Yikes what a shithole

Would you say you are, or are not familiar with the concept of public property?

Ew. I hate people who believe that wikipedia is the fountain of truth.

Wikipedia also releases all content for free download under a permissive license, so I don’t think it’s fair to say that the US government is a meaningful threat to its quality of information

What? How are these two points related at all?

Good thing Wikipedia articles are always the best researched and sourced!

In 2023, Jan Grabowski and Shira Klein published an article in the Journal of Holocaust Research in which they said they had discovered a "systematic, intentional distortion of Holocaust history" on the English-language Wikipedia.[367] Analysing 25 Wikipedia articles and almost 300 back pages (including talk pages, noticeboards and arbitration cases), Grabowski and Klein stated they have shown how a small group of editors managed to impose a fringe narrative on Polish-Jewish relations, informed by Polish nationalist propaganda and far removed from evidence-driven historical research. In addition to the article on the Warsaw concentration camp, the authors conclude that the activities of the editors' group had an effect on several articles, such as History of the Jews in Poland, Rescue of Jews by Poles during the Holocaust and Jew with a coin. Nationalist editing on these and other articles allegedly included content ranging "from minor errors to subtle manipulations and outright lies", examples of which the authors offer.[367]

Well there goes the control group...

Nobody is saying that neurodivergent people can't do small talk, it's that it is oftentimes a dreadful experience for them. You do understand the difference, yes?

It's a bit like telling someone genetically predisposed to disliking cilantro because it tastes like soap to "just eat cliantro... everyone can do it!"

Yea, I don't want to sound like I'm arguing here, but there is a generally negative vibe that is being replicated here on lemmy as it was on reddit:

• Too many Elon Musk twitter posts
• Too much climate change doom & gloom
• Too much political doom & gloom

The toxicity is already here when you browse "All." I've just blocked most of the offending communities for a better experience. The list grows longer every day... but that's just my opinion. I think we can all agree that browsing "All" is like playing mental health on nightmare mode.

• I work from home
• My hobbies are solitary
• I refuse to use proprietary platforms (discord)

Being a recluse sucks, thankfully I live with my fiancee but it often isn't enough.

Yea I'm just blocking this community. I'm tired of seeing this shit on my feed.
