Reddit@lemmy.world•POV: you spent 30 minutes to write a well-worded, well-structured post (it only took the AI mod a millisecond to remove it)English
1·3 days agoYeah I mean, lets not get too ahead of ourselves and prop Lemmy up as this utopia to escape Reddit to.
Lemmy has had enough time passed to where, majority of the shitlords that have been banned a lot from Reddit or just simply decided to shit up elsewhere than Reddit, came here.
Yes the platform abuse and manipulation is just as alive and well too. It’s just not as rampant.

2·3 days agoI actually get more frustrated that I’ve taken time to write out a post, that isn’t looking to offend anybody, to make sure it’s coherent, to make sure it’s not placating to anything .etc
…Only for the stupid fucking mods to remove it because it didn’t meet their laundry list of rules. Reddit rules are so arbitrary that they don’t mean anything. They only mean anything if a dumbass moderator decides when they matter.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When you have inevitably been forgotten, what do you hope will be the last thing someone thinks of you?English
2·3 days agoI’ve no hope that someone will remember a thing of me. Because the only people that will remember things of me, are those I’ve met in my lifetime. And they too will be gone.
I don’t get this question.
No I don’t. You didn’t read a god damn fucking thing I’ve said, you just wanted to sound righteous you tone-deaf moron. See? YOU are what’s wrong. YOU are the one projecting this extremist kind of bullshit and putting it into practice. YOU!
I’m not. Because I find that the movement possesses extremist views and perspectives that I simply cannot follow.
I do support the rights for women to have abortions, their body their choice, to have more equality and other things and I don’t support misogyny. But I also do not condone the idea that men are all bad because a woman experienced just a couple of bad apples. I don’t think women should have advantageous edges over men, because again, the idea is about equality, not about getting a leg over someone based on gender.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is being apolitical and being Independents in politics the exact same thing?English
2·5 days agoNo.
Apolitical means you don’t care about politics or you don’t really hold enough interest to discuss it at any degree.
Independent in politics means, you’re going your own way about how you take in the issues and causes around you than the two parties.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Will an ISP get on to you for downloading porn? Or will it just be a generic DMCA strike?English
1·5 days agoPorn wouldn’t be any different. If they, the distributor of the content of said porn, thinks and knows you didn’t pay for it and downloaded it anyways. They could send a notice to your ISP who’ll then send you a notice to you about it to do something about it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Will an ISP get on to you for downloading porn? Or will it just be a generic DMCA strike?English
3·5 days agoI’m going to have to step in and correct you on something because I’ve followed the news of TorrentFreak for years and noted how the entertainment industry has focused their tactics.
From the 2000s through early 2010s, they went after everyone and I mean everyone. Everyone who both downloaded and distributed what they considered copyright infringement. They’ve targeted many people, including people who both were old and didn’t have internet but sued them anyways for thousands of dollars.
However at somepoint in the mid-2010s, they changed tactics. They know it’s a losing battle to go after so many downloaders because piracy was more adopted. So, they decided to go after distributors and those who stream what they see as illegal.
I’m pretty positive though that if they still wanted to, they’ll take down a downloader, if you make a blip on the radar. I don’t exactly know what it’ll take but it has to be significant enough to grab their attention. But for now, they’re after site owners, streamers, distributors and notorious individuals who house a lot of downloaded content.

Reddit@lemmy.world•People who still use both Reddit and Lemmy and are slowly leaving Reddit. How do you do it?English
2·6 days agoLemmy/Piefed is for when I want a more slower and easier processed experience.
Reddit is for when I want a more broadened approach because of how much is there.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What was the actual reason for the crusade against NSFW games?English
2·6 days agoBecause apparently, from looking at the comments, some people think there’s no limit to NSFW games. When, there is.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do so many older people talk to themselves in public?English
1·6 days agoI do it sometimes from experience, I speak some of my thoughts aloud. I guess it gives some semblance of sanity, I’m guessing. I feel odd for doing it but I do it anyways.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When driving, are you able to keep the car perfectly centered or slightly off to the side?English
1·6 days agoI tend to have ‘lazy lean’ when driving, where I have my vehicle slightly lean towards the boundaries of the lane itself. Though I do try to keep it fairly center.
Lindsay Lohan, when she was rocking the red hair and before her substance issues. Like, rawr!
And this too will also be freaking online-only. I don’t know why I got Diablo IV, but I have it and I haven’t touched it. Because I once revisited Diablo III to see if I can stoke interest in it, to find that I had connection issues, then remembered “Oh right, it’s also ONLINE-ONLY”.
I’m sick of this shit being online only.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Whats the most boring unpopular opinion?English
94·14 days agoThe pineapple on pizza thing is one of them. It can be done, I mean, just don’t make the pineapple chunks overpower the taste of the other flavors of the pizza itself or just add something like ham slices or whatever to make it more palatable.
Or you know, shut the fuck up about pineapple on pizza and don’t fucking bother. Such a stupid trivial thing that took off for absolutely no reason.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How can I best help prevent people from committing suicide?English
1·14 days agoThe sad harsh reality is that, there’s not much that could be done unless you’re to commit them to therapy or have a wellness check summoned on them.
Suicide hotlines are only as good if someone suicidal has the willpower to call them, unfortunately, that’s either here or there.
But if someone wants to really go, they’re going to go and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do people even mean by "If you don't use AI, you'll fall behind"?English
7·14 days agoIt’s from the same people who tell you to “GET IN EARLY” for whatever hot trend is about to take off, usually involving markets and trade.





I don’t think the next president is going to destroy it. They’re going to use it for whatever means and it’ll just go from there.
