This includes Functionally EVERY state with incredibly few if any exceptions. Whens your line for when a conqueror becomes a local?

Pretty sure social norms are better now than they were back when Luddites got their name associated with being against technological progress

Yeah, but the dot com bubble didnt kill the internet entirely, and the video game bubble that prompted nintendo to create its own quality seal of approval didnt kill video games entirely. This fad, when it dies, already has useful applications and when the bubble pops, those applications will survive

So, do textiles machines not exist anymore? It doesnt sound like them burning down factories stopped the textile factories in the long run

How does using free software to play dress up with anime characters bankrupt me financially?

Which is why the term Luddite has never been more accurate than since it first started getting associated with being behind on technological progress

For me its the growing extremist stances and ragebait articles, now that its got more users, the horrendous lack of moderation is starting to show

I fail to see what part of my comment is optimistic? xD

Yeah, I know, thats why I’m finding lemmy not for me. This new rage bait every week is tiring and not adding anything to my life except stress, and once I started looking at who the moderaters were when Lemmy’d find a new thing to rave about, I found that often there was 1-3 actual moderators, which, fuck that. With reddit, the shit subs were the exception, here it feels like they ALL (FEEL being a key word here) have a tendency to dive face first into rage bait

Edit: Most of the reddit migration happened because Reddit fucked over their moderators, a lot of us were happy with well moderated discussions, and if we didnt care to have moderators, we could have just stayed with reddit after the moderators were pushed away

Bud, 6 fatalities on the high end when you’re trying to compare against gun shootings is pretty low

Ah yes, more bait articles rising to the top of Lemmy. The guy was arrested for grooming, he was sending these images to a minor. Outside of Digg, anyone have any suggestions for an alternative to Lemmy and Reddit? Lemmy’s moderation quality is shit, I think I’m starting to figure out where I lean on the success of my experimental stay with Lemmy

Edit: Oh god, I actually checked digg out after posting this and the site design makes it look like you’re actually scrolling through all of the ads at the bottom of a bulshit clickbait article

Guns are the easiest method to kill people with. A spree stabber isnt going to kill and main NEAR as many people before they are dealt with as a spree shooter will

We could also just move to space, we have the tech to start this process

It does seem to be that way. Is the internet getting more extreme and reactionary? Or are we just noticing it more?

Man, I’m starting to get real tired of Lemmy’s extreme black and white way of talking about issues

Who tf thinks the 90’s looked like the 1st picture… I WISH the 99’s looked like that!

Recently a LOT of my emails with hotmail have been getting blocked at the server level, they arent even reaching my junk mail, which makes troubleshooting why I’m not getting emails a nightmare, ESPECIALLY in this day and age if 2fA

Let us talk, dont immediately shut us up if we aren’t actively harming the discussion, let men know that their feelings are valid too but that they dont overshadow others feelings (jumping straight to that second half is NOT helpful). Let memes like this one exist without deleting them for lumping them in with the angry assholes
