Nah, Lemmy users are just mean, worse than Redditors. Add in internet anonymity and you get users that just dont care about other people, even going out of their way to harass or try to fight by writing comments like they’re trying to catch someone in a trap they think is clever.

Thankfully I can block entire instances so I dont have to deal with most of them. Its just a shame, because Lemmy was supposed to be better than Reddit, but I am seeing more that its almost worse. The only reason I even still use Lemmy is because I don’t like the Reddit mobile app. That’s literally it.

I definitely dont stay here for the users.

Not everyone I meet treats me the way people on Lemmy treat me. I am told I am a kind person and most people, while apathetic, are not so rude as Lemmy users. It’s a great quote, but ultimately not applicable to this particular situation. Have a good day, or not, make of it however you will.

I love it when I say what I think and people don’t have a real response so they just call me a troll, lol.

That’s fine, block me so I don’t have to deal with you anymore, I’m cool with that.

In case someone reading had a similar question but about race. Why do you care, do people of different races bother you?

I dont think so, nor do I care. Black people dress up as white characters all the time, I consider it the same. Dressing up as a character means that character means something to you, so I dont see where anyone should be offended by it.

Connect app for Lemmy actually has this feature, and it really is a gamechanger. I mean, it makes Lemmy kinda into a desolate wasteland of posts, but its better than seeing most of the garbage I don’t care about and don’t want to interact with.

Granted, this also relies on users putting said keywords in the title of their post, so I still end up seeing stuff I don’t want to, but it is drastically decreased.

I like the way Lemmy functions, with things like an open moderator log and the way that instances can be created to prevent too much control from one singular instance from pushing people completely off the platform if they have bad moderation, for example.

I don’t like the users. For every one user that is nice and wants to have a legitimate conversation, there are like 300 that just want to fight/argue or spew politics into a non-political conversation. The number of users I have blocked on Lemmy is far longer than the amount of users I ever blocked on Reddit, and my Reddit account existed for about 10 years. This Lemmy account has only been around for about 1/10th of that.

One of the biggest strengths of Lemmy is also one of its biggest curses. Due to its federated nature, anyone can create a new instance. The problem with this is that particularly nasty users can keep creating accounts on instances they keep creating in order to harass people they don’t like. So even if you block them, they just switch to a new account, etc. They can also do this for vote manipulation, not like that really matters on Lemmy but Lemmy users seem to have fallen victim to the same problem Redditors had: seeing a comment with 0 or -1 score and then completely disregarding whatever it said, not reading it and downvoting it automatically.

Reddit 2.0 lol

Not really. More politically far-left than Reddit is (and more political just in general, actually), but other than that Lemmy is more or less the same when it comes to how its users act and treat each other.

Tell her you are going to get her what she wants with the budget you provide? She can pick it out and you know she will be happy with it. Sometimes its the thought that counts, but no woman wants to be stuck with jewelry they think is ugly and they dont want to wear, no matter how thoughtful the person that gifted it to them was.

You thought you were slick, didn’t you? Rad? Tubular? Mean?

Fads come and go. Some are better than others, I am personally partial to “slick.” Fire will fade away but cool will return just like it always has.

I’ll be real, this sounds like a question a criminal would ask.

Extremely expensive to upgrade to and broadcast. Most places that broadcast NFL games still do it in 1080p instead of 4k. NFL makes a lot of money, but not enough for that.

Plus it would take excitement out of the game and players would have more information than the referees. This would lead to disappointment when a play is called or not called or a foul happens the referees didn’t see, etc. This already happens a little bit and NFL fans are heated about it, I don’t think this kind of tech is viable for football.

The sport is an experience, and part of that experience is the current way it is broadcast.

Also:

What could possibly be more American than mock battles over an inflated pig carcass with military tech shit?

This is worded in an unnecessarily rude and inflammatory manner.

When Reddit stopped supporting third party apps, some people who moved to Lemmy did use bots to try to transfer content from Reddit to Lemmy.

Unfortunately, Lemmy users are kinda like Luddites when it comes to bots and AI. They’re tools that can be very beneficial of course, but Lemmy users treat them all like they’re literally worse than Hitler despite the great value of the content they were transferring. The hate, reporting, and blocking of bots and bot accounts was so bad that most people that operated them just gave up completely, and I don’t blame them.

Look, I don’t like bots that advertise as much as the next guy, but Lemmy has a serious drought of content, even now. And I mean real, valuable knowledge content. I certainly was not and still am not opposed to bot transferring data from Reddit or forums to Lemmy. But this is where I must admit, I am a serious outlier when it comes to Lemmy user demographics.

No seriously, get a dashcam. Everyone should have a dashcam. Its probably one of the most invaluable tthings you can have installed onto your vehicle these days.

If its hovering above the lane and you can drive under it without crashing and it seems like it isn’t going to land or inte ding to land, there is no law requiring you to yield but I personally would try to switch lanes and not be directly underneath it.

If it seems like it is going to land, I would yield to it same as a plane landing on a highway, but usually highway police are there to start a traffic break after being radiod by local ATC anyway.

There is no need to put on your hazards, they can see that you have stopped. If they can’t, then it doesn’t matter since they can’t see you.

I would honestly recommend trying to leave the area as quickly and safely as you can, because if it isn’t hostile already, it will be when the army arrives.

Probably recycle the oldest ones because those people will be long dead by then.

But let’s not kid ourselves, everyone paying into SS right now is never going to get the benefit of it because it will have collapsed.

It is similar to Steam Big Picture Mode, yeah. Its got a special mode called BigBox mode, its designed to mimic console UIs. There are a lot of community made themes that change up how it looks.

You could probably use something like autohotkey or some gamepad mapper to link Chrome into LaunchBox. I have never tried it, but you can technically add any executable with a field for launch arguments.

It is great for video games. Other content can work with it but that would be more finnicky. I have successfully got movies and downloaded TV shows to appear in it but you have to set them up like emulated games. The neat part is for older content, you can actually load it up in Retroarch and gain access to Retroarch’s screen shaders like the CRT shaders, which can add a nice touch to older 4:3 content.

I have the same one. Works well for what I need it for.
