Maybe try not habitually exaggerating? People who don’t know you are just gonna take you at your word.

Alas, the longer the stick is, the floppier it gets.

That’s some serious copium, and the other replies are worse. “If you’re not growing you’re dying” is bullshit when you control a large portion of the potential market, but not when you’re a bit player. Being less popular than a manifestly shitty platform like Reddit is not a flex and not a sign of long-term health.

They can’t ban a MAC address. They don’t have any way to find it.

The size of my block list tells me there are plenty of right-wing voices on the platform. No everyone on that list is right-wing, but I’m fairly certain a majority of them are.

Good for you, but I like being invited to parties.

Guess what? I still use Reddit, too, because content on Lemmy is extremely scarce in comparison. Mastodon is likewise a fringe network. I’ve barely even heard the name Friendica so I can be certain there are approximately zero people I know there. Shopping local is great when local businesses actually put their prices and inventory online, but they rarely do.

For Xitter, BlueSky is drop-in replacement that’s superior in most respects. I’m not aware of any equivants for Facebook or Amazon.

Hmmm. I can’t see most of the comments in this thread. Probably because they’re from people I blocked because they were posting tankie bullshit.

There was an exchange student from Spain in my high school Spanish class (in the US). The main thing I remember is that when we actually needed to communicate with him, it was easiest when he spoke English and we spoke Spanish.

More like a quarter.

People on the other side don’t deserve a mnemonic.

Made me feel like I was crazy the first time I installed pedals on a bike.

My cat used to go in my bathroom and yowl until I went in and got him. Now he has progressed to just yowling in any room with no people in it.

My brother in Christ, the average person doesn’t even know Lemmy exists.

People don’t know about the weird chunk sizes representing inequality.

They do know about Chocolonely being marketed as a more ethical product.

It’s not representing anything will if people don’t know about it. And I think most people who shall out the extra money for a brand like Chocolonely are doing it because they’re already aware of what a clusterfuck the chocolate industry is.

A drone made up to look like some kind of weird flying animal.

Where I come from you don’t get to choose your team.
