Don’t Look Up director says ‘half a billion people’ have now seen film despite critics in c/[email protected]
[–] TheFonz 5 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

What is up with that??? Lately I find myself aligning a lot more with audience scores. Movies that critics are rating high leave no impression on me anymore and I'm an obsessed movie watcher.

It's a typical IRA but catered to self employed individuals

A writing credit doesn't mean much. She could have added two phrases here or there.

You know there's more than just the presidency... Right? Right? Building locally gcssroots doesn't mean showing up for the presidential cycle every four years. You understand this, right?

No the media did not "ice her out". Green party has hardly any seats ANYWHERE in the country. Because they are not here to do the work of building.

For a group that considers .world to be Reddit 2.0 and a "CIA propaganda front" they seem to get awfully mad whenever it comes up in c/lemmyshitpost

40 Monkeys on the loose in SC after escaping research facility (www.theguardian.com)
submitted 2 months ago by TheFonz to c/news

These monkeys went bananas: 40 monkeys escaped from a research facility in South Carolina, and local authorities on Wednesday warned residents to stay away.

“Residents are strongly advised to keep doors and windows secured to prevent these animals from entering homes,” the Yemassee police department said on Facebook this week. “If you spot any of the escaped animals, please contact 911 immediately and refrain from approaching them.”

The monkeys that absconded were from the Alpha Genesis research center, which bills itself as “primate research specialists”. Police said that they have set up traps around the area and are “utilizing thermal imaging cameras in an attempt to locate the animals”.

Why is there a user base here that is so angry all the time? Genuine question. (self.asklemmy)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by TheFonz to c/asklemmy

My experience on this platform has been mixed so far but one thing I've noticed the most is a significant contingent of the user base is really reactionary in their discourse.

This is a very typical exchange I have here :

User: I don't like this color because it's red.

Me: I don't know, looks more like purple to me. What about red is bad?

User: Why don't you fuck yourself in the face you fucking cuntfuck!

Me: OK...

Like, what gives? I don't have this experience on other platforms. I have arguments but never this shutdown meccanism.

Has community engagement dropped off suddenly? (self.asklemmy)

I don't know if others are experiencing a similar situation. My all feed is very sparse with engagement. If I sort top six hours or by top 12 most posts have between 5-10 comments. I feel like there was more in the past? Is engagement dropping off? I'm on lemmy.world as my instance.

Is anyone else getting downvotes for benign disagreements here? (self.asklemmy)
 

At least on Reddit there was some leveling of downvotes built into the algorithm. This site is making it seem like any slight disagreement leads to downvotes thus encouraging more echo chambers. Maybe it's the communities I'm commenting on?
