, /r/fountainpens, and so on. Very little shitposting/memeing going on, admittedly.
I’m too lazy to type site:reddit.com, I just append “Reddit” at the end of my search query lol
Haha I set up
sras a macro for that to make typing it fasterI’m also too lazy to setup macros outside my editor 🙈
I feel like they’re a small minority of people who came here expecting it to be exactly like Reddit, but “better” without any clear understanding of what that actually means lol
The answer to damn near every question being “the complete tear down and rebuilding of society as we know it”
A way to stop this from being the case is the complete tear down and rebuilding of society as we know it
You’re not wrong, though
I hate going to work
Have you considered the same job, but socialism?
“ The same job, except I’m now paid the same at my part time barista job at Starbucks.” (I guess the /s wasn’t obvious enough)
Are you under the assumption that Socialism is when everyone is paid the same for different jobs? Lmao
What would a discussion about socialism be without someone who has no idea what they’re talking about about chiming in?
Fair, haha. It’s always funny to directly see the exact same incorrect talking points time and time again that have no basis in reality except via red scare propaganda, like you can trace it
Well, historically the humans do seem to like doing that a lot.
And yet we’ve very very rarely done it,actually.
Well over short time scales, thankfully not :)
Rebuilding society is a lot of work I frankly don’t need right now.
I have a 30 min slot open next week Tuesday. Can we schedule rebuilding society there?
I envy your flexible schedule and your optimism!
Linux
Did you intend to say GNU/Linux?
Or as I call it, GNU+Linux
I like to call it GNU^Linux
Because Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
People complaining about privacy of everything, including lemmy itself (this is a good thing).
Putting “rule” in the title for reasons I don’t understand.
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 was actually stolen from Reddit lol
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
At this point it’s almost a rule in itself that the title has rule in it in some way so there are many plays on the word but that’s not official it’s more of a community driven joke. It also came from the original 196 community on reddit.
The lack of NSFW content
Finally some makeup content
