You live in a digitially organized folder?

From a different end-user POV, seeing the same stuff repeated is not fun. I would prefer to see everything once instead of choosing between seeing almost everything twice(subscribed to both) or missing a little bit(subscribed to one, blocked the other).

It's less about weeb shit and more about the sounds of the words. They abbreviate it as Ligma (balls hehe got'em!)

Holy shit this comment fucking killed me. It's so funny.

I understand that a flood in the Netherlands would spell catastrophe but it sounds like the water just can't flood there, because it is the Netherlands, not because of the amazing stuff that they built

Is that G.W Bush eating pussy?

That's devastatingly hot.

It used to be that way on Reddit before they changed the algorithm to force old posts (older than 12 hours and then 24 hours and so on) to fuck off from the front page. It's also a problem that multiple instances show you the same post repeatedly, so a popular post on the front page stays there for a whole week and you will still see it even if you scroll past it.

Lemmy devs simply do not address the issues of the platform.

The problem is that while subscribed you see the popular posts twice. All of them. Sometimes even literally one after the other in the feed lol

Right now we just choose between seeing almost everything twice (sub to both) or missing a little (sub to only one).

Couldn't find it within 5 minutes of searching - therefor I accounce that such a video does not exist

Meth is a product that was found, and then developed and improved in order to be better at what it does. The expertise demonstrated in the creation of Meth shouldn't be compared to Facebook, which is just the first product to come out of a market. Facebook hasn't developed further as a social media platform, it has developed further as a money making device.

You could say Alcohol is the Facebook of drugs. Drugs have developed over a very long time unlike social media, so the history is much greater for this case, but the point is that alcohol, despite not being the best in all categories, is the most popular drug simply because it's not as harmful as others (such as meth) and has been around for longer than the new, less risky alternatives (such as weed). I'm not considering coffee as a drug for this metaphor. Alcohol is making the most money not because it is good, but because the rest is mostly illegal, and/or less ingrained in social norms and traditions.

Point is, I kind of lost myself along the way and started rambling, comparing Facebook to Meth is not fair because Meth is not socially accepted while Facebook is, maybe compare Reddit to Meth, idk

For everything except the memes I agree. The memes are clearly not generated by 30+ year olds though, and there are a lot of memes. (all of those 196 communities)

Math-wise, it won't take long until they are tied to the track with us and everyone else.

For now, in the past 30 days I've seen instances be very active in moderation and development and federation\defederation. They defederate even when they don't need to. This anecdotal experience leads me to believe that most instances will defederate from Meta, but I'm certain that a few of them will not.

I agree on some points, but I think it's not fair to compare it to email. People use emails for work are somewhat forced to use them pretty often. I don't know anyone who browsed Reddit for work over the past 12 years I've had an account, and I don't believe Lemmy will change that. People are not forced to use Lemmy, reaching the maximum amount of people is usually not the point unless you're advertising, and if you're targeting the Facebook crowd you can... advertise on Facebook - this wouldn't even be anything new.

The question isn't whether or not the majority of users can use the Fediverse without being hampered by the corpos, it's whether or not the core users can. Unless Meta can somehow force federation unto all instances, I will be able to choose an instance that is not federated with them.

Might be worth letting them meet like... a merchant or something. With cool stuff to buy. Like hats, very expensive hats

My dude, a lawyer's job isn't to "win" in court. The job is to represent the client and make sure that their rights are fulfilled. For a prisoner on death's row, it might mean he gets to write a will and have a last meal or whatever, and that the method of execution will not be cruel and so on.

Company legal firms are responsible to guide the company into those bullshit loopholes so that the company can be societally garbage but not be punished by law, and those work mostly by avoiding court cases or forcing lawsuits in unloseable cases (such as copyrights).

Birds can often swim. The fish also can't fly.

Dude, most people in Israel start a degree around 22-24 in Israel. You're not the only one who served 3 years in the military. Starting a degree earlier is almost exclusively for privileged people. If you can get accepted to a uni at 22, that's actually really early - you'd be the youngest post-army person in class.

If you didn't serve in the military, at least you're not behind in academic terms.

edit: this isn't even taking into account the perspective of age. The time you'll have between finishing the degree and just being 40 is A LOT longer than it seems at 22. I'm 29, you have soooooooo much time. And on a second age perspective, even at 40 it's not a bad idea because you can just do whatever you want.

TL;DR just go for it

From a viewer's perspective yes, it doesn't seem very interesting to me. But seeing a cartoon artist make money is exciting!
