Welcome.

You’re going to go through a bit of a withdrawal, but you can still lurk there. I quit cold turkey, didn’t lurk so I would be tempted, and wasn’t banned yet. I’m sure I would have been.

I recommend that if your all page gets light or seems inactive, play with the settings. I keep it on hot and then check active, top 6 hours, and scaled in that order. Active is really about how active the comment is, so it stays pretty consistent.

This is a much better place if you’re not conservative. We do have some bots and trolls, but they’re not a ton. They tend to do weekends. If you feel like someone is picking on you, that’s them. Just leave one comment at most, downvote and move on. Just like on reddit.

Dude, it’s not that deep. Uber has a rapey problem and they figured out that this is the cheapest way to handle it.

There are ways to transfer your settings, but I think that’s it. If you’re already there, I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

They have such a large proportion of lemmy, that’s how they can control the front page. If you get friends to join, make sure they try either another instance or maybe piefed? That way, they won’t have as much power. Try to post to other instance communities, regardless of what instance you’re on.

You probably won’t have any issues with the admin, I was watching them carefully when I was there because I they were acting wild from the get go. They were deleting my posts days later for some reason? That admin is still there. I love sh.itjust.works, but I want to try piefed.

I’m saying that competitiveness usually also comes from fear.

My point was that it’s a negative sum game, we are all competing with each other in an unhealthy manner, in which we are all poorer collectively as a result.

100% agree

Isn’t competition in the US just another way of fearing being a less than person? I’ve known healthy competitors that just compete with themselves, but it’s rare.

I check the sidewalk, lol

Hey bike riders and scooter riders who use the wrong way to go down the street, I do not look both ways when backing out of the building driveway. Be aware.

The key word is avoid, I still go to these places. Also, we don’t know who instances are ultimately ran by. Having said that, still lemmy is way better than reddit which I avoid almost completely. I can only come up with 4:

• LemmyWorld- They curate their front page and at the very least, have rogue admin
• ml - They have a trolling vibe and get angry easily
• hexbear - not federated with my instance
• maga - not federated

I’m okay with him not signing any bills.

Why aren’t they suing AI then?

And just like we don’t hear about the girls in the catholic church being abused, I’m sure we’re not hearing about the boys in the epstein/trump sex trafficking ring.

Reminder that these detainees are a mix of US citizens, legal immigrants, legal immigrants made illegal by this admin by taking away their status, and illegal immigrants. Most are law abiding and tax paying people.

And nazi, he speaks nazi too. That sieg heil in the photo didn’t happen by coincidence.

I believe all of those things you listed were much worse in the 70s

Who are the current young people’s parents? Do you think any adverse effects are biologically inherited?

You are being really dumb about this. MSG comes from beets or seaweed or other shit. A person might be allergic to beets OR seaweed. I know you think you’re being smart about this, but you’re not.

What is MSG made from? Could it be that they’re allergic to the base and that there is a threshold? I hope to fuck you aren’t a scientist and you are an amazingly shitty person.

Real jobs or AI jobs.

This will mean far fewer children are diagnosed with disabilities, but those who genuinely have a disability

You’re going to have to elaborate on what a genuine disability is there chief. Let me help you out:

• lead poisoning.
• microplastics
• plastics in general
• glyphosate (round up)
• air pollution
• mosquito spraying
• etc.

Would a phone have that many downsides? I would think that a computer would have much more. Maybe the phone companies don’t play nice? I 100% don’t know what the downsides would be.
