...and Star Trek.
There's no arguments about that, other than the murder

Like I get the meme, but maybe rethink it? It’s also giving
Yes but "the fashion"

Lemmy doesnt have any proper discussions though. Its just memes. Personally i have to check reddit to actually get proper content to learn something from.
But still, Lemmy is at least not big tech!
I don't agree. Do you mean that you require us to do it or are you just not engaged in it?

Okay then, you put 'atheists' alongside racists and child pornography which is what would get people's backs up.
No, I can put atheist alongside racist and cp because the front page was full of atheist posts > Racist posts > CP. No this doesn't mean all atheists.

He's referencing /r/jailbait which was super popular on Reddit till they banned it.
I found the existence of the sub fuckjng appalling but it was also arguably a big part of the enshittifstion of Reddit. Like. I hate that it existed but it wasn't illegal.
It wasnt illegal if people only posted girls over 18 but thats not the case. There were a ton of under 18s being posted. When it was banned the sub pivoted to some like "fashion" sub and continued posting under 18s and 18s for plausible deniability.

I meant "alongside" in terms of "as bad".

I stand corrected then.
I thought its whole loophole thing was that it was legal which is why something that disgusting wasn't removed.
I don't know how they didn't remove something that was actually illegal from the site earlier. Double gross. Evil. Ew.
I doubly don't understand why something that was illegal wasn't removed WAY earlier.

Not true! you can get into arguments with random people about Marxism AND Linux!
that's what .ml stands for, right?

The issue is when the entire sub is filled with people who look young enough to be under 18 its very hard for admins to tell when they're actually under 18. After the ban the fashion sub posted people clearly under 18 and used the excuse that its fine because they're clothed and they're just reviewing the fashion.

There's no lack of people willing to have discourse. No one is asking the questions.
People go to Reddit with hard questions (an other things) they want to crowdsource
People don't come to Lemmy with it, but other than not knowing which tech forum to ask it in, there's no reason they can't.

Honestly I like the conversations here, it reminds me a lot of the old internet.

Honestly, that's not accidental. Reddit's a hot mess right now..
Once the IPO dropped last year, the algorithm started steering users to the least productive, most rage-bait inducing content. I was on many art-related subs and within 6 months, my feed pivoted to the political feeds.. MurderedByWords, LeopardsAteMyFace and others. The AppleHelp and VintageGaming and VintageApple where I had the best, most in-depth conversations all but vanished from my home page feed.
Oddly enough subs like anime_titties (which was non-US based global-only news with the sub's title used to keep the 50-cent Army from seeing it as the Great Firewall doesn't like anime_titties) also went down my feed list. Then mystery subs with really rage-inducing content like NewsHub which was lots of middle-east and Gaza related stuff appeared - and I hadn't ever visited that sub.. stuff that I han't even heard of showed up.
NGL, I fell right into it. It's slick, that's for sure.
Eventually the rage-bait posts got me.. I had started to get snarkier and snarkier and the mod-bots bumped me yesterday - within a minute - of making a metaphorically mean post. I spent the evening on old reddit getting at the unarchived content I'd posted and manually deleted it. Then managed to get to the delete account page and left. 14 years. Oh well.
The AI they're using isn't as well trained as they think, (hence the Reddit stock tanking in the past 2 weeks) and of course Steven MIller (the real POTUS right now) is looking to go after the mainstream social media sites.
It's getting a bit schizophrenic, what with the fear of the Trump Administration meddling on one hand and the algorithm on the other driving engagement by highlighting the EXACT strident content that makes it a target.
Oooooffffff. Fun times ahead.

This is actually not quite correct. It may be a side effect but originally that sub was created because moderation sucked in a different global news sub. If I remember correctly that sub started getting flooded with lewd anime so the new sub was created for global news but named ironically in the tradition of r\marijuanaenthusiasts and r\trees

Welcome to 2025 where the platform that promotes nazi rhetoric are the victims.
Name a platform that doesn't have people promoting nazi rhetoric

100% accurate

TUVIX WAS AN ABOMINATION!
Plus, my head cannon is that Severance is based entirely on the Tuvix incident.

What sort of discussion are you seeking? I'm spending most of my time in the comments, droppin truth bombs on dey heads.

Keep chugging along.
