What about the obsessive hatred of cars and Windows?
THAT I actually enjoy
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.
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
Just avoid Lemmygrad and hexbear. Those are Cancer
Lemmy.ml was no different back then
Glad it got better
Did it? lemmy.ml is still federated with those instances.
I appreciate being federated, it gives me a chance to down vote them.
But then you miss the Olympic level mental gymnastics
Olympics where everyone participating loses
Welcome to the internet
Have a look around
Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found
We've got mountains of content
Some better, some worse
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.
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.
Americans are interested in American politics. Next thing you'll tell me is Europeans are interested in European politics. I never hear about Brexit...
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.
My brother in christ you're the one who chooses their own content
This is interesting because, while I make a point of making and engaging with apolitical content, I am a lesbian.
You want to hear something spooky?
This isn't even an American election year yet.
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...
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
IDGAF
Image 1 should just have a full frame impact font reading 'linux'. Neither are ideal.
On my feed directly above and below this post are two posts from world news and they are both articles about russia.
