Pretty much the title: I see multiple posts on 3-day old accounts, all promoting disinfo for the RUS, ISR, CHI or some weirdo faction thereof. CanI set a filter on my account to ignore these prolific bastards until they have attained certain age or number of responses that exceed the AI 's smarmy word count?

    Lemmy puts a lot more work on the user to tailor their experience than Reddit does, and that can be a very bad experience for most people that just want to laugh at memes

    You’re right about this and I feel like I’m in the minority of people that are willing to spend a bit of time and effort to get something to work exactly how they want… similar to Windows/Linux

      Instance admins and mods are not really any different from the ones on Reddit. They’re still not immune to power tripping, and I have had to leave some communities and an entire instance that was suffering from that.

      Indeed, but the difference is the ability for a community to walk away to another instance. You see that regularly, and that’s a good thing

      It is certainly a minority. As a side note, most people these days prefer to buy a pre-built PC for more than deal with buying parts individually and assembling it themselves for significantly less money.

      I know someone that decided they wanted to try buying parts and assembling a new PC for the first time ever, and when their motherboard arrived cracked they decided to return everything and buy another pre-built instead of just RMA’ing the motherboard. Cost difference of like $800USD for a worse machine because they didn’t have the patience to RMA a motherboard. Its literally so easy to assemble a computer, but because they didn’t get it exactly right on the first go they have given up on it and will never do it again.

      What’s wrong with people? What happened?
