Worked great when the artist formerly known as Prince changed his name to a symbol.

This, I’m so sick of “I want to hurt something… so I’m going to continually talk about it”.

It’s the worst in games, because all it does is get more people to talk/know/hear about a game. Cyberpunk 2077 was a bad launch, instead of just harping on that, I wish every post was “Instead of Cyberpunk 2077, I’m playing X game and it’s amazing” Get people interested in something else… and in general stop talking about this shit.

Yep, this is exactly the kind of worthless post that started making reddit unbearable years ago.

Can we please not immediately ruin this new platform with this shit so soon?

Well, you can block me if you are so upset by the quality of my statements…

Why bring up R?

Why are so many posts here bitching/commenting about other sites?

So many posts here sound like someone after a breakup trying to prove to the word just how over their ex they are…but refuse to talk about anything else.

I was talking about OP.

In particular, it’s low effort, attempting to be funny/snarky about about a pop culture or political news item, usually stolen from somewhere else and posted to the wrong community (why is this on asklemmy?), but it gets attention because it panders to the majority of the user base.

Nah. Prince changed his name to stick it to the record label that was fucking him over. That was his livelihood at stake.

No one needs Twitter. I don’t even have an account.

And Prince was so good we would listen to his new stuff no matter what he called himself.

Saw someone on lemmy calling it ‘Ten’, thought that was quite funny.

But ten also sounds kind of cool, we should build our own ten, with blackjack

I like calling it “ten”. I don’t think Musk would like it, so that is what I will call it.

I just call it the “I stopped caring about that site a long time ago” site.
