It absolutely is... And I'm starting to burn out of this place more everyday.

Probably accurate. That seems to have set the trend for who belongs. Of course we'd all want to keep highly objectionable material away, but I'd prefer to see some diversity of thought.

Maybe it's due to population size, but I'm beginning to feel like Lemmy is a worse echo chamber than Reddit. And yes, I have noticed the landmines and people getting overly downvoted for stating simple opinions.

I'm not so sure this is the place for me anymore. I'll stick around for now, but I may leave if something else comes along.

Bet you could buy a lot of teepees with that money and increase the curb appeal of tent cities.

I could tell them that, and they would be rightfully pissed off. In most cases, though, a disabled person can figure out this puzzle, go on with their day, and not have to pay $1,500 for the inconvenience.

Yes for OLED. Sometimes for LCD.

From what I understand, LCDs can have a resting state that will either stop light, or a resting state that will let light through. The backlight remains on, but a panel that natively blocks the light will require less power when showing black.

Depends on the resting state of the LCD.

Me like. I hope I can get my hands on one of these someday.

An El Camino is a chariot of the gods. It transcends common labels.

Damaging the car may cost the owner a significant sum to repair. The car blocking the sidewalk is definitely shitty, but mostly amounts to a minor inconvenience.

Maybe just deflate the tires or leave a strongly worded letter on the windshield instead.

When I was a kid I told everyone my neighbor was Ronald Reagan. I later learned that guy's last name was actually Segan. It was already too late, though. I'm pretty sure all the people I told were convinced that the former president lived on my culdesac.

Maybe Victoria just got her dad's rat turd story mixed up.

Can someone link this thread in that Reddit thread to show how their dissent is thriving here with open dialogue, or will that get removed?

I don't know, man. I think you could run the fediverse if you put your mind to it.

Exactly. The devs should probably just work some overtime and make this happen before it's too late!

Don't get me wrong, I'm onboard with these decentralized platforms. I'm not questioning the value of this federation system, but the potential volatility of parts of it. The concept of an ''instance' may be old, but that seems to be a new buzzword, fit for abuse.

It's not much of a concern so far. Threads are generally small enough to read through, but some (especially news) threads do get quite large.

I'm trying to downvote less here on opinions I disagree with, so I guess it would complicate this sorting idea if everyone tried to be nicer...

I'm not after everything contrarian, but Im certain many relevant details are missed when threads are top-loaded with bias.

But then I'm just going from one echo chamber to another. Ideally, I'd like to see civil discourse from all most people from different walks.

It feels like starting a new instance is the trendy thing to do, similar to creating some new crypto shitcoin a few years ago. Of course, nothing is guaranteed, but I would imagine more deeply rooted instances would generally offer more support and be less likely to disappear.

Would a smaller instance not be more likely to have weaker support, or more prone to shutting down and taking you with it?
