I assume the right-wing propaganda planners have decided they need to counter something I said
If your in for a wild ride, you can post something like “Steam sucks”, or ask anything about “Hexbear”. If you just want positive attention, go with “What’s the best distro for…?”
Steam does suck though? It’s hard to use, and most things are better boiled/blanched or fried.
Looks like we have a noob that wouldn’t survive 10 minutes in a kitchen lobby. Everyone knows that cooking with steam preserves nutrients, enhances flavor, and retains the natural texture of food.
Seriously. This punk thinks he can have any form of serious power without steam. What a chump
A bunch are usually people disagreeing and making up situations to make themselves right… i.e., you posit that the sky appeared blue when you went outside today, the replies are: not if it’s night, not during cloudy days, etc. and at least one that sounds like they disagree but are reiterating what you just said.
I’ve made this observation before, but the funniest thing about Lemmy is that !ShowerThoughts posts elicit more controversy than !UnpopularOpinion. Like, someone posts “I love pineapple on pizza” in !ShowerThoughts, and it’s downvoted to hell with people writing long essays about how pineapple on pizza is justification for bringing back shock treatment. The same thing posted to !UnpopularOpinion brings out a mob of people saying how not unpopular an opinion that is, quoting statistics about how Hawaiian Pizza is the most popular pizza in America. It’s absolutely hilarious, and one of the few areas where the Lemmy community is truly contrarian just for contrarian’s sake.
With the exception of populations of some instances which I won’t hex by bearishly naming, and a few individually excessive dicks (or trolls, but I think most are really just assholes), the Lemmy community tends to argue in good faith, admit when they’re wrong or have had their minds changed, and are generally polite netizens in most exchanges. But !ShowerThoughts and !UnpopularOpinion just being out the contrarian in people, for some reason.
O, i know the feeling
“Windows is a good OS”
Yes, this man right here, kill him with hammers.
Now hold on, are you talking about Windows 7 and 10, or 11? These are very different things!
XP
Man, that’s just playing Russian Roulette with a ban hammer.
🤣🤣🤣
“Capitalism is a good system”
The goal is contraversial not idiotic lol
I’m too scared to check tbh. Somebody tell me if I am getting downvoted because I see 150 unreads
you kicked the .ml hornet nest, didn’t you?
here’s some ointment, now take your medicine and join the rest of the lemmies
Hornets? More like gnats or midges. Worst case, they tickle your skin a little or maybe you breath one in and cough it out onto the floor. They certainly do not sting. You can only even see them in the right light.
How do I post a photo in comments? New here due to Reddit ban.
You’re asking the wrong person. Due either to my client, or my instance, I get, like, a 20% success rate on attaching images. Most of the time I get an error.
On my client, there’s a little picture icon. When I click that, it lets me select a picture and, if the wind is blowing in the right direction and the stars align, the picture is embedded. Otherwise, I upload to catbox.moe and manually embed the URL. The markdown syntax for an embedded image is:
If you’re using voyager you can just copy and paste and it will handle it, usually, assuming your instance has image uploads enabled.
I’m on Mlem, seems easier to navigate.
I know mlem just got a new update, so I can’t comment on that BUT I can say that always come back to voyager.
It’s as close to the Apollo Reddit client as there is (as far as I’m aware)
Usually means you got featured on hexbear
what’s hexbear
If you don’t know, count yourself hella lucky and move on with your day.
Since there’s no serious answer: hexbear is a highly toxic instance that has been defederated by most other instances. However, their users will keep tabs on what’s said on other instances, and they’ll occasionally show up en masse with alt accounts to attack something that particularly enraged them.
Many of them are…not quite mentally stable.
They’re probably the single largest base of tankie support. For them, America = bad, and anyone opposed to America = good. They pretend to care about communism etc but they’re really just anti-American. Saying anything negative about China gets you instantly banned.
You are a disingenuous liar.
Go to the hexbear news megathread and you will find criticism of China:
There are many Chinese hexbear users that discuss the flaws of their country, people that are banned are those that spread misinformation.
Of course the United States = bad there is no modern equivalent to the outsourcing of death, despair, and destruction the great satan exports.
lemmy.world “preemptively defederated as a last resort” you can find their reasoning here: https://lemmy.world/post/2498330 sounds like lemmy.world wants an echo-chamber yet despite whinging about “brigades” there has never been any actual proof that brigades are organized.
hexbear defederated FROM sh.itjust.works, lemmy.ca, lemmy.blahaj.zone, programming.dev, lemmy.nz, aussie.zone because those instances were NOT moderating to the standard that hexbear places on cultivating a space for marginilzied people.
Who are you to judge the mental stability of people when you constantly project your insecurities on to those seeking a better future.
Wow, case in point.
that is the limp dickiest ‘criticism’ i’ve ever seen. please go back to your tankie instance.
no need to display your homophobia and i will stay right here. it took me minutes to easily disprove the “any criticism of China = ban” I’m sure anyone who as any intellectual curiosity will see that you are hypocritical swine that wallow in your treats to distract from your exploitation.
why are you so afraid of hexbear?
A fictional entity used by right wingers on Lemmy to victimize themselves.
Are you literally claiming hexbear doesn’t exist?
That’s a new one
I cannot see Hexbear and it has zero impact on my life.
When right wingers are wrong they like screeching about Hexbear. That is what Hexbear is for Lemmy.World users. such as ourselves.
You yourself are on Lemmy.World which begs the question why you are so obsessed with Hexbear.
When you had hex with a bear last night but can’t remember.
Immediately go to my comments to see whats getting downvoted to hell.
I just assume I said something factually wrong and now dozens of helpful people are lining up to correct me.
deleted by creator
Also, what was happening in that other site many of us used to be in so interactions between the same people talking the same points were so rare?
Bots. You never knew if you were talking to a bot.
Plus, way more assholes. Like way more.
Half the time you just have to say “Fuck Tankies” or “Vote DNC” and you’ll get 4, 10, or even 20 of the most cookie cutter responses you’ve ever seen in your life.
I know what I said, y’all’s angst feeds me.
This would all be easier if you all just agreed with me, the always correct person.
If I’m ever wrong. I delete that comment and pretend it didn’t happen. Or if someone actually makes a good counter argument I just go “meh, don’t feel like replying” and leave them unread. I do the worst crime. I’ll be 10 replies in and I won’t even downvote their last comment to let them know I read it. I’m sure it’s infuriating.
Look at all these replies! I can’t wait to tell all these internet randos how wrong they are!
How wrong am I?
It’s not my job to educate you
At least unlike reddit people aren’t directly insulting you.
We have very different lemmy experiences
