I think this quickly goes into bad territory.

It's very easy to be racist/sexist and then just say "It was a joke bro! Calm down!" as an example.

If you're making violent "jokes" but saying it's not real... Well sorry to say but you're actually just violent and pretending otherwise.

I'm curious, do you use this on mobile or are you talking about a desktop experience?

Personally I find more ads on something like Sync on mobile than I did on Reddit which I can block, but I am now forced to use the Reddit desktop site.

To be fair, replying with I'll skin you alive is pretty extreme/completely unnecessary.

There's reasonable discourse and then there's just "Fuck you dumb idiot" type responses which add nothing to a conversation.

I'd consider his response pretty childish/immature although a less extreme version of it makes sense.

Oh I'm surprised you got banned. I tried to argue with someone like yourself as I think it's stupid, and then they pushed some argument about how communism/socialism is the right way forward and I was being downvoted.

Thought it was just Lemmy subs being extreme left but maybe not all places are extreme.

Lemmy does draw a certain crowd unfortunately.

Lol ok.

This is getting to Y2K hype levels, and in a similar fashion, will not do anything.

I get Linux people like to fanboy/shit over Windows but surely you're tech literate enough to realize this is making a mountain from a molehill.

OP doesn't understand the difference between piracy and drm-free.

But hey, looks like the advertising is working on you to promote GOG so good on them for a successful tweet.

Who gets banned from Reddit as a whole though?

You'd have to literally be posting child porn or something.

Or is this just a conceptual argument that doesn't actually mean anything in reality?

Yep exactly this. The user friendliness and likeliness it just works is much higher for Windows.

If it doesn't work for Linux I've found it also will generally take much longer to figure out and fix.

Does this help them or hinder them though?

Isn't it possible they basically said no, and that they wanted to remain not for profit? So he quit and then they went for profit?

Doesn't really help their case...

Subtle arrogance? It seems like a completely reasonable and well thought out post. People read way too much into normal posts.

Not sure I understand tbh. Seems exactly the same?

You get banned in a reddit community you can't access it, you get banned in a lemmy community you can't access it.

I've been banned from reddit communities and can still access reddit. If you've been banned from Reddit completely you must have done some terrible shit.

In your example, you're also suggesting a transphobic person has more scope on Lemmy to continue being transphobic than on Reddit. That's not a good thing?

I am quite confused by your post tbh.

Just fly an eagle in, it'll be quicker and easier.

Yeah the ads are garbage. I might end up dumping Sync just to avoid it tbh.

Just be aware Lemmy has its own share of issues and extremist views. It's not as simple as Reddit is evil and Lemmy is good, both have their pros and cons at end of day and realistically they both probably have a role to play for people.

Sometimes it works out great (banning guns in Australia for most people), other times it's terrible (banning alcohol in America).

But in general, vapes are shit and should be banned. No issues there. This producer will soon be blocked pretty easily.

If you have any basic computer skills it's really not an issue. You can turn off pretty much anything. I can't remember the last time I saw an ad within Windows tbh.

This is just fearmongering at its worst. It's like me saying Linux is only for IT companies running servers because it's unusable for a normal person as the UI is janky and it's all code based.

PSVR - fun for a week but otherwise useless.

I'm in the same boat as you. It's a waste of time for me, but others seem to need it.

It's worth noting I have autism though. So social interactions don't do much for me.

Your comment is irrelevant to what I'm saying. Try to actually offer something of value instead of baseless nonsense.
