There's an option in your user settings to hide bots

That's not how it works in practice though because most people aren't shits and just put their rubbish in the right bins. It's great that you're motivated to go above and beyond, but I imagine there's a lot more fly-tipping for people who don't want to spend any money or effort.
Nuanced enough that you can stereotype by instance!
I thought you still got all the posts, just not any of the comments?
One of the main benefits of open source software is that you can build it yourself or verify that a built blob is what it claims to be. If you're using someone else's instance then you don't know that they haven't made a change to it that could be doing something malevolent under the covers.
They require human victims to thrive and they make you feel bad
Slightly more ethical than the average Instagram Influenza selling their shill skills to the highest paying brand, anon is a not-for-sale bastard!
Do you go to the library and point at all the story books saying "fake"? Yeah obviously it's fiction, that doesn't mean it's not a nice (well, nice for 4chan) little story. You're not Sherlock Holmes for realising a greentext might just be fabricated!
Censoring is stupid and people self-censoring just makes me think the user is a child who's scared of being caught saying the naughty words or is just copying what TV does as if they also have to adhere to broadcasting regulations.
A lot of people online don't seem to understand the difference between referencing a word and invoking it. For example, we're in a 4chan community, you should really expect there to be very offensive language in the posts themselves, but we're adults here and we can look at the word "retarded" without thinking that it's OK to use as a slur ourselves.
I guess I can see their reasoning and it's good that we have different instances where you can choose what rules you want applying to your lemmy experience... buuuut who the fuck would choose to live in children's land where your precious little eyes can't be trusted to see the bad words?
Because everyone I know at companies like that has a pretty chill time most of the time. Clearly your millage has varied, but my point is that not every job is unpleasant, you just have to find somewhere relaxed, and that's not an impossible feat.
I think normal Lemmy feeds are all associated with the instance. What do you mean by Lemmy search? I know RSS has been around for ages but I'm always keen to make more use of it!
