Honestly though, maybe this is unpopular, whatever, I'm glad there aren't as many people here that's why I like it.

We have no lack of good people, I dare say we have more good people on any one of those services then the entirety of the top pane.

We have the best people. All the geniuses say were the best. They have the worst people. It’s not even a match.

Slightly different here, when Reddit put the writing on the wall, The people with the lowest tolerance for bullshit left. The signal to noise ratio over there went way up. As the quality dropped off, we saw more waves of people coming this way.

Basically, the people that are left over there are kind of willingly swimming in filth. It's a filtering event really. Even including the bots, tankies, whatever this is, it's far less toxic over here on a thread to thread community to community basis.

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly, I just saw an opportunity for an en passant joke and couldn’t pass it.

Lack of people is genuinely nice for now as Lemmy is still lacking moderation features

I got a post removed by automod today, on lemmy.world/c/meme

I have no idea what post it was.

Theres way more helpful people here. It's a gamble if you'll ever get a reply when asking for help on reddit, but here it's almost guaranteed.

And yet if you post it in 4chan expect at least some Anons telling you that you're a "dumb frogposter".

35

You can post anything on 4chan and get insulted for it, that’s why it’s called 4chan because you’re un4chanate enough to be on it.

Theres a chance ipad babies growing up with Twitch outnumber us educated folks.

Not hearing the kind stranger line for over a year now has been wonderful.

The fediverse is still being monitored, though... Everything we comment and post here is freely available to anyone interested for any purpose.

You're not forced to link your account with your real identity in fedi.

YouTube does depending on the content you upload I had to validate my own documents with Google because a small animation I had posted had made use of copyrighted stuff, and when I went to edit it to remove the copyrighted music, it kept nagging to "validate who I am"

Its not. Everything is open. You don’t even need an account to see the content.

No, it does depend on instance admins for how it is used. Viewing Mona Lisa doesn't make every tourist its owner.

I um… what? We’re discussing privacy and external monitoring. Ownership is irrelevant. I think you might be crossing discussions, but just look at the OC.

Much of the spying on people is done for monetary gains, which would be illegal if the platform doesn't sell the rights to the content.

E.G. Reddit sold comment usage rights to OpenAI for $60,000,000 USD.

Phew! I’m so glad you told me that, because we know no company or individual ever did anything illegal. DuPont hasn’t poisoned the whole planet, and OpenAI didn’t admit stealing content is the only way their business model can work.

If they could steal everything with no repercussions then they wouldn't be paying for the data,

Pepe has been around when elon was still posing in a coat in front of a liberty sign.

and the swastika is ancient. that doesn't mean people using it in the West aren't usually dickheads.

D.. did you just compare pepe to a swastika?

Is everything ok?

Seems like an apt comparison to me. The frog has been used by hard right extremist groups almost religiously, I say let it croak.

9

yes, i did. and no, things are not ok. there's way too many outright Nazis and they love this stupid frog

The nazi symbol is always drawn in one way (卐). while the religious symbol can be drawn any direction, i usually see it the other way around (卍). could be that religious users want to distance themselves from shaved morons...

1

most of the people that use it hatefully don't know that and don't care. it's used both ways for hate, makes it really hard to differentiate.

5

Pepe might as well be Lemmy face now as widespread as it is. I see him used on steam profiles and Facebook friends who have zero connection to conservative anything. They just think he's cute and usable in millions of ways.

He is, admittedly.

lemmy.world

Dunno who frog posts more; Nazis or people larping as Nazis for the lulz

6

Stupid nazis already associated their imagem to the frog. These suckers ruins all things they touch. They are reverse Midas

1

The frog is being used by a lot of people tho. I have many friends and colleagues who use it for whatever and they're definitely not Nazi's. Not everything being used by idiots needs to be instantly banned, they don't deserve that power

1

Why is necessary associate the frog with somw kind of political ideology??
