Gross
There is literally nothing better about the clientele of this platform than reddit except people are nicer and probably less miserable on average in the comments. If anything its users are less socialized and more insular - e.g. I use linux server extensively for work where it controls most of the internet, but most of the hot takes here about linux here are beyond stupid. If anything, between Lemmy and reddit, the users here are even more convinced they're knowledgeable and infallible connoisseurs, if that's even possible. So when fallout does happen, it's generally more ugly.
Also, the bear thing is not controversial - except with infantile man-children. Those people don't get to represent a demographic.
Laugh's in mule
Just an FYI in case you don't follow Cloud news but Google has deleted customers accounts on multiple occasions and has been for literal years. This time they just did it to someone large enough to make the news. I work in SRE and no longer recommend GCP to anyone.
Think I'm gonna be taking the solidarity approach pretty soon. Humanity is truly a cancer.
Posting rent-free in his mind
There you go again dropping huge reaches as if they were facts. Doubt many people here give two flying shits about hexbear.
We're confused? Why do you talk for other people like that's somehow authorative ngl. Not a great thing to insult the intelligence of a whole group with the 'I think' line.
When you say those words do you imagine normal people reading this and not laughing
The deeper I get into this platform the more I realize the guise of being 'progressive, left, privacy-conscious, tech inclined' is literally the opposite.
There is basically no faster way to advertise
Unsurprisingly this is a bigly amount of people on any online platform, it turns out.
Just... exponentially more on Lemmy since a large portion of it is Linux related.
