Steeve,

You don’t debate for the sake of the person you’re debating with, you debate for the sake of everyone reading/watching it who hasn’t formed an opinion yet

Steeve,

Can’t help but feel like most of what’s posted here is like the “old man yells at cloud” meme lol. Short form video is huge, people love it, young adults spend a ton of time on it, and most importantly it’s profitable.

But I get it, us millenials were the primary demographic on the internet for a long time, it’s a weird shift to see things that don’t cater to us pop up.

Steeve,

This is some of the cringiest boomer shit there is

Steeve,

Probably still bots, I’m the only real person on the internet

Steeve,

We’re a step away from posting minions memes around here

Steeve,

Everyone is all amped up about this and want her show to fail for “crossing picket lines”, but she didn’t go through with continuing her show during the writers strike because of the public backlash. What else do people want? What’s the point of a boycott if the boycott continues after the boycott worked? I just don’t think I agree with the whole “you have one chance to appease the internet and if you briefly step out of bounds or aren’t Keanu Reeves you’re done” attitude.

That being said they could’ve just found new, better jobs. They had the time to network.

Steeve, (edited )

Gettin real sick of the forum sliding into “but America bad too” every time there’s a post about China doing shady shit on here.

EDIT: Two days after making this comment I’m still getting replies from Chinese propaganda trolls lol. Making it easy to add to my block list I guess.

“Dangerous technology should not be open source, regardless of whether it is bio-weapons or software,” Tegmark said.

What a stupid alarmist take. The safest way for technology to operate is when people can see how it works, allowing experts who don’t just have a financial interest in it succeeding to scrutinize it openly. And it’s not like this is some magical technology that only massive corporations have access to in the first place, it’s built on top of open research.

Home Depot sells all the ingredients you need to make a substantial bomb, should we ban fertilizer and pressure cookers for non-industrial use?

Steeve,

Easy solution, don’t have any loved ones. Checkmate scam artists

The Batshit Crazy Story Of The Day Elon Musk Decided To Personally Rip Servers Out Of A Sacramento Data Center (www.techdirt.com)

Back on Christmas Eve of last year there were some reports that Elon Musk was in the process of shutting down Twitter’s Sacramento data center. In that article, a number of ex-Twitter employees wer…

Steeve,

Ok but also Elon Musk is a problem

Steeve,

Man, I hate it when people come to the gym just so they can faint on the floor. So annoying stepping around their body/corpse when I’m trying to rerack the dumbbells.

Steeve,

Apparently there’s no actual evidence to suggest cats can see them. Lame

Steeve,

I think Jordon Peterson is a giant pile of shit, but you’re being downvoted for calling out a shitty article for misrepresenting obvious sarcasm, and that’s bullshit. Misinformation is misinformation regardless of whether or not it confirms our bias, if the Fediverse community doesn’t want to learn this it has no business pointing at misinformation on other platforms like Reddit.

Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics.

I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

Steeve,

I was on Reddit since almost the beginning and I would not say it’s similar, but I also don’t think that culture exists on the internet anymore, closest thing might be tildes?

What I really miss is the intelligent conversion and actual debate in the comments. People don’t really lay out arguments anymore, complete with sources and logical conclusions. Back in the early days of Reddit you’d be downvoted and told off if you made a claim without evidence. Anecdotal evidence, speculation, and bias were called out. There were still jokes and light comment sections, but comments aiming to make a point were essays where you could actually learn something. Might sound exhausting to some, but it feels like the internet has turned into just upvoting whatever confirms your bias, whether there’s evidence of it or not. I’m sure you can find some excellent examples in the old r/bestof posts.

The content was a lot different too, the community was just a lot more scientific. Studies were posted over articles, and clickbait articles (before they were even clickbait) were called out as not having substantial content or evidence. Even studies were heavily scrutinized by identifying the bias in the methodology.

There were a lot less communties (subreddits) too, which I think lead to healthier discussion overall and less of an echo chamber effect. It was still always criticized as being a “hive mind”, but it felt less like one to me back then anyways.

I guess overall it feels like the main difference is everything nowadays is meant to radicalize you, or get a reaction out of you. Back in the day if something political or scientific was being shared it was shared with the intention of changing minds, not confirming bias.

Anyways, that’s my old person rant. I’m probably looking at it all through rose tinted nostalgia glasses, but there’s definitely been a shift in how we communicate on the internet for better or for worse.

Steeve,

Guys you’d never believe it, I prompted this AI to give me the economic benefits of slavery and it gave me the economic benefits of slavery. Crazy shit.

Why do we need child-like guardrails for fucking everything? The people that wrote this article bowl with the bumpers on.

Steeve,

Just google it you dumb piece of shit - Stack overflow user

Ah, but blue and green are on separate teams, so technically within the rules. Also there’s a red. Wait what sport is this

Steeve,

Does it feel like the news is all opinion pieces these days? All I see is “someone said something on Twitter” lately.

Steeve,

Everyone should get into woodworking, because then you can just make your own and it’ll be twice as expensive and shittier than IKEA’s version.

Steeve,

Deep Thoughts With The Deep.

I do love how the stupid comment is refuted by a purposely stupid comment that perfectly refutes the first stupid comment in the same realm of stupidity. This is gonna blow some idiots mind.

Steeve,

I’ll take things that won’t happen for $200

Man reviews Whiskey while his wife is packing her stuff and leaving him in the background (youtu.be)

Here it is. He says “Cindy and I are breaking up” - then proceeds with the review of Laphroaig 10 Year Single Malt Scotch, which he tells us has been his go-to single malt - it’s a “no compromise” Malt, he assures us.

Steeve,

You got all that from a scotch review? Damn

Steeve,

Redditors are immortal beings with very little regard for mortal human lives, and as such view stage 4 cancer as a minor inconvenience much like a slightly misaligned tile.

Steeve,

Aw man, a pre-register? I mean obviously I pre-registered, but you got me super excited for a second lol

Steeve,

Why’s everyone blaming the engineers lol, pretty sure they’re just doing what they’re told right?
