I do wish these appeared more on the front page though. Subscribing and curating my feed should be reserved for niche content IMO, not general communities like movies and art. Sadly the fediverse seems to lack real niche content too. Meanwhile TikTok (and similar sites) have an algorithm that feeds you interesting content you wouldn’t even think to look for. And both TikTok and RedNote have a large existing user base to provide all sorts of content.

Maybe people want a platform that’s more than just a constant Linux and capitalism-bad circlejerk sprinkled with some basic news and askreddit-type threads.

Aren’t liberals and leftists the same thing? Everyone seems to agree that capitalism is bad, the government should provide more social services, our democratic leaders suck (but we should vote for them anyway because republicans are worse), etc.

Honestly Lemmy seems more like a circlejerk than a divide, the only divide I see is how far we need to go to fix/destroy the system. I don’t think I’ve seen a single conservative voice, which is pretty surprising considering Trump apparently won the popular vote, and I’d expect I’d at least see someone from the other side.

Yes, a city in Wisconsin.

No, I’m living there now, and the city I’m in feels like a wannabe California (aka liberal, techy, high housing costs, etc)

To be fair, the pandemic feels like it was ages ago. It was so long ago that the economy recovered, crashed again, companies reversed WFH policies, and are now apparently not enforcing RTO (at least that’s what I heard from a friend of a friend who works at Google).

But not everywhere has moved on at the same rate. In Wisconsin it feels like a distant memory, but in California the buses still have signs saying “masks strongly recommended but not required”

I’ve got to choose this timeless meme: https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

They probably mean that they use pictures of Nintendo Luigi in memes about the shooting (in place of pictures of the human Luigi), not that people select Luigi as a character more often in a certain video game.

I thought FIFA was for soccer, and the NFL handled football

I feel like most accessories these days either use Bluetooth, or (for e.g. cars) have a phone-agnostic USB port so they can work with Android too. Plus cables aren’t that hard to replace. I feel like the days of the iPod speaker dock and the iDog with a proprietary cable stub are long gone.

I don’t know but that image looks sick

How much did that user pay to have so many verified check marks?
