Also [email protected]. Not a lot of Zeppos out here.
That’s how Facebook went for me the last time I tried to use it with a new account… I was immediately swamped with friend requests from people in western and central Africa. I accepted some out of curiosity so of course FB decided that’s what I was really into. I’m not sure if these people just send out random requests or why they want to add Americans… I didn’t get hit up for scams or anything, it was just people posting and sharing photos of their lives as normal FB users.
Sounds like BitTorrent, too
I’ve definitely noticed people who challenge anything you say by asking for a source, but make tons of unsourced claims themselves.
To the point at least. The impression I always got was that it was meant to imply you’d have money by then and not want to pay taxes.
The people who told me that were 100% boomers. There’s that idiotic saying “if you’re not liberal* when you’re 20, you have no heart. If you’re not conservative when you’re 40 you have no brains” ok boomer.
Note this is using the US meaning of liberal, not to mean “capitalist”.
interesting how it has the tilt shift look.
Before the musk acquisition I had something like 8,000 people blocked… mostly the inane shit like “Patriot Christian Dog Mom” or incredible douchebags like “dc_draino”.
I mean, we’ve been saying this to people of this viewpoint on Lemmy all year and so far, not one I’ve seen has ever said “oh, you have a point”.
Wow… a morning broadcast, apparently? Imagine seeing that with your kids before school. “Dad, what’s a ‘sex toy’?”
It’s like Elon Musk has managed to make Mark Zuckerberg seem like a good person by comparison. Or Trump was so awful that Democrats look back and think “huh, GWB was a decent president”
I would think Betsy DeVos should be on there too.
His stake in his awful social media platform is worth an absurd amount currently, but as far as everything else I assume he barely owns any of it or it’s weighed out by debts. I mean the dude is trying to sling bibles, shoes and NFTs.
I’ve noticed “leftists” on Lemmy are reeeeaaallly confused about US politics.
It’s more about immature and angsty dorks than “challenging misperceptions”
I don’t know where you live so I don’t have any relevant suggestions, sorry.
Not by voting for people in elections they can’t win. Vote at the local and state level or in primaries for people who will enact voting reform.
This is a step beyond sexual harassment. It’s viscerally disgusting.
Not really what the headline is trying to say… AI debates means debates about AI, not AI participating in debates.
Definitely. Back when I used FB and Twitter I learned that reporting is entirely useless. You just end up with some automated message about how they reviewed it and it “didn’t violate their community standards” with some lame verbiage like “we realize this isn’t the outcome you were looking for”, regardless of how ridiculously blatant whatever you reported was. On the flip side, I was banned for clearly misinterpreted or brigaded comments, and then an appeal just gives you the inverse where they reviewed it and whatever you posted was definitely terrible and they “realize this isn’t the outcome you were looking for”.
By making it even worse?
