It’s vendsday my dudes

If I saw this, I would assume a mass targeted smite was occurring

“cuz this is my United States of whatever”

Not news. Nobody needs to know about this.

You wouldn’t download rear-heated seats.

Mastodon really runs on direct post engagement, especially boosts, to make the whole thing work without an algorithm

It’s very similar to tumblr in that a boost is supposed to function like a like/upvote to spread content, since no automated algorithm is going to suggest that post for you.

But I’m sure people are also trying to grow their networks quick, since it’s sort of a hollow experience without it

938 0 days since armed invasion of Capitol

That may be true for the biggest and most far-reaching things he does, but we don’t need to know every daily controversy with changing the signage on a San Francisco building. It’s overload.

Every tweet he puts out with an ignorant opinion is probably not newsworthy enough to be disseminated widely; that’s actually exactly what he would want to happen.

Even dropping from 4 major Musk related outrage stories a day to a couple a week would be a much healthier discourse, without stamping out any important information like your concerned about.

It feels like the Streisand effect is negatively impacting me/everyone else in this instance

I despise the guy, but I’m tired of hearing about every stupid exploit. He’s so fabulously rich that no negative publicity can really cause reprecussions, I feel like it now just keeps him constantly in the public eye a la Trump circa 2016

Needs a special character?

This is how Mickey Mouse comes into creation

Every house essentially having a small storefront space attached. But it’s just to park a car

If you don’t choose to believe in it, it can’t hurt you. That’s verified fact

Salix is right that it alludes to the Dead Internet Theory.

I don’t actually subscribe to the full theory that the internet is already dead and we only talk to bots, but I do think bot activity may become advanced and pervasive enough to create a “Dead Internet” like scenario (or at least fundamentally alter platforms away from what we currently know as the internet experience)

These companies not being able to handle bot attacks without hamstringing major parts of their platforms is a canary in the coal mine for the Dead Internet.

Or maybe load billions more in debt onto a company that was just barely treading water

If it’s like the subreddit, it’s owned by the Sitecore company (CMS software) and they post a constant flow of updates.

So yes to everything except the bot part

It’s as if the site has prepared a starter culture of past successful memes to help ferment Lemmy’s shitposting

Why does the vending machine make all the bottles disappear?

Those are just as valuable as the food in the Middle Ages. An airtight sealed container that never degrades would be a game changer. You could sell it for more than the food

It’s in bad taste to speak ill of the dead
