  • How many people actually click on the cited sources on reddit and Twitter?

  • Comments are different between instances for the same community? Is this supposed to happen?

    Jump

  • I'd love to help you figure this out, but your second link takes me to a 502 error.

    Anyway, my guess is that one instance you're on federates with certain instances, and one does not. So if you're on instance A and B, A federates with C, but B does not, so from B you won't see comments from C. But I admittedly don't know what the differences are between the comment sections you're seeing, so I could be completely wrong.

  • How many people who are horrified by this get their news through reddit or Twitter? Getting news via social media isn't weird.

  • Guys, I have a plan.

    1. Throw a huge party for migrants, drag queens, and communists on the border of Georgia and Florida.

    2. All the cool people in Florida will come.

    3. While they're there, we can saw Florida off from the contiguous United States, thus allowing it to sink into the ocean along with all the uncool people who live there.

  • The ruling class steals from the working class. By stealing from them, you are winning back some small amount of what has been taken from you, and withholding a tiny bit of power and influence they would have had if you'd bought the product. Shoplifting is also morally correct for this reason.

    Now, you shouldn't steal from co-ops, because they generally don't steal from their workers. Small businesses are a bit of a gray area, as many of them are much more ethical than big businesses, but many of them aren't, too, and you can't always know which is which.

    And before you accuse me of simply adopting a morality that is convenient to me, it's true that I've always had been ambivalent at worst about piracy, but I used to be firmly against shoplifting. Even tried to report a shoplifter to my supervisor when I was working retail, the one and only time I noticed someone shoplifting. (Thankfully in hindsight, they peeled out of the parking lot before they could be caught.) I came by my morals not when I suddenly needed to shoplift or pirate, but gradually as I stopped believing in liberal ideals.

    To be clear, I'm not saying you're some kind of hero if you pirate or shoplift. Just that, ethically speaking, it's better than buying from them.

    No, you didn't, but you said to "support" the game devs, and how does buying a game "support" them if little of the money goes to them?

  • Will you stay at Lemmy and the Fediverse, if Reddit steps back?

  • I'm probably going to keep using both regardless, though I may cut back significantly on my reddit use.

    Jump

  • Do you really expect me to believe that the majority of the money you pay for a game goes to its devs?

    Besides, I'm of the opinion that piracy in general is usually morally correct.

  • What? There may be a lot of trans-friendly spaces online, but there are, if anything, even more spaces that are actively hostile to trans people, and it's not always easy to tell which is which. And even safe spaces for trans people tend to get raided regularly.
