Did you just say Arch Linux?

[–] xeekei@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago

'Linux is slang for Arch Linux, so I think they did.

Can't we all just hate Ubuntu in peace?

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I thought I was cool leaving windows for Ubuntu. Y'all crushed me.

[–] Vampiric_Luma@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

I think you're cool :)

I may be heavily biased as a user of Ubuntu, but shhh

No that's also just memes and shitposts.

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Not all Star Trek posts are memes and shitposts, some of them areData driven

Don’t forget freeing Palestine

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You forgot bitching about Chrome

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 16 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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?

Agreeing about Firefox, Linux and Twitter. Like, seriously agreeing, without sarcasm.

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I see that you must have blocked certain communities that talk about nothing BUT that site that we do "not" talk about:-P.

What if you get a car running linux? 🤔🕵️

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

park that thing permanently and use it as a Lemmy server

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Tbh you can even discuss most of that, if you disagree you'll just be torn to shreds.

What about instance drama?

[–] Rolder@reddthat.com 10 points 1 year ago

Instance drama is usually related to one of the above discussion options

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Occasionally a video game... maybe

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like when halo punches the bad guys

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I like that Zelda guy with the sword.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll take this over the discussion options on Reddit.

Wait'll you see how the rest of the internet is

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, wasn't there a post the other day with Lemmy stats showing more discussion than ever?

[–] explodicle@local106.com 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't do that at all. How dare you?!

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.

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.

All memes are shitposts.

Facts.

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?!

[–] where_am_i@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

looks like OP hasn't been to the world news community.

"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👍👍👍👍👍

Since federation is broken a lot of instances I follow don’t have new posts. So no discussions for me.
