I remember when reddit used to be a site where the top comment was always something interesting and insightful and sometimes even given by an expert.
But then it all became shitposts and jokes at the top level.
Then I came to Lemmy and found what felt a lot like old reddit, the top comment being something decent and thought provoking.
Took less than 6 months to just turn into reddit. Thanks for contributing to the enshittification of another site with your inaccurate but funny top comment. And now my inbox will be flooded with people who tell me not to take things too seriously and that it isn’t that big a deal.
I guarantee you within a year and a half lemmy will be worse than reddit.
And people like you will be the ones who helped make it that way.
I remember the vitriol of old reddit. I believe you are contributing to that more than helping.
Reddit was never pure in terms of discussion or kindness; I think you’ve got some heavily tinted rose glasses on. But reddit succeeded and brought you the deep, insightful discussion you crave because the enthusiasts were there. And enthusiasts are human, they are not all heartless cogs there to infodump and complain. The most knowledgeable, well-read, and well-spoken people I know are also ones to crack jokes and make their passions accessible and interesting.
If you want healthy discussion, I strongly believe you should allow at least a bit of levity and let people speak a little more freely. Chastising people for not being insightful enough will turn away plenty of the people you want to keep.
Let neckbeards and normies mingle. It’s okay to have fun.
Also worth mentioning: this is Microblog Memes. It’s in the name.
It isn’t “obviously true” and you would realise that if you considered the supposition more carefully.
His claims is that every breath you take contains faeces.
Firstly the linked studies show bacteria in the air, bacteria is a component of faeces but do not constitute faeces by themselves.
Secondly every breath? Yes outside of a chip making fab clean room. I see no evidence for faeces in the air in a reasonably clean room. Where’s the source? How are faeces being aerosolised ?
It’s implausible.
But the study outdoors that detected bacteria in American Midwest cities!!! Yea there’s zero chance those cities are near farms where they spray with fertiliser. Zero.
Enshittification is specifically a platform getting worse because it needs to shift resources to its advertisers or itself. If you think this is happening on Lemmy, I would you curious how, otherwise please do not contribute to diluting the term and making it into a synonym of “thing getting worse”
Enshittification, per the rules of english, is when you turn something into shit.
Don’t really care what Corey Doctorow wants to refer to, but he’s welcome to make up a word that doesn’t have a meaning already per the rules of the English language.
I was actually kinda disappointed when I found out that Game Theory had nothing to do with games, and was actually just math. 😩
This is why you should read Ender’s Game before you’re allowed to watch YouTube.

You are a liar and the wayback machine can prove it to anyone who searches.
Pick a year and I will prove there were always shitposters on reddit.
And there are feces particles in every breath you take in, where the important part is, is the concentration.
Compare frontpages from 2009 to 2017 and put them side by side. Which version has the highest shit density?
False. You are contributing to misinformation and are therefore a shit poster.
You have made the internet worse for your presence. Please go back to shitting up digg with your fossilised takes.
AA is an idiot, but why would you want to argue this obviously true point they’ve made?

I love when trolls like you are super obvious. Makes the decision to block you so much easier. Buh bye now.
Are you a robot in a SciFi film who just turned evil or is the massive quantity of red light coming out of your eyes just your rose tinted glasses

How dare you talk to my boy Kolanaki like that
Never talk to me or my dog again
Jokes aside, 2 days in and a 50 downvote comment seems almost impressive
Almost
