My first thought is always “Must be Nicole the Fediverse chick again” 😂
Find hot Nicoles in your local Fediverse!
I just got her message this morning! 😂
She never talks to me anymore after that one night…
Man what am I doing wrong? Still nothing from her. Oh well. She’s probably too good for me anyways :,(
I just assume I said something factually wrong and now dozens of helpful people are lining up to correct me.

Absolutely!
Honestly, I’ve tried dual booting Linux lately. I’m on mint. Even after weeks of setting things up, I’m constantly running into issues. Particularly with drivers and such. Also, the gaming has come a long way, but the games I play don’t run as well on my current linux setup.
I haven’t given up on it yet. Even though all the bs I put up with in windows, it works better for me at the moment.
Often followed by, “I said that?”
Then you read your original comment and, no, you didn’t say that; someone’s just trying to gaslight you or they’re straw manning.
Or they keep explaining what you already said because they don’t understand nuance or context.
Or your take is just fucking bad and your ego won’t let you admit it, one of the two.
Speak for yourself.
I did. I’m always right, we’re talking about you and your bad takes (the ones I don’t agree with)
I know what I said, y’all’s angst feeds me.
This would all be easier if you all just agreed with me, the always correct person.
I might not always be right, but I’m never wrong
If I’m ever wrong. I delete that comment and pretend it didn’t happen. Or if someone actually makes a good counter argument I just go “meh, don’t feel like replying” and leave them unread. I do the worst crime. I’ll be 10 replies in and I won’t even downvote their last comment to let them know I read it. I’m sure it’s infuriating.
I’d agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong.
Me is, how stoned was I.
Usually means you got featured on hexbear
what’s hexbear
When you had hex with a bear last night but can’t remember.
Since there’s no serious answer: hexbear is a highly toxic instance that has been defederated by most other instances. However, their users will keep tabs on what’s said on other instances, and they’ll occasionally show up en masse with alt accounts to attack something that particularly enraged them.
Many of them are…not quite mentally stable.
They’re probably the single largest base of tankie support. For them, America = bad, and anyone opposed to America = good. They pretend to care about communism etc but they’re really just anti-American. Saying anything negative about China gets you instantly banned.
You are a disingenuous liar.
Go to the hexbear news megathread and you will find criticism of China:
There are many Chinese hexbear users that discuss the flaws of their country, people that are banned are those that spread misinformation.
Of course the United States = bad there is no modern equivalent to the outsourcing of death, despair, and destruction the great satan exports.
lemmy.world “preemptively defederated as a last resort” you can find their reasoning here: https://lemmy.world/post/2498330 sounds like lemmy.world wants an echo-chamber yet despite whinging about “brigades” there has never been any actual proof that brigades are organized.
hexbear defederated FROM sh.itjust.works, lemmy.ca, lemmy.blahaj.zone, programming.dev, lemmy.nz, aussie.zone because those instances were NOT moderating to the standard that hexbear places on cultivating a space for marginilzied people.
Who are you to judge the mental stability of people when you constantly project your insecurities on to those seeking a better future.
that is the limp dickiest ‘criticism’ i’ve ever seen. please go back to your tankie instance.
no need to display your homophobia and i will stay right here. it took me minutes to easily disprove the “any criticism of China = ban” I’m sure anyone who as any intellectual curiosity will see that you are hypocritical swine that wallow in your treats to distract from your exploitation.
why are you so afraid of hexbear?
Wow, case in point.
yes, you and the two others have proven that if anyone “brigades” it is dronies
how do you not feel shame for your rampant consumption and utter lack of critical thinking?
while you cry to each other about the other China has built more renewable energy than the west combined
If you don’t know, count yourself hella lucky and move on with your day.
What does your uid signify?
It’s the sexy new British emergency number lol
First laugh of the morning, thank you!
An instance for Marxists and Anarchists.
A fictional entity used by right wingers on Lemmy to victimize themselves.
Are you literally claiming hexbear doesn’t exist?
That’s a new one
I cannot see Hexbear and it has zero impact on my life.
When right wingers are wrong they like screeching about Hexbear. That is what Hexbear is for Lemmy.World users. such as ourselves.
You yourself are on Lemmy.World which begs the question why you are so obsessed with Hexbear.
Hexbear is left wingers, so they say. Just vehemently anti American. Russia is their ultimate hero. It’s co.pletely contradictory. Saw one today arguing that Alexis Nolvany was a secret Nazi and got himself killed. And God damn, do they hate Vladimir Zelensky; he’s a Nazi dictator despite being popularly elected in an election that all observers found free and fair, and despite living a fairly modest lifestyle; and that’s in contrast to Putin, despite Putin living in multiple billion dollar secret bunker mansions guarded by the military and being president for life thanks to what all international observers agree are sham elections.
Navalny the guy who called Muslims cockroaches to be exterminated? Yeah that guy was a Nazi. Zelensky probably not.
Putin can be bad and Navalny can be a Nazi at the same time. Somehow this is impossible to get through liberal heads.
A bunch are usually people disagreeing and making up situations to make themselves right… i.e., you posit that the sky appeared blue when you went outside today, the replies are: not if it’s night, not during cloudy days, etc. and at least one that sounds like they disagree but are reiterating what you just said.
I’ve made this observation before, but the funniest thing about Lemmy is that !ShowerThoughts posts elicit more controversy than !UnpopularOpinion. Like, someone posts “I love pineapple on pizza” in !ShowerThoughts, and it’s downvoted to hell with people writing long essays about how pineapple on pizza is justification for bringing back shock treatment. The same thing posted to !UnpopularOpinion brings out a mob of people saying how not unpopular an opinion that is, quoting statistics about how Hawaiian Pizza is the most popular pizza in America. It’s absolutely hilarious, and one of the few areas where the Lemmy community is truly contrarian just for contrarian’s sake.
With the exception of populations of some instances which I won’t hex by bearishly naming, and a few individually excessive dicks (or trolls, but I think most are really just assholes), the Lemmy community tends to argue in good faith, admit when they’re wrong or have had their minds changed, and are generally polite netizens in most exchanges. But !ShowerThoughts and !UnpopularOpinion just being out the contrarian in people, for some reason.
people writing long essays about how pineapple on pizza is justification for bringing back shock treatment.
I’m here for the essays. To read them…and to write them.
Have to get it out of my brain.
Unpopular opinion is just posting things that plenty of people actually agree with. Like pineapple pizza. An actual unpopular opinion would be something like agreeing with restricting abortion or something difficult that elicits very strong feelings.
But do we really believe the posters think what they’re posting is a popular opinion? Maybe they really think it’s unpopular, because of their IRL experiences, or what they see online.
I think it’s because people know what’s unpopular, but the heavy stuff, they don’t want to be associated with. So they choose milquetoast unpopular opinions, which aren’t really unpopular as much as maybe a minority. Like, a majority of voters voted for Trump, but thinking Kamala would have been better isn’t unpopular, it was just the minority opinion among people who got their fat assess out and voted.
Now, saying “only white, biologically born males should be allowed to vote” would be a truly unpopular opinion, but although there are absolutely more than zero people on Lemmy who believe this, no way in hell they’re going to post that.
So people stay with “safe” unpopular opinions, like… “NYC is the ugliest city I’ve ever seen.” Sure, you’ll learn some new insults from the responses, but nobody’s going to troll through your post history and throw it in your face in every argument, or follow you around and downvote everything you post because of it. Ok, maybe some New Yorkers will do the latter, but you know what I mean.
Consequently, because they’re just minority and not truly unpopular, all of the people who agree come out of the woodwork, incensed that this entirely reasonable opinion would be posted a being “unpopular.”
Thank you for coming to my Ted-L talk.

