I guess some of that has come over here based on your comment scores, but at least your comments aren’t being removed 🤷♀️ I haven’t been downvoting anything here based on disagreement cause a) I think discouraging people from sharing their opinions here will kill the site, even if you don’t like their opinions and b) I think it’s wrong anyway.
So glad someone else made the connection. This movie FUCKED me up for real
Allow bigotry to fester in the thread for extended periods of time
I know this will be a controversial opinion but I just don’t see this being a big deal. Those comments inevitably get downvoted and kicked to the bottom of the list, and if you expand a comment that’s -10 karma you probably know what you’re getting into. I created and modded a sub that now has over 2mil subs and never once have I locked a thread (granted, it’s one that’s non political but we got our fair share of weirdly bigoted comments)
I say this with the best of intentions so bear with me, but I think most of the disdain towards moderators on Reddit came from locking threads due to “excessive trolling” or “y’all can’t behave” etc. It was so visible and immediately shut down conversation which was frustrating for average users. In my opinion excessive trolling isn’t a reason to shut a thread. The only things that would really need to be shut down would be things that are straight up illegal. Obviously people saying offensive things or trolling is an issue but, again in my opinion, that’s what the whole upvote downvote system is for, and moderators can step in for things that are blatantly out of line.
And I have 8gb in my work laptop. C’est la vie
Fair enough, just stating how it works at my org
We’re in the surface ecosystem where I work and the performance is abysmal. Granted we’re at 8gb ram on our standard models so not much to go off but it’s a super heavy application for what it’s doing
Completely agree. Back in the day I used to just scroll through /r/all and constantly stumble across cool stuff, now it’s devoid of any decent content. Whenever I read any of those millions of aita posts they’d always be clear fiction, and then full of comments as if they were absolutely true. The general quality of content on that site is at absolute rock bottom.
I am glad Lemmy has a small barrier to entry. It’s easy enough that you don’t need any sort of technical knowledge to sign up and use but it requires a little more effort than most social media, which hopefully acts as something of a filter. Reddit now kind of reminds me of usenets “eternal September”.
From discussion I’ve heard by my gen z friends I’m pretty sure apple could sell almost anything and people will buy it and claim it’s the best thing ever. Airpods are treated as jewelery at this point. I will say their phones are decent products but they’re way too locked down for me to ever own one. Great for my parents etc who want something simple
Wait it’s a panel? I thought it was some weird seethrough glass but I guess I didn’t think very hard about how that would work.
REAL HOOD PIECES
Part of me, and I think everyone else here, wants some level of vindication in the form of Reddit taking a hit. Likely most of the current users won’t notice any big changes and most of it will be back to the content they’re used to in a few months. But as someone else here pointed out it’s likely Reddit will survive as Facebook has, shitty recycled content from other platforms and zero decent discussion. Which again, 90% of their current user base won’t notice or care about. I’m just glad we’ve got a new place where the discussion seems to be a bit more on par with old Reddit
I knew it was over when my feed was plastered with various subreddits for food delivery workers
More than effort, I think the issue is that you have to be willing to make pretty big compromises in your tools and workflow, which is incompatible with a lot of creative persuits. I’m no Linux doubter/hater but even after conceding my DAW and half my plugins it still wasn’t up to scratch. Maybe one day!
F’s out for me and any other music producers. It’s like trying to game on Linux 15 years ago. You can do it in theory but when it’s your job it just isn’t there yet and I can’t imagine it ever will be
I agree entirely. Just because I might not agree with someone on their politics doesn’t mean we can’t have a civil discussion, especially regarding apolitical topics
