Not caring a LOT about privacy makes you a non-lemmy normie

5. We don’t talk about Reddit here. Except when we do.
6. [De]federation is srs bizniz.
7. Seize the means ofproductioncomputation.
8. People from that instance over there are bad.Ay yo FUCK that instance tho fr
18: Don’t feed the tankies
19: if you didn’t like Star Trek before, go to Risa and count the lights till you doYour YouTube link should have been a Piped link but it’s okay.
You’re free to enjoy the lemmit.online content, but don’t interact with it or you will appear confused.
Don’t stress about upvotes/downvotes-- They’re even more made up here than usual.
Never pass up an opportunity to bitch about ads, Chrome, Reddit, capitalism, Arch users, streaming services, or your favorite Lemmy client.
Do not attempt the Picard Maneuver unless you’re sure you know what you’re doing.
- If you get kicked from an instance, upon joining a new instance, make your first post a furious comment on the admins/mods/hivemind of the instance that kicked you, completely forgetting we can all see the modlog.
FOSS but also no ads. And don’t harvest any data to sell either.
I genuinely don’t understand where revenue streams are meant to come from for any of this software with peoples expectations.
But honestly Lemmy is so pro piracy that it doesn’t really matter if you were to charge for your product
People being mad at youtube for trying to force people to pay for the insanely expensive service they are providing was/is strange to me, on a similar note.
For FOSS, it’s sort of given in the name though. If it’s not free, it wouldn’t be FOSS, and companies like Google and Facebook have permanently destroyed most people trust in ads not also being paired with data harvesting. Other than offering paid tech support, it’s difficult to find a non intrusive way to get money.
People want prefer a tiny icon in the description where the author(s) ask for donations, but don’t they dare pop up donations to ask for donations though!
The internet existed for a long time prior to monetization of it. People used to do things because they were good ideas, fun, or helpful.
Revenue streams made things worse.
- no fucking swearing
- no paying for content if it can be pirated
- cats are our overlords
Bend the knee to cats, the only true masters of humanity! (and also download a fucking car)
- Don’t have an opinion too far away from the general public.

Don’t know. I haven’t found them yet.

Every thread against people not strictly aligning with Leftist politics will be boiled down to: “There are three types of people: reasonable people who agree with me, crazy fascists on the other side, and lily-livered wimps who can’t pick a side (and are also secretly fascists who just won’t admit it)!”
-
Anyone with passable writing skills will be downvoted because creating cogent arguments against them is hard, and heaven forbid anyone see a smart argument that doesn’t align with your views perfectly.
-
In a similar vein, people will use the downvote as a “fuck you” button without commenting or adding any value to the conversation whatsoever.
(Edit: Yes, yes. You’re all hilarious. I may not have a button to hit, but fuck you too.)
this is written like a lily-livered wimp who is anti-woke and won’t admit it
My liver may be flower-scented, but I tend to not paint situations in broad-stoke terms like “woke” that are used to dismiss valid arguments.
You can’t disprove a label (especially a vague one that someone else applies to you), however you can very much disprove points.
That sounds like some of that woke socio-commu-liberalism to me.
/s for the oblivious
Leftists famously don’t have uniform views and bitterly disagree on important topics. Some leftists aren’t reasonable in my opinion, with many non leftists having better reasoning behind their beliefs. Too many leftists are purity testing assholes, treating leftism with the same elitism that people on Lemmy treat using Linux. I hate elitism, even if you want to limit how big a community is. It’s just an unpleasant attitude.
You summarised my feelings far more eloquently than I managed here yesterday.
Downvote for you!!
But seriously, lemmy feels like more of an echo chamber than reddit ever did to me (which is saying a lot), maybe that’s because it’s an echo chamber for views i don’t agree with and reddit was more aligned to my thinking so I notice it more here, but dear god it’s getting harder and harder to stick around.
Don’t worry, bud, ive got your right wing right here, despite not being right wing, an american, a frequent voter, or anything…I just apparently am to people so delusional they think a canadian style rational socialist is a fascist.
I guess everyone is on the right when you’re on the absolute most extreme left.
Re: the silent downvoting: IMHO, it’s childish and worse than toadying as it’s both inherently cowardly and lacks any real effort at all. If I thought it would constructively improve the platform, I’d suggest a daily rationing of them, but what’s the point?
edit: D’awww, the chickenshits took the time to click. That’s adorable.
Many comments don’t deserve any effort beyond a downvote. Whether you like it or not, it’s how the system is designed to work.
In this case I downvoted you for being a condescending piece of shit in your edit. Otherwise I probably would have ignored you and moved on.
Sorry, kiddo, but that’s not “how the system is designed to work” (you’d know this if you actually read the community guidelines, rather than just wandering in and assuming it was Reddit 2.0), and instead is simply finding a similar fate that etymological morphology suffers at the hands of illiteracy.
Swing and a miss. Next.
We’ve got a linguistic prescriptivist here! Everyone come and look at the guy who’s sick of stuff shifting over time in response to community sentiment!
Necro much? FFS, boomer.
It really is the embodiment of that old joke about people never wanting to hear other people’s opinions, and only wanting to hear their own opinion parroted back to them by someone passably eloquent.
I can only assume, that these downvotes are meant as a not so smart joke.
Funnily enough, “not so smart joke” is the same descriptor I have for no-discussion downvoters.
