You’ve got it backwards. Society doesn’t work without a looming threat, whether that’s an enemy or the environment.

a lot of software dev people are incredibly naive when it comes to how human beings interact and behave.

their biggest mistake is often they assume other people are chill nerds like they are…

i already have had multiple weirdos harass me on lemmy for not being leftist enough. i’ve blocked dozens now, and really kills the experience to have some crazy people go around and brigading your comments because you disagree with their political viewpoint slightly.

way too many people take the internet comments/points WAY too seriously…

to make money

because the rules only apply to bad people. good people don’t need no rules!

the elites and politicians never once in their life had the life of a normal person. that’s what. they born into their wealth and power and just think the rest of us are lazy for not being born into it.

instances are just distinct servers really.

and some of them are purpose/politics specific.

there is also more diverse content than the crap that was on here six months ago.

when 50% of the frontpage is linux memes… you’re not going to gain the interest of most new users. now it seems to be down to about 20%

so downvote most things on lemmy then?

congrats

sanctions on russia don’t ban russians from traveling.

progressive messaging sucks, that’s why. it says ‘go to therapy and be content with what little you have’

conservative messaging says ‘do this shit and you’ll get money and women’

like most Trump voters, it’s all about sounding cool and tough and being a complete idiot/pussy IRL

don’t you understand, not letting yourself be genocided is violence.

and clearly russia is only doing genocide because tehy were FORCED. not like those bad israelis.

framerates and graphics are all that matters. clearly

Nah, Mario clash was fun

my experience is that people are idiots. no matter where you go irl or on the internet. and will willfully be offended at the slightest disagreement or hint that they wont’ get their way.

‘just go somewhere else!’ - this is the same thinking that is the usa housing and immigration crisis. head in the sand nonsense, blaming other people, and then jerk yourself off about what a saint and divine patron of lemmy you are.

So are internet comments are terrorism now?

Sad to see how quick lemmy is becoming reddit. I’ve already had lots of DMs from hateful angry folks with rage problems who take words on their web browser way too seriously.

and the dumbos who go around downvoting all your comments because of one they didn’t like.

OK, let’s just make a drug to solve the problem then, no? would you take the pill?

My city has great roads and schools.

We also have a high tax rate.
