Are we the baddies?
I think it was called digg?
Edit: I mean this as a glib ignorance of reddit and wanted to look it up for the nostalgia, but holy shit they’re relaunching digg!!!
r$ddit will still exist for at least another 80 years bc there’s always the chance someone will be like: “what was the name of that place I had that conversation on once…? let’s see if it’s still there…”
I would like Reddit to be around forever because of all the good answers from people over the years for different issues, but that’s already been heavily damaged by mods, admins and people using bots to turn all their old comments to gibberish. I hate that actually valuable information is being lost because of ego and greed.
I signed up for the digg relaunch with the hope it can kill Reddit off for good.
I wish lemmy could do it, and the fediverse will always be there for the people who are willing to put in the tiny extra effort. But I think it’ll take something centralized and easy to understand for the average person who doesn’t care about that stuff to really make a dent and start an exodus.
Are we Homelander in this?
I mean. It’s a fun show and all but this meme places us as the murderous megalomaniac, literally one of the worst people on the planet.
I mean… A lot of Lemmy users blindly clap for dictatorial populists because they claim to be from the left, it’s hard to take this as an upgraded site when the only thing you read about your country is government propaganda.
The tankies aren’t in the majority, though that’s what they’d like people to believe, they’re just very very loud
And the bulk of them can be taken care of by blocking the Tankie Triad of .ml, grad and hex
My instance has defederated those 3, I still see accounts from different instances making comments defending the propaganda, downvoting those who say otherwise and crossposting from ml or hex.
Blocking and defederating is basically useless, it helps, but doesn’t do what it should (completely block posts from those instances).
Yeah we don’t relate to that asshole.
Maybe Butcher. He has his own issues, of course, but then so do we.
We’re all Hughies that think they’re Butcher and could never land Annie.
I didn’t really notice until now but The Boys have the classic 4-man personality spread.
Lol maybe. Sometimes I’d say we have a lot of Lamplighters.
But the truth is I never put much stock in the which-character-are-you personality quizzes and, statistically-speaking, I’d wager we have every possible personality type covered.
I like the rat. I trust the rat
