This is why critical thinking is such an essential skill. So many people out there are convinced about things with bullshit arguments, just because the person talking is charismatic/confident or popular and influential.
Note: Critically thinking doesn’t mean denying everyone and everything and holding controversial beliefs in order to feel smarter than others, it often starts with admitting your very own mistakes first. Just like with other’s arguments you should be applying the same checks to your own thinking and notice your own fallacies to correct them.
People say that the devs are extreme left, though I haven’t seen anything extreme first hand, simply being communist is a very valid opinion but I guess there’s more to it. Besides politics, the project is very nice and promising, and I’ve had very useful feedback from the devs while trying to make a pull request for a new feature.
This is pretty standard in concerts, just shove your way through some people to go someplace better
Thank you, I’m tired of everyone taking this too far. I’m also hardly against authoritarian regimes of any kind, left and right, but this is a generic use open source software we’re talking about, not a political party. I support the platform and I appreciate all the devs for what they do, it’s really good software and it makes me happy as a programmer myself to see social media code that isn’t filled with bloat and spaghetti code or malicious anti privacy features
As ridiculous as it sounds, posts and inside jokes like these make a platform feel like something unique and special, it’s like our very own poop knife post
Summer does suck for its own reasons, but I’m overall much happier during summer than the winter.
Maybe it’s the sun, maybe it’s the temperature or the lack of allergies, but I’m always in a much better mood and more energetic despite getting tired from the heat.
Still haven’t found much good content on Mastodon, but I’m really liking the platform and app
I think this point has been overexaggerated a bit. Sure, the main devs might support the CCP and actively try to silence critisicm about it, but the software is open source and decentralised for exactly this purpose. Anyone can fork it and host it themselves, and users can use any other instance which allows free speech with practically no difference in user experience.
I think both Kbin and Lemmy are great software, I am using both hoping that at least one of the two ends up becoming popular

The world is pretty fucked up, it always has been and so it will continue to be.
And none of it really matters either, it’s all just a tiny flash of light in the darkness that will soon fade away to nothing.
However, here we are, living in a beautiful planet that was blessed with life, so many different plants and animals, sounds, smells and tastes, music and art, being able to talk with others, laugh, cry, love. We’re only microscopic creatures that live on the tiniest spec of dust imaginable, but to our tiny eyes there is plenty of beauty to be found. And for as long as we are able to see that beauty, there is a point to it for us, we can try our best to enjoy what we have for the little time that we have it, before we finally become one with the universe.
