Yes, but it’s still way easier to pull off having multiple accounts and evading bans on lemmy
Comparing lemmy to 4chan is completely disingenuous. It has virtually no moderation by design. That’s what its whole reputation is staked on.
Discord is also a different kind of platform. You can’t read into servers you aren’t a part of, or participate in them. The dynamics there are very different, and most servers are invite only.
To me one of reddits main problems is their moderators and how overzealous they can be. I am relieved to see lemmy doesn’t give mods or site admins as much power over others, even if that causes problems from time to time. Someone else might see it differently though.
That’s not at all what I am saying. I am saying it’s easier to do moderation on more centralised platforms like Reddit, because moderators simply have more power and more tools there. The flip side of that being that it makes it easier for moderators and admins to abuse and ban people without recourse. I am not saying moderation is pointless at all, just that it’s easier with one platform than the other. There are pros and cons to both models.
I would argue being open source and decentralised are major advantages of Lemmy and are more than sufficient to justify its existence. Just that it also isn’t perfect either. There are always trade-offs to be made when designing a platform, and that’s something you should always bear in mind.
Not really, their users make alts everywhere else too. It’s also quite easy just to keep setting up new instances too.
That’s not at all what I am saying. I am saying that Gen Z aren’t as tech illiterate as people seem to think and using myself as an example.
Why are you so negative?
Point being I’ve used tech from the era before smartphones.
I struggled majorly with XDCC weirdly enough.
Most ISPs I have seen these days actually block stuff properly. DNS hacks are no longer sufficient. Luckily VPNs are cheap these days.
Weirdly enough I have never used that feature. Only found out about it after I started using Usenet and the *arr stack. Now if I want to search for something manually I use Prowlarr that allows me to search both Usenet and Bittorrent at the same time.
The rest of the time Radarr or Sonarr finds it for me.
Usenet seems to work really well, and can be surprisingly cheap. Try FrugalUsenet. If you want both VPN and Usenet then try something like Eweka. They do deals where you get both Usenet access and a cheap VPN. It’s about €105 for 15 months or €6.99 per month.
I was born in 2001. I didn’t use a smartphone until I was like 16. We grew up with regular computers too. I also grew up with Windows XP and 7, as well as playing Doom using DosBox. Then again I am a computer science graduate, so maybe not the best example.
Wayland isn’t actually a piece of software though. It’s a protocol. This isn’t like X11.
Good, laws are shit anyway. Especially copyright laws.
I guess if you don’t want it that’s fair. It is though the best way to obtain things like the hogwarts game where we don’t want to give money to the author. Not that that is my sort of game, but I have obtained copies for other people.
You could just pirate it
This sounds kinda rapey
Except that literally everyone who has empathy does selective empathy, even if not intentionally. You also can’t really form an in-group and out-group mindset without empathy. Like if there was no empathy at all bigotry wouldn’t be nearly as big.
My guy still thinks bigotry is caused by lack of empathy. It’s actually selective empathy that helps encourage bigots.
What about Lutris?
