Really gitlab went down the niche client path and no longer is a non Microsoft alternative? Sadge, at least I know about codeberg now.

Because China has to do with communism as much as democratic people republic of Korea has to do with democracy.

I assume the more money they spend on advertising the more dubious and low quality they are, this seems to be the case most of the time I see ads for almost any product. Might as well be a red flag at this point.

hackernews has some good discussions and the source is right there. I see it as a bonus, if it was reddit I would feel differently.

Communism isn't the issue the same way Capitalism isn't the issue, the issue is rich people abusing working class and poor people. Removing democracy from these systems just make them absolutely horrid in the long run. Also China isn't communist it's state capitalist dictatorship.

The hard part of math isn't understanding esoteric symbols it's the theory behind it and it's application. Number theory will mindbreak almost all people.

True but you don't really mindlessly scroll through those communities, you mostly go on r/all or other popular communities for that. I used to watch a ton of content on r/videos but then some days I would scroll through the front page and just not find anything relatable to me. I joined the site pretty early, like back when it was mostly tech people. So to me the site got worse content wise but if that was the worst of it I could of accepted just hanging out in niche subs.

I just visited r/all and mostly just found American politics and low effort content. It's just not for me personally.

The thing with reddit is you would scroll and scroll and not find anything interesting, just little blips of dopamine in sea of inane content. I don't like everything posted on lemmy but I find it far higher quality overall.

I think we can handle these things on a per case bases no? That is just adding another roadblock in having someone interact with the community. If it becomes a problem where someone spams these then yeah I can see the issue.
