This place is a far worse echo chamber than Reddit, and mods fall right in line. I've seen too many posts get downvoted to hell for simple opinions, and other 'dissenters' get posts removed that should have just been part of open discussions.

I've said this before, even in a lighter tone, and those posts mysteriously disappeared. I'm betting this one will be removed too.

From what I remember, there's a very heavy emphasis on engineering in Russia, and they produce more engineers than any other country. They may have some brain drain, but plenty to spare.

I'm on the fence about sticking around. I don't see myself going back to Reddit, so I'll probably just leave and be productive.

I don't have much of an opinion on Twitter or what Elon does with Twitter, but I'm not a fan of this rebranding.

That said, I'm going to upvote you since the rest of Lemmy is apparently all about quashing dissenting opinions.

Yep, I got downvoted for suggesting that vandalizing the car was not a good plan..

Edit: I think you're actually talking about a different thread. Lemmy needs therapy.

It absolutely is... And I'm starting to burn out of this place more everyday.

Probably accurate. That seems to have set the trend for who belongs. Of course we'd all want to keep highly objectionable material away, but I'd prefer to see some diversity of thought.

Maybe it's due to population size, but I'm beginning to feel like Lemmy is a worse echo chamber than Reddit. And yes, I have noticed the landmines and people getting overly downvoted for stating simple opinions.

I'm not so sure this is the place for me anymore. I'll stick around for now, but I may leave if something else comes along.

Bet you could buy a lot of teepees with that money and increase the curb appeal of tent cities.

I could tell them that, and they would be rightfully pissed off. In most cases, though, a disabled person can figure out this puzzle, go on with their day, and not have to pay $1,500 for the inconvenience.

Yes for OLED. Sometimes for LCD.

From what I understand, LCDs can have a resting state that will either stop light, or a resting state that will let light through. The backlight remains on, but a panel that natively blocks the light will require less power when showing black.
