  • It’s worse short term but better for them long term

  • Ars is usually better than this. The title for this article makes no sense.

  • The opinion monoculture is not specific to Lemmy. Most social platforms, and even real life social circles, live in bubbles.

    The Internet anonymity combined with the upvote incentives only make the problem worse.

    I agree with your complaint but I don’t see it as something that can be fixed. We can all do our part to engage civilly and respectfully with others, but it won’t be enough to change the culture.

  • I notice this much less frequently as time went on. Reddit had the same trend in Digg era.

  • Third party mobile apps can also implement this, it doesn’t have to be done in Lemmy itself.

  • Even posts with 100 upvotes and zero comments have value. It’s a quick way for me to see what’s happening without having to check multiple sources. The comments are just a bonus.

  • I subscribe to very few communities and only browse my home feed. It’s been great so far.

  • Oh god, please make this a strict inclusion

  • Governments should push UBI, not corporations like Mercedes

  • Gotta juice up those numbers before IPO so executives can sell their stock and leave others to hold the bag

  • Executives care only about their bonuses, and the best way to boost them is to milk companies on the short term even if it ruins them on the long term. There is no incentive to care about long term.

  • Not just in Europe but also most other Western countries such as Canada

  • Lina Khan is taking her role seriously. She needs more time though, let’s hope she’ll have it.

  • That compensation is reddit stock so let’s see how much it’s worth after the stock price tanks

  • We already built the expensive Internet infrastructure that allows any digital media, including movies, to be delivered to your computer for virtually $0 extra cost. However, even though the infrastructure was built you are “not allowed” to access the digital media unless you pay some arbitrary price.

    In your example, having a washer/fridge installed in the house is not that different from having an Internet router installed in your house. In both cases the infrastructure is readily available and costs nothing to use but you cannot access the services for artificial reasons.

    I’m obviously not defending Audi as I think it’s a ridiculous concept but this is already happening at a large scale.

  • A choice screen is a baby step that’s not enough to level the playing field.

  • These companies are snake oil salesmen.

  • While Apple has many issues, their support of older phones is really good. You can replace the battery once and still use the same phone for at least 5-6 years.

    My current phone is 4.5 years old and still going strong, with latest software versions.
