First time I ever see someone legitimately use that thing on the left. Here’s hoping you’re not using it in a way that liquefies your brain.

You have a new account so I’ll assume you’re new to Lemmy and I’ll give you a heads up that most of the people here are horrified by the effects of slop generation on the state of communication, information retrieval, work culture, and art/graphic design. And they’re on a fringe network in part to get away from it among other things on the big platforms. I’m sure most people here who read what’s on your screen thought “huh an actually useful way to do this good for them”.

    I scrolled around to find it. It’s an awful thing for someone to use as a catty quip but you really picked one of the worst things to post as a first experience given the culture here, not your fault. You actually made your case just fine, you could have said “it’s a voice controlled PDA that lets me use my phone less, I don’t ask it questions” and 99% of users would have been like neat.

    Part of me wants to say don’t use the internet at all if you can’t ignore such an insignificant and offhandedly rude comment, if 100 people see your post you must assume at least one will be a combative cunt. Copypasta replies won’t endear you to most users either.

    If you can handle unapologetic leftist politics you might come to find that Lemmy on average has slightly higher quality and less mean spirited comments, it’s funny that this was your first experience. Enjoy your time on the community space not designed to sell you crap you don’t need.
