Independent thinker valuing discussions grounded in reason, not emotions.

I say unpopular things but never something I know to be untrue. Always open to hear good-faith counter arguments. My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points.

  • Is there any proof behind the idea that "reddit is filled with bots"?

    Jump

  • Few days ago someone said reddit is mostly bots and when I said I went and checked the profiles of 10 different top commentors from the most popular subs and said that none of them seemed like bots to me I was then essentially told that they mimic real humans so well that it's impossible to tell.

    So in other words it's not actually mostly bots but this is just a narrative the people hating on reddit want to believe in. If it was actually mostly bots it would be easy to verify by opening 3 random profiles. Atleast one of those should be a bot.

  • So by same logic we can then also assume everyone who voted for Kamala also wants U.S. to continue delivering arms to Israel, right?

  • Yeah, props to Apple for bringing back the card reader and HDMI. When I bought my early 2015 MBP I specifically went with the older model because these ports were removed on the newer one which also came with the shitty butterfly keyboard as well which they've also since discontinued.

  • Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are?

    Jump

  • Or does it only count in your book when the people dying “look like us”?

    No that totally counts. Why do you need to imply I have some racist agenda here?

  • YSK: How to filter out posts and comments based on keywords

    Jump

  • I think that if you add spaces around the keyword it then wont trigger if that word is contained within another word.

    Another thing to note is that the post filtering also applies to usernames.

  • What are you basing that on? I lost a ton of followers when they started deleting bot acconts and the steady flow of around 4 new bot followers each day has died down as well. Maybe your experience has been different but if you're not even on Twitter, I wonder how you would know.

    Blinking lights are my pet-peeve with cyclists. Cars don't have blinking lights - neither should bikes.

  • Implying that "the right" as a whole supports rape is such a ridiculous thing to say.

  • ‘An existential battle’: how Trump’s win is shifting the US media landscape

    Jump

  • Trump won by basically uninformed voters and media manipulation.

    There's a huge number of Trump voters who don't even like him but are fed up with the identity politics and wokeism on the far-left and voting for Trump was just a way to get back at these people.

  • Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are?

    Jump

  • And your proof of this is… what?

    The war in Ukraine has so far caused around 300k deaths. I can't think of a person alive who'd be responsible for more deaths than that.

  • Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are?

    Jump

  • There is little reason to talk shit of Putin as he is so hated, just as no reason to discuss water being wet.

    Wouldn't the same be true about Elon and Trump though, especially when talking about Lemmy.

  • Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are?

    Jump

  • To be fair. In my experience I see much more hate directed towards Trump and Elon here in Finland too. Putin is rarely the subject of discussion among my friends.

  • Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are?

    Jump

  • Wouldn't it also be correct to say that on Lemmy, Trump and Elon are also almost universally hated too? That's why it's so confusing that I mostly see it directed at them when I feel like it should be more towards Putin.

    On a second though, the amount of tankies here probably explain this to a some extent.

  • Israel caused more death and suffering than Russia

    Irrelevant and not true.

    As of 5 November 2024, over 45,000 people (43,391 Palestinian[1] and 1,706 Israeli)[19] have been reported killed in the Israel–Hamas war

    Source

    Russia’s military casualties, the officials said, are approaching 300,000. The number includes as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injured troops. The Russian numbers dwarf the Ukrainian figures, which the officials put at close to 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000 wounded.

    And that doesn't even include civilians.
