  • You are in a way. Just not only that.

  • Favourite and Bookmark are absolutely different things. They're two different lists for you to use as you see fit.
    \ Neither of them is a Like though. I'm not sure that fact is really debatable.

  • Mastodon doesn't have Likes at all.

    The star you're referring to is Favorite. Those go into your Favorite list. So you can refer back to them more easily.

  • My default is Top6Hours

  • A unified API and a single login, are two separate things.

    A single federated authentication could be a good idea. But the various federated services are different enough that they should have different APIs.

  • I do. Any questions?

  • The current version with reversed colors, is all that's needed. I wouldn't change it beyond that.

  • when I first log into Lemmy or Kbin, despite me having my settings set to show me only subscribed stuff by default, it totally ignores that setting (and what communities I’ve blocked) and just shows me the equivalent of /all

    That sounds like a problem with the browser your using. Try clearing cache, going back to default settings. See if it happens in a private window, or different browser altogether.

  • Convincing people to leave Facebook Messenger isn't that hard. Just let them know Zukerberg and everyone at Facebook can see everything they send.

    It is easier with a whole group of friends. If none of your friends known each other, you should work on that for other reasons. Groups of friends are better in general.

  • If you suppress it, letting it fester, you're right. But that's not what they're talking about.

    They're describing actually letting it go. Letting the emotions wash over you and dissipate naturally. It may look the same on the outside, but internally it's very different. It's by far the best skill for your mental health.

  • This always struck me as strange thinking.
    \ Are most people really unable to understand and use different messengers with different contexts and groups?

    Honestly I use a few myself. My job has Tiger Connect. I use Signal with all my family and friends. Then I use SMS for some companies automatic notifications. It's pretty simple and easy.

  • If you look at the lack of rights of Jews in any Muslim country, versus the fact that Muslim Israeli citizens have full rights and even leadership roles in government, it is crystal clear that Israel is the LEAST "apartheid" state in the region.

    Being better than the worst, isn't a good justification for being bad. Do you hold yourself to the standards of the worst people you know?

  • I usually just ask them, when I wan to see what my favorite people are up to.

  • Mastodon is organized around individuals. Lemmy is organized around topics.

    The Lemmy way is far superior.

  • There's no such thing as "raw" sausage. Uncooked maybe. But never raw, like carots or stake can be raw.
    \ Sausage is ground meat mixed with all sorts of spices and things. Including yes almost always sugar and salt. Without the extra spices, it's not sausage anymore. It's just ground beef, pork, turkey, venison, whatever.

  • I tend to find them funny, and entertaining.
    \ When a persons response seems far outside the norm, I know it's not about me anymore. Then I just try to enjoy the show.
    \ When they calm down, I might ask what it was really all about. Which can be constructive sometimes, or just it'll just send them into another performance. Either way is a different kind of win.

  • You care about people or you don’t.

    That's obviously and completely wrong. Everyone cares about different people to different degrees, depending on how close and well known they are. It's not at all binary. If it were, you would by flying around the world to sit at the bed side of every kid with cancer you've ever heard of, as if they were your own child.

  • I would hesitantly say it probably would. They didn't include that in the scan, but did in the self reporting questions. And found no real difference in either groups self reported empathy toward the other group.

    Furthermore, at the self-reported level, we assessed inter-group empathy levels (toward rightists vs leftists), and our results did not reveal any significant difference between the two groups, and rather moderate levels of empathy toward each other.

    That combined with the starkly increased measured of empathy for others generally, which was more pronounced than self reporting showed. It would make sense that the same pattern continued, even for the opposite associated group. I would expect rightists to be less empathetic to leftists than self-reported, and leftists to be more empathetic to rightists than self-reported.
