People will do anything, but use Firefox

Probably because the current system works for them, and changing it would cost political capita that could be used elsewhere.

The Crusades were what? A thousand years ago? I don't think it's really that applicable as a "hypocrisy" card anymore. And the Inqusition is almost as old.

For the third one, sure.

I think the federation system is quite a barricade for some people. I recently changed over to Lemmy from Reddit, and it was quite challenging to first understand how it worked. Also I am not sure that I even now understand how this works fully.

Also the smaller community on Lemmy might be a turn-off for some people.

This was honestly the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I used to check reddit every now and then, but after this I just couldn't justify it to myself to use it. I used to post a lot of stuff, and I modded a relatively small community, but it just feels wrong to use it.

Well, over here hard-line socialism is tied directly to Soviet attempts of taking away our independence through military force after us being occupied for well over a thousand years.

Being mad about not using a slur is one of the things I have seen on this website.

American dishwashers run very hot and use harsh detergents

How rude of them. I will use european dishwashers now and my dishes that aren't dishwasher safe will be better than ever.

Genocide and war aren't mutually exclusive

It was a prion disease that was only contracted in the Fore people. The only way to get it was to be born with it or eat someone with the disease. So once people there stopped cannibalism, the disease began to disappear.

What's the most dangerous brick? A crocodile

People couldn't care less if it's centralized or not. People come for the community, not the tech behind it. Also people are lazy, they will use the easiest thing that comes up. Why should one go to another instance, if the one they are right now works great?

I am not saying that this system is bad. I am just saying that people will always take the easiest option there is.
