Oh neato, didn’t know that!

To me it just shows lack of care in the topic. So easy to link an article. Not so easy to rub a couple brain cells together, I guess

Totally

Fair enough. Let’s agree to disagree! 🫲

God how I wish forums would see a resurgence. Back in the day they were so vibrant and fun!

I think we actually agree but there might be a partial misunderstanding. There was an example another commenter made of their experience with Xcancel. I think that explains it a bit more clearly.

Edit: this comment

That’s a perfect real world example

I would’ve been interested to hear that

Gotcha.

Hope you enjoy piefed, I learned about it shortly after joining lemmy.ca, and while I liked the look of it I just haven’t had a reason I’ve seen to make another move.

As in, you’re quoting me because you think my post’s content is busted and dumb? Or do you dislike that I said that?

I’m not sure because I don’t use piefed, but at least on Lemmy you can definitely downvote. Maybe try downvoting from another app or desktop?

Yeah that’s what I meant to express by saying “it’s fine”.

Moderators are free to moderate as they please, just as I am free to think it’s a largely widespread and pervasive problem overall.

Totally a place for ‘news-only’ communities which enforce certain websites or articles, but my point stands!

Subconsciously engrained way of doing things, I think you’ve hit the nail on the head!

Huge proportion of people here came from Reddit, and I guess it’s easier to do things the way we’re comfortable with. But that seems antithetical to the spirit and purpose of Lemmy and the Fediverse

/c/technology in lemmy.world

That’s one example

It would still gain traction before somebody noticed. And what does that say about the community?

Do they agree with the content of your ‘fake’ site? Do they just want to hear something they agree with regardless of the source?

I totally get your point. It’s still busted and dumb.

Ok my answer is going to be a little disappointing, but I thought about it for a bit and here’s what I can say…

Usually I read a book or I watch a film, I don’t think I’ve ever done both for the same story. Sometimes there is no equivalent book or film, and when there is, I personally just end up choosing whatever format my gut says to try.

If I’ve imagined a universe and story in my mind (from a book), or had the experience delivered to me (in a film), I don’t want them to conflict so I just choose one. Probably because I see so many debates about this online and I’m just like, “nah I’m not getting involved”.

I’m actually probably the worst qualified person to give an opinion on that!! But I recognize I’m probably a weirdo, as I don’t even watch film trailers or read the synopsis of books before I read/watch them. I just kinda hear about it however that happens, and decide to either skip or jump in. The exception to this being non-fiction or educational stuff, then it matters a bit more.

I guess, I just wanna enjoy (or dislike) a story and leave it at that.

Sorry for the total non-answer. But now you’ve got me curious, what’s your answer? Maybe I’ll make an exception for Grandwolf319 haha

I’ll be back within a day, you’d better have your topic of conversation prepared!
