That’s kinda funny. It’s still a barrier to entry though, as a niche, technical hobby. It’s going to get less crap than, say, a news community, which does not require monetary investment and some genuine interest to engage in.

With all due respect, a 3d printing community is going to draw extremely low levels of bullshit.

Other communities are seeing quite a bit of tomfoolery already. Personally, I do not think attracting all internet denizens equally is a sound strategy for healthy long term growth.

Just got one–a good, wide-brim, adjustable bucket hat. Shade during the sun, solid protection from the rain, comfortable, and not too difficult to make look decent, if not stylish.

Don’t get me wrong, education, housing, health care etc have all been pretty important too, but hat wins.

I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there’s something about this photoshop that makes it utterly amazing. Might be the hat.

Not a platitude, a harsh and brutal reality. Though I do agree that it is time to fight fascism. Just don’t think you can actually destroy it by fighting like this is all some fictional story with a happily-ever-after. Real life doesn’t work that way, only fiction.

Real life needs more difficult and complicated fixes.

…not wrong. Except remember that an idea cannot be genuinely destroyed, since it’s not an actual physical thing. Even if you did somehow manage to destroy it in the present day, nothing prevents people from creatively coming up with it again.

Netanyahu wants to learn this the hard way.

Find another way that doesn’t involve death, destruction and ill-fated attempts at control.

Don’t feed the low-effort trolls folks. At least make them put a shred of effort in.

It’s really just not a very good unpopular opinion post. It’s literally the mainstream position of one of our two main political parties.

Which makes it a fairly meh troll post.

Huh. I thought that’d be about that “Lay Flat” movement among certain teens in China. Guess not.

That’s what the U part of UBI is for. Otherwise you just have a BI.

Military occupations of active warzones are their own thing. Not everything bad has to be a fascist state.

So far lacks the authoritarian power structure, which is a pretty key trait of fascist regimes.

All that headline accomplished for me is getting Miley Cyrus stuck in my head… :/

Very little in its current form, I think mainly just IP address.

Depends how the eggs were cooked, really.

All I know is that if you’re very worried about being surveilled by governments, the Fediverse is the absolute last place you should want to be.

This is one of the most transparent platforms we have come up with yet. Instead of all your data only being viewable by a host company, it’s viewable and able to be analyzed by basically anyone who puts some effort in. This makes it economically worthless, can’t really sell something that everyone can already just get for themselves.

We’re all out in the open here. So, wave to all the national security agencies everyone. Hiiiii! Hope you’re all enjoying the memes!

Upvote for solid unpopular opinion post. Also a fairly entertaining rant.

Lemmy features modlogs, so you can just go check. It’s in the sidebar. Instances also have modlogs, so if admins did it, you can check that too.

Only somewhat populated one I can think of off the top of my head would be using Lemmy from a dedicated Instance like mander or maybe that solarpunk one, and sticking to the local feed.

But memes are tough to escape. The internet almost runs on memes, they’re a horrendously efficient form of communication.
