“Hey Lemmy, I need a new refrigerator. Are there any good FOSS (preferably federated) options available?”
That and Star Trek memes.
Lmao. That’s a good thing!!!
4 copies of every news story.
Linux and the whole FOSS everything thing.
Except when it comes to entertainment. Then it’s “Don’t touch my Plex”
Decide: FOSS everywhere or where applicable and don’t force your vision onto other users.
Really? I generally see people responding to Plex stuff by recommending jellyfin.
Everyone complains about cars, and rightfully so.
Every day complaints about capitalism
You are saying this is a good thing right?
Does it make a difference to do it here though?
Define difference. For me personally it’s pretty cool to finally have some sort of community that seems like minded on at least the surface level instead of just constantly being stared at as if I were a fish who just questioned the usefulness of water.
Will it spontaneously make come about utopia? Probably not but if that’s your lower bar for doing anything I’m pretty sure you are gonna have a bad time.
That’s just what happens when you don’t have nazi mods/admins constantly suppressing everything left of hitler.
They just suppress everything right of Karl Marx here.
Which is good. All Karl said is “Don’t exploit people” and “see politics like a science” all very reasonable stances.
Yeah, he was also a huge antisemite, so……

It’s the main reason why I don’t get along with fundamentalists. Marx was a very flawed person and had a lot of garbage views.

DW i’m not talking about the economics, he was right about that. I’m referring to the stuff he want back on later in life upon finding out more. Scientific socialism is all about growing and learning from your mistakes and even though Marx was initially wrong about a lot of stuff, his ideology steered him right back on the correct path; proving that even a flawed person can become a force of overwhelming good through following socialism. Social fascists (liberals) will point to all the bad things a socialist has said/done not realizing that shit gets better with time, while their people start bad and get worse over the period of their life because their ideology is one of exploitation and evil.
Just block the communities, or even the two most notorious instances as a whole. The user experience gets 100x better.
While also being really bad at socialism
To be fair, that was a lot of my Reddit, too. Antiwork and work reform were constantly on the front page lol.
The repost bots syncing vapid content from Reddit.
“Lemmy isn’t Reddit” but here are hundreds of communities that have no engagement outside of a bot mirroring Reddit content.
“communities”
kind of a stretch to call those communities, when it’s just a bot talking to itself.
I just blocked all of them when they started spamming my feed.
I’ve honestly yet to see or feel those. I however exclusively browse my subscriptions feed, so I guess I filtered most of them out by my community choices?
Some people are insane/brave enough to regularly view all/new. The bottom of the barrel must be broad and terrible.
Not enough content to not use all.
Seeing 10 different languages on 20 posts. For some reason I get a big mix of lots of different languages in my feed. Had to start blocking them because it was getting to much.
Shitting on reddit.
people being reasonable. I hadn’t realized the edges Reddit had given me until I snapped at a couple people on here and was definitely out of line
Linux
Constantly telling people to install Linux, completely disregarding any nuance.
Don’t forget your thigh high socks and furry butt plug after you install Linux.

The most Lemmy thing for me is that I see more wholesomeness here than on Reddit, I’m not sure if that is the answer you were looking for, but that has been my experience so far.
I agree and it’s a nice change of pace. I hope we can strive to keep it that way.
<3 comrade
People forgetting that it is not lemmy, but federation.
/posting from kbinIt feels more like a community.
Like it’s not quite what message boards used to be, where every user seem to have their own unique identity that everyone seems to be aware of… But it’s more so that then something like Reddit.
I’ve seen users call out other users saying things like You must be the guy that posted that thread the other day… Or something like that
