It seems like a weird question, but other than a couple of users who I recognize on Lemmy, the rest seems to be robotic.
I don’t see a lot of creativity or uniqueness.
Why is that?
Beep boop beep beep boop?
Sorry, all users of lemmy are my alt accounts. I can only pretend so many different personalities.
Your account says you joined 2 months ago so unless it’s an alt account, you haven’t really been here a very long time which probably plays into it. Furthermore are you actually looking for anything creative or unique? It looks like you have primarily just hopped around on technology communities. I would recommend browsing for communities that have more creativity and subjectivity to offer.
I mean 1.) the network is still pretty small and so the ratio of creators are gonna be low because the audience is low.
2.) the discussions here are still good and engaging. Unless you mean that everyone is a leftist and therefore the same. That’s not even true unless you only follow communities on Lemmy.ml and that’s only because their admins will remove comments for not being leftist
Reading OP’s comments and posts I’m not finding anything particularly deep or groundbreaking. I assume OP wrote this about people who disagree with them.
Interesting,
so how would that apply exactly to people who disagree with me?
See, you’re really the only one who can answer that. Why are you here if you think you’re talking to NPCs?
Edit: forgot my (?)
Trouble computing. Might respond later. Timer set.
Have good day.
We are all bots
I’ve got plenty of human touch, I’m touching myself right now!
Can’t even take this seriously.
You’re subbing the wrong munis, cousin. I find it very vibrant here compared to most of social media, including blogs.
What’s a munis?
i believe its shorthand for ‘communities’
TIL. Thanks.
I refuse to amplify that. Sounds like Cyberpunk “gonk and choomba” nonsense.
I’ll call them “comm(s)” as Izanagi intended.
Chummer and omae always worked better for me.
What do you mean?
Have you ever seen/discovered something new here?
Yes? I don’t really follow what you mean, here.
“Here”? That could be any number of communities in any number of instances which may or may not be federating with each other. Personally, I’m happy with the instance my account is on and the communities I subscribe to, perhaps you need to find or create different communities from the ones you currently follow?
I learned about the em dash because of a meme here this week.
Yes.
DON’T YOU DARE INSULT SPORTSBALLS
We’re old, politically like-minded, and we dog pile folks who disagree with us (e.g. Conservatives).
I’m not 100% sure why I’m here. I think it’s that I really like the idea of decentralized social media, and I generally fit the group think.
Anyhow, welcome to Lemmy! I hope you enjoy it!
Uh, got clarification on that robotic behavior?
On that specific point:
Basically when I look at the comments of a lot of posts here, I see most comments basically repeating the same thoughts over and over. This becomes very intense when the post is political.
Why does political content need to be “new” or “fresh?” A lot of the latest events in the world are new developments on very old struggles that have been discussed for a very long time, something fundamentally changing that calculus is rare.
Lemmy can get pretty echo chambery but that’s very human beavior
I think your problem is expecting personality from political posts then
Can’t say I agree with the thesis so I cant exactly give a good reason.
Best I can argue is a lot of people share similar interests here and niche communities aren’t very active here.
So here I can’t talk about how Jack Hobbs record is better fielding first when everyone chose to bat first in his era or the biomechanics of mhd Asif.
Or Oviedo’s play being dictated by their wingbacks.
Or Gukesh beating Magnus.
Or the development of his self analysis in Dylan’s music.
I cant talk about a Marxist interpretation of severance. Or Marxist film theory and fight club.
Or Edgar Allan Poe’s philosophy of composition.
Or the patterns I notice in mythological stories across cultures.
Or creating conlangs.
Simply because there is rarely anyone else who is interested in it who’ll find it. There’s not a lot of engagement with niche topics here
Or the patterns I notice in mythological stories across cultures.
In a Joseph Campbell kinda way, or a “every culture has a flood myth” kinda way?
Both.
Like the common story of the baby of a king being abandoned only to return to power. Often in a river.
The story follows the beats and structure of the hero’s journey. (Similarly theres other structures that are commonly repeated) but also the very story is the same.
Jung noticed this a century ago.
In a creative writing class we were told there are no new stories. How they’re put together and dressed up is a little different, but ultimately it’s all been done.
