You’re inferring grey where none seems to exist

There’s always some level of grey in every situation

If everyone acted like OP

That’s the point, they don’t. No one expects this to be a behavioural standard, but shaming behaviours without understand the underlying cause of them will never change the behaviour.

People without empathy should learn some

It’s rarely anything close to that easy

I’m tapping out of this conversation. Our viewpoints are too drastically different here to have any sort of productive interaction

Okay so you took a basic statement I made and turned it into a black and white extreme. Prioritizing your NEEDS above others is crucial because if you don’t attend to your needs, you can’t be sure anyone else will. You also can’t effectively attend to the needs of others without first attending to yours.

I never said that you should act in a way that infringes on others’ needs or boundaries, but your needs are not their responsibility and their needs are not yours. Anything beyond that is the application of empathy and connection, which is important, but not something to be shamed when there is a lack of it.

In a survival situation, you cannot reasonably expect people to sacrifice themselves for the greater good. That’s just not a viable expectation. There is a grey area here in which some degree of self prioritization is necessary. Society is not a hive mind and I’m not saying “it’s all about me, fuck everyone else” but you’re also not responsible for how they feel or act. Personal accountability as well as caring for yourself.

Why advertise on reddit?

Yes.

And they wonder why they don’t have any advertiser support…

I didn’t realize I could transcribe on mobile using 3PAs until a few days before the takedown. It was frustrating and shitty, but the biggest thing that drove me away was looking at that site that told me how many shadowremovals and silent moderation I got without even realizing it, for completely innocent things. I was done.

Ngl liftoff is still really iffy about mobile transcribing on Lemmy but I’m working with/harassing to dev on that (I got a reply saying they’ll look into it and now it’s just a waiting game ig)

nANI!?

For people who use discord a lot (and to be totally honest, I’m one of them, I even ended up changing the liftoff theme colour to the old discord logo colour by instinct) it feels like it’s just as easy to use. But you’re right, it’s not a replacement, and it can be hard to keep up with no easy way to scroll through feeds or anything similar, no matter how much discord tries to implement them. It will forever be, at its core, a messaging app.

So I think it boils down to how used to using discord you are. If you’re going to discord to replace reddit, you are bound to be extremely disappointed by the results. It’s not designed to do that. And a lot of people aren’t realizing this.

And discord is slowly moving towards a similar level of corporate takeover and shifting it to “keep up” with every competitor app they can imagine. So I don’t even know how long that one will last.

I don’t think any of that constitutes a shitty user. Maybe just a note so active one. Maybe they’re anxious about it, or still learning, or prioritize their own needs above others (which isn’t something that should be inherently shamed)

I don’t thank every comment reply I get, am I a shitty user, or did I just make a decision where and when to spend my energy?

It’s not the sort of user I would actively engage in conversation with, sure, but it’s far from a shitty one

This reminds me of my early Lemmy days when I asked if I had successfully commented and someone replied “No, I can’t see your comment” and for a second my dumbass believed them

3.0 for me, but one of the frequently referenced key phrases in the reviews (listed as “review topics” you can select) is the phrase “absolute garbage” and ngl I kinda love that

There’s a Lemmy ToR? ToL? I’m in. 30 transcriptions on reddit, time to carry on the legacy.
