I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)

  • Still, don't conservative parties in the EU still believe in things like climate change, heathcare, workers rights, etc?

    Aren't they more isolationist (pro Russian), against immigration (hard to blame them there), and anti checks and balances (fuck that)?

  • The two party system.

    They built nonsensical coalitions to get votes, so people often find that their preferred party has positions they don't like.

    Then the primary system encourages the most extreme candidates for either party.

    Then you have intentional amplification of the assholes like MTG.

    Then you create an artificial us versus them mentality where someone on the other side is pure evil. Obviously the GOP is far and away worse at this, but it's across the spectrum.

  • That is quite true as well. Lemmy gets Russian shills on Ukraine coverage worse than Reddit though. I don't know if that would be tankies or Russian trolls.

  • I fought against the Canadian flag last time. I'm off reddit now, but will remember the good memes.

  • We're the product these companies are selling. Nothing of actual value was lost for you, but immense value was lost to them. Feels good.

  • You been referred to the reddit suicide hotline yet? I have a few times.

  • Yes they do! It's so damned nice to hear when they do that. It's just full disclosure, and they don't pull punches.

    And in the long run, it still serves the company's interest as they are still known as an NPR contributors. They're okay with the arrangement and we're all better for it.

    NPR does have some absolutely bad takes sometimes though. But I love that you know they have ethics.

  • It's why I signed up. I've been looking for an alternative. This is great so far.

    • People are getting fed up with all the useless tech in their cars — For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, wit...

  • I'd argue that the safety assistance tech is very, very good and should continue.

    Fucking touch screens for HVAC and audio controls are a menace though. How do regulatory agencies allow this?

    Then there's the fucking warning message not to look at your screen that starts every time I turn it on. 90% of the time I am not looking at the screen, so I don't realize I have to click through their warning message until I'm already driving. All they achieved is distracting me and making me look away from the road.

  • Technically I believe they were classified as employees that "donated" to the company. Nice workaround Stockton! Let's see how that holds up in court with the obvious gross negligence.
