Cats, and apparently capybaras are an invasive species on social media. I don’t hate them or anything but they show up everywhere in places they have new business being.
Cats are a social media invasive species.

What a Catastrophe!
I think people just like showing off their pets.

SO many cats! But still not nearly enough…
RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Because cats are all little babies and I love every single one! I understand it could get annoying if one was only accepting of cats instead of adoring.

As they should be

If you got a problem with capybaras then you got a problem with me. I suggest you shower marinate on that, bud.

The best kind of invasive!

They are the necessary mental respite between the headlines and bullshit. Working as intended.

Okay what happened with capybara’s on the internet, what did I miss?
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
There have been quite a few cute capybaras on the internet lately, still fewer than cats.
Btw, the only time to use an apostrophe for a plural is for the plural of a lowercase letter:
Strawberry is spelled with 3 r’s.
That’s because otherwise it’s too confusing, especially in a case like:
Individual is spelled with 3 i’s.
where is would look like the word is.

Ah shoot, my language (Dutch) always uses an apostrophe for +s plurals if it ends on a vowel (telefoon > telefoons, but auto > auto’s)
I’ve noticed I use those apostrophes too often in English, maybe because of this.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

They’ve been all over Instagram and TikTok. People have found the most personable and presentable capybaras. I actually came here to post this from that post.

Instagram and TikTok
Ah, that’s what I’ve missed! I thought it was a Lemmy thing and was wondering where the hell the capybara posts were since I didn’t see any, even on All.
Thanks for the explanation!

If anything is an invasive species on social media, it’s bots

Same with dogs.

I don’t like internet cats. Those low quality gifs don’t have anything I can relate to. /srs

There are no native species that they are disrupting to be classified as invasive.
linearchaos@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Maybe if there are not native species, they are invasive by default?
slazer2au@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The only native species on the internet are bugs but the cats don’t seem to care for them.

non-native doesn’t automatically mean invasive.
