I also choose this guys wife.
Are they still as bad about assuming everyone's a white cis het man, too?
I forgot about these kinds of comments ace I really don't miss these kinds of comments.
This ๐
I do this a lot, but I atleast follow or with a paragraph of context.
Corporate control
Unsolicited bot comments.
One to correct a minor grammar mistake, a second to call the first pedantic, and a bunch of good bot/bad bot replies to both, and now half the comment section is noise.
They're rarely funny or interesting past the first time you encounter them, and their creators never willing to acknowledge that they've unleashed a pest.
Censorship and manipulation
Reddit is basically an American psyop machine. The censorship is alarmingly heavy. It bizarre and I'm surprised more people aren't talking about it because it's seems so extreme. It's like a government tool now.
I think that's too late now.
I've gotten banned and comments removed because I mentioned a site the moderators didn't like. So, censorship is alive and well on Lemmy. Also, never forget the time the Lemmy mods/admins threw a bitch fit over celebrating what Luigi had done.
Censorship is always going to exist to some extent, but Lemmy has the potential to balance it out because there is no central authority. So you could have censorship of different stuff on different servers, but if you take the network as a whole you would still get a diversity of information.
I remember everybody celebrating Luigi the whole time, I guess some mods and admins were wary of threats of violence being hosted on their servers but overall it's impossible to criticize Luigi on this platform without getting heavily downvoted, and celebrating him is free upvotes.
So I feel like you're being pretty overdramatic and also not really accurate with this comment.
Redditors- I mean AI, Ads, gold, archived posts, and probably more I don't want to remember
And my axe!
I'm already seeing posts and been seeing the posts.
But, stupid pot-stirring ones like questions being asked that's guaranteed to spark a stupid debate. There's a reason why some places put down politics as taboo - it'll get people arguing. There's a reason religion is a no-no - it gets people arguing.
Then you've got people asking stupid questions that are redundant. Like, yeah, age-gap ones, we've already settled that shit long ago, take it back to Reddit. Also, stop asking for support or whether you're the asshole or not. Take that shit back to Reddit.
That time they made the up/down-vote arrows slightly smaller in the mobile UI, without notice or changing anything else, so we all spent a solid week confused about why we were suddenly misclicking it on every post.
Thankfully, I don't think it could happen here since there's like a million different equally popular mobile clients, and they all release changelogs.
Remembering reddit exists at all. Why can't people stop obsessing over reddit and just enjoy the fediverse?
Search something innocent and the first post you see is porn.
Oh that happens on Lemmy, too lol
