It sounds like you’re selling an ideology then, not a functional product.

Alright. Let’s think of a random Joe, that uses reddit. A cousin, a friend, etc. What would be the pitch for them to give this coop social network a try?

For example:

Hey Joe, I know you like Reddit, check this out…

They don’t. But you can pay rent on revolutionary ideas alone.

Lol trash article.

Proof of burden falls on whoever is making the assertion.

What problem would this be solving? How would it improve on what’s already on offer? Are there any benefits to being a member or a worker, compared to a regular subscription model and a job?

These are not rethoric, I like the idea but I’m curious how it would work on more practical terms.

Have you heard of collector’s items my dude?

Bro don’t ruin the rp

Because they are behind a screen, and they see life as videogames and hyperbole.

buT mUh DeCenTrAlIZatiOn!

Not to mention the deluge of posts/comments advocating greater violence in the name of stopping violence. Honestly? I think people are just waking up to the fact that behind the techno babble and ideological propaganda, Lemmy is a social network just like any other.

That’s because it is either a bot or CharGPT generated.

Reactionaries…

Don’t bother. This is a troll. Lol

Wait you’re looking for evidence? And using logic? Sir this is Lemmy.

Because it’s an echo chamber. Not a forum.

It is not. It has gotten better but it still has ways to go. Unless you want to game while huffing copium, after spending a good chunk of your gaming time troubleshooting.

Is this a bug? Sounds like a feature of decentralization.

I don’t think it’s a slur. That’s what makes it funnier. It is a slur TO HIM and his cucks.

Something here seems off. Supposedly the occasion was explicitly to cook together, but then they came and refused to cook?

Either you let yourself be taken advantage on by going ahead and voluntarily cooking FOR all of them (instead of WITH), or the expectations weren’t clear around what the gathering was for. Maybe for them it was just about chatting nonsense all along, not about cooking.

Throughout your post you mention “they are boring”, you “try to teach them”, you can’t find “othets who are interesting and curious”. I say this in a good way: Have you considered maybe it’s an attitude problem?

I’ve read three paragraphs from you and I already have an impression you’re snobbish and think you’re better than everyone else. (Everyone else is boring, right?)

My point is there are a lot of layers here, and you have a role in it too. If they didn’t want to cook, why did you do it yourself voluntarily? Why didn’t you just say “Hey guys, so are we cooking or should we just order something delivered?”

I think you’re putting your effort in the wrong place. You are doing very specific things and you are expecting very specific things from your friends, maybe just don’t.

Be curious instead, listen to their ‘boring’ stuff and try to get involved. Listen to the people and not the topic. Why would they care about what you have to tell them, if your opinion of the things they are passionate about is:

… they are frankly painfully boring…

It sounds like you talk a lot, but don’t listen enough.

No.
