Sounds like they are becoming worried over the growth of these networks and wants to convince the large public that they should stay away.
It's pretty much standard tactics to paint a false picture of something, and they get away with it too. I bet people will now say "mastadon, isn't that where there is child porn? No thanks".
I agree. :) Haven't played a ubisoft game for ages....
I have a friend with similar mindset and he likes Mastadon a lot more. Because there he can research which people to follow and make sure they post quality stuff. Quality over quantity. But it takes time to know who to follow. Once you have though, it can be a goldmine.
A smart way of thinking about it for sure.
I don't like competition either. Working together is always the best, or alone.
It is irrational. Just because you believe that various forms of xenophobia (writ large) are “human nature” does not make them rational. Phobias are irrational (that is ‘without reason’) by definition, and attempting to redefine a phobia from a clinical diagnosis to a justification based on your perception that people are inherently prejudiced is itself irrational.
It's not a phobia so it's not irrational. I've tried to explain the reasons above but I don't think you agree, which is fine. According to your definition, everyone who feel uncomfortable around trans people are transphobic, which is absurd to me and I strongly disagree with that.
With that logic, I am also a racist if I prefer being around people from the same skin color and culture. Then almost everyone on the planet is a racist because they don't enjoy hanging out with other cultures (like I said above, people tend to group up and be friends with other similar people).
Ever had people in your life that refuse to leave you alone? They call, they come by, they get involved in discussions... It's so frustrating and this movie made that funny. :)
I think they mean that your "default" attitude to things is "I'm better then average".
Which I think is a bit amusing. :)
Yes I can edit it, didn't mean to offend.
Sort by 6 or 12 hours is super important.
I laughed so much during this movie. Absolutely an actual funny movie if you can relate to the situation. :)
I was thinking that too. It would be a lot easier for new users if they were already subscribed to some communities so they get a feed with posts and can get started, ask questions, add or remove communities etc.
Maybe not tie it to Lemmy explorer but at least let people have some starting point.
