OMG yes. I left the Linux community a couple of months ago and my mental health improved almost immediately. I still use Linux; just left the community.

Just Peertube. I've been orphaned from my Mastodon instance and I don't think I'm going to sign up for another one.
I mainly use Llama-3-8B abliterated for everyday questions, and DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite for programming/Linux stuff.
I agree. I live in the US, and while I love my country, the current situation shows how bad it is to have 1 giant player who influences everyone else.
I'm in favor of consolidating things away from lemmy.world. No offense to that instance, but centralization is a threat to the fediverse.
Those results are pretty promising. Sadly, my country would never go for it.
I hate it too. I'm a bit of a slow talker, so it happened to me a lot.
My pet peeve is people downvoting in communities they aren't subscribed to about posts they aren't interested in. They just sort by new, and when they see something they don't like, they smash that downvote button without even looking at the post or contents.
Part of it is because we all have unlimited votes; people vote without thinking. It would be different if everyone had a finite number of votes to use. And you get awarded a few votes for making a comment or post. Maybe award extra votes for commenting in small communities.
This would serve 2 purposes. 1.) People would use their votes a lot more thoughtfully. 2.) It would encourage people to comment and post more.
The downside is that someone could set up a bot to spam posts and comments into a dead community just to rack up votes.
Newsflash! US no longer has a monopoly on stock photos of worried looking traders. South Korea ups the ante with a much cooler trading floor and 60% sexier traders. 😍
No, I just don't enjoy watching people be toxic to other people, then ending their comments with "LMFAO" to top it off.
