This is a tech sub on lemmy.ml, prepare to be flooded by luddites afraid of all things tech. Eventually you learn subs only exist for the stuff people hates here, not the stuff people love.

The luddites have been proven right, but your strawman of the luddites is absolutely wrong.

Username checks out and proves my point, lmao what are you even doing here?

I like technology. I think it can make our lives better, but some people, notably capitalists, often use technology to make our lives worse. When that happens, we should smash their machines.

Y’know it’s funny because one of the proposed benefits of lemmy was the decentralized nature of the forums meant you could pick from the ones you liked, yet I’ve subbed to 5 tech instances here and they are all exactly the same. Nothing but F.U.D. This will be the last remaining one I unsubscribe from, and even end up blocking because of the nonsense.

So, yeah, apparently that thing being a benefit was a lie when in reality it will just populate with the same people saying the same things.

Ah well…enjoy your echo chambers I guess!

It turns out that normal and common opinions remain so regardless of what servers you use. Shocking!

Or more likely, the people who hate something the most are more likely to post about it than people who love it or are ambivalent. No worries though, I blocked the forum so we won’t have to trouble each other anymore.

Have you considered that the children are right?
