🎵 But I’m only human 🎶

I originally switched to Ecosia, loved it. Very identical to Chrome because, well, it’s chromium based. Still a food option, but I wanted to make a full swap.

So I reluctantly tried Vivaldi last week (with Ecosia as a search engine), because that’s 2 major changes to a browser this year, meaning migrating all data and setting stuff up, which is more bothersome than I have patience for under normal circumstances.

Yet, I must say I’m positively surprised by it. Loving Vivaldi so far, and I’m not even using all it has to offer.

I mean, with all the censoring and pandering to Musk, allowing for entire bot swarms to the point it really becomes obvious it’s happening - who could have predicted this?

That’s right, kids. Allying yourself with fascist tendencies in any way, shape or form will hurt you in the long run. Just provide the damn service people are looking for and stop playing god, trying to use your platform to shape opinions and censor statements you or your buddies don’t like.

Guessed as much with the wave of censorship many people, including myself, noticed and shared, pretty much exclusively to anti-MAGA opinions, and regardless of them being constructive and objective.

That, and the increase in bot activity in european and canadian subreddits, to the point it felt there were more pro-MAGA’s demotivating and belittling people trying to make a change, than actual europeans or canadians.

It’s one thing to not agree with my opinion, it’s a-ok with me and everyone has a right to it. I even agree with moderating extreme and violent statements when necessary. It’s another thing entirely to censor my opinion because you don’t like it. And on a forum like Reddit that’s inadmissible.

Nuked my account, changed to Lemmy and never looked back. And I’m happy for it. If you can’t take my opinion without trying to take my voice away I’ll just leave you alone in your echo chamber.

Bizarre is hijacking jokes and memes to virtue-signal and crow about what you think is good or not. And don’t conflate personal opinions with objective quality, that’s the mistake many people make that triggers an explanation on what opinions are and their worth.

Do like the others and take that frustration elsewhere, as I didn’t engage with this meme post to battle semantics with frustrated reddit users. That’s my opinion for you and of you, do what you will with it.

Damn, the irony and gaslighting, not to mention selective reading. And on such a small and insignificant topic, no less. Quite the teen behaviour.

You’ll have to get in line and convince me if you want me to engage with your cheap attempts at proving yourself. Same for any other frustrated teen wanting to engage in keyboard warrior-ing.

Don’t take it so hard, champ. This is a friendly and funny meme thread about spicy sauces. Such a shame to hijack jokes to derail it into pettiness like that. Reddit much? 🤔

Funny. I thought Apple, Meta, Facebook and Google facing lawsuits in Europe over breaking EU laws was completely unfair, according to Mango Mussolini.

How (mo)ironic, as usual. 🙄

So your personal preferences dictate whether a product is good or not, and whether other people should also like it (“I do not like Tabasco, therefore its quality is shit”). Right. I’ll be sure to defer to you in my future personal tastes. 🙄

This is not a pissing contest about who can hold the most Carolina Reapers in. It’s a really subjective thing, which is why when the other commenter implied it was about hotness scale (which is valid foe those who go by it when choosing their preferred hot sauce), I personally go more by flavor. At least the other comment, while somewhat in condescending tone, was a way more productive opinion, backed with sources and actual measurements. 🤷‍♂️

Cheers.

Nope, but now I want to. Thanks.

It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality. Tabasco’s refined taste all the way.

Life wouldn’t be the same without Tabasco. How could I ever eat my cotton candy or cereals without copious amounts of it?

Lord protect us all from the darkness within the darkness. Thoughts and prayers! 🙏

Nothing shady going on here, proceed with your day as usual, dumb citizen. 🤡

Exactly. Society should never conflate knowledge driven by curiosity and knowledge as an excuse for sadism.

There’s a difference between experimenting by following rules, and then observing the results vs giving in to base forbidden desires just to see what happens or trying to bend reality to confirm one’s bias - I mean, just look at how people tried to justify until decades ago a black person’s ‘inferiority’ and their discrimination by coming up with all sorts of anatomical observations. That’s the danger.

Ironic thing, we already tried this approach multiple times before, specially on war times. And each time humanity concluded that some knowledge has too high a price and we’re better off not finding out some things.

Knowledge for the sake of knowledge, especially with a heavy blood cost, isn’t the way to progress as a species.

And I should know, as a person greatly defined by curiosity about everything and more limited emotional capacity than other people due to mental limitations.

Yes, that’s excellent. We need our own Google suite. Fingers crossed so that it may come eventually.

Yes, yes, every piece slowly falls into place. *Cue maniacal villain laughter

It’s like they actually studied history, to try and replicate the desired results as identically as possible. Or they didn’t, at all, and this is just 2+2=4 scenario but with history.

I’m sure not-nazi Elon has everyone’s best interests at heart for going there, right? Right?..

Maybe he’s just looking for marketing data to improve his tanked tesla sales. Yeah, must be it.
