I think the fewer number of people, compared to reddit, on Lemmy combined with the fact that it's not nearly as well known, plays a huge advantage to the quality of the comments. Not that there aren't people like that here either, but I feel like the more popular a platform, is, the more it gets filled, proportionally, with people trying to make witty, shitty, pointless remarks that are often clickkbaity and avoid actual discussion, all in the interest of just getting more imaginary points.

Also the process of "enshitification" (not a term I made up, look it up if you hadn't heard of it) has already started taking place on reddit due to its popularity.

I'm part of the problem. 85.4% of my comments are shit posts only I think are funny.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

That was cringe but I think a better reason NOT to return to reddit is the fact that they just sold out their users to an AI company that hasn't even been named.

Love. This. Comment.

This have to be bot.

Edit: thanks for the gold, stranger!

Edit2: ohh god i hate you guys.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It's probably a whole set of bots and the responses to "this needs to be a coffee mug" are some other account saying "I found one!" and that's the whole point of the comment chain. Someone has a crappy mug to sell and constructs scenarios that seem natural ish to introduce it.

Made a post on a subreddit basically saying how I had been trying to get a gameboy then scalpers jumped in and rose the price well past anything I could spend. It got some attention, basically a bunch of advice only useful for people making 8888888K a year. Then, overnight, a fuckton of mostly american scalpers spam downvoted me.

Why does it bother me that you only typed seven 8's?

I thought bots didn't swear

Yelling fuck off when the captcha appears doesn't seem to help so I guess they do

Not much worse than people constantly evangelizing Linux, whining about cars, and all the other Lemmyisms that have seeped between instances.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I'll take real engagement over bot traffic any day of the week

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

This is my new favorite phrase!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I approve! Perfectly stated.

I have gone back a while ago. Some subs are bad but most I frequent are the same as before. I now use lemmy on my phone and reddit on the PC. At least on reddit the Linux cult doesnt try to convert you everytime you say the word windows.

Have you heard of our lord and saviour Linus? You have to let Linux into your heart my child.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Linus Sebastian rules

Lol, pity he dislikes Linux.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.

Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
