I swear that with each update they're adding more and more artificial stupidity
That's Magic Earth Navigation & Maps and the results are that app's fault.
You can tell from both the app icon and it's the exact same Burger King logo it uses (Google Maps uses a different one).
OP blames Google for the crap the user installs. Lemmy attitude is always a good shield for large companies because it makes any complaint seem absurd by association.
It's sad that I was hoping for Lemmy to be a place to have a better vetting of comments by votes but its frankly worse than Reddit.
Its hive mind is sadly becoming less diverse and just up votes "LOL THIS THING BAD" with no sourcing or anything.
I've found myself sadly going back to Reddit more because the comments are just of higher quality and diversity of opinions.
Yeah it's a very very one-sided community, especially in regards to companies and governments and so on. And it's not like there's not a lot to complain about, but people here freely apply the same broad strokes they complain about on reddit et al. And that in turn shields problematic stuff from criticism because all criticism is so absurd and overdone.
There's just little nuance in online discussions in general, and less so here. Partially of course becuase of how small Lemmy is.
Completely agreed; your remarks resonate with me. I have found that the "hive-mind mentality" is prevalent on Lemmy, in particular in this community and to the extent that discourse is actively shut down with inane comments that just mope and complain on top with in-depth or factual corrections downvoted.
I personally find this exceedingly frustrating. On Reddit, most context and constructive debate was found in top comments. However, here on Lemmy, it's more at a high school TikTok level, with top comments typically all very similar; mostly "some company is evil incarnate" or "I proudly pirate copyrighted material and here are the ways I've justified this for myself."
None of this contributes to an informative comment section and it grinds my gears. I just wish this community would be better.