That’s pretty much it as far as the /comm goes.
How do I post a photo in comments? New here due to Reddit ban.
You’re asking the wrong person. Due either to my client, or my instance, I get, like, a 20% success rate on attaching images. Most of the time I get an error.
On my client, there’s a little picture icon. When I click that, it lets me select a picture and, if the wind is blowing in the right direction and the stars align, the picture is embedded. Otherwise, I upload to catbox.moe and manually embed the URL. The markdown syntax for an embedded image is:
On desktop, you can just paste it.
You can do markdown, so
i usually just have the picture in my clipboard and then ctrl+v. it should be uploaded and the markdown link added for you
I love your username, my WiFi name is prettyflyforawifi
Appreciate it. I’m on mobile, but I think I figure it out.
I use Jerboa client on Android. It feels very much like the Reddit is Fun app.
There are rich text buttons at the bottom of the new post field. One is a photo icon, click that and it takes you to your photo/file browser to select a pic.
Here’s a pic I took of Earth’s bff, la Luna.
Most of the time I know exactly what I’m getting if I see more than maybe 3+ comments. Usually it’s me saying something anti-communist, something on brand enough for me.

This is my primary use of reddit.
Late night shitposting, i instantly forget, and seeing lots of interesting comments in the morning.
Look at all these replies! I can’t wait to tell all these internet randos how wrong they are!
How wrong am I?
Half the time you just have to say “Fuck Tankies” or “Vote DNC” and you’ll get 4, 10, or even 20 of the most cookie cutter responses you’ve ever seen in your life.
True dat mate.
