DISCLAIMER: I don't respond to rude, snarky, or otherwise immature and mean-spirited replies. I block and ignore. Adults who want to engage with me in a mature and civil manner (even if we happen to disagree on a topic) are always welcome.

  • Why am I getting downvoted

    Jump

  • You can easily make it so that you never see any downvotes via the Lemmy settings. Or, you can move to a Lemmy instance that doesn't allow downvoting.

  • Facebook recipe organizer

    Jump

  • Copy/paste them into your favorite notes program (I love UpNote - and it has both desktop and mobile versions) so you can organize and have quick access to them whenever you want. Easy peasy.

  • (drama) Found myself stuck in a love triangle mess between two coworkers, what should I do?

    Jump

  • I agree that our conversation was perfectly civil (which I appreciate). I did delete my posts as I didn't feel like my opinion was appreciated in this area. No hard feelings whatsoever.

  • What do people get out of being hateful online?

    Jump

  • There are a lot of reasons for this. Some people never learned how to manage their emotions or how to disagree in a mature manner. A lot of people feel frustrated, angry and powerless in their everyday lives, so being nasty to others online provides a weird sort of catharsis for them. Others simply never acquired the necessary social skills to successfully function in society to any significant degree. Still others are narcissists who derive feelings of power from making others feel small. The list goes on and on.

  • Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency

    Jump

  • Correction: All it takes is for enough apathy from the people to allow such treason to exist in the first place. You get what you give.

  • Discord’s new blog post shouldn’t change your mind on them at all.

    Jump

  • Requested (and received) all of my data last week, then promptly cancelled my account. I know I'm going to miss out on all of the communities that still decide to stay on Discord - but that says far more about THEM than it does about ME.

  • Are any TTRPG communities migrating to Matrix?

  • I'm a big fan of the Cypher System by Monte Cook, personally. However Call of Cthulhu (at least the mythos) is also near and dear to me. Truth be told, I haven't had a gaming group for a while now, so I'm sure there are tons of great games out there that I haven't even heard of.

    As for voice chat and push-to-talk - it's not a limitation of the Matrix protocol (as far as I know), but none of the Matrix clients have this feature. Trust me. I've looked. And looked. And looked. ;)

  • Sounds interesting! What game system? Back when I still had a gaming group, I used Discord for voice chat. Matrix voice chat works well, but lacks push-to-talk functionality, though (which is an annoyance for me, personally).

  • What is the point of down vote spamming?

    Jump

  • I'm not really sure, either. Do some Lemmy clients curate what's in your feed based upon votes? If that's the case, I can see people trying to manipulate that...

  • What is the term for using positive rhetoric to cover up negative actions or behavior?

    Jump

  • No, really the best example I can give is the one I've already made about the racist neighbor. If there isn't a term for this sort of behavior, there needs to be one.

  • What is the term for using positive rhetoric to cover up negative actions or behavior?

    Jump

  • Both of those terms are accurate to what I'm describing. It's like racist neighbors finding everything wrong with the upkeep of your house or how much noise your kids are making just to cover up the fact that they don't want to live next to someone of color.

  • What is the term for using positive rhetoric to cover up negative actions or behavior?

    Jump

  • I've not heard of 'sanewashing' before. That's an interesting one. It may be 'gaslighting', but I'm not sure. A fictional example of what I'm talking about would be the guy who dates a woman to get closer to her sister. Or Homer Simpson buying a bowling ball for Marge Simpson's birthday and saying 'Well, if you don't want it, I know someone who could really, really use it....' :D

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

  • YSK that Politico is a subsidiary of Axel Springer, a right-wing propaganda house

    Jump

  • This is a fantastic resource to answer that very question, and I rely on it quite a lot: Media Bias Fact Check

  • I've tested three free Discord alternatives in a desperate attempt not to offer up my personal data just to talk to my favorite weirdos

    Jump

  • Yeah, Signal isn't specifically targeted toward gamers, so it lacks some features in that regard. However, most of the 'gamer' features it's missing are things that I never - or rarely - use, anyway. Simplicity, functionality, stability, privacy and security are my primary concerns with a Discord alternative (Discord itself failing at almost all of these spectacularly). Signal just does it better than all the others that I've looked at, imho.
