Dropout, New Smosh and even most of the video essay YouTubers that are on Nebula would like to have a word with you

Fair point

Every day the call of the high seas gets stronger.

I think a surefire way to help with this would be to have a rule that any instance that becomes the largest one on Lemmy should lock itself instantly. That way, we’ll only surpass the current max number of users on a single instance until it’s completely spread out

No peaceful end of term, maybe. They might have to find out January 6th doesn’t just come once, and it doesn’t always have to be at the Capitol.

I saw Season 1 and quite liked it. This just reminded me to go catch up.

This is the video that led me to actually start taking a hard look at social media (I was already off of Instagram, but that was almost unconscious in that I just started loathing the app), and led me down the rabbit hole that eventually led me to Lemmy!

Inb4 they start making tiktoks about ignoring the calming music

Next you’re going to tell me they don’t have the high ground, either.

Even if it’s just links, taking the time to find them yourself and post them is a useful step, since relevant doesn’t always mean insightful or interesting.

Also, you’re not completely tied to links. Make/ask for recommendations, life pro tips, etc.

This is such a well written piece, it’s closer to a serious article than a blogpost

All three posts are still up though, and the usernames of the posters are visible as well.

I know it’s bad, but I don’t think they’d openly admit that it was because of Luigi, even if it did happen. They’re too smart for that, given how vaguely they’ve been phrasing their new rules and enforcement policies.

I was right there as well. I saw creators I trust putting out stuff talking about the state of social media today (Technology Connections on YouTube in particular) and that was around when I started diving back into bluesky, then after a little more reading around, mastodon and lemmy. Never looked back after that.

I imagine it’s a convenient way to weed out all those pesky people saying inconvenient things that investors don’t like

Ah, yes. The theoretical good billionaire.

Created a fake album cover inspired by this!

Oh, that’s really cool! Thanks
