Nothing, cause I’d rather choose what to ignore on the fly rather than creating the same bubble I get stuck in on every other social media platform.

Well, thats one positive anecdote.

Here’s some negatives:

Everyone I know with a Samsung appliance has had a poor experience with it.

Why are they still popular? Why are people still buying them? Every product review gives major faults too (like catching fire!) and people are like “8/10 because I managed to put it out before by house burnt down”.

Meanwhile other brands are crucified for the finish song being too loud, or the door feeling plastic, or some other inane reasoning.

tl/dr: The average person will be very reluctant to use Lemmy.

Sounds like a positive to me.

I don’t know if I trust the average person anymore.

Dunno about the person I was replying to, but I was assuming they were lazy. And potentially stupid, but mostly the laziness was the critique.

“Oh no, I clicked the button and it didn’t do what I thought it would. Oh well, I give up! My time is too precious to try any sort of critical thinking. I’ll just post on reddit instead. Updoots to the left, thanks for the gold kind stranger. Dopamine boost achieved.”

I love how Whirlpool has stuck to it’s guns with regards to staying text only.

It survived a world of phpbb, avatars, and animated GIFS and is now surviving a world of social media and “engagement”. It’s like Usenet with moderation and no binaries.

Helps that it’s fast as blazes too.

TIL that expecting a tiny slither of effort from participants is “elitist”

We’re on Lemmy. We are Lamingtons.
