I didnt say a couple of comments. I said to some people there is no point in commenting if you agree with the majority opinion. Thus all your comments end up being disagreeing.
The study identified this behaviour as a subset of users and labeled that as trolls which could be moderated before “causing harm” thats insane to me.
Repeating bad faith talking points isnt trolling. To me its a perspective issue. What I think is bad faith talking points might be reality to another person.
You can post a comment disagreeing and not reply. Not every comment has to be seeking out “worthwhile debates”
Disagreeing isnt trolling. On reddit you see so much stuff that is so plain and agreeable its not worth adding agreeable comment #2000. So it only becomes worth commenting if you see a post where you actually have a disagreement with the majority.
Nah. What’s the Benefit of using one?
Play on small game servers at the same time every day. Eventually youll start seeing the regulars and then its just a matter or trying to break into the friend group.
Outside of that you could try discord but its like wading through a sea of shit. If youre over 25 it will be very hard to find a group that doesnt eventually end up filled with kids or everyone has gotten on with their lives.
The bots post better comments than most of their users.
Just send them a link to Lemmy.world with whatever frontend you think they’d like best.
Youre right that there are social rules saying you shouldn’t. But when you’re confident and have social skills you can break the rules.
If you trust yourself to have the social intelligence to pickup on signs of disinterest or irritation then go for it. Start with a casual chat and have 0 expectations. You’ll feel if its right to ask for their number.
If you know you dont have good social skills then just play it safe and find some mixed groups and just try make friends with as many people as possible.
Thats not censorship though. You can still say whatever you want, just dont act surprised if people dont stick around to hear it.
There’s Linux4noobs but genuine questions about linux are usually welcome in all Linux communities.
Maintaining nuclear assets and a technological advantage requires money.
Maintaining the ability to actually project power overseas requires money.
Both of these are a key part of American deterrence strategy. Its not a left/right policy to fund the military. Its about why you’re funding it and the dems were funding it for the goal of maintaining global security which is a left wing liberal idea. You can’t put your head in the sand and ignore geo politics.
You do realise that a strong military is widely agreed to be the biggest thing that deters wars. Especially between super powers.
I’m guessing you think supporting Ukraine is running on a platform of “more war”.
I didnt mean you had to try Linux. I ment we should try be optimistic about Linux since its realistically the only chance we have to get an open computing platform into the hands of humanity.
Yes, he made a video about linux that got 4 million views.

Maybe, but you may as well try. Computers are going to be a core tool for humanity for a long time so we should be able to own them.
Lenovo recently started shipping laptops with Linux at a discount. But its probably better to buy a laptop from a Linux seller so that you know the hardware compatibility is being maintained.
Wow big congratulations to the corporate ghoul who thought this up. Thanks for making our world a shittier place.
