Nobody said the US doesn't have a class system? Also the person you're responding to appears to be a kiwi, not an American.

Non-Americans making fools out of themselves while trying to casually denigrate the US is one of my favorite internet traditions. It's especially entertaining because there are plenty of valid criticisms, but people often seem to go for the most lazy, inaccurate generalizations and reveal their ignorance.

What car was he supposed to be?

It is what it is. When the app is this good, the warning doesn't matter all that much. You can tell by the activity on this community that Sync is one of the most popular apps anyway.

Btw, that's the first time I've seen the redesigned join-lemmy site and it's pretty slick imo. Not sure when they updated it, but it definitely didn't look like that when I joined 😅

This website is very helpful for finding communities and instances

You could also try the Scaled algorithm, which was recently added with the new update. It's supposed to adjust for the size of the community so that the posts from large communities don't overwhelm your feed

And you were incorrect.

I meant what I said. Most people disagree with the comment, but probably for a wide variety of reasons. It's not a singular reaction, it's multiple reactions to multiple insinuations that all happen to be questionable.

It's not your fault at all, I am also confused what exactly caused them to adopt such a hostile tone.

I have noticed that many Lemmings have a strong preference for explanations which emphasize the dysfunction of capitalism as the ultimate source of all worldly suffering. Your suggestion that even in the absence of capitalist incentives, running a modern healthcare system is still an incredibly expensive endeavor that must be funded somehow, disrupts that worldview. Thus, the hostility.

That comment somehow manages to be more divisive than the Palestinian conflict. A truly remarkable sequence of specious assertions that is guaranteed to piss off vast swathes of the population. Almost brings a tear to my eye

Why can't you blame the technology as well? It's quite literally designed to be a trivial but addicting experience. Good parents can obviously circumvent the issue, but on a societal level it's inevitable that millions of kids end up glued to electronic devices at a critical time when they should be developing other skills.
