It’s just interesting to me how radicalized the Internet is nowadays. Any excuse to bring up a way to shit on the US is jumped at. Especially on Lemmy. I’m starting to wondering if that’s the point of Lemmy as well.

It’s not like the small communities here are surviving.

Always weird how excited people are to shoehorn blaming the US imo

I mean he’s always been like this, it’s just getting worse.

Before Donda passed, he already had the infamous “George Bush hates black people” thing and already ran up on stage at the EMAs to say he deserved the award, not the winners. I’m sure there’s plenty more documented exmaples , and in those days, the spotlight wasn’t on him 24/7.

Huh, guess I might technically live in a food dessert

low-income census tracts that are more than one mile from a supermarket in urban or suburban areas and more than 10 miles from a supermarket in rural areas.

Seems like anything could be a slur if used in an offensive context then, right?

Like, if I said “okay tomato”, you could take it as offensive it in turns tomato into a slur.

I guess I’m just thinking while typing here, but if that’s what a slur is, maybe we need a new term for contextless offensive words?

Just curious. Would saying something like “youngin” be considered a slur as well then?

I don’t have to run windows, or anything. I can run what I want.

But the people who shoehorn Linux into every conversation are also the ones who spend more time finding acceptance online rather than actually being “friends” with people IRL. Tbh, I have you coined for a stereotype I know and I apologize about that. I can’t help it. I just know mfers who talk like you are commenting so my bad if I attach opinions to you, I really don’t mean to. That’s why I’m trying to ask questions.

But you do not believe social media is manipulated then, and is just a conspiracy theory? I never accused any party of being behind the manipulations and I haven’t provided any theoretical motivations. Just wondered if you believed social media is an accurate portrayal of the populations opinions.

Also, mfers try to act superior cause they got Linux, that’s why they “get a negative reaction”. Look how you are reacting to someone just mentioning the idea of mentioning windows ha!

I agree with the sentiment that we are on a FLOSS platform, so most people are going to prefer Linux.

But the rest of that comment is silly.

Saying anything about Windows/Max doesn’t mean the commenter is fanboying.

Also, are you saying you dont believe social media was manipulated to interfere with American politics?

And the last one really cracks me up about making friends. “Aggressively fanboying” Windows or Mac doesn’t make you friends, but fanboying Linux does? You and I are definitely in different areas of CS then ha!

I think “fanboying” in general is the actual issue

You must be a car driving capitalist tankie to be hatting on this place.

jk, I definitely agree. This place is way more radicalized than Reddit, or at least it isn’t nearly as diluted by bots so it seems more prominent… Some dope people around here but I’m definitely losing hope that this place will grow into a cool place.

It’s all the same topic posts and the same hateful comments, but you can’t even find small active communities to get away from it.

At this point, I really can’t tell who’s joking around or who’s being serious in this thread.

Shits cracking me up though reading this all as serious discussion.

How do you think even/odd detectors work? A team of coders has been working on this else if for years…
