Yeah but nuking the filibuster, if that's what you're referring to, would actually be a horrible idea.

If Democrats are a majority, then they will pass anything unopposed, which would be great. Means progress and getting shit done.

But if we end up with Republican majority, we're going to be in a world of shit, very fast because they'd get the same benefits.

Voting matters. Vote trash out.

It came from Apple. /s

More lame jokes. This isn't a fucking stand up comedy community, go to Reddit for your unoriginal shit.

That's a really tired out joke now.

They want ChromeOS...on literally everything.

I think the moment for me was when they had Mark Zuckerberg himself, testify to Congress.

They didn't "grill him" as media would've liked to have you believe. The guy danced around all of Congress because they themselves didn't know a damn thing about what he was saying. Of course he wasn't penalized and got off scot-free.

Just like every other tech company. The FTC, has no teeth. The FCC, has no teeth. Congress, has no brain.

The US will welcome it with open arms. Because of course, America.

I'm content with 100MBPS myself. It's fast enough to load sites nigh instantaneously. I don't have a lot of hiccups. It downloads things reasonably well.

I would rather be on 100MBPS than the times where, I wasn't. Like I remember dial-up, 33kbps. I remember shitty ass DSL 768kbps. I remember local "broadband" of 1 ~ 5MB.

If I got anything less than 100MBPS, then I'd be discontented. The only way I'd be even more content is probably being on your level or 250MBPS at least. Why would I need gigabit connectivity? It sounds like something I'd need, if I was like a business or having multiple people around. I'm only one person though.

I'm 50/50 on it.

I don't want Lemmy to become too big to the point where it's skirting on becoming the very shithole Reddit currently is.

I'd want Lemmy to at have a healthy amount of clout where it can be it's own thing without pressure.

It is not okay to pirate just to resell to others. It is a huge red flag.

I pirate to save money and if industries are going to play hardball on making everything available.

Just because one outside source merges with another, doesn't mean you're a founder of the source that you've absorbed to. That'd be like saying Microsoft and Apple merged, so Steve Jobs is a founder of Microsoft. It doesn't work like that. He'd still be considered a founder of Apple.

That would be an honest shame. All of this fuss of moving over and for what? Just for that rush of a breeze of not being on Reddit? I wondered how many treated it as that, took a break from Reddit before hopping back onto Reddit expecting things to magically improve during the time they were gone for.

It's still a shitty place, people.

Instances don't operate like subreddits.

Yes it does.

You can't simply comment everywhere. You need certain karma levels to post in select subreddits. That's why people spam so much in AskReddit is to build karma.

Decided it needed a subscription service.

He's always Xinnie the Pooh to me

• Reddit - Shoots itself in the foot while decapitating the other because reasons
• Twitter - Shoots itself in the foot and decapitates itself
• Facebook/Instagram/Threads - Huge identity Crisis
• Telegram - Sells itself out

What a world.

No I'm not because karma doesn't affect your account on Lemmy as it would on Reddit. I can still say and do whatever I want with no restriction because my account isn't tied to karma. Like if I had been downvoted enough, posting would be a pain because of karma limits. But, I'm not weighed down by that so downvotes don't really affect me.

What it does tell me, is just there being a group of spiteful people, presumably from Reddit and maybe a of Lemmy's own. That just have too much time on their hands and again, are toxic people who refuse to see that they themselves are what's toxic but they love to put the blame on anyone else.
