    Ah. It used to be just someone that would say something so inflammatory or provoking that it would force interaction or responses from the people witnessing it.

    Like an obvious joke or quote of an earworm that it creates replies. Or sometimes something rude or just wrong on purpose. Modern bad actors adopting trolling tactics is not necessarily the same thing.

    You could say trolls are like onions, they have multiple coatings.

    I thought it would be a legitimate niche forum for sharing information. And reddit leaned further into trolling and bad behaviour.

    A systems purpose is what it does and this platform has not shown much outside of being a place for fights and self held superiority stroking.

    TL; DR I am mostly here for news links and B-Movie-Bananza cause it has some good recommendations. Not to interact or pretend this is more than the sum of its parts.
    Also the top communities are memes mostly so, yes? Is not jokes a minor form of trolling?






  • You have clearly never seen Order of the Black Eagle where a man gets his face run over as a stunt gone wrong. It’s low budget and they weren’t trying.

    Idiots will hurt themselves doing stunts for cheap too without the prestige. The “Big” stunts are actually usually safer as they have more people knowing what they are doing.

    Maybe we can just still give them the awards for putting their bodies on the line anyways for film making a thing that isn’t going to stop.



  • .world is full of assholes who so assume they are right I have had people there make the most rude and egotistical comments on other people from assumptions from sexual orientation to wealth to just threats that when pushed back upon they lock down their belief so hard that they state no evidence could be provided to correct them like a maga style conspiracy theorist and then the mods will delete comments from and ban only the victim as they celebrate keeping their narcissism at peak.

    Then the 3 communist communities are that kind of unwilling to waver but more on specifically calling out western authoritarianism while being extra forgiving towards eastern authoritarianism because they think it’s the only alternative and so need to forgive it and block nuance from the conversation to protect ego and faith.
    And since it’s primarily political posts that make it to All lots of users have pushed back gotten yelled at and banned from those communities from the obvious chaos of talking politics with people who only interact with their own bubbles.

    Honestly they are just the oldest communities with members who are the most devout in their faith and don’t communicate well with others. As Lemmy was basically originally a quarantine for the worst users of reddit.










  • I’m so pissed.

    $450 for the base console

    • $40 in tax
    • $60 for the proprietary memory card that only comes in 256GB
    • $70 $80 for the game ($90 with tax)
    • $30? Dollars for the hardware demo that should be included to learn the system
    • $50 for Nintendo online +
    • all the other stuff they seem to demand their customers pay and apps we have to install
    • more ways to give them money if you want the switch 2 upgrades on games you own or want to play with the hardware at all.

    This is $700-$800 just to play a couple of games.
    Every other game showed basically was not exclusive. But they didn’t even show me a reason to get the hardware in all that. No updated eShop or drawing and productivity apps like the DS. No browser or Bluetooth confirmed. In fact they confirmed that the voice chat only works with the console mic.

    Give me back a Nintendo that gives a crap and doesn’t just want money trying to make kinect 2.
