- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Tik Tok. It's just vine but no one is funny. How many videos of people just driving their cars with some nonsense text overlaid, like, how many hundreds of that are needed? How are you going to stand out? It's just a way for the uncreative to take part in creativity. Which they aren't.
Just like the fast food thing, TikTok is literally addictive. It’s the new breed of addictive tech. It’s the fentanyl of tech.
Fast food.
I'm not saying there's exactly "hype" but it seems to have a permanent grasp on the minds of chronic users.
In 2025, with our knowledge of nutrition, people are still denying that it's basically hot candy disguised as food... people are still arguing that it's nutritional enough that is okay to eat.
No, it's the equivalent of cigarettes. Stop eating that shit, recognize it for what it is: addictive poison.
In the same way that sugar/candy is physically addictive, fast food has been proven to have the same physiological effects. It’s literally an addiction.
Yep, and that's why users go berserk typically when I point out that it's basically hot addictive candy, not food.
Addicts go nuts when you tell them they can't or shouldn't have their medicine.
Celebrities
I couldn't care less about any of them, I don't understand why people follow them on social media or read gossip about their love lives.
Makes zero sense to me
Souls games.
Ed Sheeran.
In-N-Out.
Mario Kart World and that new Donkey Kong game. everything about the Switch 2 looks underwhelming
Gen alpha stuff

Lemmy.
It's just another pointless link dump, most of the posts are stupid, very few of them have anything to do with the community in which they're posted. Most of the people commenting cannot read, are incapable of analyzing information, and basically do not have a brain.
There's a few technical features Lemmy offers, but from an experience standpoint it's every bit as bad as "the other place"
Have you actually seen a single thing posted here that would make you say oh this community is the place to be! Nope. And you never will.
It's the same recycled overcooked memes from 20 years ago, moronic political posts, bad science, misinformation, half-truths and so forth
Oh and who could forget the self-styled Linux experts who know fuck all about Linux!
