Fair enough, poor fuckers don’t deserve that

Oh COME ON. This guy is actively mocking Taiwan now, too??

Damn it, Muskrat

One of the reasons I love that I’m in Germany rn. You don’t get people casually joking about Nazis then laughing it off like it’s nothing. It is literally against the law, and people treat that topic with actual respect.

They’re just going to try to make one that’s ever so slightly better, and then patent it again

There’s an app! Good to know!

Can someone please explain how to move to ecosia on an Android mobile device, but in tech-stupid-ese?

Soup, salad, or sandwich. In that order.

They have no concept of “human” or “mother”

Actually, they do. Maybe not in the words we use for it, but a cat can recognize their mother and can determine humans apart from other species. It may not be an complex psychological process of ranking them, but they recognize.

I don’t think they question it. Just like if you feed a stray cat, they will often continue to come back

“Human gives food. I stay with human.”

It was this evolutionary trait that allowed us to domesticate animals in the first place. I don’t know if they have the complex psychological capacity to question or doubt it to that level. It’s a trust bond, not a superiority one.

Rather than jump to “trauma” here (and believe me, I say this as a person with PTSD), could you elaborate on what you mean by “fear”?

Leaving reddit made me literally touch grass. Guys I went to the park today!

They like having no competition, by being friendly at first, then crushing us when we let them access our userbase. Defederate, with no second thoughts. If the Meta users want to experience the fediverse, nothing is stopping them from making a Lemmy account on any instance.

The content is facebook-oriented content. Idk if it would even really be the kind of audience that most of the fediverse would be able to sustain.

As it is, reddit was a concern for many people. Facebook? Not a chance.

Besides, large scale defederation discourages Meta from trying to weasel their way into everything like that. Don’t encourage them. They want you excited, but overlooking the massive issues.

Nah dumbass billionaires are dumbass billionaires. At least Elon is doing the work for us of taking the piss out of his reputation.

I feel like “great idea” and META don’t really belong in the same sentence

You’re inferring grey where none seems to exist

There’s always some level of grey in every situation

If everyone acted like OP

That’s the point, they don’t. No one expects this to be a behavioural standard, but shaming behaviours without understand the underlying cause of them will never change the behaviour.

People without empathy should learn some

It’s rarely anything close to that easy

I’m tapping out of this conversation. Our viewpoints are too drastically different here to have any sort of productive interaction

Okay so you took a basic statement I made and turned it into a black and white extreme. Prioritizing your NEEDS above others is crucial because if you don’t attend to your needs, you can’t be sure anyone else will. You also can’t effectively attend to the needs of others without first attending to yours.

I never said that you should act in a way that infringes on others’ needs or boundaries, but your needs are not their responsibility and their needs are not yours. Anything beyond that is the application of empathy and connection, which is important, but not something to be shamed when there is a lack of it.

In a survival situation, you cannot reasonably expect people to sacrifice themselves for the greater good. That’s just not a viable expectation. There is a grey area here in which some degree of self prioritization is necessary. Society is not a hive mind and I’m not saying “it’s all about me, fuck everyone else” but you’re also not responsible for how they feel or act. Personal accountability as well as caring for yourself.

Why advertise on reddit?

Yes.

And they wonder why they don’t have any advertiser support…

I didn’t realize I could transcribe on mobile using 3PAs until a few days before the takedown. It was frustrating and shitty, but the biggest thing that drove me away was looking at that site that told me how many shadowremovals and silent moderation I got without even realizing it, for completely innocent things. I was done.

Ngl liftoff is still really iffy about mobile transcribing on Lemmy but I’m working with/harassing to dev on that (I got a reply saying they’ll look into it and now it’s just a waiting game ig)

nANI!?
