Obsidian is still better at cutting than steel. Surgeons use it.

Agreed.

I’m a big Linux guy but you have to make compromises in this universe. Proton is amazing and should be the goal for most developers.

I see this sentiment a lot but I don’t see the spam on pretty much any NSFW subreddit.

Which subreddit and user?

Pornography was a very popular draw for Reddit, but posting in general helps too.

Starship Troopers the novel was very interesting. It just wasn’t the half-comedy the movie was.

Don’t forget, some of us live in developing countries where access to healthcare might not be universal, like the United States.

It’s a pretty big gamble but it sometimes pays off.

I doubt 100% of the Republicans in southern states were on board with secession before our civil war either.

A great hit? Do you mean a hit?

Wait, you’re expected to be working for 168 hours straight?

Because younger people of late feel that being good is annoying but being evil is funny, and they are beginning to vote accordingly.

Because older people are scared about things they don’t understand and are becoming increasingly selfish, convinced by people who claim simple solutions for complex issues.

Good job!

The main negative change for me switching to Lemmy is a lack of posts. This immediately fixes that and has little downside.

Never said it didn’t exist lmao

I’m not buying anything Xiaomi.

Are you sure?

I guess they had to make more room on their servers for bots and morons.

Yet.

I guess the equivalent would be creating a new account on reddit.com, as opposed to lemmy.world vs lemmy.ml etc.

Anyway, I obviously agree with your decision or I wouldn’t be here. I’m just telling you most people do not feel that way.

But you must understand that there are a potentially infinite number of instances and people have limited time to sign up for them.

So they pick one, or two, or three, that seem okay.

Then one turns out to be ran by a pedophile, so they stop using that one.

Then one turns out to be a front for tankies, so they stop using that one.

Then one turns out to [insert valid criticism of a popular instance], so they are back to account age 0 and searching for a new instance.

In the old Reddit days you’d never lose your account (or have reason to abandon it) unless you were a nazi or pedophile. I had a twelve year old account banned because someone mass reported all of my (porn) posts, many were auto-actioned, and my appeals were all auto-denied.
