That last paragraph is art

Do you guys like Burger King? I stopped eating there a long time ago and feel no need to go back after the foot lettuce incident…

I would use Linux but I heard that it doesn’t work seamlessly with NVIDIA gaming hardware

Hard to believe. I’m surprised. They didn’t take the money and run and they actually just gave up on the game?

100% people here are much more argumentative and angry and less likely to tolerate differing opinions

I understood that reference!!!

Look at that subtle off-green gradient. The tasteful thickness of it… Oh my god, it even has ornaments…

…Because 4 rounds up to 4.5

Well since it’s slower that just means it’s being more careful and not prone to making mistakes

You’re looking out for OP. What a nice guy

ALL OF IT

This is why Linux sucks!

What really made me want to leave lemmy more than anything so far was seeing a completely negative reaction to anyone calling out the Kissinger death posts being spammed like junk mail all over the fediverse.

“What? You don’t like seeing the same post 50 times in one day? Fuck you, downvoted. I wanted this guy dead so any post gets an upvote from me”

That’s the kind of attitude that will drive users away and turn this venture into a political liquid shit puddle. We need variety. Not an echo chamber. Lemmy was quite literally unusable during that period so I stopped opening it.

Also how some people don’t want Lemmy to grow because they like the smaller community feel, while simultaneously putting off a groupthink attitude that will only shrink it more. Essentially a kind of sentiment that lemmy should be what they want, and not what’s best for the platform and majority of users overall.

Shit like this is why lemmy isn’t growing. Not everyone is a programmer Linux fanatic leftist who supports communism and wants to see spam posts about Kissinger. So if you’re one of the people who downvoted this post or got upset, take a moment to consider why people are annoyed and if this is the kind of behavior and variety that’s going to help us grow.

There’s a difference between internet user base and who’s making pull requests like above

As long as this isn’t a 40 year old man I don’t see a problem

Imagine being hired to help prevent people from fucking something up, only to fuck that thing up in your first week—not once, but twice. You’d think after the first time it wouldn’t happen again…

I wonder if there’s a way around this that we can create, instead of doing nothing or hoping google adapts.

Like a dummy instance that catalogues everything on all instances (but also links to the original posts) for the purpose of showing up on google search.

Since this instance isn’t for posting but for search engine indexing, there may be some otherwise undesirable micro-optimizations that can help improve its chances of showing up.
