Did you just say Arch Linux?
'Linux is slang for Arch Linux, so I think they did.
Can’t we all just hate Ubuntu in peace?
I thought I was cool leaving windows for Ubuntu. Y’all crushed me.
I think you’re cool :)
I may be heavily biased as a user of Ubuntu, but shhh
Lol you are cool bro 😘
Hey, if want to try it, feel free to do it. Even Ubuntu is better than Windows.
I was also considering Ubuntu until I learned why I shouldn’t.
You be you.
btw I don’t like arch.
Weird way to spell NixOS…
You forgot Star Trek
No that’s also just memes and shitposts.
Not all Star Trek posts are memes and shitposts, some of them are
Don’t forget freeing Palestine
You forgot bitching about Chrome
Just use Firefox!
Switch to Linux!
Why are you still on Twitter?
Only old people use Facebook!
[Silence about that site we don’t talk about.]
Am I missing any?
Beans
Agreeing about Firefox, Linux and Twitter. Like, seriously agreeing, without sarcasm.
I see that you must have blocked certain communities that talk about nothing BUT that site that we do “not” talk about:-P.
I haven’t, but I’ve noticed the discussion seems confined to those communities, and you get yelled at if you bring it to elsewhere.
You forgot Unity! Every time they’re mentioned, people say just use Godot…
What if you get a car running linux? 🤔🕵️
park that thing permanently and use it as a Lemmy server
Tbh you can even discuss most of that, if you disagree you’ll just be torn to shreds.
To shreds you say‽
And his wife?
… to shreds you say?
Fuck Linux!

More like chardonnay socialists.
I’m pretty sure it’s thedonald refugees from Reddit, they’re posting about shidding fardding, and posting how scary they are, while banning anyone who says boo to them. I can see why iron fist Bolshevik fascism appeals to these cunts.
What about instance drama?
Instance drama is usually related to one of the above discussion options
Occasionally a video game… maybe
I like when halo punches the bad guys
I like that Zelda guy with the sword.
I’ll take this over the discussion options on Reddit.
Discussion options on Reddit:
- trolling / harassment
With only one non-downvotable opinion
Wait’ll you see how the rest of the internet is
Wait, wasn’t there a post the other day with Lemmy stats showing more discussion than ever?
Yes.
Thanks.
np ur wlcm
You are so polite. A gentleman and a scholar!

I love it when I’m reading the comments for a meme about butts or something, and then it quickly evolves into a deep discussion about the nature of human society.
B-b-b-b-butt… please remember to vote:-).
Meh. I’ve seen some decent discussions here on Lemmy, just not in c/memes.
Okay, and admittedly more than half of those discussions were about Linux.
It got me to start dual-booting Windows and Mint, so the propaganda works!
Well, I mean… The L in Lemmy does stand for Linux.
Linux! Everybody Make More You-sers.
I’ve noticed a lot of commenters straight away take things personally and think that mentioning something is endorsing it. That kills discussion and turns it into a defensive symantic battle against commenters’ assumptions.
I don’t do that at all. How dare you?!
Lmao notifications have no context for me (I just see the reply) but I knew right away exactly what comment this was about
A corrollary to what you’re saying is that people assume that because you’ve replied to them, you must be disagreeing with them. Often I’ll agree with a poster but comment to add to their point, only to get chewed out for disagreeing with them when I didn’t.
This is my experience. I’ll add some additional detail that supports someone’s comment and almost immediately get a “WELL ACKCHULY” reply from them.
Yep. That and the insane polarization. It’s virtually impossible to have a discussion with anyone here.
All memes are shitposts.
Facts.
Whoa there, calm down. Mom can only pay attention to one kid in the pool at a time.
Well, in my honest opinion as a commenter, I’d just like to say that I love discussions. What I tend to not enjoy is replying to the 1500 different people who replied to my post with valid takes, requiring me to read, understand and reply appropriately to all of them.
I am lazy, ok?!
Edit: replaced animated gif with a static one bc it just wouldn’t stop!!!:-P
looks like OP hasn’t been to the world news community.
I mean, I’ve blocked the news community. Too much political bullshit.
Replace lemmy with The Internet and it would be the same thing.
True. But I kind of hoped lemmy would be different. After hearing about the evil algorithms of Youtube, Facebook, etc using fear and anger to keep you engaged with their platform, I came to hope that with a non profit federated system there would be more diverse discussions with more tolerance for different points of view. But as you said, it is basically just the internet average.
After all, no evil corporate master plan is needed. It seems to me like people just like to live in filter bubbles if given the option.
“The problem is that no one’s contributing!”
-creates a community, trying to contribute-
-fails spectacularly with no engagement from anyone at all-
Well, that was encouraging👍👍👍👍👍
Crosspost alot while inviting to the community in post body, link in profile, etc.
Of course, Lemmy isn’t big enough to have active niche communities yet unfortunately.
Since federation is broken a lot of instances I follow don’t have new posts. So no discussions for me.
What do you mean by federation being broken?
The prophecy is true!
grrrrrrr how dare you make fun of shitposts at uselessserver093
