7 comments here in 19 hours, surprised.

I didn’t watch any trailers or advertising. one thing I like about TV series is you have a sense of quality before the ending. This has been an excellent story. Just surprised how few people were lined up to watch right upon release. A cultural moment.

I “for upvoting homophobic materials”(or “transphonic”,

I believe it. You dehumanized me and attacked me for standing up to Donald Trump / White House in May 2025. You came along to my community and said I was a machine, that I have no soul and no spirit. You have massive morality problems, egomania.

Pathetic losers. And, even “Nazis” if they’re still in the Tesla community.

I see you go all over Lemmy electric media systems communicating in Twitter-length reactions, behaving like Elon Musk X media platform users (and Elon Musk himself) and Donald Trump on social machines like Twitter and Truth Social.

TLDR

“Too long, I can’t read beyond 3 words”

Literacy problems abound, many people can no longer read printed paper books. Neil Postman’s 1985 book “Amusing Ourselves to Death” covers that problem.

What a sad, pathetic waste of time this comment was.

I see you are giving Twitter-length one-line reaction comments at least 4 times so far on this Lemmy posting (“‘Evil is being defeated by God’: Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrates after Pope’s death”). Anything beyond Twitter-thinking length must be too much for your mind right now. I’m sorry you suffer from such literacy problems and egoism, it is very common on Lemmy, Reddit, Bluesky, Twitter that people have such low literacy that they are only able to react in negative ways when they can’t comprehend a topic.

This sort of problem of Twitter-length literacy simple-think “Hate Harder” values and reactions to complexity has even overtaken the White House in January 2025 where I live, the United States of America. It’s a very sad and sick situation I am living under in April 2025 :(

“In America, everyone is entitled to an opinion, and it is certainly useful to have a few when a pollster shows up. But these are opinions of a quite different roder from eighteenth- or nineteenth-century opinions. It is probably more accurate to call them emotions rather than opinions, which would account for the fact that they change from week to week, as the pollsters tell us. What is happening here is that television is altering the meaning of ‘being informed’ by creating a species of information that might properly be called disinformation. I am using this world almost in the precise sense in which it is used by spies in the CIA or KGB. Disinformation does not mean false information. It means misleading information–misplace, irrelevant, fragmented or superficial information–information that creates the illusion of knowing something but which in fact leads one away from knowing. In saying this, I do not mean to imply that television news deliberately aims to deprive Americans of a coherent, contextual understanding of their world. I mean to say that when news is packaged as entertainment, that is the inevitable result. And in saying that the television news show entertains but does not inform, I am saying something far more serious than that we are being deprived of authentic information. I am saying we are losing our sense of what it means to be well informed. Ignorance is always correctable. But what shall we do if we take ignorance to be knowledge?” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985. [email protected]

No, Good Christians know God made Evil and that’s why they’re Satanists

Good literate and understanding Christians know how to read the Bible and understand it is fiction storytelling, as is clearly spelled out. It is not a non-fiction history book. It is science fiction storytelling, very inspiring, like George Lucas Star Wars inspires people.

1. Bible verse John 1:1 - God is language and only language, God is words and only words, God is memes and only memes.

2. Bible verse “1 John 4:20” - how “I love Jesus” is wrong, how “I love God” is wrong, You can not love a fiction character in a story you have never seen, all hate of living human persons is wrong.

3. Bible verse '1 John 4:20" - repeating for emphasis: hate of all living human persons is wrong. Hate is bad.

No, Good Christians know God made Evil and that’s why they’re Satanists

In the Bible storytelling, verse Romans 11:32 - www.Romans1132.org website I created to educate people on this topic - you will see it is plain as day that the story character “God” is the origin of all sins and that all sin is forgiven with mercy.

But ideas beyond Twitter-length mockery and mocking take a little more effort than snark and insults.

The Tower of Babel metaphor of humanity is one of the most important concepts in understanding why people behave the way they do over language usage and differences in interpretation. I created a Lemmy community for you @[email protected] so you can better understand the complexity problems of diverse use of human languages in writing and verbal, electric media communications / media ecology study, and even body languages. Tower of Babel Lemmy community: [email protected]

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) celebrated following the death of Pope Francis on Monday.

