I find this all very irrelevant. I deleted reddit, account and all, and have never felt better. If I need to tell you you’re great more to keep people here, then I will.
I love lemmy but I was researching some home audio receivers this weekend and had to resort to Reddit. There’s just not nearly as much information on lemmy. But for some quick entertainment it’s entirely replaced Reddit for me.
Random article I found said about 26% of people in the US use adblocking services. Working on the assumption that’s reasonably accurate, that’s a pretty big chunk of ad revenue.
What platforms does chrome come as default on? I know it’s on google products like pixel, but mac and pcs still have safari and edge, right? What kind of people know enough to get a non-default browser and not enough to get adblock?
Quieter, less point’s of failure, and in many cases taking up less space. I have compressed air for dust. In the consumer sphere and almost any enthusiast sphere, air cooling > > > water cooling
Don’t use compressed air on your fans while they’re plugged into the board! It generates current that feeds into your mobo. Usually nothing bad happens but there can be problems associated with it.
I once had a PC with watercooling. It died because I was drinking with a friend and wanted to show it off. So I removed the sidepanel and my drunken self tipped the beer bottle which promptly spilled over the running mainboard. Welp, it was some form of water that killed my PC I guess.
After the big surge happened from Reddit and the anti-Reddit hate died down, a lot of people start realizing that this place sucks. It’s confusing to use, it’s polluted with Marxists and other brain dead extremists everywhere, and it’s an inferior platform compared to Reddit. There are no niche communities, there are very little non political communities, and the amount of active communities is very limited. At the end of the day, for a lot of people, their love for the community on Reddit outweighs their hate for Spez
Lemmy is a niche place. Unless you’re far left politically or you’re big on privacy like I am, there’s no real appeal to this place. The average Joe would much rather use Reddit despite its flaws. There’s nothing here for fandoms or sports or movies/shows or anything really. Outside of a few toxic political communities, some privacy/piracy/tech communities, and a bunch of mediocre meme communities… this site is as good as dead.
Well, guess everyone has to go where they’re happy. Personally, I don’t find too much to like about reddit. It’s a hypermasculine right-wing platform with the most off-putting users It’s been my displeasure to interact with. There’s some of that here, but they usually get uncomfortable and leave, which is fucking great!
Lmao just how far left do you have to be to find Reddit of all places to be right wing? Reddit is one of the most infamous left wing echo chamber. They’re not evil enough to be Marxists but calling them right wing is just straight up inaccurate.
I feel quite the opposite. Reddit is populated predominantly by far right-wingers masquerading as libertarians. Things like racism, sexism, LGBTphobia, and xenophobia run rampant on the default subs. Every single thread on r/all is filled with them, and if you report them, you’re likely to catch a ban for “abusing the report button.” I actually got an IP ban for reporting a threat against trans people. Then there are the status quo warriors who fantasize about meting out violence against anyone who doesn’t fit the norm. Then there are the pedos, pedos everywhere.
Most of the so-called “leftist” subreddits are actually right-wing neoliberal subs, r/SubredditDrama or r/AgainstHateSubreddits, for example. These are not leftists or post-leftist, but system-defending pro-state pro-hierarchical neolibs. It would take a true fascist to call these people “leftist.”
And the admins are Nazis.
I like it here because it’s more moderate. Sure, there are some awful neoliberal mods on lemmy.world, but most of the users there seem alright. I’ve never felt like I’d be banned as an anarchist or for saying things like “punch Nazis” or “punch transphobes” like I was on that other hellsite. This place is much more welcoming.
what are you on about? i can go argue about the latest seasonal anime if i want, i can go look at one person uploading little witch acadamia pictures every single day because they can, i can go find new visual novels, i can even just stare at touhou fumos.
