Yeah, happening to me too. I think some of the comments are showing in reverse order, too, like the child before the parent.

Why would black panthers not be?

I’d say Jaguars are mainly from South and Central America. Central America is technically part of North America, but point is they’re more in the South.

No reason? McConnell works to make the lives of thousands of people worse, on purpose. The world would be better if he wasn’t in it. Seems like enough reason to me.

The slaves don’t own capital because they are the capital!

Nowhere in the definition of capitalism does it require that everyone owns capital; in fact it’s much more the opposite.

Yup. If we’re talking regulations then regulations on how much corporations can donate to politicians should be top of the list (and ideally that amount should be zero), but obviously both the politicians and the corporations like that donations are totally allowed, making it difficult to pass such things…

Regulations are indeed an important part of managing our system as it is, but they’re fundamentally a bandaid to the problems of capitalism.

You gotta catch the corporations doing a bad thing and then tell them not to do it, meanwhile they’re buying politicians to fight against you on it. And it still doesn’t stop them from committing actions that are horribly unethical and extremely damaging to our society and to the environment, they just tone it down a bit at best, or occasionally they’ll have to put a small fraction of their money into a lawsuit without actually changing their behavior.

But the system also makes it so that when people act purely selfishly for money, that it results in good outcomes for everyone.

Why do you think this??

Look at all the constant environmental disasters and harmful products that happen because corporations did the math and determined that paying a few million to lawsuits every once in a while is cheaper than being more careful. “Voting with your wallet” does not work because the big corporations undercut the competition and bombard us with advertising to ensure they will win no matter what.

Hell, most of us are on here because Reddit started doing scummy things in the name of money, and we’re a tiny fraction of their userbase; Reddit is still unfortunately doing pretty much fine. Is that the best outcome for everyone?

And don’t forget that there are a lot of regulations passed in the last hundred years that were necessary because corporations were doing stuff like dumping so many chemicals into our waterways that rivers would constantly catch fire. This is what happens with unfettered capitalism.

Yeah I can’t blame them for posting content. It’s not ideal that 169 and shitposting take up 80% of my feed, but it’s better than nothing, right?

Posted my thoughts on !bleach@lemmy.world. The new opening is great! I noticed there’s some anime-only stuff here, which is very exciting since I hope they go somewhere with it!

Yeah it’s become my go-to because it works well now. Still keeping some other apps installed but I’m pretty happy with Jerboa at the moment.

Yeah but the only time I’m not tired is 3 AM.

I’ve grown fond of Connect’s UI pretty quickly. However, ever since they fixed whatever was going on with Jerboa recently, it’s actually been working very well, really smooth and responsive. So I’m on Jerboa right now.

We’re still young. You gotta make one yourself!

Well, the main thing is that they’re killing BaconReader. I’ve used BaconReader for about a decade now, it just isn’t the same without it.

And then when I came over here to try Lemmy out, I found it’s pretty nice here. Especially with all the protest infighting Reddit has been pretty toxic lately. Or always, I guess.

And there are third party apps allowed here!

I heard about the versions thing. Before this morning it was crashing a lot, but not completely unusable.

If I install from somewhere other than the play store, can I still update from the play store later, or will I have to uninstall and reinstall again? Installing from outside the play store isn’t a dealbreaker for me, but since I also have other Lemmy apps installed to use in the meantime, I’ve been figuring I’d just wait it out, if it’ll be a hassle.

Thanks for the help tho!

For me there are things I like and don’t like. It’s the first time I’ve encountered the “swipe a little to upvote” feature but I’m finding I like it.

Classic net zero information post

The average user won’t know what’s happening, they’ll just think “Wow, what’s with all this spam, mods need to do their jobs.”

What needs to happen is people migrate from Reddit to alternatives like Lemmy, or at the very least, the Reddit admins think enough people are going to leave Reddit. Filling your sub with spam won’t make people switch to Lemmy, they’ll just go to one of the remaining subs that’s still being moderated.

I’ve been telling people, the only way this works is if communities migrate somewhere else. Every single blacked out subreddit needs to post their new location on a site other than Reddit. Otherwise people will just stay on Reddit and wait or visit/make new subreddits.
