Weird 🤔

I think reading the news all the time just makes people angry.

Fucking nailed it.
- Damn it Jesus

The rules are simple:

Don’t be a communist
Don’t be not a communist
If you have a car, do not talk about it

If you follow those easy steps you should be fine

Don't not hate Capitalism, even as a joke.
Don't post anything a child can't understand.
- Don't admit you use Windows
  Don't talk about any browser other than Firefox, Librewolf or a spinoff
  Linux, Linux, Linux.
  
  I always poke those bears.
  "Linux isn't an OS, but you GNU that." Haha, gets 'em every time.
  
  Don’t talk about any browser other than Firefox, Librewolf or a spinoff
  This. I dared to say that I like Brave and I vehemently hate Mozilla and... Oh, boy...
  
  Hanging at dawn then?
  I try to use Firefox and Librewolf as much as I can, but the fact is that I'm a student and the websites my school uses for certain classes do not work on Firefox/Librewolf. I've also run into issues with certain other websites not running right and then when I switch to a chromium browser everything is fine. I don't have the knowledge to properly troubleshoot if the problem is on my end or just a shitty website, so it's just easier to use Brave when I need it.
- Don’t not hate Capitalism, even as a joke.
  That's my problem
  
  You should see my last post, oof.
  
  It's inherently wrong, lest you meant the fallacy was replacing with the new words
- I know these are meant to be funny but double negatives always piss me off so much. Like they are literally useless and make parsing the sentence for meaning harder because they add a bunch of noise in front what you are actually saying.
  
  Rule 5.
  
  Lol. I broke the rule, I deserve the punishment.
  
  "Don't like Capitalism, even as a joke."
  
  Yes, I broke rule 5.
  
  Serious answer: that doesn't say what I said. My statement has no state where "liking capitalism" is an option. If someone says, I hate capitalism because X, and you say X is wrong because funny reason, you're not saying "I like capitalism because funny reason".
The car thing is insane, even when you explain that you live in as regional area with limited options AND that I can drive to work in 20mins vs 60mins on public transport, you still get yelled at.
- The sane ones make a decent point about infrastructure (I'm definitely anti-car).
  Blaming the individual for the lack of realistic options provided by the government is pretty nuts.
  
  I'm in regional Australia, it's unrealistic to ever expect public transport to overtake private transport, we're too spread out.
  I minimise my driving, but I couldn't survive without my own car, it's not a black and white issue.
  
  Sure. I get that. Where I get kinda confused by some people (not blaming you for this!) is when the extrapolation comes out. "We need cars to cross this massive gap between cities, and that's why we shouldn't build this tram line in the middle of this densely populated city". Similarly, just because I think we should (talking about the EU here) make big investments into rail and ban short-haul flights, that doesn't mean I don't see the value in transatlantic flights.
  Sorry for venting, Romania's a shithole when it comes to cars compared to the rest of the EU.
  
  If you replace "cities" with "rural towns" you might have a better understanding of why we still need cars in regional areas.
  Australia is HUGE, the rural towns are far apart and have low populations.
  You can't run a bus/train every 10-20mins for 3 people, you run a bus/train ever 2hrs for 40 people, and they'll never change.
  I'm all for accessible cities, for those that want to live in them, but you'll never get me away from my quiet rural life on the edge of regional centre. The reality is the transport in my town of 40,000 people has an insignificant impact on the environment compared Sydney, for example, with +5,000,000 people.
  
  I do get that for some situations and regions, cars are immensely valuable. I also could not agree more about the difference in environmental impact between dense, populous cities where everyone has a car and small rural towns where everyone has a car. That should be pretty self-evident.
  All I was trying to say is that here in Bucharest you have some idiots that talk about cars and their necessity as if we're in the Australian outback, where no alternative could ever be possible.
- Just check the 15min-Town idea created in France.
  We must realize that most actually town-concepts and public transport are build to seduce you to buy a car. (Mostly in western countries, where the car industry is one of the main successors.)
  Oh the market is 40 min away and outside of the town and the bus only drives every two hours, well better buy a car or get lost.
  Back to the 15-min Town, the concept is, there is everything you need for living (market, doctor, schools etc.) in an area you can reach in 15 min without a car.
  
  Australia, 7.8M Km², 26M people.
  France, 0.5M Km², 65M people.
  You can't compare rural France and rural Australia, the cities sure, build your 15min cities anywhere the population density suits it, but it doesn't work in regional Australia.
You forgot "Don't mention you use Windows" and "Don't say you don't especially bother about privacy"
Don't ever dare speak of veganism ever or you'll be faced with a bunch of "muh bacon"-comments
Does anyone else drive a Tesla?
- last time i checked, Tesla only makes cars (transportation wise)
  
  I'm sure the robotaxi will be here any day now

Instead of a random asshole from /r/conservative, it’s a random asshole from hexbear.net.

It's no different than reddit.

Small community: friendly and welcoming

Large community: shitty teenagers

It's way worse

Depends on the instance. Lemmy world has gotten pretty bad, but Beehaw for instance (no pun intended) remains great.

Idk what to say in Beehaw form but I heard they hate communists, maybe because of lemmingrad, I totally understand the position but for me is no go.
- If you think the anti-communist sentiment on Beehaw is too strong I'm not sure what you're doing on lemmy.world.
  
  If you think anti-communist sentiment on lemmy.world is too strong you might be a tankie. I think you'll find it's anti-authoritarianism.
  
  Now you're putting words in my mouth. I'm replying to someone who appears to find Beehaw too anti-communist, while being on lemmy.world, which is on average significantly further right and as a rule a lot more hostile towards communism.
  
  Well, as I said above, news and World News are aberrations to me, but I never saw beehaw discussions actually, I just heard a gossip and became biased.

Oh, you haven't been to a socialist community yet? I won't ruin the surprise...
