    I got a warning for upvoting too much violent content. I know it’s bullshit. I contributed regarding economics but nothing violent.

        I can’t wait for digg to finally come out, I hope it becomes basically a better, private, version of reddit, but you know, good. Lemmy is good too for now but I’m not exactly a huge fan of the UI, and not enough people are moving over yet. Again, probably cuz the UI is a little hard to figure out the first time.

        digg could not be coming back at a better time. I honestly hope that it’s basically just reddit but with a better UI and not as many shitty rules. Going public ruined that fucking website and I always knew it the moment they started charging an obscene amount of money to use their API

          The irony is that reddit ripped off digg’s original UI nearly 95% identically. I hope they keep a similar format because the Digg redesign sucked and everyone hopped over to reddit, then reddit made that god-awful new UI that I can’t even bother to use at all (you can opt out of the ‘new design’ in your user preferences/settings) but at this point, reddit is practically useless anymore. They’ll probably be censoring any links to digg once it comes back up as people tell other users that there’s a reddit alternative.

    I spent an hour last night interacting with and outing ruzzian trolls on Reddit. There was no doubt these were ruzzians, because after a couple of tit-for-tat comments, they use terms like “we” when talking about ruzzias invasion of Ukraine. They all knew what Yandex was without asking or querying it, as a non ruzzian would. In some comments I explained why ruzzia is a third world shithole country, because I’ve been there. I told a couple to go dig babushka a fresh latrine pit, and a couple others how good they’d look fertilizing sunflowers in Kursk Woke up today, and I’ve been permanently banned “for inciting violence”. Reddit is a hive full of ruzzian trolls and bots, and the moderators appear to support them. I don’t think I’ll bother creating another account lol.

        You’re probably right, but I felt that by exposing them maybe some other more gullible people wouldn’t absorb their views. Too many people can’t think very well for themselves and just regurgitate what they’ve heard, so calling out liars has some value. I hope.

    • I went out with a bang. Coincidentally, implying that such things should happen to the Muskrat and pedophile dictator too.

      The latter getting a golden pager from Netty the Butcher was my highlight snark. And telling off the idiots at LSC was a good bit of satisfaction for myself.

      I miss being able to interact with certain smaller subreddits for particular interests, but that’s about it.

    Today i saw a deleted comment in a post titled “trump says he will label violence on tesla dealerships as domestic terrorism” and someone quoted it to express their shock that the comment was deleted. It was “elon and the orange dictator need to be removed from the board” and on top of that people are getting moderated messages warning them that they are liking content related to Luigi mangione. And they are even deleting people’s comments that mention the name luigi mangione.

    We are in a full fledged fascist authoritarian police state. The only way to remedy it is a revolution. The system is under complete corporate control and has shown that it will not allow self remediation through its own mechanisms. Like the Princeton study proved the amount of influence one has upon legislated policy is directly correlated with the amount of wealth you have with regular working class people having a statistically irrelevant near zero impact on policy regardless how popular or unpopular the policy may be. This is the reality. There is no way forward that isn’t uncomfortable. And those who believe they are too comfortable to risk what they have need to really examine their reality and see if it truly is comfortable or just a meaningless existence of repetitive wage slavery with basically no autonomy or meaning within such an existence. And at the rate the working class habe lost what little we had that was worth working for in the last 5/6 decades how much more will be lost in the future decades and at that point how can you even believe your children will have any semblance of a life worth working and living for? Something needs to be done now before it is too late which it unfortunately may already be. The internet which was supposed to revolutionize human connection and the spread of ideas and information has been weaponized against us to the benefit of the ruling class and something needs to be done to counteract this. The fact that it was easier for people to mobilize and effect change before the magic glowing screens disseminating propaganda becoming so widely available says all we need to know. There is still hope but thst possibility is dwindling faster by the day. But those saying that the answer is to get out and vote and advocating for ballot box socialism/ ballot box progress are deuded and misinformed.

      To be fair I would say a mass-orchestrated event of committing arson and destruction of private property across the nation should be classified as domestic terrorism… if you remove politics from the equation, it’s still terrorism.

        This is authoritarian fascism. fascism is the intersection/integration of government and corporate power and now the government is overtly run by corporatists and being used to protect their capital? People aren’t destroying government institutions here they are destroying a billionaires piece of shit ev that has dozens of issues and that his publicly traded corporation cant give away so they have lowered the price so many times to try and coax dumb rich people to buy this $100,000 paperweight. If musk was so concerned about the public lashing back out against his reprehensible ideology then he should have thought a minute before doing a blatant fascist salute not once but twice at a live televised presidential inauguration. Maybe we can remove politics from it when the guy in charge of this dumpster fire of a corporation removes himself from politics(or the demographic of people actively performing cellular respiration). The sooner the better.

Maybe if they can afford one of these dumpster fires on wheels they should break their contract and sell it or just put it in storage until the contract expires and drive a hybrid or even an electric Lexus like someone with a functioning cerebral cortex.

    What put me off Reddit was my perception that most of the very active users are toxic. Some of the users seem to enjoy bashing everything and anything that they slightly disagreed with and it has reached it’s tipping point for me. It seems to me that they are exceptionally lacking in personal development and critical thinking and it ruins what makes the platform great. I’m hoping this platform doesn’t end up like Reddit.

      I absolutely agree that honestly most people on reddit are toxic, but I would extend that to twitter/x as well. What I think part of the problem is that they’re probably normalish people in real life, and let out some of their frustrations from real life they turn into literal trolls (not just the internet slang). I don’t know what to do with that information other than interactions on reddit and x are a lot less meaningful than one would assume since it’s all mainly fabricated ragebait

      Lemmy is seeing a sustained order of magnitude jump in sign-ups over the last two weeks. People complain that it is too difficult to understand (although there are now good guides pinned on r/lemmy) until they realise it is time to actual do something and it all goes (relatively) smoothly after that.

        Better slow than too fast too. Lemmy feels like a nice fairly small community. I’m not sure that’ll continue once it’s the size of Reddit. We’ll get more content and niche communities will be better served though, so there’s pros and cons.

        I’ve switched to main linux last week, for now with a windows dualboot for games that have issues. Honestly a good option if you just don’t like windows or where it’s heading. Depending on what you play going 100% linux isn’t viable though (but also if you’re not playing any multiplayer games it is).

        Rebooting is so fast these days that switching OS isn’t a big problem, and I’m surprised just how well proton is working. I’ve somehow had more problems with the EA launcher trying to play nfs unbound on windows than on linux (it just worked with no issues, on windows it wouldn’t launch if I don’t close the ea launcher first).
