  • So I have a vague understanding of this.

    I tried going to another server when I read something about a lemmy instance turning down FB. I go there and I'm prompted to make yet another account to use that instance.

    Does this mean, that I need to make a new log-in per instance, per server just to use it? If so, that's entirely exhausting for me to keep track and I already have an abundance of accounts as is, to where I had to make a document that records every account with every password. We need an internet where it's less of that.

  • If Lemmy is going to come up with their own version of Reddit's AMA, what are you going to call it?

  • It's so much easier to comment on Lemmy because it isn't a toxic cesspool waiting to tear you apart

    Jump

  • I agree, for the most part. But I already have noted a couple instances of the kind of behavior I expected to see on Reddit.

    There's always, always going to be an insufferable group of people who spends their aimless lives just shitting all over everything.

  • How safe is Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Your safety depends on how curious you are and how far it leads you. You can be considered safe, by being in one solitary place at all times and doing next to nothing. You always risk your safety when you go exploring. There is not a single platform that perfects safety among it's community, with the exception of implementing tools and features that'd at least provide security so that exposure and exploitation is kept at a strict minimum.

    The sad reality is, is that, I wouldn't put it past Lemmy for it to contain at least a handful of these bored shitposting edgelords with too much time on their hands. Then again, is it really Lemmy's fault? You're going to come across a band of these people on all walks of the internet, it's just a matter of what volume of them that there is and whether or not it can be regulated and enforced by the community on whether or not they're welcomed.

  • What are some Redditisms that Lemmy needs to avoid?

    Jump

  • I've gotten pegged by people when I reposted something I knew very well, hadn't been posted within a year's timeframe. Like, what's the problem with that? It hasn't been seen in so long so yeah it'll be reposted.

    Unlike with your second scenario, I've seen posts crop up within the same day and they're all gratified and praised like as if people hadn't seen them before when their short attention spans fail to tell them that they did see it before very recently.

  • That's the fate of, ironically, a subreddit called UNPOPULARopinions.

    "Beyonce is overrated!" - just throw them the lifetime achievement award for "unpopular". /s

  • What's a band that you like that was gone way too soon?

    Jump

  • Device.

    This was a group that consisted of David Draiman from Disturbed and Geno Lenardo who is a former guitarist from Filter. Only one album was released in the entire discography and the project lasted 2 years. It was a nice breakaway to hear David branch out from Disturbed to see what else he can do and I wished more albums was released. It could've been an industrial supergroup.

  • Jesus, yes. I can't tell you how many subreddits got swamped with high-school leveled questions about sex.

    Especially in TooAfraidToAsk, which is supposed to be about questions that'd normally be about trying to ask taboo things to get a discussion. But no, you'll come across questions like "if there is no porn to look at, what do you look at instead while jerking off in the shower?". Like, besides trolls, who the hell comes up with some questions like that? Let's not forget the abundance of people, showcasing the lack of sexual education, asking if they'd get HPV by doing this or HIV by doing that.

  • Pretty sad that this bitch is getting paid to crack things. I don't know what's stopping a band of people to just hack her shit up and take what's been helping to crack denuvo so it isn't bottlenecked by unchecked individuals such as she.

  • They don't belong on car headlights either. Because, every time, they're going to be abused by drivers at night. They're even unhelpful to see road signs, too. Because when the light is focused on them, I noticed I have such a hard time reading the white text on the reflective green background. It's obnoxious and such an eyesore.

  • Will we look back at today's "go green" initiatives as stupid and inadequate?

    Jump

  • I've learned that we're doing an even poor job of handling recyclables, the very thing we're beaten over the head with to be responsible about.

  • Is the internet healing?

    Jump

  • Unlikely. Zuck can make another Facebook and millions will still flock to it thinking they've 'escaped' Facebook.

    Spez can make a Reddit 'successor' and millions will still flock to it thinking they've 'escaped' Reddit.

    The point is, we need to dethrone the root of the problem.
