Ima be real everyone is kissing lemmys ass but… I mean, it feels like reddit? Which is good?
Feels no different from reddit so far lol it’s not better or worse, really
Yeah Lemmy has the user base that will dogpile you if you say something mildly upsetting
Windows 11 is the best operating system Microsoft have released in a long time, and I think it wins out on Arch Linux.
Bait used to be believable
Windows XP was the best OS ever. Then it was overtaken by any other alternative.
I never had any issues with Vista and kept it until I was forced to go to 7.
After 5 words it was already evident that you were lying
The top comment on reddit is always a stupid fucking joke or pun. Not so on lemmy. That’s the biggest difference I notice when I go back to look at reddit. On popular posts the whole first 3 threads are inane bullshit.
“I also chose this guys dead wife”…
Like the inside jokes were really good on Reddit like the switcheroo one, or the guy that always had that whole comment that ended in the wrestling scene but most of them were just repeated to death
Same culture, less exploitation by a corporation.
Here, your comment doesn’t get completely buried if you make one on a popular post. Part of that is the lack of heavy volume, of course, but I also feel like the sorting is more favorable to less upvoted comments.
New here but so far it feels like Reddit used to feel 10 years ago - a bit less populated maybe.
I find myself getting into less stupid arguments here, and it feels more active.
Main difference from reddit is that you don’t see the same joke repeated in every thread. And here if you comment something it’ll probably be read by at least a few people.
Those top posts on reddit are always karma farming bots
Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
Not so sure about the jokes. I use Arch BTW…
Disclaimer: I actually don’t. I’m too lazy these days.
Use Qwant instead:
Qwant
First I’ve heard of Quant. Got any more information? What engine it’s a front end to, who’s backing it, etc?
It’s mostly independent, and operating from France, so it’s directly under EU regulation.

I guess being free is a big selling point.

Yeah I wish qwant had a paid version. I loathe ads. And Kagi could use the competition.
Lemmy is free ; )

I believe it’s Fr€nch - servers are European based. Beyond that I know nothing.
Sorry, I meant to say when you search on reddit for it.
Oh wow, that’s a pretty significant detail.
I was wondering what search you used for those results, I tried Google, and got mainly results about Motorhead.
But now I see the main filters on your search are: Posts, Communities, comments…So pretty obvious when you know it.
Gee it’s almost like Reddit doesn’t want people going to a competetor.
Usually when there are more comments than upvotes it means that OP is getting thoroughly roasted
Nah that went away with the advent of the “proportional” scoring or whatever bullshit they called it like 10 years ago
It’s that what happened when a popular post that was ‘blowing up’ on Reddit went from 500 updoots on the front page to mediocre front-page posts regularly getting 3-4k updoots seemingly over night?
I was there, I remember the change, I can’t remember why it happened.
It was ostensibly to make it harder for advertisers to game their own posts (similar to not showing you your own posts’ scores for a set period after creation), but like everything else on that site, it’s turned into some bullshit activist mods and admins use to keep things their corporate overlords don’t like from gaining too much traction.
Thing is, I value my VPN-based privacy more than any other aspect of antisocial media… it’s beyond sketchy and worrisome that they shadowban anyone not willing to share their real identity. No thanks, CCP.
reddit went hard on the anti-vpn bans, i think most of the OF ACC have used more sophisticated methods like proxies that changes the Ip on your choice, and the device, browser fingerprinted is spoofed by a anti-detection browser. also using new(used mobile devices)
It’s so weird to read this, because other than a dork messaging me saying they were going to report me to the FBI I’ve had nothing but a lovely time on Lemmy.
Apparently there is a guy called Lemmy LMAO 🤣
do people still use google for search? when i watch my mom search for something she’ll ask any AI over google. soon reddit results will vanish from google for their paywall. so this is a good sign! the evil americans will have a hard time with massextraction of personal data from around the world. enemies of murica can research building bombs without being tracked by the neonazination. anything bas for america haa turned into something good for the world. is there any way to speed this up maybe? spez should start his paywal asap!
I’d read those, but they’re probably behind a paywall like they do with superior websites.
Wait till they hear about reddit
Why are you on Reddit, it is vile and absolutely terrible, better stay away.
lol, Lemmy is the most benign social media platform i have participated in decades
.ml and hexbear are full of rancid dogshit, on the same level of mental illness as r/conservative.
Average .world conservative when exiting the echo chamber
I don’t know if it’s funnier or sad how many .world people seethe at people they’ve never even federated with
i moved to .world from .ml because of the annoying ass tankies. it’s not what they were saying that annoyed me it was their attitude. they acted like 14 years olds that just discovered atheism and think everyone else on the Internet is Catholic.
but also, the intense defense is Russia and China was pretty dumb. i get hating America. that’s fair and valid, but to do so while pretending that these other imperialistic super powers don’t also suck is pure denialism.
Arguing that either China or Russia suck comparably as much as the US as current things stand is crazy. Most criticism of China is made-up anticommunist propaganda, criticism of Russia is often coated in russophobic tropes originating in Nazism and highly chauvinistic in nature (yes, Russia is on a downwards spiral of concerning fascist trends in government, but so is the entire west, literal Sieg Heil in US president inauguration and fascist parties in Germany and Austria).
Westerners focusing their criticism on countries doing a fraction of the evil their own countries do is simple western exceptionalism and nationalism. Neither China nor Russia have anything in their recent history remotely comparable to the genocide in Gaza, the invasion of Iraq, the carpet bombing of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Korea, the history of coups and support of fascist regimes, and the history of colonialism of the west.

