I fail to see what part of my comment is optimistic? xD

Yeah, I know, thats why I’m finding lemmy not for me. This new rage bait every week is tiring and not adding anything to my life except stress, and once I started looking at who the moderaters were when Lemmy’d find a new thing to rave about, I found that often there was 1-3 actual moderators, which, fuck that. With reddit, the shit subs were the exception, here it feels like they ALL (FEEL being a key word here) have a tendency to dive face first into rage bait

Edit: Most of the reddit migration happened because Reddit fucked over their moderators, a lot of us were happy with well moderated discussions, and if we didnt care to have moderators, we could have just stayed with reddit after the moderators were pushed away

Ah yes, more bait articles rising to the top of Lemmy. The guy was arrested for grooming, he was sending these images to a minor. Outside of Digg, anyone have any suggestions for an alternative to Lemmy and Reddit? Lemmy’s moderation quality is shit, I think I’m starting to figure out where I lean on the success of my experimental stay with Lemmy

Edit: Oh god, I actually checked digg out after posting this and the site design makes it look like you’re actually scrolling through all of the ads at the bottom of a bulshit clickbait article

It does seem to be that way. Is the internet getting more extreme and reactionary? Or are we just noticing it more?

Man, I’m starting to get real tired of Lemmy’s extreme black and white way of talking about issues

Recently a LOT of my emails with hotmail have been getting blocked at the server level, they arent even reaching my junk mail, which makes troubleshooting why I’m not getting emails a nightmare, ESPECIALLY in this day and age if 2fA

The real answer here. Indie scene is BOOMING

*Bbabbbagesssss

You also have far less info on internet conversion on whether or not its being had in good faith, which is an extra hurdle on opinion change

I’ve honestly just hit a point in life where I’m dine giving megacorps money. I stopped piracy like a decade ago because I had the means to pay for shit, but since then companies have just started treating customers with more and more disrespect, and I’m perfectly knowledgeable on how to access most of their shit fir free and with less restrictions and hassle. So Im back to piracy not fir money reasons, but FUCK YOU reasons

I’m not on the internet or lemmy to make the world a better place, I’m on here to kill time/enjoy myself/learn some things. I dont have the mental space to deal extremists, and particularly extremists that have a world view thats incompatible with itself if taken at face value, and I certainly dont have anything valid that I can learn from tankies, and as such, my block list has gotten quite large, and my general mood has increased because of it

Make a stupid statement =3

I was trying to match OP’s and your IQ level

Ah yes, technicalities, the best of defenses

How is your take also not a conspiracy theory? You just pinned it on the little guy instead of a megacorp

Thats what I was hoping, but it was presented so deadpan that theres enough countries in the world that this could theoretically be true for some of them

Patreon and Merch ALSO allow a lot of youtubers to survive without having ro rely on Monetization from Youtube

Is there a hidden /s? I actually cant tell
