I’ve gotten my last 2 jobs through LinkedIn. I know it doesn’t work well for some fields, but for tech it is great.

Similar to you, but I also hate the advertising industry with a burning passion and want to deprive them of any and all data possible.

You forgot to mention you use Arch, btw.

To be fair, this is describing all advertising.

Piracy is not stealing. Piracy affects artists.

These two statements can and do coexist.

The fact that downvoting is seen as possible misbehavior is enough for me to be extremely against public votes.

It will also strengthen the hive mind, exponentially.

I’ll say the same thing I say at the airport.

“I would like to opt-out please”

Don’t use BodyFit by bodybuilding.com.

Their developers are completely incompetent and break the app haphazardly. Earlier this year, they broke the ability to login. So you could not use the app at all.

Do not use BodyFit. Yes, I’m salty that it broke between two sets and my workout was ruined for the day and then also for the week.

I just started using this after BodyFit broke login for a month.

So far, I’m liking it a lot.

Having had win11 installed for approximately a year, my default browser (Firefox) has never been changed by an update.

Personally, I think it is worse here as there is almost zero opposing voice. On Reddit, there are people from most sides of most topics. Here, in most conversations, there is only one side represented.

Now, I tend to agree with the bias here, on some things, some times. But even when I agree, I want to see arguments from the opposition. Otherwise, I never learn.

It is unfortunate that this is what you have decided to take away from the blog post instead of reflecting on the criticism I have provided.

This is a serious problem across Lemmy(and elsewhere). Someone makes a reasonable argument and the responses will all pile on either something in the users comment history or one sentence in 5 paragraphs that they disagree with.

I dont mean to be rude, but people that have been banned from Reddit coming here does not improve the community.

I’d say this is only half of the answer.

After browsing Lemmy for a while, you get the sense that the average user here is the type that gets upset about a social media company making changes to an API. That is a very specific type of person and you can see it in the comments.

I’d guess people get turned off by that type of person and leave.

I come here once Reddit and hacker news content is old. This isn’t a place I’d recommend to anyone, unfortunately. There are extremely strong biases all over and deep echo chambers. Users here seem like the perpetually online type. Most perspectives I’ve seen have been heavily influenced by online discourse rather than reality.

I visit this site less and less due to the user base.

I’m no expert, but I like to workout in cycles. When I’m lifting heavy and start to plateau, I will tend to switch to a high rep lower weight program for 2-4 weeks. Then start back on heavy lifting, starting a bit lower and working my way back up.

It works for me, but everyone is different. Good luck in your journey!

Edit: when I’m feeling sick, I’ll take really light days. Stretch only, or do some very light weights. I try not to push it while sick and prefer to just rest.

It is even more annoying on Lemmy clients that show every link in a comment at the bottom of the comment in easy to tap boxes. This is great for 1 or 2, but every mastodon post has everyone @ing everyone else.

I just downvote it all, block the users, and move on. That shit is annoying.

Lol. I hadn’t even thought of that random instance until this post.

I imagine most people are like me. They forgot this instance existed.

Oh no, I totally agree.

My comment is more on the trend of where general social media seems to be heading.

That said, as long as we can continue to ignore… great!

Are these audio only posts? That sounds like a terrible direction for the fediverse to go. We already have enough videos of people staring at their phone while talking.

Did everyone forget how to read?

Yes, I read the bit about transcription.
