This entire thread sums up the utter misery of Lemmy.

This is called “virtue signalling”.

Filters are your friend.

Are you saying that my knowledge of how to hyperlink in HTML is going to be obsolete?!

I’ve been tempted to give Bluesky another go after it left beta, but apparently you still can’t set up feeds so they all show up in one instead of having to swipe through all of them.

It felt too much like work keeping up with things, so I gave up.

The only reason companies remove features like this is so they can add them again a few years later and say “ooh look, new feature!”.

I don’t understand people who won’t pay £5 for shipping, but will instead spend another £15 on something they don’t need so they get free shipping.

All you’ve done is lost money.

It’s part of a trend of a significant portion of the electorate feeling ignored. It’s a trend that’s happening in large parts of the West, we’re seeing it in Europe too in places like France and Germany.

Now you can argue about whether these people have a genuine grievance or not.

I am very, very, very vaccinated, but I’m still not comfortable unmasked.

I genuinely don’t understand this attitude. The vaccines work, very well in fact. Yet people are still paranoid about COVID.

Why would you be worried after being protected?

Lemmy is going to be insufferable for the next four years, isn’t it? Hysteria is already through the roof.

Thank you for being patronising, I understand it perfectly well.

I’m trying to bring a semblance of reality to the mass hysteria.

This doesn’t really make sense.

He has won because more people voted for him in a democratic election. That’s literally democracy in action.

You might not like the result (it’s frankly bizarre from an outsider’s POV), but that doesn’t mean “democracy is dead”.

We are the World Champions at it.

I dread to think what comes up if you search for those restaurants near you…

I had to queue for about 5 minutes for the EU referendum in the UK.

TCL make those NXTpaper phones, but I have no idea if they’re any good.
