Yeah it should be legalized.

What people do with their bodies is their own choice.

tight.

Everyone should switch instances, but not because of this stuff. LW is just too large right now. The fediverse wasn’t designed to have so many people in one place. Communities were supposed to spread out and build their own specialized instances. This attempt to recreate reddit on one instance never should have happened.

Yeah that was not a great look, and a large part of why I run my own instance. The professionalism of a sites admins has a large affect on the community as a whole. You want people at the top that don’t have massive egos.

I don’t mind people voicing their complaints… it’s just the making a mountain out of very mole hill that I have a problem with.

Lemmy ultimately can’t serve as a reddit replacement, but not because of the people. It’s the technology that won’t scale. If we took all the slapfighting that reddit had to offer, every instance would crumble trying to replicate a million snide and argumentative comments.

people confuse defederation and community blocking (in this case, it’s the latter)

This seems to be a big one. LW admins were actually fairly light-handed on this one. This isn’t a discussion of defederation but people are acting like it is one.

dbzer0 hasn’t been defederated. Only the communities inside dbzer0 that actively engage in piracy support have been blocked.

There isn’t an easy statement that explains why things are getting worse.

The housing market, for instance, was being affected by low interest rates. Low rates make being a slum lord more profitable than other forms of investment. This caused a massive amount of investment in the housing market by rich people and corporations, and normal people were priced out.

The banks that failed did so because they either invested in dumb things (crypto) or in long-term bonds. Those bonds lose value as interest rates rise, and SVB invested far too much into them.

There’s all kinds of reasons

I don’t mind memes but holy shit most of them are so bad and the volume is just too much.

This makes me sad because politics are very important, but the media has turned it into such garbage that people have become indifferent.

Passing aggressively on a 2 lane road: ok, yes I agree

Driving slow on a 4 lane highway: real dangerous

If someone isn’t going to go at least the speed limit on a highway, they should use back roads instead.

Unfortunately, a majority of the population like the ad based free service model, so here we are.

True. The only personalized ads I ever receive are for products I literally just purchased.

I don’t know how there’s so much money in the ad space. It just seems like a huge waste.

The bug with Rattlers is that sometimes the cluster munitions inside the missile don’t get restocked. That’s most likely why you see this happening.

I remember when Rattlers worked well 😃 and everyone was spamming them, but that was many years ago. Missiles in general started working better again in 3.18, but they’re still pretty hit-or-miss. And NPCs will target and shoot them now! so Rattlers might be the way to go (too many projectiles for them to get them all).

Because I’m tired of seeing ads for things I literally just purchased.

I’m real tired of hearing about Lemmy and Reddit. I just want the other content that I used to consume here. I’m getting pretty tired of hearing how bad Reddit is doing.

Yeah, right-wingers flock to “safe-spaces” as much as the far-left does. Lemmy doesn’t have the tools to make a single community isolated like they could on Reddit, so they have to go to their own instances and end up defederated.

The main differences between left-wing and right-wing communities is that the right-wing ones quickly deteriorate towards a lot of hate related things. This leads them to being isolated from the rest. The left wingers are mostly tolerable and are just over zealous in preaching things like forcing everyone to use pronouns, lmao.

I do the same.
