We shouldn’t have to OPT OUT of being assaulted. I’m bringing matches.

Scotty, the Scottster, making copies…

Thank you. Not super techie and just needed the meme explained.

And btw… sounds like damn good work if you can get it.

First: allow me to welcome all new members of LEMMY.

Seriously, whatever flavor you are federating from. And pardon me I have not read this entire thread of replies but I hope it is full of nothing but welcome!

Not all of Lemmy is political. A lot is though, so I can imagine that it may seem charged.

But what’s really happening here is that everything is… transparent. That’s why I’m here. If there is bias, it’s visible.

The trouble with the corporate alternatives is that their hidden bias is: control. Pardon the politics even here, but the fact is our society has never reflected a situation where one group exercises dictatorial control over almost everyone with complete immunity.

Because with all their creepy animated emoji things and predictive analytics they are putting folks asleep. Wake, work, isolate, Sleep. This is the bias of corporate social media. Emphasis on isolate.

So… welcome…

And enjoy. It’s nice to be a part of a place where people are more awake.

But under all interactions should be the vibe that we all in this together.

So welcome. Enjoy. Find you place and your people. Ignore posts that alarm or annoy you.

Sames. My employers subscribed to the mobile version of the app we were all working with forever and it was like have strings cut. So… yeah… good to be able to catch up at the beach.

I think we are asking too much of phones. I’m not even certain we are in charge of the wanting any more… they dangle… we salivate.

No… I haven’t gone back to flip phone yet but I’m sure tempted.

Is it a networked surveillance nightmare?

Jealousy.

I’ve been lurking in ALL for about a week pretty consistently having now completely abandoned the alternatives and I’m not sure I saw the image in question. In fact, I’m pretty sure I didn’t. So, those of you worried about the image… many of us, I presume, didn’t even see it. Anyway… glad to see there is a process to deal with miscreance and glad to know it works!

It’s legal in many countries. You might want to check out how it plays out there in terms of human rights?

Bless you for blessing us.

And now do the same people see it as a vehicle that could possibly dismantle corporate social media hegemony?

That’s great!

I like it.

Totally agree. Just the first time I have seen the notation.

Hmph… I chose to see it as: LET ME, and I shall persist in this.

Thanks everyone for the comments. I have been educated.

So… when there is some controversy over an article in Lemmy it gets the strike though? How did this evolve?
