Well trying to get a sense of Hexbear from a post at the top of my feed has me convinced Lemmy isn’t for me. Just seeing how radicalized they are has me afraid of the communities that can be bred here. Sunaurus you’re great and if all instances could be run by people as open minded and well intentioned as you Lemmy would be an amazing place. Good luck!

Because, like I said, I’ve noticed totally irrational arguments in the last few days. No I don’t think ignoring facts and contradicting yourself is just a matter of differing opinion. It’s the extreme opinions mixed with inconsistent logic that screams astroturfing to me.

I appreciate your perspective on this. I think something weird is going on there in the past couple of days. I was pretty unaware of them until literally yesterday I found myself in the comment section with some of the most bafflingly insane opinions I’ve seen (imo anyway). I strongly suspect they’re being astroturfed hard by Russia right now. There’s no way to mark their community suspicious or something in our feeds? Lemmy needs more instance to instance controls than than just severing ties.

Imo I would give it a few days and then defederate if they continue to be problematic. It would be great if someone occasionally reviewed defederated instance because that’s going to fragment the fediverse so badly

Edit: also staying federated gives us the opportunity/responsibility to downvote and confront propaganda when we see it which I don’t see happening much

I wonder what portion of all go code written is

if err != nil {

return err

}

It’s gotta be at least 20%

If you think they’re equivalent you might actually believe you have that igloo

If you actually care and you want to push some good policies what would you do? Run independent and have no shot or make won’t moral compromises and run as a Democrat? Idk what I would do honestly. But the Republican platform is literally big business and authoritarian control. There’s no intention in not trying to keep corrupting the system when someone runs for that party.

You’re probably right

Democrats have to play the game, Republicans make the game corrupt

Are you able to delete all their spam too?

I’m pretty sure they began as bot filters. That’s what they became

I don’t entirely agree with you. It’s still very standard for wired mouse and keyboard to use USB A. USB A isn’t going anywhere for a while on desktops. I think you’re right about laptops though, it’s a much better experience

I’ve got a USB doc, a security key for work, and an audio interface. I also have a charger for my computer that plugs into USB C. It’s much nicer for laptops to save space but USB A is still better for my desktop since I’m not swapping things much and C would get knocked out more easily

It’s just the modus operandi of capitalism

You really might want to do the same. Someone donates to fight equal rights and you’re now trying to imply condeming them is just as bad as the alt right. You are unwell

Ah they’re built on etherium? Well at least they can’t take the useless things away. That makes a lot more sense than what I was thinking

They own your account right? So they have access to your crypto keys right? So what’s stopping them from taking the cringe coins away again? Do they want people to hold independent password that don’t go through Reddit or is sealed right with pinkie promises?

Also if it’s meant to replace Reddit gold they can absolutely remove evidence a post was rewarded or just delete the post entirely. This feels like the blue check mark phase of Steve Huffman trying to emulate Musk

Cut and run and blockchain? If only I could think of hundreds of coins and NFTs that did that then I’d think your onto something
