    I think the main problem here, after all, is your ego. Despite your accounts and “your” “content” being deleted by different administrators of different Lemmy communities, and despite the community itself, in this very thread, telling you’re wrong, you still act as if we all are a vocal minority of machiavellian Reddit secret agents working to destroy Lemmy.

    It’s not an honest debate if you’re not ready to actually listen to criticism and do some self reflection. If all you do is to repeat these same severely flawed arguments over and over, then talking to you is like beating our head against a brick wall… it will do no good.

    I don’t start threads because I prefer to engage in conversations that are already happening. Writing a thoughtful, contextual reply takes infinitely more human effort than running a script that copy-pastes a Reddit headline.

    We don’t need millions of users spamming Reddit leftovers to attract ‘native content’. If new users show up and find out that 80% of their feed is Reddit reposts, they won’t see it as a good place to stay, they will see it as a sort of RSS feed to Reddit. And if they want to engage with Reddit’s original content, they will go back to Reddit and discuss it there.

    You say Reddit has excellent content and we just need to curate it, but your actions show the exact opposite… You clearly don’t ask yourself (and neither does your automation script) if what you’re about to repost is relevant to that specific community, or if it will add any value. And when the community admins stop you from spamming useless or valueless ‘content’, actually curating stuff, you get frustrated.

    And no, I never said more users means lower quality content. I’m saying more activity is not the same as higher quality. These are two completely different statements. And no one is saying they don’t want more content either (as you mentioned in quotation marks in your edit to OP). What I (and many others here) am saying is that we don’t necessarily want more content, we want good content. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

    And why do you think ‘Lemmy’ has the interest of having millions of users regurgitating the same low quality shit from Reddit? What do you think ‘Lemmy’ (the actual community administrators that banned your accounts and your ‘content’) would gain from it?

    It works on Reddit because they literally make money out of it. They don’t care about the quality of the content. Lemmy is the opposite: getting flooded/hammered by low content shit makes admins lose time and money, and it also make the whole community worse.

    No thanks! I’d rather Lemmy/Piefed to grow organically than allowing non-credited ‘oc’ posts directly from Reddit or get it spammed with useless content.

    I’m sorry to break it to you, but you’re NOT doing Lemmy any favor. We (and I say ‘we’ because I firmly believe that’s the opinion of most regular Lemmy/Piefed users) do NOT want it to become another Reddit. We want it to be better than Reddit.

    And being a ‘more active’ community is not necessarily a good thing.

    Also, the ‘quadruple’ moderation you described is literally an intended characteristic of the federation. You might not see it as a good thing, because your account is basically an (unflagged) spamming bot account, and that’s exactly what Lemmy wants to avoid.

    If you update once or twice a week, chances are there are literally hundreds of packages to upgrade every time. There’s no chance someone will look into every single one of these packages to verify what could potentially ‘break’ their system or not. They just upgrade the whole thing and THEN, if something breaks, they work around it.

    As someone who uses CachyOS daily as my main distro, I wouldn’t install it on a device for someone that doesn’t want to do some maintenance from time to time. Maybe I wouldn’t go as far to say that it is UNSTABLE, but point release distros such as Mint or Debian are definitely more stable and require much less maintenance. Rolling release distros are, naturally, much riskier.

    I love how even modern Linux distros run so damn well on what’s considered today ‘outdated’ hardware.

    I love Linux Mint btw! I think you did a great choice! Even though it’s known as the beginner friendly distro, I think it’s just a damn great distro for pretty much anyone, experienced or newbies. Fantastic choice!

    It smells a lot like a honeypot to me. It doesn’t seem to have any proof that taking the exam actually converts to any benefit for real people, AND they collect TONS of data from people taking this exam.

    Their privacy terms indicates they don’t directly sell your data to 3rd parties. But they say that, if another company eventually acquires them, they inherit all the data and can basically update the privacy terms how they see fit and do whatever they want with it. They also admit to share your data to a lot of other companies and services in order to be able to do their ‘job’ whatever it might actually be, which in simple terms probably mean they share your data to commercial partners so these partners can do whatever they want with it.

    So, even if they really don’t (directly) sell your data, God knows what they and their partners will use it for.

    It seems very clear to me, though, that they will collect all your data and will not give you anything in return but false hopes.

    If I had to guess, most of these ‘books’ are some kink bullshit. Ever since I looked for the rankings in the Kindle section, it was flooded by books with men or women stripping on the cover and some random erotic titles. Among them some rare exceptions (and most of these were some cheap self-help stuff).

    That being said, I wouldn’t be surprised this is what’s being actually affected. I can’t see the actual data or content of the article though, because it requires me to subscribe and I definitely won’t.
