Did not get that impression at all. To me it seems like basically the same thing as the “What have you done, Billy?” and “dumbest man alive” memes. Something relatably annoying followed by a hyperbolic “haha if only” response.

I don’t think they did. I just checked. Some subs disable downvotes I’m sure but they still exist in the site as a whole.
For me a big thing is that because Lemmy is so small, it’s not diverse. It’s mostly liberal-to-leftist nerds from America and Western Europe. I roll my eyes and scroll past whenever there’s a post about any Asian country because you know it’s just gonna be a bunch of foreigners (whose exposure to the country is limited to news headlines) pretending they know anything. And unlike Reddit there are seldom any locals available to set people straight.
No, it was mostly racism. Singapore is mostly Chinese, as I’m sure you’re well aware, whereas Malaysia is (obviously) mostly Malays and has several inbuilt benefits to give them advantages in life. A lot of Malaysian Malays were not happy about Singapore having equal racial rights, because they believed that Malays should have special benefits. This and general racial tensions led to hundreds of deaths in racial riots. The decision to separate was heavily influenced by the desire to avoid more racial violence.
I hated this Reddit trend of learning one (1) fact about a country and then linking it to literally every post or comment mentioning the country in any capacity. I really hope it doesn’t carry on to Lemmy. Countries are a lot more nuanced than that.
I usually don’t give a fuck about ads, but they’ve gotten increasingly annoying lately. Used to be that the popular websites were classier and less intrusive with their ads, that’s why they were popular. Now the biggest websites (most obviously YouTube) are the ones with the craziest most intrusive ads.
Python. It’s the only one I know :(
I’ve been trying to learn C# too but object-oriented programming just slides right off my smooth brain lol.
You can just type “icon pack” into the play store search and install whichever you like. Most of them cost money though.
I did a bit of looking, it’s from coffeetears on Newgrounds/Twitter. You can see part of their watermark near the leg.
Oh that’s true. I’ve seen a lot of cancel/call-out documents archived on IA, some of which were directed at children or had false accusations on them. It would be funny but not that surprising if all of this was over obscure Twitter drama.
