Can be a post, content, good, bad, or otherwise. Something unique to us.

Reflexively being for or against (usually against) something based on certain keywords in the title independent of the content of the article itself. It could even be good news - doesn’t matter. If it’s about the wrong thing it’s bad news.
- !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org is VERY unique both in content and in what gets posted.
- Almost everyone running Linux (or at least it seems like it 😉)
- Pretty diverse where people are at location-wise. Feels like early internet instead of services trying to bubble you into your place/content.
Im sure there are others. Looking forward to what everyone else says!
…Also Beans. Yeah didn’t expect that.
I recently posted the question “What’s an unpopular UI opinion you have?” and I think it’s interesting the spread of OSes people are talking about:
I saw that thread! I really appreciated how I disagreed with a lot of the opinions there, it felt like a thread of actually unpopular opinions
- !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org is VERY unique both in content and in what gets posted.

I believe that the unix_surrealism guy is a BSD person.
I don’t even use computers.
So NetBSD it is.
It may seem like we all run Linux, but some people run BSD too.
some also uses illumos :)
Ah yes, devil Linux.
Ill see myself out.
At some point im going to have to give it a try. I like playing around with alternative OSes for fun (like 9front, UXN, LFS, etc…).
At the end of the day bsd and linux are cousins.
I don’t always use BSD, but when I do

I dual boot because I still haven’t figured out how to game on Linux because im dumb :P
Here’s an article on where the Proton checkbox is in the Steam settings. Just now I’m playing CIV4 and I had completely forgotten to think that it probably doesn’t work on Linux. Because it does now, absolutely fine :)
(The original FFVII doesn’t, though. But that’s the only Windows game I’ve encountered to not work!)
If you use Steam, there’s an option in the settings to always enable using Proton to handle Windows games. Works very well! Many games work faster than on Windows, but sometimes there are minor bugs.
it really feels like reddit in 2009
It really does.

You must have never run into r/beansinthings or r/ooer then

The fact that most communities have a single unique moderator.
Most communities only have one user so this checks out /s
What kind of communities are you talking about?
Mostly niche interest ones. Especially when there’s multiple communities for that interest. It’s hard to point a finger at one but I think the last one I looked at was dubstep. I check the sidebar, only one mod. I check their user page, they’re only moderating one comm. The odds of them being a terminally online psycho are greatly reduced than if they’re moderating 10+ comms.
Not that comms with multiple mods are at all bad, or moderators operating a cluster of comms. It’s just not the same instant green flag as when there’s only 1-3. This is kind of why I like the current size fediverse is at. Like, I know people want it to grow but there’s something kind of nice about small communities

A much more selective user base. People are very picky in what they upvote. I feel like in the Spez pool people upvoted or downvoted and would comment a lot easier. Here people vote with 3 options. Up, down or not. Feels much more deliberate. Also means you get a lot less comments (despite there being less users), because people follow the Bambi principle more here (if you don’t have anything nice to say, say nothing at all)
AND, I think there are some fediverse issues with the various clients and the fact that language is per post setting, hindering discovery.
the fact that language is per post setting, hindering discovery.
Could you please elaborate on this a bit? It feels interesting for me, but I don’t quite see how the language setting impedes discovery.
Ah. The default UI on lemmy.world warns against unselecting ‘undefined’, saying that many posts would be removed from the feed. Dunno how it is on other instances.
I always felt on R that if you commented, most of the time, it goes down a black hole. You come into something “late” and no one sees your comment. No up/down votes at all. Which can feel very bad if you spent a lot of time on your response.
I like that “Bambi principle”. Thats a good way of putting it.
If a person asks you to provide evidence that anything bad is happening in China, you are about to get banned in that Lemmy community before you can collect or post said evidence.
I know how to not poop for 3 days.
I JUST DON’T KNOW WHY!
Beans. Not corn, but beans.
I know arch exists and is a type of linux, which is a type of computer for computer people.
I know there are a bunch of different types of linux but they all require the same socks to work right.
I know beans help corn grow.
Corn I guess?
I am using Arch, btw.
Do you have your programming socks on?
arch user here
yes
I can say Luigi Mangione all I want.
Even the idiots here are pretty smart.
Because its not easy to find for the Normie’s. Btw. The older your account is, the smarter you are.
Appreciate the compliment!
Dude did nothing wrong.

Admins and mods are no different than any part of reddit.
They will be the death of their own spaces sadly.
The mods are literally the same. The admins? That’s absurd. The admins are people who are spending their own money to provide a service to you that we all collectively own. The admins of Reddit are employees of a corporation that are paid to enhance the exploitation of their users for third parties. If you can’t see the fucking difference, you’re better off at Reddit.
So many admins here are exactly like mods. They host themselves because then they have some modicum of power and nobody is above them. They don’t host out of any altrustic or helpful desire; they host to be in charge.
I know exactly what admin Sapphic is referring to and I 100% agree with their statement.
Don’t @ me, but I soak in the drama of Best of Redditor Updates and the fediverse isn’t quite suited to sagas like that yet.
But the guy who needed to not shit for 3 days made it over there. So that feels pretty noteworthy.
It’s one of my favourite subreddits just because I like having “real” stuff to read. I was wondering recently if we should just make a community for reposting the best r/BORU posts to Lemmy? And then, assuming Lemmy gets big enough, we’ll already have a spot for posting the best of Lemmy updates too.
there’s already a !bestofredditorupdates@lemmit.online but a lot of instances block lemmit for being bot content since their whole purpose is to repost reddit content which like. bots are actually super useful for that kind of thing. A LOT of users don’t seem to understand that they personally have the power to set instance blocks for their own account. so instead they push for defeds when like. just block the instance from your settings. it’s a checkbox. it’s not complicated! Sometimes I worry that all the defeds will create little insular echo chambers when the whole point of fedi is diversity.
Two leftists with minute political differences calling each other fascists.
My outsider impression is that this is just a long-standing hard-left tradition in general. Not really specific to anything on the Fediverse.
I remember going through the list of UK socialist and/or communist political parties. Lots of tiny, fragmented groups, many of which had split off from others over various disagreements.
The phenomenon is sometimes called the Naccism of Small Differences or the Law of Triviality. It’s appears in just about any group of people to some degree. It’s a wild and weird little bit of human behavior.
I knew what this was before even clicking on it. :-)
