Because I’m trying to avoid devoting mind space to things that only make me angry, I’d like to ask, is it worth looking them up? Or will they just make me lose slightly more faith in humanity?

Disregarding everything else, what’s a pod bro? Like vape pod? A fan of the dolphins? Ugly storage enthusiast?

This is potentially the grimmest perspective I’ve ever read. I don’t think you’re wrong, either.

Tony hawk gazes upon the mountains before him. The pale mountains of Switzerland, in the multilingual country of Switzerland, located near the center of Europe. The peaks before him, Swiss mountains of the country of Switzerland in a region predominantly speaking German, beckoned him. He loaded his skateboard underneath his arm and ambled toward the mass of earth that he would make his.

The journey was long and rife with Italian and German-speaking Swiss pointing out his appearance, but he broke free of their eyes and ankles and climbed to the summit. As he slid the skateboard out from beneath his sensuous arm, he awakened. In one fluid motion, he dropped and mounted the board, riding down the mountain like a man in fire, breaking the language barrier as he shrieked affirmations of his identity in hypoxic confusion. Each of his limbs were found in separate lingual regions, leading the world to posthumously dub him “Switzerland’s Exodia.”

You can’t discount the selfish and hateful as stupid as even the most vile people can be cunning. I’d agree that the median conservative would be less intelligent than the median liberal, but that discludes the folks looking to take from others their money, freedom, and time in order to enrich themselves monetarily or psychologically. Not everything can be Hanlon’s razor’d, sometimes people just enjoy sucking.

TIL worldstar is still running. Huh.

I remember my first experience with voat being a poll discussing whether they should ban child porn. The split was ~90% in favor of banning, 10% against. 10% is concerningly high.

Some context links go to entirely different comment chains as well.

It’s a safe space in the literal sense. They defederated to keep out hate speech cross contamination.

Political stability is reasonable, economy’s unstable, seems uneasy. I get curious every few years and read up.

Bots are ubiquitous in all of the pixel placers. Also swastikas.

Say what you want about good faith debate, which lemmy is absolutely overflowing with, but if you can’t recognize trolling then you’re wasting everyone’s time by fiddling with the hook. Naivety breeds naivety. Pointing out trolls keeps this place from descending into the Reddit fiction anthology cesspit of relationshipadvice and amitheasshole. Thank you for your post.

I dunno, I get a sort of schadenfreude when Reddit fucks up bigly but I can’t say that I care enough to want to see it fail. When they screw up, the feeling isn’t so much malicious gratification but more relief at finding something better before Huffman Musked it up. Given that there’s a full community devoted to gleefully watching reddit burn, my opinion is probably in the minority. Still, glad that lemmy’s so great.

Sincere question, is it difficult to create harvest methane from animals? Most livestock basically never sees the sun so it’s not like there’s an interminable area to harvest from, and stories of farmyard methane fires aren’t exactly uncommon so the concentration is there.

You mention downvotes? Believe it or not, reduce. You mention upvotes, also reduce. We have the best comments in the world because of reduce.

I’ve seen other posts where users have located their most recent deleted posts and comments despite their profile displaying them as deleted. If the admins said that their website was broken and slowly processing deletions then I’d believe them, it’s Reddit after all, but they instead blamed the script. This smells of beef-fed bullshit.

Request the desktop site to find the nearly full resolution picture.

No, it’s exclusively admins using admin tools. Check the pixels for the usernames that placed them.

That’s comparing apples and community centers; people would just leave and block this instance.

Chtorr was their name, iirc.
