It's not used for pushing irrelevant or spammy content. It's used to show you don't agree and push that content away from sight. At least be honest about that if you support using downvotes.

People act like they are making the thread better in some way by cleaning trash. But that's not what happens. You are just making sure opinions you don't agree with are at the bottom of the thread. Nothing noble about that. Feels good, sure.

I don't think downvoting is a good thing. The argument is always "send a message to the user without engaging" but what you are doing is discouraging those users from posting and commenting at all.

I feel like upvoting content you agree with is a better method than downvoting content you don't agree with.

But they are not conpetetive with amd at all anymore. I don't think there is any reason to buy Intel.

Well you have the right to your opinion :)

Oh... This will quickly get confusing... :)

I think this could cause a lot of confusion.

Most users on a instance just picked it for some random reason. They don't all suddenly agree with everybody else on the instance.

So if you start blocking entire instances, you now can't have any contact with anyone there. It's like refusing to talk to all Germans if you are an Italian.

It's not hard to see how this can lead to a very confusing fediverse.

Subscribe to more communities. I have like 50 of them from many different instances and it's always new content. Make sure to set filter to Last Day or Last 6 hours.

Lemmy.world is the largest instance now I believe with tons of communities so start there.

Intel dropped the ball completely, and it will take years to catch up, if they ever do again. Could be a very long time.

If you believe they will become market leader again, buy stocks now. They are dirt cheap and could double or triple the money in maybe 3 to 5 years if they somehow come back from this.

It blew my mind too the first time. All these different softwares exchanging messages and no corporation in the middle of it all. It's like how the internet was 30 years ago. It's wonderful.

That being said, you posted in the coffee community which is probably not the right one for a discussion about the wonders of the fediverse. :)

So you think we should have gender neutral memes now, or have separate sections for male and female memes where we only joke about our own gender?

How about female devs share memes about both males and females, and male devs do the same? Or is that too simple and we need to make it ridiculous? :)

God forbid a woman shares a meme about a male dev! We can't have that disaster happen...:)

Yeah I understand. I had an empty server to run it against and then it worked fine.

I had lots of issues with Nvidia and none whatsoever with amd. I had to troubleshoot sleep, set environment variables and all kinds of crap to even get Nvidia working but it was never glitch free.

Get a amd card.
