I think this is an issue with people being offended by definitions. Slavery did “help” the economy. Was it right? No, but it did. Mexico’s drug problem helps that economy. Adolf Hitler was “effective” as a leader. He created a cultural identity for people that had none and mobilized them to a war. Ethical? Absolutely not. What he did was horrendous and the bit should include a caveat, but we need to be a little more understanding that it’s a computer; it will use the dictionary of the English language.

Almost like there should be one central hub… that’s what Reddit did right

Maybe I need to be on ml then. I feel like world is just full of the same.

Maybe it’s because the content here just isn’t as vast. I’m nkt going back to reddit for awhile, but there’s so little to see on lemmy to me. Despite numerous subscriptions, I see very few memes and far too much political content. Of that political content it’s all the same. Sometimes this place feels like a hive-mind. Not that Reddit wasn’t, but it depended on the sub. Now it’s shaped by instance and everything here just feels stale

Not even a meme…. What was google plus? I’ve had a gmail for like 15 years so I must’ve just missed it.

It’s currently the best way to sideload content. You simply download the program to a computer which acts as a server that refreshes your apps. You have to refresh once a week. Sidestore is a fork that spoofs a macbook pro and allows you to completely untether from a server. You still have to refresh once a week.

I think it’s lowered. Lifted and lowered

Going to unr*tard for a sec: Think of the most useless meme you can, the joke is so stupid it’s painfully obvious. The format is old, maybe it’s all pixelated and compressed. That’s a shitpost. It makes no sense, maybe the joke isn’t even obvious because the picture is so absurd. Maybe the joke is overplayed and this is the millionth repost

Please give me the option to turn it off though, I like swiping just as much as the next guy, but as a proud lurker I’d love it if I could swipe left anywhere and it would just take me back a page

You have my meme gallery

Amazing what a google search will do

People hated it, but this is why I was on political compass memes. Both sides were taking jabs at each other in a very wholesome environment. Gosh I hate politics now and it’s because I refuse to get enraged about it. It’s funny how when I cut politics out of my life I felt so much better. And the sad thing is that I know it’s a positive outcome for a lot of people. I’ve stopped educating myself so I’ve stopped voting.

And yes it was the users. It always was and always will be. The people that have joined lemmy or kbin or mastodon are likely of a similar mindset. That makes a hivemind. It’s already happening now, and I doubt the fediverse will make anything really change.

But I’m here for the memes and just found Reddit’s practices unethical.

What? This is about the refusal of service. I’d never want to serve a Neo-Nazi and, consequently, shouldn’t be forced to make a website for them. I also don’t want to do furry art so I’m not going to accept those kinds of commissions even though I have no hate toward that community. If you’re an atheist and hate Christians you should be able to reject their business and vice versa. If you decide you don’t want to pay Chic-fil-a for the sandwich that’s okay, you just also don’t get the sandwich

Wow… I think this monkey hammered out some Shakespeare.

Absolutely, people act like swapping over is no biggie, but there were all kinds of posts that led to obscure answers and provided such simple and pertinent information. Don’t know something, try a google then ask on reddit and someone will be either super helpful or condescending. It’s going to take a LOOOOOOOONG time for people to really swap if ever.

Ain’t that the truth. Chief pumps out updates like Assassin’s Creeds.

1000% Even for a sub dedicated exclusively to memes it’s bad. The whole point of reddit was that there was a culture of content, on discord the content is far too short-lived

I like the app okay, but Memmy certainly has its quirks. The biggest I find is seeing the preview from an earlier post in my feed on one later.
