Because swearing was strictly forbidden in my household and i picked it up in late high school and early college partially as an act of defiance.

I made friends also more interested in content and quality of thought than on politeness and that was dope AF.

Now it's part of my lexicon, just a casual turn of phrase.

"Ay yo, that shit is fire" conveys the same sentiment as "Wow! That's really cool."

I'm a mechanical engineer and a writer. Words are words. They have meanings and those meanings change over time and with context/audience.

People who don't ever swear feel repressed to me. It's a weird vibe. Not a fan.

Depends on your use case. If you like the content or communities that exist here, then obviously stay. Lemmy/Kbin/Mbin feel fairly stable about what communities exist and which get actual traffic, so make your decision based on your interests and interactions, as well your beliefs.

I'm on Reddit way more often than I'm on here cause my favorite subreddits don't exist here in any capacity oe have minimal activity

"Scaring the hoes" is a catch all term for when the things men enjoy in private or with other men create environments that are inhospitable to women.

I've always heard it in a comedic context, said with nearly the same tone as when Eustace berates Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Damn, that's fucking awful. What female-centric communities existed? I know what ones my wife follows on Reddit but not their analogues here

Edit: Nevermind. The Reddit communities i found with analogues here are dead AF. Even the big pooular stereotypical topics like Fashion, cooking, weight loss, wedding planning, cozy games, skincare, hair styles, TV shows, romance books, dating, are all dead here.

Goddam, Lemmy users literally scared all the women away.

A real life example of "Stop scaring the hoes"

I am increasingly unable to take this place seriously.

This makes sense considering who is here, but I would be very interested to see a Lemmy/kbin demographics survey.

The mod history you posted definitely makes it look like they have a clear idea what kind of bikini/community they want and you don't fit and neither of you were gonna change.

I've got negative interest in Beehaw. I'm not defending them or calling you a malcontent. They might be actual fascists for all i know. I've had 0 interactions with them.

Just saying that it's clear who they want and it's not you

The RDNA 2 vs Ampere generation featured the 6900 XT vs the 3090 in a really competitive showdown.

The RDNA 3 vs Ada generation sees AMD compete really strongly everywhere except the very very top. The 7900 XTX is cheaper and faster at raster than the 4080 and 4080 Ti in most cases (with worse efficiency and RT), for instance. You can make a competitive argument for either company at each pricing segment except Nvidia below $200 and AMD at the very very top.

That's a farrrr cry from "the 8700 XT competes with the 5070, but past that there's no AMD card"

It's reminiscent of the RDNA 1 vs Turing, where the 6700 XT and 2070 were competitive but AMD had no answer for the 2080, let alone the 2080 Ti, except this time it'll be more obvious since they'll be a 5090 as well.

The issue i think is that it reinforces the belief that Nvidia cards are faster and that AMD cards are cheap/budget,

AMD cards being just as fast (besides RT) with good/better value is one thing, but AMD being slower is a harder misconception to unravel

Do we have any reasonable/substantive speculation about why they canceled the bigger die in the 8000 series?

[–] NaClKnight@kbin.run 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's what i thought you meant. Thanks!

in my case, the diaspora didn't change me so much as it displaced me.

Now I'm here and there. Much like Twitter and Masto where i do more content viewing on the legacy site where there's more content, but more posting on the FOSS alternative because of ideological imperative to see it grow even if its content doesn't serve me (yet?)

Actually, I'm kind of curious:

What do you mean "because of the nature of the reddit migration?"

 

Exactly what the title says.

What has your experience been on any of those platforms? Which captures more of your time? Why?

I'm relatively new here but I've read a little on the reddit-like platforms. I (mostly) understand what's a fork of what or what some of the technical differences are, but I'm curious about the vibes and communities.
