This is why Mastodon is so populated compared to the lemmy. Elon just keeps making more and more mistakes.

For anyone panicking, this is exactly like what happened with the transition from ICQ to AOL messenger, from MySpace to Facebook, from 9gag/etc to Reddit, and so on.
Website makes a mistake, some people leave. Makes another, more leave. Each time this happens, more ‘main’ people of said website leave. Hell, I already saw PoppinKREAM here, so that’s a great start.
So this is exactly how it always goes. The fact it is still here means it’s staying. Look at Threads, or Metaverse, whatever those things are. All dying or dead, barely lasted. Lemmy is still here, people are still posting, so just keep doing what you’re doing. It’s already working.

Not sure about the other but PoppinKREAM became known on Reddit during the Mueller probe for very long, very well researched and cited comments mostly related to politics. Their citation style in particular meant their comments got tons of Reddit awards and were highly visible.

PoppinKREAM and Portarossa are two extremely through researchers into politics, mostly US politics, and how we even got here.

Oh I was planning to check for Portarossa, one of the few usernames I recognize
On mastodon or Lemmy?

Lemmy for me, I never used Twitter, so I don’t use Mastodon either

If it wasn’t, it was a damn good imitator.

AnalogyAddict@lemmy.world 11 months ago
So much happiness in this little sound.

Not clicking that. The sound is the thing I miss the least.

It’s like a ratcheting effect. Every time schmeddit fucks up, we gain a few more. And if you can count on Spez for one thing, it’s that he’ll reliably fuck up on the regular.