i never said they were as bad as America lol. why do you have to go so far out of your way to defend two of three largest and most antagonistic countries in the world. they all suck, splitting hairs about degrees of evil isn’t worth the time.
don’t be expansionist.
don’t be imperialist.
don’t hate people for how they were born.
don’t antagonize ethnic minorities.
all three countries are failing at more than one of these right now. they all suck.
they really don’t need the help either…
Saying that Russia is on a downward spiral towards fascism is defending it?
My point isn’t that you should be defending Russia or China, my point is that there’s a very disproportionate amount of criticism of Russia/China compared to the US in the west, especially flagrant if we compare how actually harmful each of these is.
I get down voted from the .ml crowd for informing them their support of Trump, either direct or inadvertent, isn’t going to save Palestine its just going to get trans people killed and this gets me either blocked or banned. These people see an authoritarian and they can’t help but get a boner.
I’m a socialist. But I’m an anti authoritarian first.
“I am a socialist, that’s why my political activity consists on calling people who oppose genocide trump enablers”
If you oppose genocide then you’d do everything you could to prevent as much genocide as possible. Enabling Trump by not voting and encouraging others not to vote is going to get a lot of people killed. It’s going to get people put in concentration camps, deported to counties they’ve never been to and will struggle to survive in, result in the erasure of trans people, get women killed in childbirth, get people killed on the job as workers safety rights diminish, get children killed as child labor laws disappear, expand the power Russia has over Ukraine (a country they have commited genocide on before), and still get Palestinians in Gaza and the west bank murdered. It honestly makes “you” almost as bad as the fascists in my opinion. Maybe everyone who didn’t vote because of Palestine can go vacation in Gaza after Trump has built a few hotels there and see the real true work all those protest votes helped accomplish.
I’m not absolving dems for being involved in the genocide in Gaza. Their support for Zionism is obscene. But a lot more damage is going to be done now that the power is strengthening in the executive branch under trump and it’s extremely privlidged to act like a protest vote was the morally superior option.
But I’m a socialist because I also think that the means of production should be owned by the workers.
Okay I get your point but please stop using “mental illness” as an insult.
hexbear? got a link to that?
Elegant bit of trolling. Hats off.
rare case where praise to the comment gets more upvotes than the original
Where’s my vile homies at?! Let’s get freaky with some Linux and Star Trek memes.
Sorry I only argue politics
What’s worse, a pile of dog crap or a pile of kangaroo crap? I’d recon they are both shitty

If the rest of the post is: BECAUSE THEY’RE TOO LIBERAL.
Good. We don’t need anyone deterred by that. We do a fine enough job fighting amongst ourselves.
