I've unfollowed so many communities due to the overwhelming amount of political articles already. If I keep doing that there's not going to be anything left to browse soon. People are posting that stuff even on meme communities.

is there anyway I could be more disruptive to the business model?

By not using the platform. You think you're being clever but all you're doing is making them more money.

I forced myself to watch it because everyone said it was so good - it wasn't. It just never got any better. There was good scenes in it but as a whole it was boring as hell.

I watch like one or two movies a year and very few TV series. I've been watching Dexter - Original Sin now, the previous one I watched was Dexter - New Blood and few years back I watched the first season of The Last of Us but I didn't like it so I never continued with the season two. Before that I watched the Chernobyl mini series and before that Game of Thrones. Suffice to say that you can pretty much name any modern TV serie and I haven't seen it. I've never had Netflix or any other streaming service subscription.

I also don't listen to radio or have Spotify so I have no clue what the popular songs currently are and ChatGPT is the only app on my phone that's somewhat new. No games, no social media - nothing. I do occasionally play DayZ on my PC but that's a 10 year old game as well. I might very well be the most ignorant person when it comes to popular culture that you'll meet all year.

It's fake, originally posted by Intel.

Seems like the kind of post I'd expect your average showerthought-enjoyer to not mind seeing on their feed.

EDIT: I'm up for philosophical thoughts community though

I'm glad you atleast got home.

Probably in the ice bath

In my view stupidity is about how one thinks, not what they know.

Few of my customer's homes have been improved a bit. Mine not so much.

The thing you're jumping from is moving. The air masses are moving. The earth is moving. The falling object is moving. There are several factors at play here. If you were still relative to the earth at the moment you jumped from, say a hot air balloon and the fall took you 5 minutes and you were just falling straight down then you'd miss the target by around 150 kilometers.

Agreed. Lets apply that to politics too while we're at it.

Who?

I'm a general contractor and I hate that I can't do even the most basic electrical installations. Something like connecting the light for bathroom mirror. I could do it in two minutes for no extra cost to the customer, but now I need to call in a sparky instead and have them charge the customer 60 euros for doing the exact same thing I would have done. I simply just can't risk it because if something happens the insurance wont cover any of it and it's all on me. Makes me feel so stupid to tell the customer that I can't do something this basic.

Well obviously lemmygrad, hexbear and lemmy.ml but besides these usual suspects I find that the most negative encounters I've had with people from blahaj.zone and infosec.pub

It’s quite funny how the virus originated in a city with a lab studying precisely that kind of virus, yet judging by the comments, it’s considered outrageous to even suggest the possibility that it might have escaped from that lab.

Nobody is claiming with absolute certainty that it did, but it seems strange to completely dismiss the idea.

I'm counting on reaching longetivity escape velocity and never dying. I'm only half-kidding.

This is why Lemmy will never become popular with the mainstream untill these people get their shit together. No sane person wants to browse a feed like mine despite the great lenghts I go attempting to block all politics and rage bait. I can only imagine how bad it is for someone just following the most popular communities and expecting a feed similar to that of Reddit.

If you don't want to leave then I think the second best option is to keep calling out these users poisoning the platform. Just be aware that there is going to be a lot hate coming your way then. This place is filled to the brim with extremists.

For the most part I keep doing the same things while enjoying it less. Obviously I go outside less but I still do. I gear up, hop onto my bike and ride into the pitch black forrest only to realise this kind of sucks and then I just do a short trip and come back home. Then I forget that it wasn't that fun and do the same thing again tomorrow.

Absolutely not. I'll rather choose for myself which content I consume than have the government choose it for me.
