oldie meme but needed to bring this back due to recent incidents 😭
And yet, you assumed an image on catbox would work on my device. Interesting.
lol. It’s just iOS, voyager, vpn, and ad blocking are not conducive to seeing hosted images.
I’m on iOS, using voyager, proton vpn, and a 3rd party ad blocker and the image loaded just fine for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A large portion of the world is experiencing political polarization. I see the same things happening on Lemmy happen on other social media websites.
The “if you don’t agree with me you must have the exact opposite opinion” approach to debate seems to be more a problem of the participants than the platform.
How can you not like waffles! That’s outrageous! I’m so triggered right now!
Pretty much every time I dare to say anything negative about Russia or China I’m swarmed with illiterate tankie lemmings who jump into the conclusion that criticising one empire automatically means supporting the other empire.
I find that people that do this are often well informed on leftist theory, but know almost no history. I guess it’s hard to accept that governing is exceptionally difficult and governments built with the best intentions are still subject to authoritarianism. Also, those governments weren’t built with the best intentions, lol.
I like cameras to capture picture
Why doesn’t @YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world just MARRY screenshots if they like them so much?
Yep that’s one of my pet peeves about the Internet. People love to try to put words in your mouth. It gets a bit tiring having to tell every one of those jabronis that I never said any of those words, and they should re-read what I did actually write instead.
If I see someone’s reply start with “So, you…” - I’m already rolling my eyes so fast that I’m time traveling back to nineteen-blackandwhite. In general, it’s an overly reductive view on the statement that misrepresents the initial comment in order to try and spark a pointless argument.
It’s exhausting.
(in b4 “so you hate reading comments then?” 😂)
e: it’s not just Lemmy to be fair - the other popular aggregator, most tabloid news sites with comments, and a lot of gaming news sites with social interaction are largely the same.
In all honesty, I’ve found a more willing group of people to discuss things with - even if a lot of the time, our platforms and views are very different. There’s a larger acceptance on Lemmy of other people’s views and their right to hold them which is super cool, every now and then though I get brought down to earth with a bump.
That’s the internet, though!
I like to insult and block these people. My fear of course, with Lemmy being so small, is I will block everyone. Then again, that’s still better than dealing with illiterate, contrarian assholes
I feel the same way, then I look at my blocklist and it’s just lemmy.ml, anime subs, 3 people, some political terms, and a bot. I also have a .world account I use when I want to view the whole Lemmy experience anyways. Tbh I still feel kinda bad about blocking .ml, there was some cool peeps on there but I just can’t deal with all the tankie drama
I use Voyager (mobile app), I have no idea if you can on desktop but I would assume so.
