I can't figure out where all the lemmy people posting about reddits "power tripping power mods" were posting. I think I ran across one mod in the wild (niche sub) that I thought was crazy and they got run off the platform eventually. What were people posting that they were getting banned all over the place? Maybe the mods weren't the problem if multiple were banning you?

As long as the thing they don't like about your face isn't it's color. But seriously American employment laws (in most states) allow for companies to fire people for any non-protected reason (protected reason = gender, race, age, etc). If a co.pany does illegally fire a person it can be a real up hill battle to prove it because at-will is so permissive.

I can't say a firing like this one sits super well with me personally but it's almost certainly legal.

If Fast and Furious has a 29% score then RT isn't a good indicator of movies. They don't keep making those movies because they arent popular. That whole franchise is basically printing money.

PA can be fairly cold expect snow and ice every year. It does snow in Virginia as well but I can tell you it's on average atleast 10 degrees warmer in VA vs PA year round. (Lived in both areas). Virginia is wetter (and far more humid than CA) and has more hills since Appalachia cuts right through a lot of the western part of the state. If you don't like the outdoors I'd suggest eastern Virginia. If you like the outdoors western Virginia is great for outdoor activity (hit or miss on things like high speed internet, research any specific towns your interested in out there.) One thing I will say is that Virginia is NOT blue. But then Scranton is probably considered the beginnings of Pennsyltucky too.

Honestly the customer doesn't even have to dislike the shirt. It's incredible the lack of rights that Americans have in the workplace. Especially when we also have very weak safety nets in place for people who are out of work.

Isn't the appeal of in-n-out the lower price point compared to other fast food burger places, rather than the options or stellar flavor? 5 guys is way more expensive and the customization/taste reflects that.

It think they're mad because some of them already paid for a year and the awards and gold were part of why they got premium. Now awards and fold are disappearing mid-september and they feel they aren't getting what they paid for anymore.

So some Asian cultures do eat jellyfish. Maybe this is a gotcha question or maybe it's just someone coming from a less eurocentric background.

Im not sure its so much learned helplessness as, and I know this will be an unpopular opinion here, I don't want to understand how it all works behind the scenes. I don't care how lemmy is like email, I don't care if mastodon can see me if I can't see them, I don't want to have to know the differences between what version/update my instance vs app is using, etc...I could learn all that, I just dont want to have too, but I probably qualify as part of the "normie masses".

Thanks for the link! I got on Reddit right before the switch to new reddit so I never really used old reddit. Im ~~gonna~~

I appreciate you saying that your lost cause I also find lemmy confusing and it seems like most people here are very tech savvy. Makes me feel a little less out of place.

I could never be confused as someone whose good with tech. I have a job where knowing basic excel makes you the resident tech genius we all go to for help. I can confirm that I do find lemmy complicated.

  1. It was intimidating to pick an instance (and everyone aggressively insisting it "doesn't matter what instance you join because -long droning tech speech-" only made it worse).
  2. This is numbered cause I can't figure out how to do bullet points on mobile...that is how out of place on lemmy I am
  3. I wish the default was all and not my local instance for my home screen. That makes it harder and more complicated for me to navigate around or see popular posts. Oh shit I think I just figured out how to do italics!!!
  4. I'm mostly just here because I like the cozy community feeling. That's enough for me to put up with stumbling around the site next to blind just clicking on stuff and hoping for the best (I accidently ended up scrolling a sub that was all in Germany yesterday, no idea how I got there)...but I don't blame most non-tech people for not wanting to do that. To get most people you'd need to dumb the "fediverse" down to the point most current users would be furious and start talking about enshitification again.

Seriously. I never want to hear how hard it is to mod a subreddit with existing mod tools again. They've rolled over for spez (which is their right) and they don't get to complain about it anymore.
