An incomplete list of reasons I block accounts:

  • Ranting about journalism rather than discussing the actual news.
  • Whining about paywalls rather than just circumventing them yourself. It’s 2024 you should know how to use an archival site by now. Don’t expect everyone to everything for you.

Well, now I feel like an idiot. I've always assumed that was just an expression!

Yep, it's a little too accurate for my liking. My cat's got me wrapped around his tiny little adorable paw and he knows it.

“I hope they stop. Don’t advertise, If somebody is going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go fuck yourself. Go fuck yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is." - Elon Musk, November 27th 2023

OpenAI, meanwhile, accused Musk of essentially being jealous that he was no longer involved in the startup, after he left OpenAI in 2018 following an unsuccessful bid to convince his fellow co-founders to let Tesla acquire it.

So a spoiled brat had a massive hissy fit after not getting his way? Yeah, that sounds like Elon alright.

I'll just drop this here:

Kyle Rittenhouse’s Former Handler Reveals That He’s a Middle School Dropout Who Is ‘Angry With the World’

This dude isn't just your run of the mill conservative idiot, he's exceptionally stupid.

Well that makes sense, after all, Nazi bars do tend to be hostile to members of any minority group and Twitter is the biggest Nazi bar on the internet.

r/The_Donald helped radicalize users into far-right identities and discourse – Active users on r/The_Donald increasingly used white nationalist vocabularies in their comments within three months. ( journals.sagepub.com )

I know most people that were on reddit at the time are fully aware of this and won't be surprised but don't dismiss the findings out of hand. It's important that studies are being conducted and the fact that the finding match our lived experience is still noteworthy.

Yeah, I've always described r/Conservative as The_Donald dressed up in their dad's suit and tie. But once The_Donald was finally banned (after they already left for their own website - thanks for nothing spez) r/Conservative dropped all pretenses.

It's 2024, anyone feigning ignorance about what constitutes a "far-right vocabulary" is just being disingenuous.

Did it actually radicalize, or just take the mask off?

When a community allows you to feel comfortable "taking the mask off" and embracing your inner bigot that is radicalization. So yes, The_Donald did radicalize people. Your comment is an attempt to highlight a distinction without a functional difference.

"Increasingly" is the key word there, pal.

“Gamer precursor” is a bit of a surprise.

I use Alexandrite on desktop but I'm excited about Lemmy-UI-Next which (IIRC) is being developed by one of admins of lemm.ee. It looks very promising.

For mobile I'm using Voyager (this account is actually on the instance for supporters.) I've tried everything available for iOS but Voyager is my daily driver, nothing else comes close to ticking as many boxes as Voyager does for me. I have Apollo sideloaded on my phone and it's incredible how much progress Voyager has made toward replicating the experience which is exactly what I want in a mobile app for Lemmy. The only thing it's missing is my favorite Apollo theme (Outrun).

Yeah I wanted to love mlmym but it's just too buggy and laggy for me. Hopefully lemmy-ui-next will prove to be a good replacement. If anyone's curious, that UI can previewed at: next.lemm.ee

Unfortunately, it's not hard to find them on lemmy too.

Edit: lmao looks like the incels and Tater tots have arrived. Hey fellas!

Republicans are now the pro-dog killing party lol. If there's one thing you can depend on Republicans to do, it's make the dumbest choice imaginable in any given situation.

In November, Borgers’ firm was also removed from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ peer-review program.

BF Borgers, the organization said, was “so seriously deficient in its performance that education and remedial, corrective actions are not adequate.”

"In our professional opinion, these people are too dumb to learn." They sound perfect for Trump.

The movement known as “Gamergate 2” has been in the news cycle for quite a while now

Has it? I don't get all my news from right wing chuds on YouTube so I haven't seen much about it.
