Supposedly, I am a human, who does very human things.
I do think there are still edge cases that break that, and it definitely is not a practical solution in terms of adoption or solving the community problems I feel like this must cause, but it would work in terms of personally having a workaround I suppose. At that point, you're just kinda running it for the sake of archiving though.

You have to remember that what you are basing your image of the common PC builder on, contains massive selection bias.
People who are just building their pcs silently, or who run into issues, but solve them themselves aren't going to be posted.
That leaves the people willing to put forth the least effort outside of posts asking for opinions on builds (as well as completely reasonable people who are stuck).
I do think many people don't really learn about everything that would be necessary, but thats largely one of the benefits of humanity; people not having to learn about everything.
I think people often ask a tech person they know for opinions, and sometimes that communication is muddied or that person doesn't know as much as they profess, but I doubt that a sizeable portion of people are just completely yoloing.
Seems pretty reasonable really.
That said, about this:
or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.
I'm not sure fair or unbiased really have meaning as terms. I think its more that they seem strong handed and are alleged to have opinions based on propaganda rather than fact.
I definitely think the main developer publicly having those opinions is awful though. Projects have had drops in support for less.
Where are these stats from? Like what communities/instances/filtering options?
I ask because it feels like a lot more than that is filtered everytime I go through to look at my comment history/click through to posts.
I mean, this is common sentiment.
There are a few holdouts but very few people coding, especially on things which don't have extremely precise requirements are avoiding this.

I think where it gets complicated and sometimes frustrating is with troubleshooting.
That, and picking out the parts can take ages, especially if you obsess, or have one idiot friend who is stuck in 2013 and still think its intel or nothing.

I feel like your example is quite contrived, and having been in the trenches often, I feel like this is rare, and probably not even worth it for the average pc builder to know outside of when they need to know.
Even then, thats more of a "people should really try to search before posting for help" than anything else, and that exists everywhere.
These are not mutually exclusive and not contradictory at all
I mean the first one said its not a loss generally, not specifically but I can accept that you meant it differently than typed.
Imo this is not complaining, this is shit stirring. This meme isn’t even acknowledging that there are multiple types of people on ml, but advocates for treating everyone the same. Do you not see an issue with that?
I don't think this has the full context.
You can't really conveniently sort tankie from non tankie.
ml is a self choosen label though, so people can choose not to use it.
This is your assumption.
How is it an assumption at all? You literally say it again here where you advocate for not treating everyone the same.
All I’ve said here is that I don’t care
You've spent multiple comments expressing that lack of care.... which doesn't make it seem like you don't care, but instead makes it seem like this bugs you because you feel its unfair, and you've said as much here.
it only reinforces the fact that I’m not missing anything by not being able to engage with people who are this immature.
But you are engaging with them... I am very confused. The people you are seeing the memes of are the people you are engaging with. The others, they probably aren't posting about this and simply have it toggled off.
Mightn't this be a case of the loud ones being the people who are complaining vs the silent who simply have moved on?
Anyhow, I just think its impossible to ignore that certain servers obviously follow some cultural trends. Some are even enforced by said servers and its communities. Many really, when you think about it (Its kinda what rules do to some extent).
I do not think there is any solid answer.
The interpretation of laws is highly in flux, swinging depending on who is lobbying who on any given day.
I think we're headed towards the worst option though, which people think they want on impulse, but actually really don't.
I think we're going to see regulatory capture on a scale impossible to recover from.
Regulatory capture that will simply have the biggest AI companies buy out all of the rights to all of everyones information to such a degree that it is impossible to compete with them, giving them defacto control over AI and its censorship, and everyone trying to avoid being swept up will inevitably be shovelled into using some forms of platforms that these companies have the rights to.
I think that the way it should work is that AI can input whatever it wants, and just as intended, people can claim product resultants that qualify as copywritten material.
This would both make more incentive towards having the end user run local AI/less centralization, and incentivise ownership amongst citizens.
What we're heading to now might completely eliminate any chance we ever have of having AI that isn't massively controlled by corporate goals and right wing billionaire feelings, and no matter how some people try to avoid it, the affect on the population will be impossible to ignore.
I've only lemmied for a few months (technically I had some account very long ago but didn't really use it and forgot about it as everything was dead). I doubt I ran into that, and I think a lot of it is just moderators removing things, and that being far worse than when it happens on reddit because none of the comments are retained nor their structure.
Absolutely. One of the things that made reddit a pseudo-default of the internet was the ability to find relatively niche information long after. Here, its quite the struggle and I'm not sure search engines play nice with lemmy.
Like maybe there should be some purposefully searchable instances with access to as much as possible for that purpose as a solution but yeah, its very rough.
Its clear you aren't trying to have an honest discussion given that my comment was completely within context as a comparison to other entities which you had to deliberately remove to make your current statement.
To me it’s not a loss if someone isn’t able to receive my help if they decide that it’s not worth it to them - that’s their decision to make
You specifically said
then that’s their loss.
though. Like they're missing out.
The constant handwringing and wishing about ml users suffering more from being blocked because you don’t like certain users
That seems like you're going out of your way to ascribe malice to people who don't want to be inundated with a certain type of tankie as if their goals are to hurt people as opposed to not be annoyed by their feeds.
honestly reeks of a sore ex who wants to twist the knife. If ml bothers certain users (I’m looking at OP especially) then just block ml and stop posting about it repeatedly (looking at you OP).
You can't think of any reasons someone might not want to block but might still complain?
I mean here you are simultaneously advocating for not throwing out the baby with the bathwater when it comes to ml users, but then in the same breathe, you are saying people should simply block ml if they have complaints.
It doesn't seem consistent to me.
More than that, people can choose which instance they want to be on. You could switch to a different instance at any time, and many people have accounts on multiple instances.
With no public vote scores etc, all you lose is a post history that is spotty anyways due to how many posts get deleted on lemmy.
You can find skeletons everywhere. The idea that Europe is the worst on the basis of what you list as one country having what looks footnote like compared to for instance, the USA or China, is bizarre. Seems like hyper focus on their faults due to being partial to the others.
Nah, AI is super useful for coding. There were some early detractors, but pretty much no one avoids using it for coding now if they want a significant speed up.
No matter how clean your code is, there will be repetitive patterns that you won't want to abstract further, and AI at bare minimum speeds that up immensely.
You add things like having faster recall than manually searching for solutions a lot of the time, and AI powered conversions, and there is a very clear value proposition.
There are a lot of problems with AI implementations as they currently are etc etc, but lets not let anger be the death of nuance.
What in the universe are you envisioning?
I could see some arguments for the US, (and even those are likely to be short sighted and naive), but the EU?
What is this in reference to?
I mean, you can say that, but its not really their loss, because you're asking them to accept a lot more than just you.
It's a package deal, and that package deal includes a boatload of clueless tankies who will happily copypasta the most outlandish ideas from their troves of propaganda to explain why actually brutal dictatorships are model societies for the left to ascribe to.
This appears to be one of the only bandaid solutions (as another user has recommended). It's an awful lot of work for a fundemental platform flaw though. I suppose the flaw is a bit more nuanced than any one issue though.
I imagine simply not removing comments with a post being removed/user being deleted would be a huge step up for usability however, but then as far as I gather, lemmy has a somewhat antagonistic relationship with the lead dev?? I remember some folks talking about an alternative being developed using a compatible protocol but it being early along. I guess we'll see if there is enough oomph for that to come to fruition.
