Welcome to Lemmy!

It’s like Reddit with the provocative takes and hyperbole, but even more extreme somehow!

This place is hilarious.

That’s true this place could really use less users.

Couldn’t just some of y’all defed instead of blocking it wholesale for everyone?

I thought one of the main perks of federation was user choice?

Congrats, you’ve learned how owning copies of original art works!

It’s true, but it’s also because small businesses often suck and exploit their communities, so people just stop shopping there when they have better options.

I’m not sure why so many people have rose colored glasses on for mom and pop stores, but they are just run by people trying to make a profit off of a community same as anyone else.

Y’all have a strangely strong emotional reaction to me just informing you that paying for the product works well as well.

Sometimes you pay for a product and it’s not what you expected or it sucks.

Also having zero problems here paying for it.

Let me try to keep it simple for you.

In capitalism money is power, man with lot of money have lot of power. Ooga booga strong arm your whole company.

What did Depp do?

Fuck you for bringing this back to me. 😟

Or more likely, the people who hate something the most are more likely to post about it than people who love it or are ambivalent. No worries though, I blocked the forum so we won’t have to trouble each other anymore.

Username checks out and proves my point, lmao what are you even doing here?

Y’know it’s funny because one of the proposed benefits of lemmy was the decentralized nature of the forums meant you could pick from the ones you liked, yet I’ve subbed to 5 tech instances here and they are all exactly the same. Nothing but F.U.D. This will be the last remaining one I unsubscribe from, and even end up blocking because of the nonsense.

So, yeah, apparently that thing being a benefit was a lie when in reality it will just populate with the same people saying the same things.

Ah well…enjoy your echo chambers I guess!

This is a tech sub on lemmy.ml, prepare to be flooded by luddites afraid of all things tech. Eventually you learn subs only exist for the stuff people hates here, not the stuff people love.

Yelp does not do that, those are scammers.

Well thank god this sort of short sighted thinking isn’t prevalent in science or medicine or we’d all be fucked.

*lol a scientist scooped a baby rat’s brain’s out just to satisfy his curiosity about dreams and sleep. You guys think I’m worried about some monkeys dying to help paralyzed people live again, I’m not. Science be like that sometimes, progress of all kinds is built on suffering of some sort, those in charge of the universe do their best to make sure it’s not them. You can hate me and my ideals if you want, but at least I’m not ignorant to the cause and what’s at stake just because I’m emotionally invested in the man behind the curtain.

Decentralization is necessary to prevent an all eggs in one basket type of situation. An all in one would just be targeted so fast it would be worthless.

And at only about 10 times the cost of traditional bicycle tires, you’ll only need to not replace your tires about 11 times for this to be cost-effective!

No, I knew! I agreed with you they were completely useless and unhelpful, that’s more or less why I just wanted to get that guide out here, hopefully it can save just one persons hearing!

Here’s a handy guide if it helps.