I was born in Columbus Georgia and my brother Jeff lives in Georgia currently. There is a serious problem with Bible Literacy. I created a Mastodon electric media platform hashtag hashtag Bible Literacy Crisis on the topic.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was a world-famous preacher in Georgia. We should be helping her better understand how to comprehend the imported Levant Bible storybook and not just using social machines to mock and dehumanize Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“The Baptist Georgia governor won a majority of evangelical Christian voters in the 1976 presidential election. Next time around, those voters had changed sides—for the long haul.” … “Before this sustained propaganda barrage, however, many of those questions had not yet acquired any hard-line partisan or denominational coloration—indeed, in 1973, when the US Supreme Court handed down its decision sanctioning the individual right to abortion, Roe v. Wade, Carter’s own Southern Baptist conference issued a statement supporting the ruling. Instead, Carter became vilified among religious conservatives for several specific policy decisions.”

But democratized tech doesn’t guarantee democratic outcomes.

Far from it. We really need a major confrontation of the audience, information warfare needs to be educated to every single person of every age. Continuing education about science and mythology needs to continue, as people continue to flock to fiction and abandon non-fiction in every area of life.

People just can’t be serious about democracy and LOL and meme away their nation, the USA (where I live), it’s been absolute crisis since 2014.

“Everything in our background has prepared us to know and resist a prison when the gates begin to close around us . . . But what if there are no cries of anguish to be heard? Who is prepared to take arms against a sea of amusements? To whom do we complain, and when, and in what tone of voice, when serious discourse dissolves into giggles? What is the antidote to a culture’s being drained by laughter?” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985

Thank you and good work

Linux community arrogance is to deny the device driver issues and think Apple is fine, when the reason Apple thrives is because they don’t have open hardware like Linux, BSD, Windows…

Hardware companies are rarely held account for their absent support of Linux - some campaigns have come and gone, but in the end Linux users tend to arrogantly say it’s trivial to switch and embrace dishonesty. I guess they figure Microsoft is dishonest, so they normalize it.

Agreed. It is urgent that we teach Neil Postman’s “media ecology”. The junk noise garbage shit Internet sucks, and enough is enough!

Being open source won’t prevent this, sadly. 4 years is still young, but if a critical mass shifts back to Reddit then Lemmy will be considered a failure.

you express very limited understanding of open source and how competition works. Just because Microsoft kept selling Windows and “Linux on the Desktop” never came to displace Windows by 2005, it doesn’t mean Linux on end-user machines was a failure. Android Linux came along and is the biggest Linux distro ever, defeating Windows CE / Windows Mobile.

if a critical mass shifts back to Reddit then Lemmy will be considered a failure.

Again, that is like saying “people looked at Linux on desktop in 2003 and went back to Windows, so Linux was a failure”. Trying to displace entrenched players is often not how it works, it is when people leverage the source code and some parts of the system in different ways - like Android did with Linux - that things often change.

Regarding Reddit specifically, the Reddit code was open source for a very long time, nobody wanted to leave Reddit for different owner/operators… that changed in 2023 when every alternate to Reddit has seen a surge in developer interest (even non-federated apps like Tildes). That’s not really happened in the decades Reddit has been around before that specifically large groups of people and app developers have specifically expressed interest in moving away from Reddit in mass (Voat was the only prior big movement, but API apps were not really a focus in that movement).

By “MySpaced” I mean “become irrelevant”.

8-bit video games stopped selling in the 1990’s, but then in 2023 there is a huge “Retro gaming” and “retro computing” movement. Same with vinyl music records going out of style then coming back in as retro. Right now TikTok and video dominate Reddit front page - which Lemmy hasn’t even been taking on with video clips that reach Reddit’s technology level, let alone TikTok. There are trends of changes that are more than just one platform owners vs. another. Some of those may be in favor like federation/networked servers that Reddit does not have - that even drew the attention of Facebook.

These issues need to be addressed or Lemmy will be MySpaced within a year.

Lemmy is already well over 4 years on the Internet and open source.

How is the Fediverse privacy focused?

Not only have there been major bugs with delete of comments not working on other servers, the whole idea of federation is that it gets sent out to any instance that wants a copy - with not even a ‘terms of service’ that is standard on Lemmy.

For such a communist focus that the Lemmy developers have, I’ts so odd that they don’t emphasize that content is public and have it like Wikipedia content contributions. They use GPL license to force people to share their work of the code, but then they turn around and promise privacy that they fail to deliver on given that they don’t even warn newcomers how federation works.

Lemmy is well over 4 years old.

memes from many sources. And a lot of people created several logins on other instances given all the instability of Lemmy.

A karma system is sounding pretty good right now

lemmy’s code already does it. person_aggregates keeps track of post_score and comment_score. It just isn’t displayed on lemmy-ui. A bot or new code can look at these values.
