What about the obsessive hatred of cars and Windows?

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 58 points 1 year ago

THAT I actually enjoy

[-] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago

Not entirely correct.

It's obsessive hatred of car dependency. It's not that surprisingly many of us hate cars, it's that surprisingly many of us hate that you necessarily need a car to do anything outside of the house.

Its not neccesarily obsessive, its just those happened to be communiies commoted tonleaving the other site, ao it visually appears to be the mainstream thought.

Linux is one of the larger communties who made the jump (in general tech people are more prone to caring about privacy and control, as tech communities in general are some of the largest here on lemmy)

Heck one of the largest communities is piracy discussion.

My e-bike runs doom perfectly on arch. I don't see the problem.

linux users are of course the first to move to something like this, and the /r/fuckcars community is as well now a bit. also let's be honest, fuck cars. and fuck windows.

Lemmy June 2023: China good, Ukraine bad, US dog poop

[-] Sheeple@lemmy.world 95 points 1 year ago

Just avoid Lemmygrad and hexbear. Those are Cancer

Lemmy.ml was no different back then

[-] TrustingZebra@lemmy.one 13 points 1 year ago

Did it? lemmy.ml is still federated with those instances.

[-] StarkillerX42@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 year ago

I appreciate being federated, it gives me a chance to down vote them.

I'm fine with USA politics, because they got their hands up in everyone's asses so it affects everyone.

What bothers me more is American football. Nobody except them even plays this game but it's all over the news every time there's a major event. Same for baseball.

[-] _Sc00ter@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

You're seeing NFL on lemmy? I don't see it at all and wish I did. Where can I find it

Americans are really annoying. They ruin the internet with their ability to turn ANYTHING and EVERYTHING into American politics. Even if it's about a cat on the opposite side of the world.

My favourite is posting a comment and having someone say "you voted for Biden, didn't you?". Nah, bro, I stepped foot in your country once and was mugged at gun point. I will never be back, let alone a fucking citizen of that shit hole.

[-] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

Americans are interested in American politics. Next thing you'll tell me is Europeans are interested in European politics. I never hear about Brexit...

[-] Polar@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago

Whats your point?

Americans bring their politics into everything. "Europeans" (such a generalization), bring their politics into posts that pertain to it.

Americans being upset because Starfield has pronouns is annoying. You don't really see "Europeans", Canadians, Mexicans, etc. crying about it. Just citizens of the USA.

I can't wait for Lemmy to get big enough that I can unsub from all the big Lemmies. On Reddit I had a bunch of niche communities that were pretty nice and not political. Now all those spammers I avoided have come here too and the Lemmies aren't big enough to avoid them yet.

This is interesting because, while I make a point of making and engaging with apolitical content, I am a lesbian.

That's weird. The thing that affects all our lives (in the US): What impacts wages, rent, education, social justice, the economy, cost for higher education, student loans, retirement, gas prices, inflation, cost of housing, policing, relations with other countries...

People are talking about that! Eww...

[-] Abel@lemmy.nerdcore.social 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

pro tip

I'm not in the US

even if I was it's my right to find political debate in the internet something not worth getting into
