I really despise these sorts of things as while sure, we should be looking for ways to be more efficient with our energy use, but any focus on this issue is time spent not focusing on the really BIG polluters that matter. We could pour all our time into making generative AI more efficient, but in the meanwhile all other sources continue or as has been the case, grow.
I have not found that too be true. In fact I am getting more negative replies here than Reddit for similar comments. Like I just had one linking me to the whataboutism definition, but my comment they were replying too was the opposite. Unsure if a dumb bot triggered on a keyword or a person who didn’t understand the definition they sent. Been lots of little micro aggressions here. Wonder if the crowd or AI a grouping is using to sour the experience.
I mean all it takes is to read this comment from you and then your post history to realize who you are. Name calling is just an emotional reaction and not discourse.
For me it was Jeff Kinney. I was meeting a different author I love, but there wasn’t enough room downstairs and we had to go up. Turns out that’s exactly where Jeff Kinney works! He’s the author who got me into reading so I thought that was so cool
Climate is fucked, animals continue to go extinct even more, our money will be worth nothing the coming years… What motivation do I even have to care to keep going? The world is ran and basically owned by corrupt rich people, there’s poverty, war, etc. It makes me sick to my stomach the way to world is. So I ask, why bother...
I think it has always been like this. We have always been on the edge of progress or total destruction. You may want to watch the Oppenheimer movie as the fears we have now about end of the world, were the same then, maybe even worse.
Throughout history people have worried about the end and while they are not wrong to have concern as there are just so many vectors to take us out, some self inflicted, we have survives and thrived. Fearing the doom scenario seems normal but we have been doing for so long despite doing so well on so many key metrics overall that I think this reality needs to be the focus. Although, I did read a paper once that said worry is just mother-natures way of ensuring we avoid bad things by making them uncomfortable. Maybe we all need to lean into the uncomfortableness as it will come to us sooner than later anyways.

Hi all! I used to be a daily r/selfhosted lurker and a bit active user. Since the Reddit saga I thought that r/selfhosted would be one of the first and bigger community to move to Lemmy due to the IT knowledge of all of their users and the sensitivity about self host/privacy/open source, but I see that not only the community is...
Maybe Lemmy is attracting old meme people and content consumers and not content creators as much. The main. Feed is 90% memes and near useless unfortunately. It is for sure turning to dismiss it as not a serious Reddit alternative.
No need to get salty. I am just pointing out what first impressions are as when you are new you have no subscriptions yet and that means you are looking at the main feed which is 90% memes. If we cannot be open to criticism here, this community will struggle to grow. Especially of others are hostile.
I just realized that lemmy doesn’t have karma like reddit. I’ve never paid much attention to karma. But even so it does seem to play an important role in moderation on reddit....
That is odd. I think there is a Memmy community to report such things. I am on an iPhone 14 Pro and have no such bug so I am assuming this is a device specific thing?

I don’t think the Fediverse will become mainstream. But I’m actually happy about that. And so should you.
Who is the most famous person you've ever met?

With the way the world's going, is there even a point to anything anymore?
