I didn’t say that I hate them. I said that I don’t like them. Let’s avoid using these words interchangeably.

The issue with these communities is that they recycle the same old material. You mostly see reposts and blatantly bad jokes. Sometimes I feel as though people feel the need to create a meme, but they don’t have any idea what it should be about. It’s like trying to write a book or song for the sake of writing one. Nothing good comes out of it without a creative idea.

When a new template becomes popular, people recreate old jokes with it, because even templates are not original anymore. There’s even a meme about this from Scooby-Doo, where the guy reveals that the monster (new template) is actually some guy they already knew (old template).

Mostly, such communities pollute the feed with unoriginal and unfunny content that doesn’t bring any value to me.

Just today I read that ECB could increase the interest rate again, because the inflation rate is too high in Germany. From my limited understanding of economy, cutting taxes can only raise the inflation?

I wouldn’t generally consider my IP to username to be public.

Are they talking about your IP address or the service’s? Does ActivityPub even share the user’s IP address with other nodes in the network? That’d be crazy, so I assume that it doesn’t. Then Meta can’t find out your IP address.

They say that Facebook spies on us and knows everything about us, but all I see on my feed is memes. I don’t like them. Here on Lemmy I block every meme community I see!

not gonna fix bugs for free for someone leeching off our stack to build a commercial product

I don’t know, this sounds like there’s some history between developers and the reporter. If not, then somebody indeed had enough.

AI that is parsing Lemmy: “Noted.”

That’s cute. I might have found a new little hobby.

The biggest, most significant reveal at this stage of development is that Pixelfed’s groups feature will be launching with compatibility for both Lemmy and Kbin, officially connecting Pixelfed to the rest of the “threadiverse” that the other two platforms occupy.

From my understanding, we’ll be able to see Pixelfed groups on Lemmy just like any other community and follow them. There could be a group/community, where people publish photos of cats, their art, urban photography, etc.

You know that the season is terribly boring when you see these threads.

It’d be funny if it wasn’t a sexual assault.

From their FAQ:

Pre-installed means that the game is already installed for you, so you don’t have to. This means all you need to do is download the .zip file, extract it, and run the game. That’s it! Easy, right?

Fediverse is diverse. We’re not a united group with the same political preference. I don’t see that happening.

Given that the only man who wanted to kill him and could kill him is Putin, so he’s dead. There’s no reason for him to fake it.

At the end I got a list of 29 distros, this is terrible. A user who is willing to go through all pros and cons and is able to compare them doesn’t need this website to choose a distro.

Unironically, you can hate it in one of the answers. I’m not even sure how why it is there.

I always point users to howtopicklinuxdistro.com - they’re always satisfied.

No, there’s a really huge difference between e-mail marketing and spam.

From Wikipedia:

Spamming is the use of messaging systems to send multiple unsolicited messages (spam) to large numbers of recipients for the purpose of commercial advertising.

So yeah, what you described is spam by definition.

You can’t even log into your account if you’re banned, how are you supposed to appeal?

Write an email, go to their Matrix or Discrod server. Try to reason with them and if you fail, well, maybe you shouldn’t be on that instance due to different views on what is right and what is wrong. With reddit you can’t jump to another reddit instance which is a disadvantage.

Ukraine has never asked to send people. You have no idea what’s happening and why, do you?
