I mean it is not, by any legal definition of the word, murder.

That’s me.

Hmm, interesting. Where are you from?

Exactly. I’m a mod in a few subreddits, the biggest of which is /r/Showerthoughts. People don’t notice our existence unless we interact with them directly, and you rarely interact with users unless to ban them or to remove their content. So it is expected to be hated.

He is not denying that they are building settlemens. He just doesn’t consider it occupation. Anything for more donors, I suppose.

Alright, so you don’t acknowledge the problem, still fits the definition.

I’d hate for our discussion to be about semantics, but I’m saying that we don’t believe in the problem. If I’d say “Hey, regarding the vampire situation, you have your head in the sand, because you won’t acknowledge the problem”, it wouldn’t be an accurate statement, or correct usage of the phrase.

unwilling to recognize or acknowledge a problem or situation

I’m not saying that we are unwilling to recognize a problem, the problem itself is greatly exaggerated, or even non-existent.

Yeah I agree. I’m mostly talking about what you’ll find on Twitter and big subreddits.

And because things are so chaotic, scammers are going to have a field day with this one.

I’m almost the same as OP, but I wouldn’t call it “head in the sand”. For the past few years, the media has been exaggerating everything and creating mass hysteria. If you follow the news closely, you’ll think the world is about to end: Wars, economical depressions, climate changes, new pandemics, etc…

Stop following the news, and you won’t notice a thing. Probably the price increases, but other than that, your life is the same.

Counting Android is just lying. ChromeOS and WSL are a stretch, but you can make an argument for them.

When you reach the point of dehumanizing an entire population, you should stop and think about the amount of shit the media has filled your head with.

Changing the JWT secret does this. So instead of a button, its a line of code, making it less likely to be done by mistake.

Check the post date.

I posted this 2 years ago.

Yeah I posted this 2 years ago. The way “Active” sorting works in Lemmy, is you see the posts with recent comments. Someone commented on this, pushing it back to the front page.

HackerNews has an interesting approach: You can’t downvote comments unless you reach a certain amount of “Karma”, and you can’t downvote posts at all, you can “flag” them, meaning you think they don’t belong here. Flagging doesn’t affect the vote count, but massive flagging does make the post appear lower in the feed, and alerts mods.

This, alongside the tight moderation and zero-tolerance towards flame wars in the comments makes HackerNews one of the best places on the internet imho.

Same. For me, upvote = adding something to the conversation. That’s why I upvote most comments I come across, and rarely downvote people.

I mean sure posts about Reddit makes us seem like the bitter ex, but they are to be expected, since it’s the only thing all Lemmy users have in common: Being ex-Redditors. It will stop naturally with time.

Comparing iPhone to “Android” isn’t fair, because people conveniently compare it to the lowest end. Compare the iPhone 14 Pro Max to the S23 Ultra for example, a phone from a respected company at the same price range. And it isn’t “luck”. Just a quick Google search will give you the high-end Android devices currently.
