Honestly all it took for me was "reddit with no ads" and I was on faster than you can say Lenin

The og commented advocated killing children. We don't keep that up here. The real cowards are the folks than post comments like that to sound edgy online

Cmon man, let's go. Let's start the revolution. I wanna see you on the street tomorrow. Bring your guns. Cmon, let's go! I'll be there with you. You're so brave. Let me find you at the front line first thing am.

No?

Shut the fuck up

Not to get all Jordan Peterson on you but who is "we"? What "political goals"? I have no idea what you're saying

There is nothing inherently wrong with discussing the trolley problem. It comes up on a daily basis. So what?

When there is a direct call to action on an online forum to unalive someone by any means necessary even if it means killing innocent children then you better be ready to walk the talk or shut the fuck up. If you are so thirsty for the revolution, ill meet you at the front line but I want to see you there on day one. Otherwise, it's just online meme edgelord shit for karma upvotes and nothing more. We both know these individuals that are so brave with their calls to actions would rather open netflix and watch the next ep of bridgerton after their bout of online memes. So brave.

In a lecture hall of a philosophy class? Sure. It's the trolley problem. Big deal?

On an online forum call to action it's just an edgelord trying to meme their way into a conversation because they have nothing else to contribute.

I don't know who you're talking about here because we've been plenty critical of Biden's genocide support. Did you wake up yesterday?

 

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”.

 

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.

 

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.

What exactly is a bookwyrm instance and how does it differ from a Lemmy instance?

I use blender + some addons for work (I work as a landscape architect).

 

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?
