Urban myth. How often are we gonna keep reposting this bullshit.
That is what it's all about?
There is literally nothing better about the clientele of this platform than reddit except people are nicer and probably less miserable on average in the comments. If anything its users are less socialized and more insular - e.g. I use linux server extensively for work where it controls most of the internet, but most of the hot takes here about linux here are beyond stupid. If anything, between Lemmy and reddit, the users here are even more convinced they're knowledgeable and infallible connoisseurs, if that's even possible. So when fallout does happen, it's generally more ugly.
Also, the bear thing is not controversial - except with infantile man-children. Those people don't get to represent a demographic.
Probably the userbase so far. Love the platform. The political stuff on here especially seems like it comes from people who've never been laid or been able to hold a serious conversation in public.
To me a smart device was supposed to be a normal device that you could control 'smartly' over wifi.
Mini SoCs with their own apps and an optional subscription built in for some proprietary shit? That goes past smart straight into dumpster trash.
It's almost like... endless growth is unsustainable.
Edit: Downvoted by a shareholder lol
Fitgirl presents as a woman therefore she is a girl. I don't walk by people on the street and wonder what's in their pants all day.
If any admins of lemmy.world are around, I created !westcoastedm@lemmy.dbzer0.com for the explicit reason of sharing copyright protected music. Can you ban it too? Wouldn't want to get you guys in trouble with mommy and daddy.
I mean, it would be an order of magnitude more work to grow all the food and build the (subpar in comparison) amenities I need to survive. But I guess then I would just be a slave to nature. You can't escape.
