What do you mean, they are helping? And how is it related to AI?

I can’t believe I’m arguing about whether there are people that should be killed or not. Of course not! Killing oil executives is not the only way to stop fossil fuel from being used. You’re a bad person if you’re seriously proposing this.

Shouldn’t be killed

Is this regarding lead pipes in homes? Or are some pipes of whole neighbourhoods or cities also still made of lead?

Mass shootings are never a solution, also not in C-suites. I don’t think anyone should be ‘taken out’.

Now I understand. Thank you. I’ll try and be less individualistic, I’m sure I can think of a way.

Woah, slow down. Many, many, many people work for governments. Most are good people.

Alright, I thought you might know. But thank you for explaining what a listing is.

And.. why would you need to post a link to a listing there to win? Why would that qualify you?

Unrelated question, how does Piefed differ from Lemmy? Is it designed to exist alongside Lemmy, or is it a better alternative somehow?

Windows isn’t even that good. The OS is kind of a huge mess. It has two unfortunate advantages though: it’s the default on many devices, and (because of that) software availability is best. I wish it wasn’t the case.

Is this happening on Lemmy? I haven’t seen it

The Fediverse is like a rainforest. It's a lush, vibrant, and chaotic ecosystem with thousands of different food chains and micro-ecosystems within it. There are large fires and die offs sometimes, but new things grow out of them, and every part of the system is interconnected with other parts. Proprietary social media platforms like FB, Insta, Xitter, etc. Are like a curated garden, where a small team of gardeners wall off a section of land, pick what kinds of plants are allowed to grow, and kill off anything else that they don't want in there.
I really, really like this analogy. I spend my time in the online jungle!

How to prevent those people from joining? I don’t think you can.
On the other hand, Reddit communities never got that terrible, right? Not all of them at least - it’s more that the platform turned to shit. Lemmy prevents that from happening. The concept of communities moderating themselves seems to work pretty well.
