My wife calls these her “high games”:

Used to be you could make a Lemmy comment explaining how something doesn’t meet your values without some guy going 'round the thread saying, “kids these days, all so sensitive! Whatever happened to not being offended!” When did this happen? I swear it was recently.
Please post the text so we don’t have to click into that website.
The Rhetoric, Lies, as exemplified by the false statements made by Comrade Kamala Harris during the rigged and highly partisan ABC Debate, and all of the ridiculous lawsuits specifically designed to inflict damage on Joe’s, then Kamala’s, Political Opponent, ME, has taken politics in our Country to a whole new level of Hatred, Abuse, and Distrust. Because of this Communist Left Rhetoric, the bullets are flying, and it will only get worse! Allowing millions of people, from places unknown, to INVADE and take over our Country, is an unpardonable sin. OUR BORDERS MUST BE CLOSED, AND THE TERRORISTS, CRIMINALS, AND MENTALLY INSANE, IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM AMERICAN CITIES AND TOWNS, DEPORTED BACK TO THEIR COUNTIES OF ORIGIN. WE WANT PEOPLE TO COME INTO OUR COUNTRY, BUT THEY MUST LOVE OUR NATION, AND COME IN LEGALLY AND THROUGH A SYSTEM OF MERIT. THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT US AS FOOLS, THEY ARE STEALING OUR JOBS AND OUR WEALTH. WE CANNOT LET THEM LAUGH ANY LONGER. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Trending posts is not a recommendation algorithm, in my opinion. I think the slope stops at curation (interests-based algorithms targeted at specific users).
I.e. reddit homepage is now curated, Lemmy sorting methods are not.
Both. Supply is a real issue, building homes and preventing corporate uptake are both needed to solve this crisis.

I can’t believe all the warning signs
Are you American?
I was making a subtle multiple votes joke, glad you caught on :)
Vote early, vote often
IQ is sort of bullshit, but it’s a measurement.
Equating IQ to overall intelligence is fruitless. It’s like asking the weather and only taking the temperature.
Depending on the comfort level of your spouse, asking them to use their account would be best.
One of the forms of trust in Marketplace is how long the person’s Facebook account has existed, how many friends they have, and whether there are photos. If you create a burner account with no photo, no connections, and “Joined Facebook in 2024”, you’ll have a rough start.
I have had people show up who don’t match the account and they say it’s their partner or whatnot, never phased me.
If you do decide to make an account, push people to rate your interactions after you make a successful purchase. After 3 messages are sent back and forth, you get an option to rate the seller and buyer. Just tell them you rated them well and would like a rating as you are new to Marketplace.
I do hate Facebook for what it is, but even here in Canada where Kijiji was once king, Marketplace has taken over. I care about the used market (and the positive effects on the environment) too much to pass it up.
He’s probably the guy at my work who replies all to tell people not to reply all.
“right-sizing the team” 🤮
It’s cute. Paper airplane vibes.
I started my engineering program at University not knowing what engineering was.
Thank goodness for that orientation session.
A literal case of “don’t shoot the messenger”.
