Nah, the number one reason to vote lately is to prevent Trump from pissing all over democracy. Even Republicans are joining in.

The first one is definitely a xenomorph

Cool story. What are ads?

Idiocy is not exclusive to Reddit. Different Lemmy servers were born based solely on stupidity.

There are too many dimwits who think Lemmy was made so that they can build their echo chambers. So, there is no discourse, just stupid people encouraging stupid people. Anyone that comments otherwise is immediately removed.

Most mods are dumdums. Most are obviously politically and ideologically motivated. It's their job to prune anything they disagree with, which means they can't help themselves and ban everyone. Most of the time it's a complete waste of time to comment in smaller subs. The dumdums have taken hold either by making the subs and controlling them, or by volunteering as mods with no oversight.

As much as Reddit sux because of the company's policies or mod problems etc., Lemmy is equally as bad.

Shadow banning is rampant on both platforms for instance. The biggest problem is that the people in charge of subs, or the instances, are incapable of governing -maybe not the best word- and don't understand words. It's a complete shit show everywhere.

Where have all the edgy and factual comments gone? Victims to mod bias and their political leanings. In some instances, they don't understand what they are reading, or don't like it, and ban everyone and remove posts like they are getting paid for bigger numbers.

Wasn't Lemmy supposed to solve this problem?

For a username like Veritas you really do a lot to avoid the truth. Anyway...

I see a lot of clueless interpretations of openSUSE in this thread. Like any other distro, you have to learn how it works. Most people here don't want to bother and keep arguing that it doesn't work like Arch, etc. Well, it's not Arch... duh.

Of course, by now, you've realized that the defaults are good and it's very stable. Unlike other rolling distros, it rarely breaks from an update because every release is automatically tested. BUT, issues do arise with the repo NVIDIA drivers, which don't always get built fast enough to work with newer kernels as they are released. It's not a big deal because you only need to wait ~1 week, but surprisingly, the maintainers don't preemptively address it. Also, codecs can be problematic because, like the NVIDIA repo, they lag behind and take time to catch up to the OSS repo. Annoying, to be sure, but if you are using flatpaks, it doesn't matter.

And this is probably a shocker to most people here, but you don't have to install Yast. I don't use it at all. The catch is that you must learn something new and how to hold back certain packages.

Politico really working those baseless out of touch old guy undertones

A new bot has emerged

All the hard work you put into spreading nonsense is wasted in Lemmy. There aren't enough users to make it worthwhile. Then again, you'd be banned quickly somewhere like Reddit, so I guess it's your only choice.
