I love how early in the bible, Satan’s role is actually to be the contrarian to God’s designs. Doesn’t actually commit any evil unless given permission by God to do so. Is kinda treated like one of the angels rather than the fallen one.

Trump travels back in time, and mugs Socrates with his invisible gun.

Click on comments hoping to find conversations on the ethics of AI porn. Instead find a 20+ comment chain scrutinizing the details of the feet and other features on the thumbnail.

Happy to know some trekky out their is living their dream job.

Redneck here. Lemme check.

“HEY PAUL! INNERNET WANNA KNOW WHAT COUNTRY YER FROM!”

I mean…I do like cheese

Well it’s not like the Youtube comment section is where I would expect anyone to safely interact.

Like I’m forgiving of artists because most of their customer base is there, and internationally, alt platforms are even more unknown. I am somewhat forgiving of journalists who want to reach the widest amount of people possible, despite the fact that Musk has been intentionally targeting and censoring journalists he doesn’t like.

I really don’t get a lot of leftist or liberal content creators though. Many constantly push the message that you vote with your wallet, and discourage patronizing businesses, services, or franchises that actively hate or harm marginalized people. Yet at the same time, they are using a platform owned by some who is literally trying to make the platform as hostile to marginalized people as possible. A lot of users have left twitter because they no longer feel safe using the platform. In fact, the reason you see a lot of queer people here on fediverse is because many of them are twitter refugees.

And yet many leftist and liberal creators remain on twitter, exclusively in fact. I could understand it if they pushed some content to alts to keep within reach of users that left while still maintaining their fanbase on twitter, but many of them won’t even touch any of the alternatives, much less make themselves more reachable on youtube or other social platforms. By remaining on twitter, they are encouraging their userbase to remain as well, which creates engagement, which benefits ad companies who pay Musk, who funnels that into groups and causes that undermine these users.

At this point, It is an integrity test for me. How large is this creator’s following on twitter? How often does this person post and interact on twitter? and What have they said in the past about interacting with harmful brands? What’s their excuse for remaining if any, and would they had accepted that excuse if the shoe was on the other foot?

I accept some people have an addiction, and as someone who tried to leave reddit many times, I know it can be a hard one to kick. But if your brand is built on integrity, standing up for the marginalized, and being ethical with your consumption habbits, remaining active on twitter is not a good look to me.

As a former redditor, fair.

I’ve just learned to follow smaller accounts with similar interest. As a celebrity follow machine, it’s awful because nobody is really on there officially except for a handful of people.

Hashtags are much more important on Masto too cause without an algorithm, its one of the only ways your posts are visible to others. I find with the right combo of tags though, I can get a decent amount of interaction.

There was a good solid week where most of my attention was focused on Mastodon. I guess it all depends on what you were originally using twitter for. I guess it clicked for me cause I barely used twitter to begin with.

British Petroleum. The meme comes from the South Park episode lampooning the BP oil spill and BP’s response to it. The meme is making fun of the fact that youtubers use the same non-apology whenever they’re in trouble.

Isn’t that the show with the lightsabers?

yep!

What if the internet archives, instead of a single site, was a bunch of federated instances sharing content with each other like fediverse?

I am of course very ignorant to how internet archives actually works, and not very tech savy, but would something like I’m suggesting be theoretically possible?

The animated series that feels nothing like the movies for some reason.

It’s The_Boulder for enthusiasts of the Avatar character.

They were, but it kinda feels like every new instance I try is a kinder egg of new errors and issues. I would also like to return to my old instance if I can.

I thought he was the guy who ripped off vanilla ice tho.

Let us all thank David Bowie for the Mcdonald’s gift certificates!

I will love and protec it all the same!
