A platform is as good as it's users. I left Reddit because it turned into a shithole. I'll do the same with Lemmy if that happens.
I actually like the multiple smaller communities here, it's part of the charm. If you think an instance is becoming too big just go to another one.
You can't really do that on Reddit since everyone is on the same big instance.
Also leaving Reddit is the best thing for my mental health I've done in a while
Why does the packaging need plastic though? It's absurd to me that coffe cups and stuff have to be degradable and made out of wood/carton (which is a good thing). And yet for a product where it shouldn't matter "hey let's use as much plastic as we can for this packaging".
I've been keeping SD cards in a drawer unprotected for years and I have yet to see one break.
The record and movie industry must be paying out of their asses to have this shit taught in schools.
Let's teach our kids the importance of making billionaires richer and not actual important stuff like checking facts or making a well informed decision when voting.
Absolute dystopian bullshit.
And this isn't something he considered in advance?
Our government is busy to make people pay for owning solar panels. So yeah profit is always more important and literally no government or company gives a shit about the environment.
I'm pretty sure people will start removing their solar panels here soon since no one wants to pay more for doing good.
Yeah I don't get it either. I see people moving back to Reddit because of this shit. Lemmy is already much less user friendly. Defederating over dumb shit just makes people move away again since they can't find the content they want without having ar least a couple accounts.
At some point I feel like we should just let these people conduct their own health experiments, the problem will take care of on itself. You can only try your best at educating people but if they choose to be stupid there is nothing you can do.
At this point I feel like Google wants to Intentionally kill off YouTube so they don't have to bear the cost anymore. Just another one for the Google graveyard.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Imagine being the donor and your organ goes to someone like that. It's like someone pissing on your grave (assuming the donor is dead or will die, article doesn't mention the organ).
Also the comment section from that article, holy shit what a dumpster fire.
