Yeah, I'm guilty of that one too. Lol
Also "It's probably gas" explained many, many things for a while.
Even before the insane number of bots that are on reddit today, I believe that subreddit was one of the main ways for astroturf accounts to gain karma quickly. They knew that everyone was just there to look at happy things and would upvote heavily.
I wonder if you'd have to wash it? I guess it's no different than however people with wigs take care of them.
This is current problem in society that we don't tolerate different opinion.
Exactly this. When online platforms become too homogeneous, any deviation from the typical opinions that are shared seems like a terrible, inexcusable offense that someone must do something about - thus, reinforcing the bubble.
We need to be able to disagree with each other and still get along.
Same here. Had to look up the story. Ugh...
You'd think I'd be numb to it by now, but my heart breaks every time.
I wonder if DMs start as the first and slowly transition into the second one.
Since most people are talking about the sign-up barriers, I'll mention culture and reputation.
I love Lemmy and Mastodon, but whenever I've seen the fediverse brought up elsewhere, someone inevitably shuts down any curiosity by suggesting that it's a political echo-chamber. I don't think that's accurate for all of it, but if that reputation is out there, we probably need to make an effort to show that there's a broader appeal. If the average person is expecting the fediverse to be the left-wing equivalent of something like "Truth Social", I could understand the reluctance to adopt it.
I don't know if it can transpose into the London very easily, but I might be wrong.
There's a bishop 500m away with a sniper too.
Oh no, someone please hit the emergency recursion button before this meme breaks something!
