They're useful for funneling as much money as possible to as few people as possible.

For example, the suckers in this thread are useful to the executives and investors of Doordash.

Why is the economy struggling while rich people live in luxury?

I'd say what's causing people grief is a bigger trigger for fascism than how they react to it.

Mismanagement and misplaced grievances.

The former is the cause for 99% of the problems societies face.

Essentially, conmen will con useful idiots, and then the useful idiots will get mad at their peers instead of their rulers because it's easier.

Stupidity is also a major factor, because useful idiots aren't capable of understanding how they're being taken for a ride.

People are meaner on the East Coast, but they're also more capable.

All the people in here eager to defend how someone wastes their money just reinforces my opinion of the average person these days; most of them are useful idiots.

I hope you never complain that you need more money if that's how you waste it.

[–] blackfox@lemmings.world -4 points 17 hours ago

The people using doordash are the same ones complaining they need more money.

Just another reason for me to think the average person is a complete idiot.

Glad I switched to Debian a few years ago.

Got tired of seeing that advertisement every time I logged in.

Fuck Canonical and whatever scumstains keep trying to profit off of people's low standards.

Those are all legitimate concerns that useful idiots have been conditioned to ignore.

Man, I miss when only half the first world was on the Internet.

We need barriers of entry to keep morons and their asinine rhetoric out.

I'd say a bigger issue is the adoption of non-free software.

It doesn't matter what language you choose; if you pick a non-free license then you are part of the problem.

 

I just started my own Lemmy instance, and it looks to be mostly working.

The problem that I have is that the communities I went through the process of subscribing to only display up to 50 threads and no comments.

This looks like something I've seen on other servers, so I'm wondering what could be causing it and how to fix it.

ChatGPT says something about webfinger and nodeinfo, but I honestly have no idea what any of that is and there's no mention of it in https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/federation_getting_started.html
