I count that as gatekeeping. It’s the reason my contribution to that community has degreased over 90%. If it was just “men’s club” then I’d have a ton of stuff to post there but nowdays I just consider it all too interesting to post there but not interesting enough to post anywhere else so I just don’t post it anywhere then.

The audacity of some people… I simply cannot comprehend it. I’d feel so ashamed of myself.

And I don’t mean expressing distaste for something when it’s relevant to the discussion.

I don’t personally find that post complainy in the way I was talking about. It’s frustrating and kind of funny. I don’t sense any negative vibe there at all.

The kind of complaining I’m talking about is the exhausting kind to be around. Even there I express my frustration but also say I have a solution for the problem.

Pointing out everything wrong with the world without offering anything even remotely like a sustainable, realistic alternative is incredibly unproductive

Ofcourse I too complain sometimes. I just try not to but I’m not perfect.

It’s the people who took action that brought us here - not the ones who just complained.

“How can we make things better?” Is not complaining. “Everything sucks and it’s everyone else’s fault but mine” is.

These people also don’t seem to know their history very well when they’re using the French Revolution as an example.

Once the common enemy was defeated the revolutionaries realized that they no longer have the thing that united them so they turned on eachother next. Just like the US and USSR turned on eachother once the Nazies were defeated.

You’ll be hard-pressed to catch me complaining about anything. I don’t like hearing others do it, so I don’t take part either.

And I don’t mean expressing distaste for something when it’s relevant to the discussion. I mean the kind of unprompted whining we’re all exposed to here on a daily basis. I’m too aware of the social game being played there, and even the thought of joining in makes me cringe. Pointing out everything wrong with the world without offering anything even remotely like a sustainable, realistic alternative is incredibly unproductive - it’s mostly just tribal signaling.

How dare they answer the question OP presented. What a hypocrite!

I’m obviously being facetious.

Big wheels roll over potholes better.

This isn’t an example of a broken clock being right twice a day. Torvalds is complaining that his inbox is flooded with bug reports because everyone’s monkey suddenly started outputting Shakespeare.

Duplicates don’t add anything to the conversation

But it’s not the same person reporting the same bug multiple time but rather a new tool enabling multiple people to discover that same bug at the same time.

Not reporting it because “someone else probably will” is a sociopsychological phenomenon called diffusion of responsibility.

Well people using twitter surely aren’t to blame for that which is what I was responding to here.

People using LLMs do drive up the demand for computer components, I’ll give you that, though even there it’s a bit more nuanced than that.

That same logic makes you a communist then. And me a communist fascist I guess? Go figure… Difficult to keep up with the insane troll logic you’re displaying here.

Friends? Love?

People could just buy EV SUVs and Pickup trucks so the degrading road infrastructure would be less of an issue.

Or they could order doordash once less a month and put that money towards the common good.

I consider myself quite active on Lemmy yet I still only average 12 comments and half a post per day. For all I know, Lemmy could have these same limits and I’d never even find out about it.

Multiple reasons, but I’d be lying if I claimed it’s not partly out of spite for all the people who get hilariously angry about it. I’m also subscribed to SuperGrok.

Imagine getting angry because other people do things you don’t like, even though it doesn’t affect you in any way whatsoever. Stop hitting yourself.

Are trolls not real people?

Most people are financially illiterate, so this kind of article works well when there’s nothing else worth reporting on (as if that’s the case now). When the markets are up we can shame wealthy investors for “profiting on a crisis,” and when they’re down we can bask in the schadenfreude of them “losing millions” - even though in both cases we’re talking about unrealized gains and the whole article is irrelevant a month later.
