The easiest and most effective solution would be to just get Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter/X to crack down harder on misinformation.

Optimally, there should even be a sort of “social reputation ranking” system in place to disincentivize online misinformation and hate speech by tying it to real-life ramifications. We sort of already have something like that for job applications, and I’m proud of that, but if we could extend the enforcement and implementation of this kind of thing to, say, transportation, real estate, or banking, that would certainly be a commendable step in the right direction. Ranted about the mask and vaccine mandates in 2020? Good luck buying that car.

Too bad an increasing and worrisome number of these platforms are being owned by right-wing shrinks. Heil Spez and Heil Musk.

Fucking carbrains.

I like this. It saves resources. And I think we should all start adapting to it.

Unfortunately, I cannot eat at Five Guy’s or Chick-Fil-A because I am allergic to peanuts and they use peanut oil.

The elitist attitudes surrounding Apple products is so unbelievable. “OMG, I have an iPhone!” Yeah, you have an iPhone, so what? You’re the best? You can FaceTime your friends, despite you and your friends probably having, like, 7 other apps to do so? And no UI customizability or jailbreaking?

I’m just unable to understand the Apple/iOS hype. It makes my eyes roll. I’m content with my Samsung and Android, thanks.

They are putting the community in danger by banning masks.

See, this is why we need more diverse representation in the media now. Manchildren always whine about “diversity ruining everything” when it’s really a truer reflection of America’s evolving demographics.

I’ll play devil’s advocate: one benefit I could see to Reddit’s karma system is that it can quickly filter out spam or alt accounts from more serious communities.

Only if we fix the servers and reduce the bugs.

What about egg_irl?

Yes

I can’t even see this or any of the other comments on this post.

Wait, I actually can’t even see your comment if I open the thread.

How do you sync things?

Didn’t one of the larger gif sites announce their discontinuation?

As long as we don’t allow capitalist corporate greed to ruin the Fediverse like it has ruined (and will continue to ruin) practically everything.

Thanks. I subscribed.

instances

I think I might’ve been saying “instances” when I’ve meant “communities” and vice versa.

lib.lgbt

Is the fediverse set up so that I could participate on lib.lgbt on lemmy.world and vice versa?

I just looked it up and… lemmy has blocked Beehaw??

Not just fewer kids. But fewer conservatives too.

Gosh, I love it here.
