Even if technically correct, this kind of attitude ~~justifies~~ encourages pricks like Trump to misquote using only the first part, then proceed to more shit like this.

The favourite candidate is Macron. Twice! So your innuendo has a false premise.
What comes after fresh install? Massgrave ?
This is a slippery slope fallacy I believe. Stop with the fallacious reasoning
Wtf is this nonsense..
Ohm no !
It's not art. Expanding the sense of the word to all kinds of nonsensical phenomena is both damaging art and artists as well.
I take the liberty of a personal definition of art, or if not definition, at least prerequisites for something to be considered art, and that is that art must be made by the hand of the artist and that it's conception must include deliberate thought/mental process of the artist. It may not be the best definition, but I consider it to be good enough to draw a definite line between Michelangelo and the internet lady who vlogs about the art of tying your shoelaces or some similar shit.
Definitely not critical. As you said, familiarity can be quite important in a genus-differentia kind of way. For me it definitely was: being familiar to Reddit I could think that Lemmy is just like it but better. Same with Twitter and Mastodon.
Good post, but still raises the issue to a new level: above lemmy, there's another choice: which flavor of the fediverse do I want? twitter-like ? reddit-like ? etc
This worked :)
Well it might be true, but so are most platitudes. So instead of wasting internet, pick up a stick and kick the orange, or come up with a better solution than truisms that make more harm than good
