People are more likely to comment when they disagree, since agreement just ends up sounding like “me too!”

But I find people on the fediverse are a lot nicer

Never realized that. Good point!

Wait a second here.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/rE3j_RHkqJc

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

I end up not commenting because I try to proofread and while doing it I notice I don't care enough about whatever or my comment doesn't really matter and just cancel de comment.

It's kinda like when you filter reviews and everything is either 5 stars or 1 stars. Most people will only comment if they feel strongly about something and unfortunately we live in an outrage culture, so the majority of interactions will be negative. Very rarely will someone put the effort to reply to something they feel ambivalent towards

Definitely.

On reddit I have observed my faith in the intentions of the person on the receiving end waning over the last years bc of that.

I have been surprised at the good faith people reacted to my comments with, I haven't yet gotten to the reddit poison fully out of my system.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

we're in a golden age before corporations, bots, and racist dumbasses come, we're not popular enough to attract people so the only ones here are foss enthusiasts and i know this is elitist but theres definitely a correlation between that and not being a weirdo jackass. once this gets more popular get ready for the shit hurdling and over moderation again. sorry to burst your bubble. i love this community

Nah this place is WAY more chill than reddit.

Mention Sync, just for fun

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sync is great!

  • Sent from my Sync app
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I concur. Sync has been amazing to use.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

How dare you?? 😡🤬😡🤬

[–] mrmhm 10 points 1 year ago

What the fuck did you just say about Sync for Lemmy, you little casual? I'll have you know it's not FOSS, and it has options for paying for a subscription!

I've been trained in open-source warfare and have over 300 confirmed commits on GitHub. You think your proprietary software can stand a chance against the might of the FOSS community? Think again, scrub.

While you were wasting time on paid subscriptions, we studied the art of collaboration and freedom. We know every line of code in the Linux kernel and can fork repositories with pinpoint accuracy. Your closed-source tactics won't work here.

You call it a "premium feature"? Ha! We see through your money-grubbing schemes. In the realm of open-source, the true premium is transparency and accessibility for all.

So, take your subscription nonsense and run back to your proprietary lair. The FOSS community will continue to thrive and grow, empowering users worldwide with the power of choice and knowledge.

Don't know, I had some good and productive discussion here.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, and don't get me wrong, the majority of users I have engaged with here have been lovely. But occasionally you'll get the post with hundreds of upvotes, with maybe one downvote, but the comment section makes it feel like they're trying to set the place on fire.

It probably has more to do with the fact that there are far less of us than redditors, and comments are weighted differently from reddit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

No you haven't

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (3 children)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only CIA asset that I know is YOU!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They DO seem obsessed with hating ML and ridiculing the idea anyone could be CIA

Hmm...

Truly feels like home seeing a bunch of people pointlessly arguing about something they'll both forget in an hour

I like to try to remember I don’t need to have an opinion about everything I stumble across.

Ope, there I go opining again.

[–] robocall 3 points 1 year ago

I may not have strong opinions but I make a lot of observations.

Bet this mouth-breathing shill didn't even post the meme from a FOSS app. Despicable.

I prefer the term lemmitard thanks

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been using 'lemmy users' but to save time i just use 'lusers'. Gets confusing with linux users but you already know if they use linux. I use arch btw.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!? I'M NOT SHOUTING, YOU'RE SHOUTING!!!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

YOU CALL THAT A SHOUTING?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is how the Internet has always been, and it shall be how the Internet continues on.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hey guys, would you like to hear about how the only good political system is the one where you seize power and suppress all dissent with ruthless violence? If you disagree with any of this you are obviously a CIA shill.

Lemmings when posting a post:

[–] JackLSauce 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why didn't you post this to c/BikiniBottomTwitter?

You're letting u/spez win!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The proper thing to do to keep spez from winning is properly link to this community. In the format [email protected]

This way we know which server the community is on

Oh my fuck, you didn't just go out and assume I'm a snap case in the replies because you know fucking what..... maybe? I dunno. Just got here.

Seems chill though.
