Trying to prep myself for when they foxify all social media platforms.

Edit: you all better be careful saying you don't see any of it. Leon might catch wind.

I recently had to login in to update to a new 2FA app and oh my was it a wasteland. No one I had followed was still on it. And I mean that after scrolling for 5 minutes. It was just terrible.

I like to clown on nazis

Especially when they're shitting bricks in the reply section of a post from either Mark Hamill or Stephen King

Edit: We need a collab

I follow scientists, virologists, epidemiologists, etc and get tweets with the latest covid research. I also see a lot of stuff from Gaza and a few things about movies. I'm moving off there but while some people are only on there and giving me information, I'll keep going back.

Just use it for the porn. Occasionally will click on a trending tweet and immediately get bombarded with tons of Russian propaganda. "Ukraine are Nazis" "America first!" "Look at this poor starving (white) american child, Biden just approved 60 billion to Ukraine!"

All shit like that, it focuses very strongly on what Russia wants Americans to believe, in my experience.

You know you can just... stop visiting all social media sites right? Its not easy but its very doable. Ive mostly done it (significantly reduced to almost nothing).

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm just here on lemmy. I've been lurking reddit just to see more breaking news but that will stop come novemeber.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Why November? Is something happening?

I was just joking. I habitually check reddit hoping Trump sits on his own balls or something. Will continue until the election.

We are on social media right now?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Sometimes this feels like antisocial media.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

It's pretty much just a forum with voting.

Touché @[email protected]

You can’t argue with that logic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

You can, but you'd be wrong.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm on Mbin, but I don't disagree with you: Lemmy is awesome!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

Again, I have to agree.

My husband stayed on there. Luckily, it's just for the porn.
