I posted [link]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYP8-oxq8ig&t=1s) to 1960 presidential debate on Digg with the title: "1960 presidential debate. No interruptions, no insulting, no screaming, just two gentelmen having civilized discussion.". It got some likes but some comments are wild.

It almost looks like there are certain keywords that when their ears and brains detect, there is some trigger which causes brain areas responsible for logic and rationality to shut down.

And another thought I just had that i find interesting , is that it looks like there is plenty of white Americans, that shit on their own country because of slavery, but there is very small number of Germans that do the same because of WW2. Leftist Germans don't hate their own country because of war attrocities, they focus their energy on stuff like LGBT, immigrant rights etc. I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that in war mainly white people were killed. Concetnration camps killed 3 million Jews and 3 million Poles. As bad as it sounds that leads to conclusion that nowadays white person has less "value" for these people, and what's craziest it looks like that agenda is pushed by whites themselves as well.

In such moments I'm glad I was born in Poland and that Poland had nothing to do with slavery and was on the good side in world wars. We don't have any internal guilt feelings sitting on shoulders that I'm sure is the case for some Americans or western Europeans.

 

Seriously, the pace of lemmy development is like russian frontline progress in Ukraine. Maybe something is up here considering devs are most likely Russians.

Have we had any serious updates in last year? I don't recall tbh. UI is the same, funcionalities are the same. Usability still is garbage, users are confused. I'm confused, although I'm over a year on lemmy. I only use my own instance because interactions with the rest of fediverse is confusing as f**.

Checking up https://fedidb.com/ and https://fediverse.observer/stats confirms that. Fedidb even stopped showing charts, I assume because it looks bad othwerwise they would proudly present the growth. Observer shows us that total number is going up, but it looks like folks just quickly check and leave cause number of active users is still the same.

Guy that entusiastically regularly posted weekly fediverse updates here https://fediversereport.com/fediverse-report-122/ stopped doing that 3 months ago. Posted for over 2 years and suddenly no message from him.
