I think it’s a north American thing. In a lot of cultures around the world you are expected to take care of your parents, either financially or in terms of letting them live with you. Because… You know… They took care of you when you needed it the most?

It depends on if you value your time or not. That’s what you gamble in WoW. If you don’t get your drop at the end of the raid, you lost time. When a new expansion obsoletes your gear, you lost time.

Oh wait, you literally have to buy play-time to even do the raid in the first place and roll the wheel. Not to mention the (sub)time it takes to level up and gear up.

Yeah. Just because you are not pulling out your wallet at every kill doesn’t mean you aren’t gambling and losing, both time and money.

If I hit my little toe against the bed’s leg, the right word is “fuck”.

They are not jokes. People here really don’t see a problem with violence, unless it against “the bad guys”. It’s sickening.

But guys in a DeCeNtRaLiZeD social network no one is in control of what content gets posted.

Agreed. Not a big fan of military in general, but NATO probably won’t go straight to nuclear genocide, as much as some people around here seem to want that.

It sounds like you’re selling an ideology then, not a functional product.

Alright. Let’s think of a random Joe, that uses reddit. A cousin, a friend, etc. What would be the pitch for them to give this coop social network a try?

For example:

Hey Joe, I know you like Reddit, check this out…

Proof of burden falls on whoever is making the assertion.

What problem would this be solving? How would it improve on what’s already on offer? Are there any benefits to being a member or a worker, compared to a regular subscription model and a job?

These are not rethoric, I like the idea but I’m curious how it would work on more practical terms.

I thought this was some big brain 4D metaphor. XD

Have you heard of collector’s items my dude?

Bro don’t ruin the rp

Because they are behind a screen, and they see life as videogames and hyperbole.

buT mUh DeCenTrAlIZatiOn!

Not to mention the deluge of posts/comments advocating greater violence in the name of stopping violence. Honestly? I think people are just waking up to the fact that behind the techno babble and ideological propaganda, Lemmy is a social network just like any other.

The thing is they are mostly vegetarian. They don’t NEED to eat you, they just enjoy it.

That’s because it is either a bot or CharGPT generated.

“I didn’t realize I was talking to somebody else. But it shout fault for not being easily recognizable beyond the different name above your words.”

Wait you’re looking for evidence? And using logic? Sir this is Lemmy.
