I imagine we all have different use cases, my idea of Lemmy succeeding may not be your idea.

That being said, as a replacement for Reddit, where I can scroll through the top say 50 posts once or twice a day, it absolutely fits the bill.

Engagement is much better for me here, I imagine due to the smaller size of the community, that lends itself to their being much less useless garbage comments and much more constructive or informative discussion.

The above being said, I do wish there were more people here.

Israel isn’t targeting non-combatants

How many thousands of children have been slaughtered by Israeli troops?

If you want to be pedantic, and you’re talking only about this specific attack, children were killed in these pager/walkie-talkie blasts too. Are they enemy combatants to you?

Don’t be a genocide apologist.

Five years ago, if you had asked me if Israel would be committing terrorist attacks across Palestine, Lebanon and beyond, I would have said absolutely not.

I would have been wrong, even back then, but jesus fucking christ, what an absolute shambles.

How my government supports this state-sponsored terrorism is beyond me.

Nobody.live

Lets you find Twitch streams with no viewers, with support for category filtering, it’s a pretty interesting site.

Secretly?

Shit, I’m from the UK and I don’t know a single person here that doesn’t already know that the Conservatives in the US are infested with russian mouth pieces.

Horribly kept secret if you can even call it one.

Can’t help but feel for the developers here. I get that Bethesda has no responsibility to keep 3rd party Devs updated, but surely someone on the team would have noticed the potential for community engagement and worked with those putting the time and effort into the IP.

Here’s the important part.

Certified transcripts of each day’s proceedings will be posted to the New York State Unified Court System’s press website by the end of the following business day, according to a Monday press release. Transcripts can be expensive and sometimes unavailable, depending on the location or particular court system.

Website mentioned

I can’t argue with your logic here, and neither can I fault your conclusion. All that being the case, though, what can US voters do in this case?

Not vote? Vote 3rd party? Do you guys even have more than 2 parties over there? Seems like you have even more of a duopoly than we do over here in the UK.

I’ll be real, that situation seems pretty fucked, but I have no idea about US politics really, I’m from Wales.

That being said, our main political parties are essentially in this same state by the looks of things.

Turns out we should have been helping Ukraine against Putin’s fascistic colonialism instead of supporting an entirely separate set of fascists commit genocide in Palestine.

Wild that the answer to young people being exposed to literal genocide and having an opinion about it, isn’t to try and do something about the genocide, but to call it indoctrination and try to ban it.

Make it make sense.

This is pretty cool, thanks.

The problem I had with no man’s sky is that a large amount of the out of proportion expectations were a direct result of the developers over promising, rather than consumers just being over hyped.

This is unfortunately a well documented fact at this point.

Next up - Water found to be wet!

For what it’s worth, in 2019 a majority of people voted for parties other than the Tories. They received 43% of the vote, and their leader at the time was Boris Johnson.

The last two Prime Ministers weren’t elected by voters, though I suppose you could argue that the majority of voters didn’t elect Boris either.

The comments I’m seeing saying something like “well you voted for this” are incredibly misguided. We have a fucking terribly archaic voting system that doesn’t serve us at all, there are several large pushes throughout the UK trying to change that.

Be the change! On a real note though, I feel your pain.

Absolutely sound logic though.

Couldn’t have put it better if I tried.

This hyperfixation some have with user numbers or activity stats is nothing but harmful. As you mentioned already, the amount of content, whilst significantly smaller, is much more organic. I’ve got more out of my ~2 months on Lemmy than I did on the previous 2 years I was on Reddit.

Appreciate update and info!
