  • Yeah, every time I see people saying that they like the amount of users now just makes me think “hmmm must be nice that all of your particular niches and tastes are accounted for”. It’s pretty silly to be so anti growth for this place anyway. Even on Reddit, you literally have a choice to take part in the bigger ‘default’ subs or find a smaller one if that suits you. And I like choice.

    This place still has a long way to go IMO. I’m starting to resort to lurking chat / ask style communities more just for something to do around here and even there, it’s not quite as engaging or active as it should be. As a humble user, sometimes I don’t have something particular in mind that I want to see. Sometimes I just want to bed rot and scroll and read people’s stories and discussions, maybe give my two cents if I feel so inclined. And there isn’t really that here yet because once you’ve checked AskLemmy or whatever, you’ve already seen 90% of the content for the next week.




  • Lol holy shit. And a few hours later he’s going to deny that he denied the exemption and be like “what are you talking about? I said certain electronics are exempt!”

    I’m starting to think that maybe the reason Elon Musk did two blatant nazi salutes in a row was to test what they could do in front of everyone’s eyes while denying it, and to see how many people would just go “ok sure, I didn’t see what I just saw. Whatever you say, dear leader.”


  • I’m also thinking of SAC 2045, which I’ve tried to like, I’ve even watched it twice now. And I don’t want to drag it down too much because some people did enjoy it and we’re all allowed to enjoy what we want. But I honestly chalk the fact that it felt kinda dumbed down a bit (compared to the OG Stand Alone Complex, that is) and had the USA crammed into it so much to Netflix’s involvement.

    Especially ever since the Witcher debacle where the showrunners mentioned intentionally dumbing it down, or hearing about how Netflix strives to make content for people who are browsing on their phones at the same time, I would never 100% trust them with something like Ghost in the Shell.




  • Where are all the free speech warriors? Shouldn’t they be blocking freeways with trucks and going on about the ‘deep state’ and new world order right about now? And what about the king ‘free speech absolutionist’ and all of his bootlickers? Shouldn’t they be defending the values that they apparently care so deeply about right about now? Where’s the rioting on twitter?

    If you were a fresh faced, bright eyed gen Zer straight out of school that got caught up in and fooled by this bullshit, I could maybe forgive you if you actually used your own brains for once and your own eyes to see these hypocrites, liars and idiots in action and to see what they’re really made of and all about.

    Anyone older than gen Z can get fucked though because no one older than 25 has an excuse to have not seen these people for what they really are. Anyone that grew up with these clowns calling everything from Ninja Turtles to Pokemon evil and trying to ban rap music and heavy metal should’ve been able to see from a mile away that they just swapped the word ‘evil’ for ‘woke’. Anyone older than 25 that fell for this must’ve been a piece of shit to begin with.



  • And I’m willing to bet that it’s all the same states where they make the biggest noise about how much they care about the kids while also wanting to marry them and fuck them.

    This is one of the biggest reasons that I think reason number 1 that Trump and co won is hatred. Full stop. You can’t claim that it was some attempt to protect children from the ‘woke agenda’ when you instead supported people that have had a reputation and tendency to want to marry, fuck and send children to work in the mines for decades now.

    You can’t claim it was for a better economy when Trump has a well known history of even bankrupting casinos and spent his entire previous presidency golfing. You can’t claim it’s ‘anti-establishment’ when all of the richest people in the world are amassing more power than ever before. You can’t claim it’s about freedom when we all watched Trump allow Erdogan’s bodyguards to rough up American citizens on American soil the last time Trump was in charge. And you can’t claim it’s for ‘free speech’ when people get sent to prison for political beliefs.

    It’s nothing but hatred. These dumb fucking inbred clowns hate so strongly that they were willing to not only sacrifice the rights of their own mothers and sisters and daughters but were also willing to let their children grow up in a world run by known kiddie fiddlers with article after article backing up the evidence that the biggest pedos around are southern republicans and preachers.

    Hateful, evil, profoundly fucking stupid people.


  • Billionaires actually need to fucking go. My whole life there has been this hypothetical question of “what if billionaires actually used their money for good” along with this quiet acceptance by society that it’ll never actually happen.

    But now, as it turns out, not only are they doing nothing good for the world with their wealth but they actually actively use their wealth to buy up all the news organisations, push misinformation, prop up right wingers and inflict misery onto everyone.

    I think it’s great that they’re starting to turn on the orange painted clown with the comically large tie but that’s not because of his desire to hurt everyone that isn’t a white cis male and push hate, nope, that’s exactly what these fucking cunts wanted. It’s just that he’s a bit more fucking stupid than they bargained for now and now they’re numbers are going down. How awful for them.

    Fuck them. I hope that there’s nothing but guillotines and rope in their futures.

    I look forward to all of the Fable ‘fans’ coming out of the woodwork to complain that the female characters and designs don’t look like porcelain anime supermodels. It’s going to be X-Men '97 all over again with a bunch of people that clearly weren’t ever fans of the original complaining about their “childhoods being ruined.”

    I suggest that any and all one handed Gamers™ first take a look at the original character designs before opening their stupid mouths and complaining about the wOkE agENdA making characters uglier.



  • I definitely understand the aversion to algorithms because just look at what platforms like Facebook, Twitter or even Reddit these days do with them. In the wrong hands, it’s deceptive and dodgy as fuck.

    But I wouldn’t be opposed to an algorithm that you can tailor yourself. And I don’t mean Bluesky style ‘tailoring’, I mean give us a list of interests and categories to toggle that then have more weight in the feed. So for example, if you like metal, you would then see more metal related stuff in your feed and not have it downed out by Taylor Swift and Kanye West because upvotes.

    And something I picked up from Facebook (even though it doesn’t work for shit on Facebook because their algorithm is mentally handicapped) is being able to ‘favourite’ something. And by doing that, not just pinning it to the top of the list of communities but actually making it appear in your feed more whether the upvotes are a high amount or not.
