magnetosphere

I used to use reddit constantly, and did so for years. That level of hostility took over so gradually that I didn’t even consciously notice. I used Lemmy for a few weeks before it really sunk in that nobody had jumped down my throat over a minor, irrelevant issue (like a careless punctuation or grammatical error).

People here tend to give each other the benefit of the doubt, which had become virtually unheard of on reddit. Even when people make replies I don’t agree with, they’re usually discussing the point rather than the way that point is presented.

I will never, ever go back.

This site doesn’t rate articles. It rates news sources.

That is an extremely important distinction! Thanks!

Edit: that wasn’t sarcasm. I honestly think it’s a valuable thing to know and remember.

That’s how I see it. Some tech bro shitheads are trying to profit off the generous, free work of others. That kind of parasitic mentality is the last thing the Fediverse needs.

It’s a misinterpretation of what he said, which then became a joke

Last night I assassinated Joe Momma in bed.

Is “Discuit” pronounced like Triscuit?

kbin is the first to come to mind.

Look at any post or comment that has downvotes. Click “more”, choose “activity”, then click “reduces”.

Edit: I replied before seeing that others already had. Whoops!

I’m not sure “downvote” should be included in Opt-out. Some instances allow a poster to see exactly who downvoted them. If someone is saying something obnoxious or repulsive enough to consider reporting, there’s a good chance they’re doing it on purpose. I don’t need to be on their trolling shit list.

Out of context, “I still dont understand why we need bluesky” sounds like something an oil executive would say. In context, I completely agree.
