Celebrities, no. Pets, definitely.

It sounds like you finally learned about hexbear firsthand and don’t have to rely on others’ reports on their behavior.

I agree. This is schadenfreude, not uplifting.

I wax nostalgic for the days when newsy-type articles didn’t start with “so I saw this one thing by my house” with the intent to imply a larger impact.

And fuck teslers.

It’s the internet. Everyone is an expert on everything.

What a fragile ego to need your space daddy to dampen your partner’s will and personality .

It’s cool because we killed the tree.

All hail our Lord and Savior, the great and omnipotent Cheetoh.

This is most likely his villain origin story: He tried linux making him a hacker in his mind, broke it and couldn’t fix it, the Arch forum told him to RTFM and pointed him to the wik so he reinstalled Windows and has made the entire linux community his arch nemesis.

Admitting some people aren’t savvy enough to run linux is his kryptonite.

I know it shouldn’t but your experience made me laugh. Not satire, indeed :)

I definitely wouldn’t have thought to label him terrible. Just emotionally delicate enough to not be able to handle dissenting opinions and harboring a sense of powerlessness that has made him want to create an environment where he gets to control the people that try to participate.

I can relate. I might start a “somethingsucks” community and may the Gods help anyone that tries to usurp me.

This one made me giggle. The linuxsucks dude is a trip. I would love to see a psychological workup on a person that creates a 1-person community on an ultra-niche platform and protects against other people joining to the death.

What’s the vehicle YMM?

Lemmy is too small to be a worthwhile target for musk-like campaigns. It’s usually just people escaping their echo chambers to get their rage fix. If you’re able to think for yourself, there’s really no negative impact and scrolling past is a great solution.

It’s not Voyager’s fault, Lemmy has always promoted dead and abandoned communties as “trending”. The grouping is useless and can always be safely ignored.

On desktop, I use an ad blocker to hide the div.

I absolutely love that the video summary is trying to sell me coffee. Clearly a reliable and honest news source and not just some dude hawking sponsored product while sowing division.

I think I would swap all usage of “Lemmy” for “Hexbear” in the OP as that instance is not an accurate representation of the whole of Lemmy. Perhaps choosing one of the general Lemmy instances would give a more accurate representation.
