Finally. It would have been nice to see these tactics denounced a decade or two ago, but better late than never, I guess. I’m glad to see it.

Never owned a bird account. Spent 17 years at Reddit.
Be excellent to each other. She/Her. GenX.

“That is what everybody on Earth will know,” he said. “We’ll be gone, and it’ll be gone because of an advertiser boycott.”
Oh no, not at all, dear … everybody on Earth is perfectly aware that it is YOU who is killing the company. Twisting the narrative to feel better within yourself ain’t gonna change the fact. Why would any advertiser worth a damn, want to be associated with Stormfront 2.0?
Ren is a lyrical genius and I love his rapping style. Great post.
Who wants a generic old waterfall photo that you can find hundreds of pictures of on the web, when you can have a waterfall and Borker photo that’s completely unique?
It’s a heat/cold powered cycle … once the temp regulates the same everywhere, there is no more cycle.
the value seems to be entirely in the packaging.
How true and how ridiculous is that?! At least my Pop Vinyls & Star Trek Hot-wheels collectibles are still functional toys if they are ever removed from their packaging.
They say they are expected to accept contracts that were designed for the old business model while the industry structure and technologies have changed. Here’s some video of the speeches & demonstrations.
I think a time will come in our dystopian future where it will be trendy to have a performance by a real actor or a traditional painting created by a real artist … that will be the gimmick, so to say.
Give 'em an inch and they’ll take a mile.
I never realized the storylines in Detroit were that short.
quick Google search tells me average play-thru time is 12hrs and completionist is 32hrs, so I dunno what I was looking at. I’m 5hours in, so it remains to be seen whether it’s gonna take me 32hours or 64hours minimum. 🤣 You’ll have to forgive me, it’s the steam sale so I’ve been looking at lots of games. Not that I need any more because I’ve probably only ever touched a quarter of my library, if that!
someone said all the hoops would keep the idiots out,
Yeah I liked that take as well. That layer of jargon really is a fantastic filter.
get my head around the fact that I had to also join any instance I wanted to respond to
Wait. What? Why are you doing that?
Don’t worry, I hear ya! I’m currently 4.9 hours in on my first run of the story game, Detroit. People in the reviews say it is a short game and they have less than 3 hours playtime … but I don’t wanna miss any narrative or clues! haha!
I joined Mastadon in December and that’s when I first tried to understand it all. I researched a server to join and it was right confusing … what if I picked the wrong one? Then I pretty much abandoned the account because I didn’t understand how to stay on my own server while browsing around (also didn’t help that I’d never used Twitter either, so I didn’t actually know what I sposed to be doing lol).
Then the whole reddit debacle happened and I signed up for a Lemmy & Kbin. And there was all the jargon again. But I think because I was actually jumping ship from reddit, this time I wanted my move to have staying power. So it was unusual for me to “skip the tutorial” but I was getting so frustrated with the jargon, while I could see others were already having conversations. And it was through the participation that the jargon finally defined itself. I even use my mastodon now, as well!
I think a great many users came to the Fediverse because they were not happy with their experience on FB, Reddit et al and were looking for something that is not that. Why should those users then be expected to recreate that model, or allow that content into this community? People here have already left those massive communities, and connections, and you speak like they lament that choice.
It took me hours of trying to read through not-my-kind-of-jargon to understand
I started off going down that road of trying to understand it, but my laziness and impatience got in the way and said “just start using it and you’ll work it out.” And that’s exactly what happened for me. In a way, the explanations made it all sound much more confusing than it really is. Sometimes you just gotta take a deep breath and dive in.
Amazon Prime (because it comes with the service), and Netflix (until anyone on my account gets a “shared password” block, then I’m cancelling it).
John Oliver so sexy you don’t even have to ask the AI to make him so …
Who is going to conduct the “investigation”?
