  • 25 years ago. Every study on social media and mental health back then showed it was bad.

  • It was sort of funny, but it only had one punchline and wore out quickly for me. Shock humor has a really low retention rate. Compare that to say, Rejected or the parody GI Joe PSAs, they're really not great and a wonder why Youtube hired them to make their old copyright volition training videos.

  • It was run by genocidal fascists before. Just different ones.

  • Where do you think the parents of all these kids were doing when the kids were with Epstein? They were paid off. Either the kids of super models who are part of the cycle or poor families hoping to get into that cycle.

  • Other people have already confirmed he was a racist, but think Clinical Xenophobe is a more apt distinction. He was a unconformable around minorities, but he was also unconformable about the ocean and the color violet. And he wrote about his discomfort. He didn't write political manifests. This isn't a case of separating the art from the artist, but seeing the art to see the broken person behind it.

  • That one was full mask off. Couldn't be explained by someone trolling. Couldn't even be explained by a profit motive. Just an attention seeking child.

  • especially since most other people would probably be less effort to track down.

    I have politically active friends who are supposedly privacy minded blasting their takes on facebook and complaining when they get banned for inciting violence. Most people are terrible at this and the algos the feds use probably aren't that great. I'm more likely to get grabbed randomly.

  • I've always isolated my username from irl stuff and I don't make any social media posts from my irl stuff. You'd have to be very interested in me specifically and I've always tried to be slightly less noisy then the background noise.

  • now your opinions are based on that bad experience instead of reality.

    The fuck does this mean? How is my experience not reality? What else are my opinions suppose to be based on, if not my experience?

    Reddit was showing signs of introducing a more algo based experience, so I fucked off. They would hardly be the first website I left because of shit like that.

  • I used reddit long before the /r/thedonald showed up. Before /r/atheism became a default sub, which was terrible for the community of that sub. It became meme infested and caused /r/trueatheism to be made for sharing stories about religion intolerance from politicians, educators and employers. At a certain point, I started wholesale blocking any major sub and power user to reclaim some usability, but the API change signaled to me it wasn't worth the effort anymore.

  • A lot of lemmy users are ex reddit users and have reason they switched. I switched because it started looking more and more like twitter.

  • I used reddit for over a decade, but I was never willing to buy reddit gold or support it because I didn't trust any site where I shared my political opinions to have those opinions tied with by real name or any other billing info. Same with discord. At least with lemmy, you can support it without tying it to your account.

  • Have you ever heard a twitter user talk about reddit? They all hate each other.

  • Fortnite players don't have any backbone.

  • They've been huffing their own farts for so long, they don't know what clean air smells like.

  • They haven't since the sarin gas attacks when the gas bombs went off in trash cans.

  • Native American: I am a joke to you?

  • There's an idea among foreigners that Americans use Mayo in every meal. It's because there's a set prop list for refrigerators in productions that every sitcom uses.

    Another example is the Transatlantic accent. At most, it was just used by actors and public announcers because it was clear and easy to understand. The general public didn't talk like that.

  • And how much oil did they sell?
