"this is almost as good as reddit"

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is a good one. Lemmy is good, but not being able to create avatars or give wholesome awards to posts kinda makes me want to go back

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the gold kind stranger

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago

(I had to forcibly remind myself that we're upvoting what we'd normally downvote. Good work!)

[–] CarlsIII@kbin.social 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t see any reason for me to use Linux

"Israel's actions against Hamas are completely justified."

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 23 points 1 year ago

"We should federate with Threads."

[–] scottmeme 23 points 1 year ago

This just feels like rage bait

[–] HamSwagwich@showeq.com 22 points 1 year ago (4 children)

You can post anything and it will get down voted. Lemmy is as toxic as reddit and people use downvote as a tool to suppress what they don't like, regardless of the merit of the comment.

[–] 520@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

You can post anything and it will get down voted.

I disagree. Downvoting...

[–] theKalash@feddit.ch 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Downvoting doesn't really suppress anything.

Also you can effectivly disable it by switching to a frontend that hides votes and sorting by new. I think that's even the default for some instances.

I'm currently commenting on all the Linux communities - "I don't have this problem because I use Windows" and they're not seeing the irony

[–] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 15 points 1 year ago

Firefox sucks.

[–] fishos@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

All the failed examples of communism that people say "that's only because it wasn't really communism" are really proof of why communism can't work at all. If a system is what it does, then communism always creates facism.

Edit: autocorrect originally changed it to "racism". Still got upvote lol

This is just a trick to make me look bad if someone looks through my profile.

Elon Musk is right.

[–] theKalash@feddit.ch 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Anywhere on lemmy? That should be easy. Basically go to any niche community and shit on their central theme.

For example explain how windows is the superior OS on a linux instance. Or say you use chrome on a privacy instance.

[–] gullible@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or just say “macOS master race” anywhere.

Tbh I'd just say some racist shit. I'm not gonna write the racist things I would say I legitimately believed it would save my wife's life. I am from the deep south. I have all that shit in a neglected shed in the backlot of my brain. Not thoughts and opinions, just hurtful words. And I can't forget them because I was an elementary school vocab whiz when I first heard most of them.

[–] CheeseChief@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Reddit did nothing wrong.

[–] frankPodmore@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 year ago

Isn't Facebook free software, since it doesn't cost anything?

[–] perviouslyiner@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.

[–] RHSJack@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

4 day work week? I did my own research as a manager and find that actually a SIX day work week is better for workers.

[–] MrGerrit@feddit.nl 7 points 1 year ago

Politically I lean ever so slightly to the right.

Almost perma ban right there.

[–] runeko@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

CEOs are vastly underpaid.

[–] Tixanou@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

If this comment gets to 10 upvotes, I will donate a Windows PC with Chrome installed! And with Reddit bookmarked.

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Allying with Putin will fix all of America's problems

ethical billionaires exist

9/11 was mid at best.

[–] southsamurai 5 points 1 year ago

Nah dawg, you aren't fooling us with this one

[–] nomecks@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I wish this place was more like Reddit

Linux is the worst OS ever.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Windows is better.
Linux is way too complicated and gaming is impossible.
And don't get me started on the whole CLI with Linux.

Trump's presidency was the best thing that ever happened to this nation

Bill O'Reilly had a lot of great points

Programming isn't hard at all, it's just \<\this> and anyone who is not able to grasp that is immediately stupid

Basically anything creationist in nature stating it as fact

[–] MECHAGIC@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Lemmy is way too confusing and hard to use

[–] FireTower@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You and I are not the same.

You upvote comments that are relevant to the thread.

I downvote every comment to save your mothers.

I can't do pictures right now because of the severs but insert Giancarlo Esposito picture here.

[–] RushingSquirrel@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Elon Musk is a hero and we should all praise him, buy Teslas and use autopilot all the time while checking out our phones.
