lemmy was like the poison that got me on the road to recovery lol. after years of reddit i was literally one of the first ppl here in the post-api wave, i couldn’t give up scrolling but was so mad about the ethics. switched instances a couple times but in the end you just realize that social media as a concept, even if it’s technically hosted non-profit, is still structured after a model that was created to serve capital. lemmy still enables toxicity in the same way reddit did, and i was just like damn why would i invest time in a platform that doesn’t even make me happy haha

i know hehe thats why i linked it

aw man :(

my blocklist grew to like over 80 then i was like, damn shawty do you actually like being here?, then i left 😅

definitely happens on non political memes and linux communities in my experience :(

thanks i guess lol, i was pretty young when i first heard it and it’s a pretty useful model so i like to share :)

thanks stranger bestie, see you in the parking lot after bagging <3

historical versus final purpose :)

ur the one reading a post from half a year ago hehe edit i totally misread like 4 of your words, my fault! here ya go https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2024/04/30/man-bear-tiktok-debate-explainer/73519921007/

we did not luck out and the plan was not “biden bad.”

the plan was “biden is increasingly showing age and is actively losing an election that should be easy to win. polling shows that any other generic nominee does better than joseph robinette biden, so the logical next step is to replace him with his vice president.”

the trouble is we said that, and you didn’t listen. i was actively scoffed at and called a nazi for saying the above. poll data that showed proof of the above was downvoted and called manipulation. even when the donors started stepping down, it was still called fraudulent and irrelevant. i never hand waved someone asking me who replaces biden, and i always responded harris especially as the time got later. and again i was downvoted and scoffed at for that.

this was not luck, and you should start actively listening to people you disagree with more because you display some saddening signs of intentional ignorance here.

me learning i have the power to split an entire party by making a post on literally the most niche tiny and on-the-ground inactive community on the internet 🤯🤯🤯

<3

i agree with you on paragraph 1, ngl

2nd par depends on what metrics “optimal” describes, but generally, sure :)

what lol

thank you, it’s good to be heard and acknowledged for once :)

yeah have a good one :)

wish i got this well thought out and measured of a response 4 months ago. instead it was me getting called. “russian bot” “useful idiot” “MAGA troll” 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ me being “lucky” or not, did not justify that level of toxicity. thanks for this post tho

i dont want anything <3
