Oh hey now there’s an idea! I could probably 3d print a little cover too!

Thanks! If there was such a thing as gold on Lemmy I’d give you some, but there’s not so you’ll have to settle for this 🥇

And to think, MS could have done the same damn thing

I mean I got 6 of em for free, and ya can’t beat free LMAO

I actually had been putting off cracking one open for awhile now but the SSDs in them had been failing one by one and I’m on the last one now lolol

Took a look at the ifixit for the steam deck OLED, honestly it doesn’t look bad at all. I’ve removed lots of screens from phones and other tablets and such, and this looks no worse than those.

But man, MS really went out of their way to make the screen impossible to remove without cracking it on this one. There’s a ridiculous amount of adhesive and coupled with the glass being really really thin… 😅 Yea it’s a shit show when even the ifixit team can’t even get some photos for their teardown without a shattered screen lol

Vance has the cult personality of a wet blanket, plus cults very very rarely survive the death of its founder. It usually takes the person “next in the chain” to be able to match the founder’s energy/charisma. Which almost never happens because that would be a “personality conflict”

That’s actually a really neat window lol, I kinda want one now xD

But are you sure it doesn’t open? Maybe you need to hold a crystal to it at the right time of day so that sunlight gets focused by it and opens a secret portal to another better timeline!

Lol I’ll go wherever the flow is going, though iirc the MAU deficit was more than half between the 2, so that might be an uphill battle

But yea, if you feel this is the best move, I’ll redirect

Though, I will say, I find this beef with AI-gen’d stuff rather silly, people should shit on proprietary profit-driven AI companies and support open source AI

I hope you’re right

I sure did, I nipped a transphobic comment before it devolved into a full blown argument.

You are the “pORn iS A SiN” “HOmOSeXUalItY MakES jEsUS CrY” user. You are one of the ones they are talking about that is “subtle” in their trolling.

If you put an average person in here with a minimal idea of what 4chan is, what would they say this place is like?

When they inevitably get scared off because some .ml users were going off ranting about how such such article about NK that got posted was actually western propaganda and that “NK is all good actually”, what do you think they’ll tell others?

This isnt about me or you, we have thick skin and can deal with the BS toxicity and have even become desensitized to it so it doesn’t seem that bad

But we are not the average person and if we want the Threadiverse to succeed and maybe even threaten Reddit a bit, we need the normal users

But is that from a “normie” perspective or from a regular Threadiverse user perspective? Because from a regular Threadiverse user perspective many have become desensitized I feel, and that’s also another aspect of the problem.

Because ptz has been operating on tamping down toxicity with the goal of it being attractive to the average user.

The Threadiverse will not actually achieve much without the “normies”

Yea, no, I know you and whatever ban was handed down was justly deserved.

It keeps them contained and easy to block.

It’s a failed theory, they all have alts upon alts, and block isn’t a block on Lemmy

Now look at social media. You’ll see irrationals infesting every platform. Reddit in special encourages it, and most lemmings are from Reddit.

True, but on other social media, there’s millions of users and it’s a LOT easier to dilute the toxicity when a SMs D/MAU is being measured in the millions

Why this matters: because I believe people here are focusing too much on .ml and Hexbear, without noticing the problem would still persist without them.

Yea, but I really think .ml not being defederated from is causing a bit of a feedback loop encouraging similar toxic behavior in other users for their own, even non-Tankie, reasons

The legend goes that dessalines and Nutomic were unpopular and getting bans on Reddit and then set off to make Lemmy like 5-6 years ago to get away from Reddit

Uh, I’m not sure if you read a different thread, but in his formal shutdown thread in !announcements@dubvee.org he was quite clear about it being about fighting against the toxicity. He basically got to a good point, but because of the .ee wake he had to start over.

But yes .ee was a special case, it was sad especially being the second largest instance. But a second instance shutdown in a month also citing burnout and toxicity is a red flag.

Now I’m worried if next week SJW or slrpnk is going to announce their shutdown due to toxicity

Well defederating from .ml would have gone far dessalines being butthurt about it be damned, but at this point, idk probably wouldn’t matter anymore

They won’t, I think many are testing the waters with PieFed for an ultimate move over, but I have a feeling for the ones that matter *cough* .world *cough* it would likely be a months long process, that ultimately will arrive too late.

Ah shit, you caught me, I wasn’t thinking of the poor shareholders 😢

step 5: There are now 57 other ones out there lol
