    Seriously the stupid rehashing of old top comments. Posted by bots. Who are commenting on a repost posted by a bot.

    Fuck me. It’s never a recycling of Reddit specific lore or history or inside jokes. Just the lowest hanging fruit. Over and over and over.

    It’s like being forced to sit through a sitcom where the actors are all robots and there’s no live audience or laugh track.



  • Dude for the last year on Reddit I could NOT get a normal feed. It was always sneaking in AITA threads. It was absurd. And then the comments were even more absurd.

    Did you see the PR company/ PR person Melissa Nathan that was caught manipulating pop culture subreddits for actors?

    Like I could tell it was off and not at all like Reddit used to work but all this makes it so apparent that the content is being driven so hard by factions and bots. It’s mostly not real people anymore doing or influencing anything.

    So glad to be on Lemmy with you :)





  • That’s how and why I joined over here. They implemented the upvote = ban policy. I got a warning. I have no idea what for because I pretty much upvote everything I read. I am pretty loose and will even upvote entire argument threads if I think the argument is worthwhile to read.

    As soon as I was warned for upvoting the wrong thing, but not told which of my thousands of upvotes were wrong, I deleted Reddit.

    Anyway, it’s nice here on Lemmy.


  • I’m very familiar with this community—they should migrate over here.

    They’re witches. Of all different types of craft. A broom is something a witch rides or flies on in popular culture.

    It’s saying that witches can survive against fascism if they band together in their covens and use their witchcraft.

    Or, more simply, if they stand together in their faith then they will survive together.

    Witches don’t actually fly on broomsticks or hit people with broomsticks. They’re just normal people. It’s slightly in jest.


  • I agree with you. It’s short sighted to give in to a separate corporation to “beat” the first. The only way to beat Reddit is to stop using it and forget about it.

    The goal should be to remove the ability for a single entity to control the public flow of discourse.

    I’m off to buy a Lemmy sticker to put on my thinkpad

    Haha it’s great because there’s always another instance where your username will be available.

    Or you can choose to be something different on each instance.

    I just came over from Reddit too. It took me a day to settle in and understand how federation worked but now it makes total sense to me.

    Start posting stuff with us welcome welcome everyone :)



  • My family has a high percentage of genetic Neanderthal ancestry. I think about my Neanderthal ancestors in passing.

    I do hold a bit of grief that I will never know them, or our Neanderthal culture, or what happened. I will never know or understand their funeral rights. And I will never be able to honor them in a way they would appreciate.

    Neanderthals only became extinct from earth a mere 40,000 years ago. But there’s new science that just dropped this week that our hybrid offspring existed and lived alongside Homosapien for much longer:

    The dating of the Lapedo Child thus expands the debate on the extent and duration of human-Neanderthal interactions. Genetic evidence suggests interbreeding began at least 49,000 years ago and continued for roughly 7,000 years. However, if the Lapedo Child, a hybrid individual, lived around 28,000 years ago, then questions arise as to whether genetic exchanges lasted longer than previously thought or whether hybrid traits appeared in later generations.

    Some of us from the East have Denisovian genetics. They became extinct only 25,000 years ago, I believe.

    Compared to all of humanoid existence— being alone as the sole humanoid species is the anomaly.

    All of time and history up until modern history Homo Sapiens shared our earth. But as far as I understand, we have no modern cultural memory or history of our interactions. Only through our modern science and forensics do we attempt to piece together our real humanoid history.

    Now we look to the stars and ask why are we all alone on this planet?

    And I can’t help but conclude the same as you: We are alone because at some point…we decided to be the only humanoids.



  • I think you’re on to something. Presidential Republics are inherently unstable. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that South Korea is facing similar issues to America and both have Presidential systems.

    After this settles if we aren’t all fighting in anarcho-capitalist communes, America might consider similar structural reform and consider a Prime Minister style of bicameralism (but they can call it President instead).

    You make a good point and it’s a hopeful one


  • They’re real and out there unfortunately.

    I have a good friend who believed his life didn’t change at all if he voted or who was in office. His house was given to him. His job is stable. He has very little needs and never left his small town.

    He didn’t start connecting how politics impacted him until I lived with him during the pandemic. It was then he started to understand more and vote.

    He’s smart otherwise and a great person who is kind to others. But he isn’t the type to look deeply into anything that isn’t immediately around him.

    I feel like a lot of people need that 1:1 coaching or they legitimately cannot connect the dots in the big picture. Or maybe they need physical community and to be surrounded by people like me who can see big picture stuff easily.

    It’s like people who can’t imagine objects in their head (aphantasia) but for the inability to connect abstract big picture concepts. Whatever that is called —that’s what these non-voters fuck it who cares people have.
