  • rather than just spamming memes and non sequitors based off keywords in the topic title

    Yeah I thought that was just reddit, but we do it over here too. Stupid thing is, the “karma” or whatever it’s called on Lemmy isn’t even displayed, so it doesn’t do shit anyway.

    I probably should have been nicer and not done the LMGTFY

    I mean, maybe? I think if all the downvoters understood that the content in question was right there in the article, they would have been on your side. Instead, they just pile on and call you a meanie. Meh.







  • There’s some irony here

    According to GrapheneOS, a security-oriented Android Open Source Project (AOSP)-based distro: “The app doesn’t provide client-side scanning used to report things to Google or anyone else. It provides on-device machine-learning models that are usable by applications to classify content as spam, scams, malware, etc. This allows apps to check content locally without sharing it with a service and mark it with warnings for users.”

    So the headline is wrong too.








  • I lurked pretty much everywhere except the subreddit of an app that I know a lot about to help users with support questions.

    On Reddit, you don’t really have a conversation most of the time. It’s always a competition about who can out-funny the other comments with snarky one-liners and other off-topic comments that are not necessarily unfunny, but don’t add much to the thread OP started.

    Next to that, you always had to be very precise with your words and take everything you can into account, or otherwise someone takes a small thing from your comment and uses that to declare you a troll, bot, or just tries to dunk on you because what you said doesn’t cover all the scenarios you could think of or be arsed to write down.

    I’ve thought about this before, and I’ve always chalked it up to a lack of compatibility with other online users and perhaps just Reddit culture. The way I view it internally is this:

    A lot of people see comments as the end of a conversation. To me, it’s the start of a conversation.

    On Lemmy it still happens, don’t get me wrong. But there’s a higher chance of actually having a conversation, and respectfully pointing out nuance and trying to get actual humans to talk about the subject at hand.
