Reddit:

Honestly curious... what exactly are you doing in a community who's stated goal is to evangelize the Lemmy network?

I think the most effective reply is highlighting their methodology and moving on, rather than allowing yourself to be bogged down in rebuttals. You can never convince them because they are not "debating" earnestly, and the audience they are performing for isn't interested in following a debate and will dismiss both sides.

Oh my yes.

Agree completely, I also just feel it's important to highlight that style of inauthentic behavior.

What are you accomplishing, right here, right now, with this comment?

The function of accounts like the one you are replying to is to encourage cynicism and inaction among otherwise anti-fascist people.

Failing that, they will try to exhaust you with "debate".

Well, this season looks officially ridiculous.

Got it, appreciate the feedback! I actually tried the new Libra Color briefly and found the screen too hard to read without the backlight, wheras my Kindle I almost never use the backlight indoors. That said the Libra 2 was really nice and I may go back to it anyway.

Thank you! Does this work for all models?

Thanks yes I was looking at Boox but I really want it to be as not tablet-like as possible, and the battery thing would be a small hurdle for me. Kobo has some nice devices, I wish there was an updated sage as I don't really care about colors.

That's a great explainer, thank you! Any guidance on pointing me in the right direction to find Kindle jail breaking walk throughs? I may just end up keeping mine.

I was as surprised as you!

I joined what I thought was a plain simple Star Trek Website how did I end up here please someone help

"Just keep on Lemmy. It feels like Reddit did 14 years ago."

For better or worse this really nails it. I also think it's a good reminder that when Reddit conquered Digg it happened over a six month period because there was like 100k users maybe total. There are so many more people involved with Reddit these days it's going to take literal years before Lemmy is anywhere near the same level in terms of MAU.

My unpopular opinion is that while the 2009 Enterprise does not look at all like the starships I know and love (more) it is definitely doing it's own thing in a unique (and tonally consistent with the Ambramsverse movies) way that I appreciate.

The design language for those films is a sort of 2010's retro-futurism that just lands really well IMO.

Nice, I was very close to buying a new pair of headphones so happy that a $25 purchase and an hour of work brought them back.

Implying RTD knows what the basics are.... (i kid i kid)

Yeah but I think it's childish to complain about movies "might as well not existing" if you haven't even looked for them.
