Lemmy has some of the most tiresome people, like a completely humorless version of the most circlejerk parts of reddit. Why am I here then. Because how are we ever gonna have a reddit alternative if we don’t have at least a few normal people.

That seems fine, if distasteful? Like I’m in support of free expression

What is with hexbear and lemmygrad…why are people calling these out

This is the twitter and reddit ethos. Everyone is Super Smart and You Are Wrong Ha Ha.

On reddit you can find smaller communities where people are more normal and it’s closer to having a discussion at a bar than it is going on to /r/politics or something.

Zuck sucks but this open letter is embarrassing. Dial back the smarm and self-righteousness a couple notches. I get it’s marketing and not really an open letter but still, cringe

Least sensible discussion I’ve been in in a while

We could do laps on this all day. In the end if a trans person says they’re trans and this is what it means to them, I’ll take them at their word.

Start trying Linux now using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). It’s a great way to dip your toe in the water, and your computer can run it today.

I haven’t looked into it, but there’s got to be some open source firmware for a lot of these TVs, right? To improve the UI and remove all spyware and bloatware?

I legit don’t know how binding arbitration can be legal.

Agreeing to terms of actual usage of the product, I understand. Like for a pogo stick, assuming your own risk of injury.

But I don’t know how they can legally just say that suing is impossible.
