  • No. The responses are the way they are, because people who gave them are already thinking they joined some elitistic “muh sikret klub!” group.

    Simple “eh, it won’t fix the problem, and here’s why and how YOU can help” would be preferable, but no, special elite force of lemmy underground is too privileged to bother.

    Thank heavens not everyone is like that. Saves the number of times I have to hit “block the idiot” button.








  • I find this comment section a prime example of dickish hivemind seething over nothing.

    There’s a dude, obviously quite fresh in the ways of Mastodon. He probably doesn’t realize all the nuts & bolts supporting the system and how it all works. He is asking a question that is logical, but it needs clarification, like “it doesn’t work like this, my man”.

    Instead he gets “Hsssssssssssssss, selfhost it, hsssssssssssssssssssss, interloper, hsssssssssssssssssss, you want to destroy this place, hssssssssssssssss…”

    Get a life, eejits.


  • I’m with you.

    Add:

    • “crisis is coming, you will absolutely need product x, even though you barely use it, because it will soon disappear from the shelves”
    • people overbuy product x
    • price inflation, adjacent products are affected too
    • long lines and chaos in otherwise dull markets
    • BAM! it turns out the shortage was created purely by scare-tactic guerilla marketing

    And it involves:

    • “journalists” produce fear, scare, hate, fake news
    • they never get gallows, even though their lying, toxic language actually KILLS people
