Affiliate links and coupons should be banned… Artificially inflating prices so that some users can add a code to get a discount. Huge in antics for years, but growing rapidly in Europe for the last 10.

From small seeds… I had noticed a huge improvement regarding lemmy posts and threads, before the US election, and then it all kind of went backwards.

But if you have any questions about anything - niche or otherwise, you should post them on lemmy, helping it to grow faster. Even if the answers can already be found in other community forums.
You should get specific replies to your question anyway, but also anyone coming behind you won’t have to go to reddit or any other place for the answer. It requires everyone to help, but questions are the fastest way to grow in most cases. Not including the likes of subs that can post original content, A TON of reposts on them too, but some OC. But mainly asking for help with anything should get people with knowledge on the subject replying. With the idea that eventually many answers can be found here without having to go elsewhere. Start ‘spamming’ your genuine questions now…

I did read into it. It doesn’t mean democracy is doomed to failure, but it proves that it doesn’t work. Mathematically or otherwise.

It is fact. Look up arrows impossibility theorem.

The urge to act like an asshole on another platform is just too much…

Twitter was a cesspool long before trump, and it was made such by the same people trying to distance themselves from it now.

“Ohh… I wasn’t a cunt on Twitter, I’m one of the people moving away from it”.

White cisgender males … You didn’t understand my comment Mr collateral. Maybe see you in the next life…

When you say “ignorant comments like this” after you referring to yours?

Genuine question.

Democracy doesn’t work. The smaller countries notice it moreso. But the size of the US running a two part t system is insane, and not a true democracy. I wasn’t attacking anything but the platform that they use.

What’s the issue you have with a non democratic country?

I genuinely think most people (I used to just think most Americans) don’t understand the alternatives.

Democracy has been proven not to work, and those involved in it will tell you that they agree, but there’s no better option. -

Which if you think about it, isn’t really an answer.

It’s like saying: Democracy doesn’t work, mathematically or otherwise. Try something that doesn’t breed corruption. They all do, democracy is just the best corruption.

Which is bullshit. Mixing it up is the best way to stop the corruption.

We need a lot of anarchy in the world right now, otherwise we’re just the fertilizer for power families. Our grandkids are fucked in general, except for the few that get a break.

Touch screens are shit tor buttons. They can be hacked. They can be unresponsive.

There’s a load of other reasons, but either or both are enough to realise that a physical button is much safer. Perfect example of safety being lost in technology. Just because we can, doesn’t mean we should.

If anything, the Dutch will enforce more laws on them

Is duckduckgo chromium based?

I don’t use it, just curious.
