Brutticus@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The worst part of all this political nonsense is that porn never makes it to my homepage anymore11·3 个月前A lot of the porn subs on Lemmy are less trafficked. If you are belong to any of them, try sorting by “subscribed” and “hot” or “new.” Also subscribe to more of them.

All of these things are correct, but I would like to posit there was a specific era when it actually became intolerable, and that was about 2013 or so. It was a gradual process, but you noticed more and more “normal threads” getting hijacked and brigaded. Baw threads, or threads where people would post tumblr core sad images (mostly about missing ‘her’) got hijacked by incels (who said something like, “shes fucking chad bro” although the incel vocabulary had yet to be calcified.) You laugh you lose (YLYL) threads got brigaded by people “banana posting” or flooding the thread with images of a specific meme of a banana opening his peel like a trench coat and “exposing” himself to a pair of apples. It was boomer shit, but their alleged point was that YLYL was cringe.
Now, were Baw and YLYL cringe? Maybe. But they were also like, “normal” threads. Normal users would come and post normal content. YLYL threads (and their cousins, Epic threads) were how board culture was preserved, posting collages of greentext posts of particularly noteworthy threads or stories or interactions. The point wasn’t to point out cringe. It was to radicalize young male users who self identified as unlucky in love, to degrade board discourse so no one wanted to even post in “culture” threads, and to either radicalize the young and impressionable who might be receptive to Nazi messaging, and to push away those that were not. 4chan always tolerated Nazis, and there is an old proverb against it.
Moot used to get a ton of hate from the Nazis, because he actually tried to police them. I don’t know if they targeted him or just got lucky, but they had been trying to get rid of him of a while. He left after users found his girlfriend was cheating on him, and posted the photos on 4chan. months later, trump descends a golden escalator…
I miss /tg/. it held out longest from the /pol/ siege. Like nazis would still be there, but it was still a place where you could talk about games and be reasonably sure people wouldn’t talk about nazi shit. I lurked until maybe the first Trump election, whereas I had given up on the rest of the boards long before.
I have this dream that one day I’ll like, sit next to him on an airplane and have a chance to ask him.
I wonder about this sometimes.
Poole knew he had a contentious base of users. I remember in 2013 or 2014, 4chan users posted photographic evidence his gf was cheating on him, and I think it broke him. I dont blame him for selling the site, but 18 months later… I wonder if Moot knew he was holding back the end of the world.
its like… getting a whiff of something I haven’t felt in a long time.
Brutticus@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Four Democrats Pass Bill Making It Harder for Married Women to Vote53·3 个月前They arent going to listen to us until we start blowing up police cars anyway
Brutticus@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•House Republicans Are Set to Pass a Voter Suppression Bill That Would Disenfranchise Millions | “It’s a five-alarm fire for American voters and for election officials”51·3 个月前Most of the Dems are fucking useless. The rest range into acquiescent. We have to stop this dichotomy. Dems had control and they couldn’t even prevent Trump from running again, in spite of J6. They couldn’t even stop deep throating Natanyahu long enough to beat him.
The Dems aren’t going to save us and will have to be removed also.
Brutticus@lemm.eeto Privacy@lemmy.ml•UK creating ‘murder prediction’ tool to identify people most likely to kill2·3 个月前We are begging CEOs to please read the rest of the novel.
I got banned in 2022 for hate speech against Cops. Ive been lurking with libreddit.
As far as I have been led to believe they replaced a lot of interfacing with apps and walled gardens. My work, for example, buys a whole office suite from microsoft. I imagine schools buy preloaded machines from Pearson or whatever.
Last night I offered to help my Zoomer classmate torrent Kamen Rider and he told me he was afraid of going to jail.
I am having this issue. I am watching this thread then
I’ve found Gmail really hates firefox, especially with VPN. I have to use one of those masking extensions. I’ve found that its basically locked me out of my student email.
Brutticus@lemm.eeto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK about Jury Nullification, if you're an American and you don't, look it up.32·5 个月前Okay, but with Luigi, it was self defense.

Brutticus@lemm.eeto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Freetube `[BAD_HTTP_STATUS: 403] Potential causes: IP block or streaming URL deciphering failed` is fixed2·5 个月前So the current build on the site is 2.3.1? How long does it take for the public release?
Brutticus@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles?6·5 个月前Everyone is right; its an easy way to equate “deviancy” and to deny people rights. Its not just LGBT+; whenever nazis want to make a group of people a target, they accuse them of being “rapists” or “pedophiles.” The OG Nazis accused the Jews of wanting to molest Aryan women. Just look at Birth of a Nation. Or Trumps comments about Mexicans being rapists. It is also just generalized dehumanizing language.
But also: there is power in redefining “pedophilia.” It lets them attack LGBT+ by calling them “groomers” but then involve the services of inspectors who exist to… “verify” genitalia? It allows them to bring back child marriage or protect powerful clergy or rich assholes like Epstien, while attacking gay marriage. Libertarians attack the age of consent and want to bring back child labor. Everything becomes pedophilia except actual pedophilia. The real question becomes, why, when one has enough money or institutional power to do anything, like go to space or buy a senator to protect your wealth systemically, why does become extremely interested in fucking children?
Hey look, man, Dems are useless but Ill take some free tacos. Where can I get one?
