Another thing is I feel like I'm trying harder to contribute positively; I want Lemmy to succeed so that (hopefully) we can avoid the enshitification that inevitably plagues the commercialized platforms.

I apologize for douchenozzling up the thread. I actually appreciate the explanation as it was informative, but it is pedantic to focus on that instead of answering the original question.

I'll piggyback and say that it feels similar. The biggest difference is not having huge default subs shaping the experience. Lemmy also feels more sparse in the comments, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

All that keeps popping in my mind is: Why come out and announce this?

This is the most disturbing "boring dystopia" thing yet.

What really disturbs me is how the recent tech shenanigans have been a long time coming; seems the internet we have come to know for the last 15 years only existed thanks to the ridiculous interest rates post 2008.

So very, very close to grasping their error...

He's not fascist, he just says fascist things and encourages his followers to act in fascist ways.

LOL, ok. You are certainly the most hinged person I've come across. Please go outside if you really believe people don't like the new trilogy because they are racist or sexist. In keeping with my username, I apologize if my initial comment was too harsh or strayed too far from the topic designated by the thread title for your sensibilities.

I personally dislike those movies because they are essentially a rehash of the OG trilogy, except they are not coherent as a whole and don't really offer anything new while simultaneously disrespecting the source material. But that's just my opinion.

Jesus fucking Christ, dude; that is a lot of emotion over a thread about movies.

Just saying, nobody loves a pedant.

I swear, if those lizard lovers get their state destroyed and leave Georgia more vulnerable I'm gonna be pissed.

No worries man, you can be totally wrong if that's your fancy /s

No need to act like I served you shit on a golden platter. I wish I had enjoyed the movies, don't get me wrong. Guess your not one for discussion. Good day.

I find most horror movies are like this; it will be fun if you like horror, but it will also be an objectively bad movie otherwise.

The entirety of the new trilogy is just bad. I really wanted it to be good but it was 1999 all over again... three times in a row.

I remember enjoying this in the theater, never seen it since.

It's a classic that maintains that status across multiple generations, so 29% is a bit of a joke. I guess if you view it from the POV of a haughty film critic, but c'mon.

A new house for my aging parents with no stairs.

Cognitive dissonance is an impossible nut to crack for anyone but the person experiencing it. Just say your piece with no expectations; at least you will know you are honest, and you never know - even a tiny crack can shatter the bubble. Probably won't.

Jimmy, you got nuthin' but rocks 'tween yer ears if you think you can go cowboyin' with no cows.
