Do you not understand what that means to ethnic Koreans? It’s derived from the 1940s Japanese expressicon often used after they dressed slaves like animals to amuse themselves. The Koreans were no longer people in their eyes, they were less. Less than human, less than even beasts. They were servile dolls to be toyed with and discarded, which reflected in the Japanese refusing to use names or even the word “who.” The progenitor of your emote was often used as follows:
Never played destiny and never will, but deep rock galactic, overwatch, and baldur’s gate all have mechanics rooted in other games. After playing a few other ability-heavy shooters with slower onboarding, OW and DRG make sense.
I’ve noticed that American internal politics have been rife with good news lately. Plenty of objectionable horrifying stupidity but more good than bad.
Never doubt your ability to be influenced by propaganda. The technique that broke the internet in 2015, lying and then confirming the lie more convincingly with a second account, is still very successful today.
The overwhelming majority of users who came from Reddit seem to be 19 and lack any degree of EQ, for better and worse. It’s homogenized into the old Reddit crowd but slightly more progressive, which has perplexed me. I still prefer it here, it’s an objectively better time sink than Reddit, especially since they switched their algorithm to cater to fake stories and celebrities. When AITA comes here, I’m moving to mastodon.
Edit: you’re welcome to downvote, it doesn’t change the very noticeable inability to recognize “stallman was right”
“Now, Tom, are these bears large, hairy, homosexual men with a penchant for pulling off spiked leather outfits and absconding with the innocence of children?”
“No? Ahem, no, this is part of an environmental initiative by the parks and wildlife department. These are Kodiak grizzlies, and a few pola-“
“So- so sleepy Joe Biden can’t even understand why the queer community loves bears, Tom? Sorry, we’re out of time.”
This feels like a recurrence of the dumbassery of yesterdecade with the excitement over algorithms. AI simply is not ready for these sorts of applications. That it was put in charge of anything with any degree of gravity is already a massive failure.
Dude, it’s accounts named “boomer opinions” or “communist git” roleplaying as racists and extermination enthusiasts. I understand your point, you just lack context and a relevant point. Had you asked rather than affirmed, you might have had both.
That’s precisely why it can be frustrating to attempt to save someone the headache of engaging with a person speaking in bad faith, only to have the warning removed and to be told “don’t do that again, you’re being rude.” There are quite a few naturally occurring issues with social media, not least of which are trolls, and to hand wave them does little to improve the situation.
Look, all I’m saying is that if I see a streak of people writing dissertations in reply to a visibly disingenuous commenter, my warning might be worth keeping.
The difference between “notice me, I’m an attention-seeking asshole” and “notice me, my opinion is unpopular” can be difficult to discern, but becomes obvious with context. Most especially when you both point them out and provide the context. As an attention-seeking asshole, it’s a bit frustrating to be told that I can’t recognize someone doing what I do, but far less subtly.
I figured you were making a joke that I didn’t understand so I looked up “bozart” and found the most ridiculous site name in existence. Don’t click, it’s basically spam, but do behold the wonder that is this URL.
It’s mostly in the politics communities, for all the good that information does you. It’s incredibly blatant, though that doesn’t stop folks from biting the hook given the spectrum of people here.
There is one complaint that I have about the mods across Lemmy, they seem to be hesitant to crack down on trolling. This has, in turn, made trolling easy thanks to the audience Lemmy attracted. Love the mods here, but when someone calls out a troll, maybe don’t remove the comment calling out the troll and leave the troll alone to continue trolling. Your contribution is actively negative if you do this.
As someone whose local election ousted a literal fascist, never forget local elections, folks.
