Wow, instant subscribe right there.
It’s a psychological consequence of polarization, which occurs when you have too many people in a social group agreeing with each other.
Groupthink elevates extreme opinions.
How do you feel about carrots and leafy greens?
Many versions of the Bible have sadly censored the mentions of Iron Man over the years.
Maybe that’s why she said no.
I remember watching when it was relatively new, but I don’t think I made it that far. They kept that series going way longer than I realized.
Even before the insane number of bots that are on reddit today, I believe that subreddit was one of the main ways for astroturf accounts to gain karma quickly. They knew that everyone was just there to look at happy things and would upvote heavily.
This is current problem in society that we don’t tolerate different opinion.
Exactly this. When online platforms become too homogeneous, any deviation from the typical opinions that are shared seems like a terrible, inexcusable offense that someone must do something about - thus, reinforcing the bubble.
We need to be able to disagree with each other and still get along.
Since most people are talking about the sign-up barriers, I’ll mention culture and reputation.
I love Lemmy and Mastodon, but whenever I’ve seen the fediverse brought up elsewhere, someone inevitably shuts down any curiosity by suggesting that it’s a political echo-chamber. I don’t think that’s accurate for all of it, but if that reputation is out there, we probably need to make an effort to show that there’s a broader appeal. If the average person is expecting the fediverse to be the left-wing equivalent of something like “Truth Social”, I could understand the reluctance to adopt it.
That title is the cherry on top.
Unless you’re suggesting that this man was involved in that situation, there’s room to feel sympathy for both murder victims. I know I do.
This man was a teacher and coach for 16 years who only recently became a police officer, and now he’s gone. If your first reaction to this news isn’t sadness, then I don’t know what to tell you.
A lot of people can’t see past their hate.
Ooh, and an intersection every time they cross.
Every headline I read about this man is pure insanity.
Whiteboards are great for this.
It really is great. I see how it could be an acquired taste though.
Many mornings I’m actually drinking earl grey while browsing Lemmy. It’s probably my favorite tea.
Isn’t colorblindness almost exclusively found in males too?
Probably oversimplifying, but it’s something about the mutation being on the X chromosome, meaning women have a backup X and men don’t.
