Formerly @DudePluto@lemmy.ml - migrated to help with server load.
Migrating soon to @DudePluto@lemm.ee due to disagreements with lemmy.world’s implementation of Rule 1.
Yeah look at how every single conversation about supporting small businesses went on reddit. Users would rage day and night about the ills of megacorporations. But if you got them talking about supporting small business they’d come out of the woodwork to tell you they’re not paying a higher price. And with things being as tight as they are right now, that’s a logical conclusion. But it just goes to show that even if you sit someone down and explain to them that X thing they say they support absolutely cannot compete with the price of Y thing they say they hate - they will still side with their pocketbook 9/10 times
I don’t think you realize how incredibly short 10 years is in terms of investment recuperation. That’s not realistic unless you’re talking about abandoning capitalism all together, at which point the particulars of IP law are irrelevant
Individuals and small companies would never be able to compete with the resources of someone like Amazon
I don’t have an answer to your actual question other than self-hosting. But, I doubt you’d ever get a “firehose of trash” on your main feed. Mainly because the trashy instances aren’t that populous, so I doubt their posts would be active or hot enough to float to the top. But I could be wrong.
You could always go directly to the instance you want to read and lurk. Unless you make an account you won’t be able to comment, but you’ll be able to get your firehose of trash
Edit: Just be mindful of how much you consume, you’d be surprised how easily hate can invade your mind. To this day I still have to self-censor every now and then thanks to the hateful rhetoric I grew up around, even though I’m long past it
But everyone was so much thinner back then. The average person was so much hotter.
Because they inherited an economy with actual food and replaced it with “food” filled with industrial inventions like corn syrup
Economic liberalism is the economic theory of both American parties. Idk how it came to be applied to only the democratic party but that’s incorrect. OP is presumably critiquing economic liberalism from a leftist perspective, of which the Democrats are not
witty commentary on current issues
Am I the only one who doesn’t enjoy the twitter-takes? Don’t get me wrong, I actually agree with most of the takes. It’s just that it all feels like they’re trying to one-up each other with the cleverest gotcha and it makes me roll my eyes. Maybe I’m just not the target audience for a twitter/mastodon style community
I’d just log off lol
How about you use the most basic social etiquette available and be at least not a total asshole.
And how about I take this chance to remind everyone that we can all block the users we don’t want to interact with. And that maintaining a block list is a great way to ensure a decent online experience
Using Connect too, surprised I don’t hear more about it. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty solid
The curious ones will eventually settle down and even redistribute into smaller instances
Absolutely. I migrated from lemmy.ml when that was having too many sign-ups, and I’m not opposed to migrating from lemmy.world to help with their load. I’m sure I’m one of many
I would imagine it working just like on reddit and lemmy, where it can originally be claimed by the original poster or anyone who wants it. It’s obviously not an ideal solution, but it’s worked well enough historically. Maybe someone else would have a better idea
Some communities aren’t updating on lemmy.world
Specifically, I moderate /c/worldbuilding@lemmy.ml and I noticed that lemmy.world’s side is not updating. No new posts from lemmy.ml’s side, and their side shows 300+ subscribers while mine shows ~80
Just created c/biblicalstudies@lemmy.world as I didn’t see one. Working on transferring academic resources over from r/academicbiblical
I see what you mean but that would require you to make an account for each topic you want to discuss. If they make it so you can have one account for every instance that might be great, though
Yes! I struggle to motivate myself to stick with hobbies. I love photography, making art, writing - but often the motivation is just lacking. But cooking? I’m biologically motivated to cook (most days) so it’s easy to keep up with. All I have to do is save recipes and plan ahead just a little
