communism is when…

people use adblockers, apparently

but like, why did it take him tanking Twitter for many to realize that he’s just a manbaby with a diamond-encrusted platinum pacifier

like it’s really weird that it wasn’t clear when he called that one guy who saved those kids in that cave a pedophile because the guy told Musk that his invention wouldn’t be useful for the rescue effort; like people didn’t see how shitty he was after he said that

tbf, grimes is not better

would expect both of them to be less like this if that were the case

WE as humans are the problem.

you can count the owners of the entities that produce the most greenhouse gases within 3 digits; it’s not “everybody”

although it’s very common for the earlier generation to blame the later generation for the world sucking (or what they percieve as “sucking”), in this case it doesn’t work because not every boomer and gen-x-er is a CEO or past CEO

like they’re wrong to blame the later generations for this, but that’s because it’s not mainly a generational thing

but the thing about voting is that basically every politician is either:

1. In the pocket of one or more corporations
2. Literally part of a corporation (or outright owns one)
3. A politician at who doesn’t have as much power as the former two or is in the pocket of one of them

so we could vote for John StopClimateChange, and then find out that every single thing that Mr. StopClimateChange said about his crusade to stopping climate change was not at all true or was so utterly miniscule in the long run as to be meaningless

then what?

and guess who lobbies a ridiculous amount to either keep the rules the same or bias it further towards their interests

yep, corporations once again

why is this man like this

I did not know minecoins were a thing

but in any case, I’m not saying that they’re making a good decision, just that I don’t see the point of reddit gold

on one hand, reddit gold is useless and a waste of money imo

other hand, they just keep going for making the most controversial decisions with zero thought lmao

he absolutely would find friends in law enforcement; people like them often flock to jobs that allow you to exert authority by force

why not? the thing about the Fediverse, once again, is that you get to choose who you want your instance to associate with

they temporarily don’t want to associate with big instances with loose registration requirements, and it’s because they’re afraid that they wouldn’t be able to handle any possible flows of bad actors from those instances with how small their team is and how barebones the Lemmy mod tools are currently

which sounds really reasonable to be quite honest

a lot of people back on Reddit could not give less of a shit about the issues and just want their content; they even see this as just mods powertripping again

it’s kind of annoying to see that, tbh, even if I sort of get it

Oh, cool; more reason to use Piped and Invidious lmao

It is; I’ve seen some Reddit users complain about how the fediverse isn’t immediately easy to use and is too complicated and confusing

which is understandable, but also it feels like some of those who are complaining about it (I am stressing right now that I don’t mean all of them) straight up don’t want to have to learn about it; they want their content immediately and they want it as simple as pushing a button

by who, though? Itself?

It’s very interesting so far, and the idea of being able to access this via Mastodon is really cool to me
