  • Everything is fucking star trek, linux, and communism. The only women here are trans women.

    100% agree on this, and I guess it’s because nerds are the first ones to discover and use new tech. It also gives a sense of real community since everyone speaks the same language. But of course this means that people outside the circle will wonder what the fuck is going on. :)

    About teenagers and people attacking you, yeah, that’s how some of them are. I get comments where they intentionally misunderstand something just to be able to copy/paste some default snarky response, because that’s how they have fun feeling superior. :).

    It’s never original because they are not very bright, it’s just quotes and oneliners they saw online and now they use them because they like them. Doesn’t bother me, I just don’t respond and continue in other threads instead. I honestly just smile about it and move on. You should try it.

    You have to realize that lemmy is just entertainment and some people get entertained if they can make you upset and angry.





  • I think it’s the same echo chamber here, but it’s smaller. People block instances they don’t like, and are in favor of moderators removing controversial things, specially around communism and tankies.

    I just like that it’s not run by big tech. Just discussions, no companies or ads. I think most users are tech people.










  • Even worse when you have a bug and you cant stop trying to find it and fix it. I often have the feeling that if I stop now, I lose the entire context of what I’m doing and it’s just so hard to get started again the next day.

    I prefer to dig in until I find it, even when tired and hungry.

    I think flat earth ideas are fascinating. Guess I’m a bit nuts but I enjoy reading how they explain things. :)

    I don’t think they are more dumb than anyone else. If you ask someone random to explain how gravity keeps the water on the surface, they can’t of course. Everyone goes to a web page and looks it up.

    So I enjoy reading it. It’s just fun and interesting.
