Thorny_Thicket,

The only times I see people like me, who prefer owning a car “shouting down” people adcovating for better public transport, is when people suggest I should get rid of my car and ride a bus instead. A good public transportation system is a net-good for everyone, and in no way inconveniences me especially if I never even use it. It’s not busses and trains I have an issue with - it’s the naive city dwellers who thinks that because they get around just fine without a car then anyone would.

Thorny_Thicket,

Why even bother responding to me if, instead of addressing what exactly you take issue with in my statement, you just immediately resort to insults?

Thorny_Thicket,

These are all porn*

I feel like /c/memes has taught us a valuable lesson today: Would it make sense to develop a feature to block a comm from our feed for a selectable unit of time (1 hour, 1 day, etc.)?

Even if we’re subscribed to them? Could a temp block exist in conjunction with a subscription? I love c/memes but holy shit no matter which sort I select by they’ve managed to overwhelm my feed.

Thorny_Thicket,

Yeah I unsubbed aswell. Sorting by all no longer seems viable option. Just need to subscribe to every even slightly interesting community and then just stick to your personal subscribed feed. I don’t want to block those communities either because I want to see memes aswell. Just not a hundred shitty ones in a row.

Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I...

Thorny_Thicket,

For porn yeah but not for anything else. Been away for as long as my lemmy account is old

Thorny_Thicket,

Agreed. And not just memes but quite shitty ones especially recently. Filling the front page with beans is worse than not posting at all

    Thorny_Thicket,

    Yeah this place needs Reddit and Elon Musk filters real bad

    What's the point of buying new phones every years?

    Other than your carrier give it for free or cheap, I don’t really see the reason why should you buy new phone. I’ve been using Redmi Note 9 for past 3 years and recently got my had on Poco F5. I don’t see the point of my ‘upgrade’. I sold it and come back to my Note 9. Gaming? Most of them are p2w or microtransaction...

    Thorny_Thicket,

    I had to wait 6 years untill someone released a device that’s atleast in some aspects better than the one I already had. If I were forced to switch every year I’d hate most of them.

    Switched from LG V20 to Galaxy XCover 6Pro
