A federal judge in New York has ordered a vast unsealing of court documents in early 2024 that will make public the names of scores of Jeffrey Epstein's associates.
I guess I just find it sad that low effort infinitely recycled jokes are what make it to the top, when we can actually have a decent discussion about something.
I get what you’re saying, and if it’s a matter of the low effort snarky/funny stuff rising to the top because of upvotes, that’s probably a systemic problem. Short quick posts will have more people read them to completion, so that probably makes upvotes more likely.
However, I bet thoughtful comments also get rewarded with further discussion in replies.
Enjoy myopia I guess? Look, it might not be true, but it’s not so far fetched either. Her father appears to be mossad. I don’t know. With more, actual info, we could draw a factual conclusion. I’m not going to blinker myself though for something that’s totally a viable outcome.
I might join you. I know some k8s and shit, if you need a hand admin-ing. Actually since my instance is likely federating with threads, I was looking at pulling my account and donation eventually anyway.
It’s sad that every post the top level comments are these low effort posts. I was really hoping posters like you would just stay with reddit.
If we can’t joke about serious current events in our nerdy little federated corner of the internet, then what is life even for?
Producing value for the ruling class, idiot.
Dang it, you caught me Lemmying at work again!
You can do it, that doesn’t mean people have to like it.

I come here for both, and I tend to find both.

If they agree with the general opinion, sure they won’t get buried, but you still have to wade through the shit to get to them.
But if it’s a dissenting opinion, even if it makes logical sense, or even just has the facts straight, it will get buried.
I just miss the days that the internet wasn’t just snarky low effort jokes and memes and you could actually find decent discussions.
They are. In other comments. Some comments are just bad jokes. You can scroll past if they upset you.
God forbid the guy blocks users so he doesn’t see “low effort” comments.
It’s sad that every thread at some point has these low effort complaints. I was really hoping you would just stop being boring as hell.
Thank you for your thoughtful contribution in furthering this conversation, and your exemplary interpersonal skills.
It’s exactly the kind of cynical doomerism I was looking to get away from
It is low effort, but, it’s a likely outcome. Not every comment needs to be a masterful literary work to be relevant.
Lol
Also lol @ the idea that there is nothing between these low effort posts and masterful literary work.

No, almost certainly won’t be true.
And if you think it’s even remotely likely that this will happen, it’s not me being being myopic.
Just totally impossible huh? OK.
Considering you think that “almost certainly” and “totally impossible” are the same thing, I guess your position should come as no surprise.

Literally nothing in between low-effort recycled jokes and academic level discussions. But you’re still right, I should probably create an instance.
