It’s that easy…

We call those people wappies where I live. There’s no reasoning with them. No one takes them seriously.

Did you try some of the smaller instances? Big instances will inevitably face the same problems that Reddit has/had. A platform is as good as it’s users, and you can only moderate up to a certain point untill it becomes straight up censorship. Sadly more people also means more trolls and shitposters.

But yeah it’s still annoying and I fully agree with what you said.

Since most governments are filled with people who have way more money than they can spend in a lifetime probably never.

I will never understand why people who live in poverty or barely get by look at some rich CEO/billionaire whatever moneybags person go “yeah this person will probably understand my hardships and make it right, let’s make him governor or president”.

A lot of politicians are completely out of touch and as long as they’re doing well everyone must be doing well (or they simply don’t care).

I agree too. The fact is that our planet is simply fucked if we keep this ever urge for growth. It’s not sustainable and the cracks are clearly showing.

People don’t want to hear it but we should have a max 1 child limit per couple for at least some years or encourage people not to have children at all. Then when we’ve reached a healthy sustainable population have a 2 children max limit.

Less people = less consumption= less pollution.

Imagine being dumb enough to vote for someone like that.

I know too little about radioactive water and what the acceptable amount is for a person to eat through a fish that has been swimming in it

But holy shit can these stupid politicians who also don’t know shit about it stop insulting everyone’s intelligence with Simpsons (was literally an episode) like ways of convincing people.

I only trust well regarded scientists and experts, not some slimy politician. Literally kindergarten tier persuasion tactics.

A platform is as good as it’s users. I left Reddit because it turned into a shithole. I’ll do the same with Lemmy if that happens.

I actually like the multiple smaller communities here, it’s part of the charm. If you think an instance is becoming too big just go to another one.

You can’t really do that on Reddit since everyone is on the same big instance.

Also leaving Reddit is the best thing for my mental health I’ve done in a while

The record and movie industry must be paying out of their asses to have this shit taught in schools.

Let’s teach our kids the importance of making billionaires richer and not actual important stuff like checking facts or making a well informed decision when voting.

Absolute dystopian bullshit.

At this point I feel like Google wants to Intentionally kill off YouTube so they don’t have to bear the cost anymore. Just another one for the Google graveyard.
