Do you mean in the magical sense? That there’s a karmic force in the universe that causes bad things to happen to bad people.

Or do you mean it in the moral sense? That bad people deserve to have bad things happen to them and it’s good when it does.

Just shovel them into my mouth. 👀

Let’s just call everything a website. It’s all on the internet, right?

Digg and Reddit invented the terminology and I don’t think people are unfamiliar with it.

If you sort on Lemmy by activity you can get exactly the same behaviour.

Point. That’s not the default behavior, though, and most users aren’t using the site that way - and I’d argue the site isn’t designed the be used that way, and that’s why most users don’t use that functionality.

And bumping is even often frowned upon because it pollutes active discussions. It’s just people abusing how those forums sort threads.

Not what I meant. I don’t mean people making worthless “bump” comments (that often just gets people banned) I mean that forums bump up threads that get new comments.

I use forums, and they’re just different.

Lemmy posts are still designed to decay and fall off the front page. The posts last longer if they have participation but the only way to make something last a long time is to sticky the post so it doesn’t decay.

Forums aren’t like that. Forum threads are meant to stay around as long as people bump them and they can be ancient, with hundreds of pages of comments, and the thread still keeps getting bumped because new content is added to the thread.

Also, the way comments are organized is different. Our comments are threaded so we can have a conversation between us in a comment chain, but forum comments are sequential. The comments section of every thread would look way different if it was a forum.

Forums are just structurally different. If you don’t like “link aggregator” that’s understandable, it’s actually not very descriptive, but you still need to be able to differentiate between forums and whatever-the-heck this space is.

Forums update threads by bumping, so threads from ten years ago can still be on the front page as long as they are active.

The term “link aggregator” was made to differentiate websites that are designed for threads to rapidly decay and be replaced by a constant flow of new content. If you tried to federate lemmy with a forum it wouldn’t really work.

Maybe there’s another term that could be used, but there needs to be a way to differentiate the two styles.

And when the current senior programmers retire the field of juniors that are coming to replace them will be much smaller.

Okay, but like-

You could just be lying.

You could even be a chatbot, programmed to hype AI in comments sections.

So I’m going to trust studies, not some anonymous commenter on the internet who says “trust me bro!”

Mostly connections and luck based on the trash I hear that’s somehow popular.

Or I could just use the dash - way easier.

And it doesn’t make me look like a robot.

In the comic, the desire path happened because they wouldn’t just connect to the crosswalk. Even in the end, the constructed path connects to the sidewalk slightly to the side instead of going straight to the crosswalk.

Desire paths happen because of poor, antihuman design choices.

You say this is human nature, but I see the comments section filled with good little doggies that follow master’s rules.

What the hell am I looking at? What the fuck is going on with those diagonal arrows??

My keyboard does not have an em dash and I have never seen one that does.

Still sus. 🤔

Humans just use dashes - they get the point across and don’t require esoteric button presses.

That’s clearly a siren or some kind of merfolk on the left, I think the sign is telling you this is their territory.

You say “everyone” but it’s still just other men.

People are organizing in their communities to patrol for ICE and respond to ICE raids, which is quite a bit like the Black Panthers “cop watch” and community patrols.

I know it’s not like when protesters burned down a police station in 2020, but things are happening.

Just take some D₃ with lunch, it’s fine.
