Just to clarify, I don't think it's a problem that hatred is minimal here, and I don't just mean politics.

I feel like I very rarely see alternative opinions about anything, whether it be software, ai, news about companies, etc. it just seems like everyone universally agrees about anything with only a tiny handful of exceptions.

It makes me hesitant to believe I'm on the "correct side" and I never see any arguments from opposition. This makes me worried that I'm in some sort of echo chamber. In real life, I do see much more diverse opinions and, if I only used the fediverse for social media, would likely be weaker in defending my own since their arguments would be "new" to me.

I understand the reasons for which the fediverse has pretty collective opinion, but it does still worry me. I want to be able to see all the other people with their own thoughts (given it's respectful) on the Internet, which should be the most capable tool to do so.

I was wondering how users tend to judge what to upvote, what do downvote, and what not to vote on.

I made this comment which got me wondering what others think and do

Personally I upvote almost everything. I see upvote as "this is a good Lemmy post/comment" and downvote as "this is a bad Lemmy post/comment". Most of what I see is good. Bad things are things such as misinformation, bad faith stuff / trolling, people being mean/annoying, bad (in my opinion) takes, people being wrong/stupid about stuff, irrelevant things, etc. When I do not vote it's for one of 3 reasons: either I don't understand what it is saying, it makes a reference I don't get, or I can't determine whether it's good or bad (usually because it's unclear).

I bought a safe. wtf do I need a safe for?

Hi all,

I want to start a photo community.

I'm trying to figure out the best place..

Mastadon?

Lemmy?

This will be a lot of (hopefully) high quality images. What is the best place for this?

What about pixelfed?

I'm a bit stumped!

You can take "justifiable" to mean whatever you feel it means in this context. e.g. Morally, artistically, environmentally, etc.

A while ago I asked whether you are a do the good thing first or save it for later sort of person, like eat the best part or whatever.

Now I’m curious if it was a zombie apocalypse, would that change your calculation?

So not in daily life, but if you found something good but you know you’ll likely die soon.

Do you consume it all now (not just food, but media or friendship), or do you dole it out to yourself to make it last?

Cut out Amazon. Quit facebook and twitter. What else, though? If the mighty dollar reigns supreme, and I wanna vote with my spending, what small steps can the average person make to disrupt the patterns of the nihilistic ego tripping energy vampires who are willing to burn it all down so they can live forever?

Greetings,

I subscribe to the .....sublemmies (is there a better tern for this?) That are the main ones for subjects that interest me: Linux, privacy, .....and others, I'm sure. But they're very "high-level." How do I find the "deep cuts?"

Shill your favorite product and service. MLMs and corporate representatives need not comment.

I have deleted my LinkedIn Account after a long time of inactivity with occasionally logging in to "connect" with somebody.

I told 2 people about this, both of which were rather surprised and immediately asked me what I would do if im back to search for a new job. I got my current job through a normal job listing website and sent the application directly to the company, that was 8 years ago I don't know why that would not still be viable, but their questions still made me unsure.

Has anybody on here found a job recently? Did LinkedIn help you in a big way, do you think it would not have been possible without? Am a web developer btw.

I mean of course it does help to spread your wings a little more. But on the other hand opening LinkedIn gives me instant depression, so i think you have to value in those things as well.

EDIT:
Or if you are HR would you see it as a negative if you received an application with no existent LinkedIn account?

Hope a two part question is allowed but after mostly lurking a lot, I'm noticing that there do seem to be quite a lot of Xennials. But on the other hand, also plenty of rebellious youth.

In my mind I'm thinking that Lemmy userbase is (very broadly generalizing) dividing into people who saw internet's early days and as such, aren't scared of the slight technical hurdles to enter. They tend to be a bit worldweary but Lemmy does feel a bit more like OG internet, which they like (this is me). But also, there's younger people who are techy enough to deal with the hurdles too but see using Lemmy as a sort of an act of rebellion against the mainstream internet (which I appreciate).

That said I feel like the two clash a lot since the former tends to have fewer shits to give than the latter. As often is the case in the whole history of humanity.

Obviously there's plenty of people who don't fall into either camps, which is why I'm curious. Lemmy is small enough to have a sense that there are actual, real, individual people here, as opposed to Reddit's amorphous blob of a massive userbase most of whom seem like bots.

edit: the date isn't happening anymore. he texted me asking if we could change the venue as he realized he can't really afford that restaurant at the moment (???, why was this realization so last minute) & i told him no worries i can pay for everything. he told me no way i could ever let a girl pay, it's not fair to the girl and also "emasculating" to him. hate that attitude. called it off and cut contact. thank u, next.

So I hit this guy up on Insta, and we’ve been chatting for the past few days, calling and video calling and all that. Tonight he’s taking me out to dinner; just a date, nothing more. I talk to my parents about everything, and they told me to observe his behavior but keep an open mind.

I'd trade my car repair skill for house repair, and my musical ability for math ability. Both of those are far more useful in life. Maybe also trade my computer ability for welding or woodworking.

Out of curiosity, how much YOU time do you get in a day/week? Doesn’t have to be alone time but time doing the things you want to do and not having to concern yourself with responsibilities in the moment. Do you forfeit sleep to achieve this you time? Are you a victim of revenge bedtime procrastination?

In Dublin there was a monument locally called "The Floozie in the Jacuzzi" ("floozie" is someone promiscuous) which apparently the artist quite liked. It got moved off the main thoroughfare at some point.

Im definitely on the side that over using AI and using it commercially seems to be bad. On the other hand, it seems like a tech that has huge potential upsides. I'm not sure we can achieve a post scarcity society with all labor being done by humans. This is where I see AI becoming a massive tool. Assuming we can pair it with mechanical means of work, not strictly digital. I know it's a touchy subject but I want to hear your opinion. As always, if you're just going to tell me to read more, recommend literature.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for privacy. But between setting up the birthdate when creating my children's local account on their computers, and having to send a copy of their ID to every platform under the sun, I'd easily chose the former.

I'd even agree to a simple protocol (HTTP X-Over-18 / X-Over-21 headers?) to that.

All Linux distros keep publishing new versions: Fedora, Mint, Debian...

Yet strangely, I don't notice any change. I'm just a normie user. It seems only computer nerds understand why the new versions are "game changers"

Apart from "increased security", what is actually the point of these releases?
