I was actually kinda disappointed when I found out that Game Theory had nothing to do with games, and was actually just math. ๐ฉ
This is why you should read Ender's Game before you're allowed to watch YouTube.
I remember the vitriol of old reddit. I believe you are contributing to that more than helping.
Reddit was never pure in terms of discussion or kindness; I think you've got some heavily tinted rose glasses on. But reddit succeeded and brought you the deep, insightful discussion you crave because the enthusiasts were there. And enthusiasts are human, they are not all heartless cogs there to infodump and complain. The most knowledgeable, well-read, and well-spoken people I know are also ones to crack jokes and make their passions accessible and interesting.
If you want healthy discussion, I strongly believe you should allow at least a bit of levity and let people speak a little more freely. Chastising people for not being insightful enough will turn away plenty of the people you want to keep.
Let neckbeards and normies mingle. It's okay to have fun.
Also worth mentioning: this is Microblog Memes. It's in the name.
I love when trolls like you are super obvious. Makes the decision to block you so much easier. Buh bye now.
Are you a robot in a SciFi film who just turned evil or is the massive quantity of red light coming out of your eyes just your rose tinted glasses
Enshittification is specifically a platform getting worse because it needs to shift resources to its advertisers or itself. If you think this is happening on Lemmy, I would you curious how, otherwise please do not contribute to diluting the term and making it into a synonym of "thing getting worse"
Enshittification, per the rules of english, is when you turn something into shit.
Don't really care what Corey Doctorow wants to refer to, but he's welcome to make up a word that doesn't have a meaning already per the rules of the English language.
How dare you talk to my boy Kolanaki like that
Never talk to me or my dog again
Jokes aside, 2 days in and a 50 downvote comment seems almost impressive
