Lemmy.

I more so miss that time in Mac OS software.

Comments like this one don’t deserve downvotes. Why downvote someone just sharing how they interface with downvotes?

I’m not saying anyone needs to upvote it either.

Upvotes should be shared liberally. And downvotes should have purpose beyond expressing disagreement or annoyance about differing opinion.

I find many people actually hate megathreads. They hate moderators telling them they can’t make a new post with their own take as the post. They hate that their comment gets lost in thousands of comments.

On Lemmy, if you look across communities and see redundant threads, then a megathread isn’t an answer. Megathreads are community/sub based. Not platform based. Megathreads only work if all the other threads are removed. And you can’t go around telling other communities to shut up because you made the megathread in your community.

That all said, I think megathreads do important work. Lemmy just isn’t big enough yet, maybe.

Yeah, they do slow down YouTube on purpose.

People don’t like to look at this dimension. They just like to talk about how seeking out porn is natural and normal for teens. I’ve seen a few people around Lemmy make this claim as an argument against doing anything about how we handle pornography in the modern world.

They don’t want to consider the fact that unfettered access to porn from puberty impacts how a whole class of people engage with the world, and with others. Impacts how they socialize, how hard they try in seeking out partners. Etc. It’s a deep subject that just gets dismissed for a variety of shallow reasons.

Men too :smart:

Wouldn’t this topic be more appropriate in other communities? Preaching to the choir here.

Lots of great software ideas out there. It’s always the execution, availability of resources, and the reality of capitalism getting in the way.

I wouldn’t be surprised that it was just the few things I use that didn’t care. YouTube-dl was one of them. I wouldn’t be surprised if I was living a lie, and zsh enforced what should have been normal across the board.

I’m not that aware or savvy about the structure of the terminal and what a shell even is. 😅

I was always an iOS app person. I never liked old Reddit either. Not that I like modern Reddit more. I guess I’m maybe a bit strange like that. I prefer mobile apps over old school websites for browsing text content.

Lemmy really needs to get its shit together in the UI/UX dept for the default look of an instance. Mastodon does this much better.

I can’t stand looking at Lemmy without Voyager.

I hate how I need to put URLs in quotes now that I switched to zsh. But over 2025 I finally internalized the fact that I have to.

Otherwise, as a CLI novice, I have not noticed much being different.

(macOS, I finally ran the command to migrate a year or two ago)

Why the fuck did you come back?

This isn’t new. I noticed this back in ~2001.

People are just catching up to me.

Yeah, that resonates with me.

I didn’t have any political reasons. I just grew to dislike the writing style. I became disenchanted by the style of the videos.

I’m still up for watching new Contrapoints videos.
