The whole point of game of thrones was that it was fantasy but very grounded, only having a few magical elements and those were metaphors (dragons are nukes).
Felt really weird to see such magical creatures like a Witcher game from a source material that has wolves but big as one of the mystical creature.
Hundred years ago probably:
“I bet in a century, people won’t remember the steam engine, assembly lines and telegraph, they’ll just remember the Industrial Revolution. “
So I sort either by hot or active, and view either home or all.
Home + hot is the least noisy and I use it for my feed good time, although lots of politics still comes through.
All + active shows you the most controversial stuff, pretty much your regular political dramas.
All + hot leads to random posts from communities that are obscure, can be very fun sometimes.
Honestly, imo the biggest problem is the state of the world, not the technology
Yeah… the only thing that gives me hope is the Simpsons shit posting sub, it’s just a little less active than the Reddit equivalent. I guess being a Simpson fan made you more likely to migrate.
I think we were growing and then the election cycle happened.
Kind of wish lemmy happened a decade earlier before all the constant rage.
Okay so how is there no nerdy subs for stuff like this?
There isn’t that few of us, I think we just keep getting drowned in politics.
I haven’t seen many comments not wanting people to join but more like, we are fine even if they don’t.
When I joined lemmy, I found it to be rather easy, so I never understood this barrier to entry.
I think it’s because someone just linked me to an instance, so I just went there and signed up like a regular site.
Ideally we want more users and for the fediverse to hit critical mass but idk how that can ever happen when corporate social media sites will always have a marketing budget.
So imo it’s not the difficulty, it’s like wondering why people keep paying for certain software when there are free alternatives, cause corporate software will always be more dumbed down.
Getting mad about trolls saying controversial things is not being informed, it’s feeding the trolls.
Its much easier to just read actual news (when laws are passed, deals are made and things happen).
Wish we had labels for that
No, I call them claws.

The issue is, if you start flossing here and there, then they start recommending every night. If you do that, they recommend after every meal.
Feels like a negative sum game.
Bro he is threatening Canada, it’s full knives out now.
What I don’t get is why not pretend it’s centralized and just recommend a server when you introduce someone to lemmy instead of trying to teach them?
Oh you want an alternative to Reddit, here, go to lemmy.ca since your Canadian.
