Gamifying the voting incentivises people to make low quality posts and comments. That’s why Reddit is now basically just rage bait fake stories with comment chains that all look exactly the same. And now it’s all just ai generated anyway.

I sometimes visit and read the AITAH type stories and I’m dumbfounded that people can believe or enjoy reading them. All the subtleties and nuances of the early days are gone and it’s a race to who can karma farm the hardest.

The other thing that made Reddit great in early days were the small communities being visible on the front page. It made the content varied and there were different types of posting hitting front page. I think Lemmy is struggling with this because politics is just so loud that we don’t have enough volume of other content being made.

What does “general” mean in this context?

In prefer not feeding Ooklas data, openspeedtest doesn’t use their servers and is also selfhostable

I prefer OpenSpeedtest. It’s also selfhostable so none of this “no server” nonsense

Are you trying to argue that the slaves should be grateful?

This is a Linux community and most of these terms are common to even people new to Linux. I guess your joke isn’t really that funny. I hope you enjoy learning some new technology today!

“Wake up call” 🤣

We’ll be dead before humanity wakes up

I see this pic appearing a lot in these musk posts. I honestly have no problem with it, who wasn’t a cringy fuck when they were younger?

It’s just a distraction from the real problem. This billionaire has way too much influence over the lives of people in the world and he shouldn’t. Eat the rich

Almost spat out my food, thanks

Loved this show. Ended too early

I found it very hard to follow without having played the game. There’s a lot of jargon that I didn’t enjoy
