I’ve seen it here as long as I’ve been here, it’s the main reason why I’m not on here much anymore. First time I noticed it was when I went looking for Christian communities here and found nearly every post was getting more downvotes than upvotes. Kinda seems like there are a few on this platform who enjoy downvoting people just for being Christians - and those people outnumber those interested in actual conversation on those communities.

So why is Lemmy like this? I dunno, I can only speculate.

Looking at OP’s history, 6/7 of their posts link to Tiblur, and in one they mention owning the site. I think OP is just spamming to promote their own instance.

We need some real, serious limits on AI use and development. This is only going to get worse from here. Anyone got ideas on how we can limit AI effectively?

I often feel like my supervisors don’t respect my input or my time. I work in IT, our business is solving problems efficiently. Yet when I pitch ways to improve our methods, or when I call out dumb decisions, I get ignored.

On multiple occasions in the past couple years, my immediate supervisor has made bad calls that would lead to unnecessary work for me and my team. I point this out to him, and I am ignored. Last summer, we wasted a couple days fixing computers after an unnecessary BIOS update kept them from loading Windows. We also spent a whole day installing a firmware update on a new shipment of monitors, this update was to fix compatibility with the Mac Studio - we don’t use the Mac Studio at my work.

The most obvious Psyop ever. And it’s working. Lovely.

How much you guys wanna bet this goes nowhere but a few fines?

Meanwhile, they also renewed multiple lazy, creatively dead shows, like Big Mouth. “We’ve never cancelled a successful show”.

Inside Job.

With an enemy so blatantly evil that they attack children, we should be ashamed that we aren’t doing more to defeat Russia.

We need a mod like “not enough Musk spam” or “too many musk spam”.

I’m not a fan of using the same word to describe two very different kinds of exclusively.

Exclusivity due to platform contracts (i.e., Sony paying a developer to keep a game exclusive to PlayStation), is not the same as exclusivity you described in your comment.

Time for a Microcenter visit…

You do own your own likeness, though. So I think you probably have some right to prevent someone from making deep fakes of you.

If I understand correctly, there’s nothing about Firefox that makes ad blockers any harder to detect. What can Firefox and uBlock do to stop Google from blocking adblock users on the site?

That said, I use Firefox and uBlock myself, and I’ve yet to see YouTube stop me from using the site.

Oh, forgot to read why they’re leaving. Assumed it was a data privacy thing because Europe, but the UK isn’t like that I guess. :(

If only it didn’t take banning encryption to get rid of them.

So we’re only considering claims to land that is not possessed by the country. In that case I’d guess Argentina because Falklands.

Brazil?

You may have also seen the article shared here on Lemmy earlier that mentioned someone was publishing ai-written novels and impersonating real authors to get sales. The dead internet is spreading offline!

All at the same time? What country are you from?
