WAAAAAAHHHHHH they called someone out for literally encouraging rape and being a huge sexist pig sO mUcH FoR tOLerAnCe

Being a sexist piece of shit isn’t a protected a class and has nothing to do with tolerance.

I can think someone is being a dumbass without having any kind of hateful feelings towards them. Hell, I love a few morons

At this point all my dead relatives saw me go through my teenage years anyway. Nothing should shock them anymore lol

They’re built differently depending on where you live in the states and your environment. I know y’all love staying ignorant to feel superior but this one is still pretty dumb. People in Japan practically have paper walls and I don’t see you guys all up your snobby butts about that. Xenophobic turds. It would take people 10 seconds to learn why some of our houses are built the way they are but they won’t bother if they haven’t by now because they prefer the ignorance.

Why get a paycheck? Just work for free!

I get it. The amount of times that I used xD is criminal lol. I’m right there with you on the Facebook because it’s where I keep the family members that I don’t want to deal with more than like once every few months and I definitely don’t want them to have more reliable ways to contact me

What kinda boomer crap is this lmao. Millennials and xers like to act all high and mighty as if we didn’t birth the evil that is 1337 (leetspeak). Don’t forget our cringy “le so random” phase 🤢

tHe nOrWHaLe bAcONs aT miDNigHt roflcopter!!! Rofl!!!11111

Hooman, what r u doing hooman?

I can has cheezburger was peak humor for us at one point ffs. If we don’t get over ourselves and stop dunking on gen z we’re just as bad as the assholes that made all those braindead articles about avocado toast and how millennials are killing the diamond industry.

Besides, gen z is just us but raised with less false hope and American dream bullshit. The people you gotta worry about are gen alpha. Those are some feral mfers right there. They’re being raised by the internet and it shows lol

Well someone posted a bunch of screenshots that just make you look kinda goofy now

It’s kinda great though isn’t it? Reminds me of old times. Do you think we’ll relive the android vs iOS wars soon? Oh, omg… Have we done the grilled cheese vs melt thing here yet???

Whaaaat noooo. Silly. The dev should just cater to people with money or quit their source of income and be happy… Or something?

I don’t know about doing good or harm but I’ve used sync for reddit for years and years. The dev isn’t some big corporation and that’s generally enough for me. I’ll support them as long as their app has the experience that I prefer. I tried a few different apps until sync came out and I really gave them all a fair shot but none of them felt right. The fact that so many users bailed to Lemmy because Reddit broke third party apps and then turned around and got up people’s butts for using specific third party apps is kind of hilarious to me. A huge wave of users came here for sync etc and people are trying to push them away or bully them like reddit did? They might not be bullying for the same exact reason but it’s got the same vibe imo.

Feel better now?

Not every state in the US is the same so your comment is mostly based on smug ignorance anyway. It’s not paranoia if you live in a city with a lot of crime etc. You just wanted to try and feel superior. Giving me reddit vibes tbh.

I just wanted to look up blueberry waffles but I was derping hard and couldn’t remember the word for blueberries… I was an adult at that point but just imagine a kid doing that on accident iykyk 💀

Not giving your kids access to the internet at all is insane. You’re setting them up for failure by not actively teaching them how to navigate the Internet and what bs to look out for. Anyone that does this is just trying to indoctrinate their kid and prevent them from being exposed to any other ideas. The ego on parents that think they know enough to entirely prepare their kids for the world is ridiculous. Especially these days. You’re just setting them up to be behind when they’re older and they’ll resent you while they struggle to catch up.

I dunno… A lot of the newer gens didn’t have to tinker with everything to get it to work so they’re less familiar with the ins and outs of stuff. Not to say they all are because it’s silly to generalize that many people but many of them grew up with this stuff. Just like how I couldn’t tell you how a TV works or fix one but I’ve built all my own pcs. That happened naturally because I had to learn it early on to have a computer. That being said they definitely seem to be developing a unique skill set for navigating the internet and social media as a whole. I’ve noticed they’re a lot less likely to trust a generic Google search or various articles online. I guess when you’re raised around bullshit you’re gonna end up more critical of it. This is mostly about gen z of course and maybe younger millennials. Gen alpha is feral and weird we should all be worried lmao

I was more of a lurker for much of my time on Reddit but I find myself commenting and upvoting a lot more here because I genuinely want to contribute. I should probably just sack up and start actively posting on the few small communities I’d like to see grow tbh

We’re living longer and aging slower than ever before now

For whatever reason? They’re trying to DRM the internet lol. You’re certainly entitled to your opinion but there are some pretty big reasons to be mad at Google on a good day. Nobody should take that out on you but I understand the frustration. People letting things slide because it doesn’t bother them specifically until it’s too late is how everything keeps getting worse.

Ahhh. This is it. This is the good stuff. Lemmy is really coming along I missed this.
