Not caring a LOT about privacy makes you a non-lemmy normie
(…)
FOSS but also no ads. And don’t harvest any data to sell either.
I genuinely don’t understand where revenue streams are meant to come from for any of this software with peoples expectations.
But honestly Lemmy is so pro piracy that it doesn’t really matter if you were to charge for your product
The internet existed for a long time prior to monetization of it. People used to do things because they were good ideas, fun, or helpful.
Revenue streams made things worse.

Don’t know. I haven’t found them yet.

Every thread against people not strictly aligning with Leftist politics will be boiled down to: “There are three types of people: reasonable people who agree with me, crazy fascists on the other side, and lily-livered wimps who can’t pick a side (and are also secretly fascists who just won’t admit it)!”
-
Anyone with passable writing skills will be downvoted because creating cogent arguments against them is hard, and heaven forbid anyone see a smart argument that doesn’t align with your views perfectly.
-
In a similar vein, people will use the downvote as a “fuck you” button without commenting or adding any value to the conversation whatsoever.
(Edit: Yes, yes. You’re all hilarious. I may not have a button to hit, but fuck you too.)
this is written like a lily-livered wimp who is anti-woke and won’t admit it
My liver may be flower-scented, but I tend to not paint situations in broad-stoke terms like “woke” that are used to dismiss valid arguments.
You can’t disprove a label (especially a vague one that someone else applies to you), however you can very much disprove points.
That sounds like some of that woke socio-commu-liberalism to me.
/s for the oblivious
Leftists famously don’t have uniform views and bitterly disagree on important topics. Some leftists aren’t reasonable in my opinion, with many non leftists having better reasoning behind their beliefs. Too many leftists are purity testing assholes, treating leftism with the same elitism that people on Lemmy treat using Linux. I hate elitism, even if you want to limit how big a community is. It’s just an unpleasant attitude.
Re: the silent downvoting: IMHO, it’s childish and worse than toadying as it’s both inherently cowardly and lacks any real effort at all. If I thought it would constructively improve the platform, I’d suggest a daily rationing of them, but what’s the point?
edit: D’awww, the chickenshits took the time to click. That’s adorable.
Many comments don’t deserve any effort beyond a downvote. Whether you like it or not, it’s how the system is designed to work.
In this case I downvoted you for being a condescending piece of shit in your edit. Otherwise I probably would have ignored you and moved on.
Sorry, kiddo, but that’s not “how the system is designed to work” (you’d know this if you actually read the community guidelines, rather than just wandering in and assuming it was Reddit 2.0), and instead is simply finding a similar fate that etymological morphology suffers at the hands of illiteracy.
Swing and a miss. Next.
You summarised my feelings far more eloquently than I managed here yesterday.
Downvote for you!!
But seriously, lemmy feels like more of an echo chamber than reddit ever did to me (which is saying a lot), maybe that’s because it’s an echo chamber for views i don’t agree with and reddit was more aligned to my thinking so I notice it more here, but dear god it’s getting harder and harder to stick around.
Don’t worry, bud, ive got your right wing right here, despite not being right wing, an american, a frequent voter, or anything…I just apparently am to people so delusional they think a canadian style rational socialist is a fascist.
I guess everyone is on the right when you’re on the absolute most extreme left.
