are you joking, basically all of modern society has a vested interest in people not believing it.

they also have admitted to only announcing the most optimistic results because nobody would believe them if they didn’t, and if people did it would be devastating

oop sorry

How the fuck was that channel able to recover from the “I want mommy, I want milk, I want to be held” meme

lmao

My 11 year old brother learned what rule34 was from Roblox staff because he tried to upload a model for a game he was making, and they denied it and said it was “rule34” when he asked why. The model was literally a cat

Not even going to mention Madagascar Kartz, which also had Shrek and B.O.B. from Monsters vs Aliens?

Phoenician pro-tip: if you use a letter for each individual sound instead of one for every word, it makes for a more efficient writing system. Also DO NOT fuck with the Romans or random weirdo desert tribes they will murder you without mercy.

ok to but to be fair, the creator of Lemmy is a tankie. not “anyone I don’t like is a tankie” tankie, but “genuinely supports the Soviet Union and CCP” tankie.

why isn’t the void there

I think they are referring to Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, etc. the past few wars the U.S. has been in have largely been fought over oil.

what in gods name is happening over there, between this and removing awards they’ve been acting really weird since the protest

“Business as usual” lmao what is this then

70% of the it’s either Antimalware Service Executable or a dozen microsoft edge tabs open in the background for some reason

I would agree if they didn’t already shovel in 10 million people from instagram in the past few hours, and you cant leave without deleting your facebook and instagram accounts and everything you have invested in them. They gained in the past few hours more people than the entire Fediverse has gained over the course of several years.

It’s only been a few hours and they already have more users than the entire Fediverse did during its peak by yesterday after all of this recent drama. We are already fucked, I salute every one of you as the fediverse sinks.

Can we actually fight back, though? most of the people using the Fedi are on Mastodon, primarily coming from places like Twitter and Reddit because of the recent drama. The biggest complaint new people have is about how complicated Masto and other fediverse services are to get into for people who aren’t tech savvy, between choosing different instances and figuring out how to use them. Meanwhile, Meta provides a familiar, convenient experience from a brand they already know, even with its horrible reputation. Then when 90% of “fediverse” users are on Threads instead of the rest of the fedi, they’ll announce that they are dropping support for ActivityPub and there will only be a few thousand people left elsewhere to mourn it.

Whelp, time to pack up I guess. Mastodon is the biggest player in the fediverse right now, so if Meta EEE’s us then the fediverse as a concept is doomed.

Lol she does look like Weird Al
