No it's definitely there, but you're right that it seems variable by community.

I don't think Lemmy has a particularly more hateful user base than any other site, or than the population in general. However, I think the demographics here mean that the handful of Lemmy users who are hateful tend to be so in the same direction. So if there are two positions for some topic, hate for one position will be more common on Lemmy than the other. This can manifest in many ways.

I suspect there are many others, but I'll talk about the one I've noticed. On some of the Christian communities here on Lemmy, all the posts have been downvoted more than upvoted. Kinda makes me think there are a few people who just downvote every post they see on those communities.

I've seen it here as long as I've been here, it's the main reason why I'm not on here much anymore. First time I noticed it was when I went looking for Christian communities here and found nearly every post was getting more downvotes than upvotes. Kinda seems like there are a few on this platform who enjoy downvoting people just for being Christians - and those people outnumber those interested in actual conversation on those communities.

So why is Lemmy like this? I dunno, I can only speculate.

I wonder how many people actually have a problem with this. Very few I'd suspect. Zelensky still seems popular within Ukraine, and I think most would agree that this isn't a good time for a change in leadership. Plus elections are expensive and nobody in the occupied space would be able to vote. Yeah I think this was the right call.

This is a joke, right? This feels like a very dumb solution. I don't know much about UTF-8 encoding, but it sounds like Roman characters can be encoded shorter than most or all others because of a shorthand that assumes Roman characters. In that case, why not take that functionality and let a UTF-8 block specify which language makes up most of the text so that you can have that savings almost every time? I don't see why one would want it to be random.

I'd like to hear the story of how we found out.

Wait...is Independence Day a lie? We still are ruled by aliens?

I love both. Am I allowed to critique both or neither? OR or XOR?

The end of the article seems to say as much. However, it seems the Vkd3d developers are trying to improve what they can.

There's a giant ball of extremely hot plasma in the sky and we aren't supposed to look at it. What is it hiding? Surely if someone managed to look at it long enough, they would see the truth!

This is your hourly reminder that Brave is still Chromium and still contributes to Google's influence over internet standards.

My workplace does simulated phishing emails every Friday. If you click on them, they make you do training. Last month, someone's email was breached and they started sending out tons of phishing emails, the users reported it en masse and we had dozens of reports within minutes - and these emails went out at 10PM on a weekend! Seems like our training works.

Was this a thought you had in the shower, or a thought you had about showers?

Also, the pipe carrying water to the showerhead isn't a wire or cord, and therefore every showerhead is wireless.
