Honest McDonald's ad in so many ways... Mutated chickens and fat customers.

Yeah because first of all, content had to be spread out across 562826 different communities for no reason other than that reddit had lots of communities, after growing for many many years. It started with just a few.

Then 99% of those were created on Lemmy.world, and every new user was directed to sign up at Lemmy.world.

I guess a lot of people here are younger than me and didn't experience forums, but we had like 30 forum channels. That was enough to talk about anything at all. And I believe it's the same here, it would have been enough. And then all channels would have easy to find content.

I don't think a game of baseball will solve anything. :P

Yep it's down a lot. I think it's because it's just memes and also quite hard moderation and downvotes. It feels like a reddit clone that has the exact same mindset as reddit. I get annoyed when I see people being moderated for having an opinion that is not popular.

I saw a post being locked yesterday for asking about moderation. Doesn't anyone else see the problem with that? Your channels rules are not more important than making people feel they can talk and express what's on their mind.

I hate that so much. Stop treating people like they are just resources to moderate.

I don't see much discussions. But I'm sure there is a few here and there.

It was, but it has communists on it, which is annoying to most large instance owners. So much that they don't even federate with it.

I think they are a lot more quiet. I've turned around and seen a car 5 meter away from me, and been surprised. That never happens with fuel cars.

I think if you are young, maybe there isn't a big difference since you have perfect hearing. But middle aged people lose quite a bit of that unfortunately.

He is not doing it now though. Chatting online has nothing to do with real life talking to another person.

100%. Chatting online has nothing to do with talking to people in real life. It's completely different. I have no idea who you are on the other side of this, and I don't even want to know. That's the major difference, this is just wasting time together, not building relationships.

Must be mixed feelings. But cheers, new possibilities to meet someone new.

The definition of compact has changed now I think. It's not what it used to be. I had the neo in my hand and yeah, it's quite thin and small. So it's relatively compact compared to other modern phones.

Ok, new leader in 5 minutes. What's the point?

I really like my edge 30 pro and i can't find anything better even now. It's wide enough to read text properly. All the modern phones are a lot thinner because they want to make it usable with one hand. I rather have a wider screen.
