It’s not about the warmth or comfort, it’s about the weight on your body.

They only show their true colors when the feel that it is safe for them to do so. So this says more about Twitch and our current society than about this asshole.

Nah, that’s just going back to my original point. Why I commented in this thread at all. Some people were acting like Lemmy was dead cause .ml devs were douche bags.

My point is that .ml is becoming less and less relevant to Lemmy as a whole as time goes on and as more users join the fediverse. New instances are always good but running down perfectly good ones like Lemmy.world is very regressive and that kind of behavior is what I left reddit to get away from.

Not all instances of Lemmy are run by tankies. Many are run by just Linux enthusiasts.

I think you have misunderstood something. I do not agree with .ml people(tankies and such). And the issue is whether or not a person can just ignore their rantings and simply enjoy Lemmy.world

Good thing polygraphs are junk science that doesn’t work literally at all.

But the Chinese government could be spying on you if you bought a Chinese manufactured car!!

P.S. for bonus points, does anyone know where most GM automobiles are currently being manufactured?

We need to tax these fuckers till they bleed.

You should leave. It’s not going to get any better and they will just use your income to pay for their shenanigans.

The guy you’re replying to needs to show some evidence, but do you have more than a paragraph of your thoughts to back up any of your claims?

13% undecided? I’m not holding my breath. The fascists and the faithless Democrats are gonna do whatever it takes to tank him.

NYC get out and knock on some doors!!!

I’m quite aware of enshittifacation. And, though the word is new, the concept is not. It was most recently called “planned obsolescence” and I think older folks just called it “trashy new stuff” or something folksy like that. But that’s harder to apply to the amorphous entity that is the Internet and the economy that’s been built around it. Don’t fall for the doomsday cult of “it’s all just going to shit anyway so let’s only care about ourselves”. That’s how we got Baptists, Seventh Day Adventists, and Mormons (among so many others).

Easy to say from behind a computer screen.

Oh sure. Give the ICE agents a reason to “fear for their lives” so they can justify shooting civilian protesters. It’s not there was a bill passed recently the gave ICE unprecedented power to do as they please.

Once you surrender that particular high ground, there’s no going back. It either revolution of capitulation. So here’s the question. Are you ready to arm yourself and face the United States military once Trump decides to use protester violence to declare Martial Law?

My father tried to tell me what a “genius” he is. I told my father point blank, Jordan Peterson is only a genius to morons. He even gave me one of Peterson’s self help books, I immediately tossed it in the trash. Though, in retrospect, I probably should have tried to return it to Amazon and used the money to buy something more worthy of reading, like Chick Tracts. 😂 At least they’re entertaining.

Well the hatred for the ads I get. Not just cuz people don’t want to deal with ads in their content. But YouTube’s algorithm or whatever it is that decides what ad you get to see too often targets the wrong people for the wrong things. Or you get a 2 to 4 minute unskipable ad for a 10 minute video. It can be frustrating.

There must be something messed up with your Google search cause googling Lemmy gets me Motorhead first and then either lemmy.org or lemmy.world plus some wikipedia explainers, I don’t even see a link to lemmy.ml even after 2 pages of results.

I have not found it hard at all to just ignore the .ml devs and people in general. Why is this such an issue for literally anyone?

Meh, I decided to just pop for Premium. I realized that of the online streaming services, YouTube is the one I use the most. And Premium gives me access to YTMusic as well as GMM which was paywalled back when Premium started. And all for the same basic price as Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu which I barely use and therefore dropped.
