Any system built on anonymous accounts is going to have the exact same problems. Lemmy is not “less bad” than Reddit because it’s decentralized. Blue checks isn’t the problem with twitter, and neither is Elong

The average person is not deeply aware of this stuff. All y’all don’t have any fucking clue what the average American is like.

Most people are just trying to get through the day. They want to pay their bills and make sure the kids are fed and Sally needs to get to dance class and Bobby has been having problems at school and now the boss wants to get that foundation poured tomorrow so you’re gonna have to stay late, but your wife can’t leave work early to pick up the kids so now you have to deal with that and oh, eggs cost double what they did a year ago and you haven’t gotten a real raise since 2021.

They don’t have time to spend on Lemmy, figure out how to use Linux, learn what a tariff is, or debate the difference between gender and sex, or read about what the Heritage Foudnation does. I do, but I’m not most people and the more y’all keep acting like those people aren’t like you people the more problems you’re gonna keep making for yourself.

Grow the fuck up

A) No executives anywhere are taking personal accountability for anything

B) I upgraded from the 12 to the 16 for Apple Intelligence and I have yet to see it offer value. A substantial portion of hey Siri voice requests return with “I’m sorry I didn’t get that” even when using the voice transcription feature gets the words right

I’ve added limes to the grocery list

Quality content? You mean the exact same stuff that’s on Reddit, often copied directly from Reddit?

800,000 “Trump bad! Look at this latest bad thing Elong did!” posts a day is not quality content

Most hiring managers are looking for unicorns

Me, thinking about the days of dial up: 😭

Have you tried just using Lemmy instead?

I suggest getting a dog and giving up on dating

Disagree. Calling leftists Nazis for not voting for Harris is basically the same thing as Stalingrad

Dynamic programming. I should have just chased a check rather than trying to save the world

SME (pronounced smee)

My company is flooded with SMEs who aren’t even good, let alone experts at anything

Sure, but 80% of people stopped reading after that first word because of “socialism”

Who is Steve Jobs?

Pretty easily: that’s the whole point of the concept of “reputation”

I sure hope so. Pretty hard to sell cars if you don’t even know where they are

You use Comcast because you have 0 other choices

I use Comcast because I have 1 choice

We are not the same

1. Don’t be a dick
2. Don’t be a pussy
3. Don’t be an asshole

I use Comcast because I have one choice and it’s Comcast
