I LOVE Lemmy because it has the oldschool Reddit vibe where people will disagree and neither person is downvoting the other. They just have civil discussion. Much better!!

Enjoy while it lasts. It won’t be long before this place becomes exactly like Reddit. It’s already beginning to happen - especially when you talk about politics or politics-related stuff.

Downvotes should be for off topic posts/comments or spam.

Disagreement is best communicated by replying saying you disagree and why. It’s a discussion forum. Talk.

Not really. I think I visited twice this month - pop in to see someone’s comments page and some small sub. Nowadays if google sends me to Reddit, I just view the cached version.

You can also use the cached version by clicking on the 3 vertical dots next to a search result. Don’t think it gives Reddit any hits.

I didn’t even know I can Ctrl + arrow keys to move from word to word and I have been using computers for over 20 years …

I feel people like Musk and Trump are more dangerous in general.

Zuckerberg, Bezos, Gates … etc. are the “traditional” billionaires. They are greedy but most of the time rational thus fairly predictable - you don’t expect them to do anything crazy.

Musk and Trump on the other hand are narcissists. They petty, vindictive, insecure, and have fragile egos. There is no telling what would set them off and how far they will go to get even over a perceived slight.
