This must be a joke

Wow what a well thought out and detailed rebuttal.

Yikes, you really can’t see the difference between cheating on your partner and telling very inappropriate jokes?

Obviously that’s different

As if they’d get rid of a weekday

I know. I still agree.

Good for you

Agreed

Unless you’re getting into a unionized one, or working strictly for yourself, game development is hell.

Violating someone’s privacy doesn’t suddenly become OK just because they’re a shitty person…

FYI you’re not going an unbiased answer to any political question on ml

Not to mention the rise of vehicle violence, running over protesters and such.

For the same reason N64 games couldn’t run on the SNES

It’s the only good way to do VR. Otherwise it’s just a gimmick.

Not the person you replied to but I also used to be a hardcore Christian conservative.

Honestly just talking to people with different viewpoints than me. Back when Reddit was decent I would troll with conservative BS to get a rise out of commenters, but occasionally people would reply with points I couldn’t refute. Making IRL friends helped a lot too. I realized people actually have nuance in their opinions and there’s a lot more gray area than I realized. Leaving religion was the last step for me. Once my identity was no longer my beliefs I was able to change them.

Its part of what scares me about the internet now, we all get locked in little echo chambers. Nobody’s viewpoints get challanged and there’s no honest debate any more. Defederated social media will only make it worse as there will be 10,000 different Lemmys, each one for an exactly specific set of beliefs that will never be questioned.

Leftist ideology is at its core about people. Even when it is wrong, it’s wrong trying to help people.

The right is just about power. The only mistakes it makes are actions that cost it power.

Marketing. Corporate leadership has decided marketing knows better software design than actual engineers.

It’s a deanonymization attack. You know which users opened the message by seeing when the unique image URL was accessed.

Talk of raising wages or organizing collectively, or not agreeing with US imperialist foreign policy gets you labelled a commie / tankie by its witch-hunting, McCarthyite majority

You’re telling me this statement is about Lemmy and not the US in general?

I hope you realize Lemmy does not represent the average American…
