I’m impressed that you can handle that many jellyfin users

The range of sofistication in this thread is actually kind of breathtaking

I was so close to asking what the hell that thing was

maybe it’s because i’ve been watching too much of the office lately but I expected you to end this comment with:

But those reasons aren’t nefarious

Yea, no disagreement. I more am curious if the federated nature is what helps mitigate that risk, or if there is some other systemic distinction that has helped.

I also just don’t know what the others were like long-term - did they peeter out? Would I realize it if lemmy was in the same decline?

I’m not actually sure comments get sorted by vote tally by default here.

I’ve always just ignored downvotes - I know when my opinion is unpopular, I don’t see the votes as validating. I’d be fine if there were no visible votes at all

If i could do this without my wife noticing, I’d be golden.

Unfortunately, she took to lurking some reddit communities right as I was exiting

I wonder if anybody here has tried some of the other failed reddit alternatives like Voat for a long enough time to be able to speak on how lemmy has fared relative to them.

I tried a few during other reddit exoduses, and they all felt… bad. Lemmy is the first one I’ve managed to actually stay on comfortably without being tempted back to reddit.

not protest, that doesn’t work

Civil disobedience works too.

If all you do is vote then you’re a big part of the problem.

And this is why libs are made fun of for their feckless electoralism.

Try organizing and building mutual aid networks instead of just sitting on your ass and watching.

Maybe in 4 years you’ll be better prepared.

Because that explanation makes them feel better

The critique of the trolly problem isn’t that you don’t still make the choice, it’s that the outcome was predetermined before you even got there.

Leftists who are making a point of abstaining are doing so to point out that voters have no control over the trolly to begin with - that the choice is artificial because the outcomes were pre-selected by someone/something else to ensure a particular outcome, and that participating in that choice only ends up legitimizing that process.

You misunderstand, I only mean that it’s disconcerting that there may be some reason that cis-women do not find the hobby/group appealing

I was just asleep for three and I do not feel well rested.

I know ghost has a container deployment and uses activity pub

I do wonder how many within the man/woman responses are trans, too.

Idk if that survey was mainly advertised on lemmy, but i know that at least one instance that did a survey had maybe 2% woman respondents, but more than two thirds of those were transfem.

Either way, a little disconcerting. I’m not sure what to make of that or what (if anything) to do about it

Mother nature will be like ‘sloooooowwwwww dowwwwwwwn’, and you’ll say “FUCK YOU” and kick her in the face with your

You’re describing capitalism there, bud
