obsessed with conspiracies and psyops, has a massive digital footprint from being terminally online

Yeah I was gonna say… That one checks out on lemmy as well.

This doesn’t ring true at all for me. I still like a lot of the people who are on Reddit and it has helpful, interesting content. Much better niche stuff than Lemmy. I just disagree with the way it’s heading administratively and I think it will ultimately mean the community and content aren’t valuable enough to keep visiting. It’s why I’m on lemmy now, not necessarily because all the content here is better yet.

Definetly still alot of good content on reddit. Lemmy is very new so the niche communities arent here, and lemmy doesnt have years of post and comment history to fill things out.
I do think with time those things will happen on lemmy & that the administrative priorities of reddit will slowly make that space less useful. Right now both have their uses, but i have high hopes for the furture of decentralized social media.

Something something glass houses and stones and all. Self awareness goes pretty far as a skill.

Remember what an absolute dumpster fire The Donald was? I remember one of their users got a front page post one day and said he called in sick to work to stay home and answer all the comments because he was so excited lol

I get it. I skipped school once to do an online ARG for the second film in the Saw franchise.

At least when I first started using the site, it was staunchly atheistic. I mean, you were subbed to r/Atheism automatically.

gay hentai
That’s called yaoi if you may
Meron35@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Actually, “gay hentai” could refer to yaoi (gay hentai for women), “bara” (gay hentai for men) or “shota” (gay hentai for those who belong in jail)
SaltyIceteaMaker@iusearchlinux.fyi 7 months ago
Im pretty sure shota just means “little boy” no? I don’t think this has anything to do with gayness
riodoro1@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Nobody cares, to us it’s just gay hentai.
SaltyIceteaMaker@iusearchlinux.fyi 7 months ago
Well people who read/watch hentai care

You can kick the rat out of Reddit, but you can never kick Reddit out of the rat.

I had been on reddit for well over a decade. Joined because I miss message boards that died when Facebook became a thing. I spent almost 15 years on different message boards for different interests and just wanted that feeling of community back.
And it was fine, until americans decided to go full blown nazi. Now there is nothing but americans shitting on every minority they can get away with and reddit mods do fuck all about it.
Not everyone online is american and the rest of us are fucking done with their bullshit. The internet is a global community not a recruiting platform for nazis.

Its crazier going back to reddit and asking if each post is really just an advertising for someone’s product. Its surprising how often a post is a commercial vs real content.
I saw one yesterday for a water bouncing scooter thing where a guy rides across a river and delivers a beer. Water scooter gets placed perfectly to showcase the name. Multiple comment chains of “cool this looks fun what is it how does it work” along with explanations and hype threads like its a ginsu knife at a Florida flea market

I saw that shit, did you see how hard that guy had to work that thing to keep it upright? Probably not the couch potato weekend toy people hope it is.
Totally an ad.
steeznson@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Saw a post the other day on AskUk or somewhere similar which was the most blatant astroturfing I’ve seen to date. It was someone asking if people had seen the latest ad for a toilet paper brand on tv with a brief description of the ad. The ad itself sounded like it had been designed to be a bit gross to up the meme potential, didn’t watch it though.
Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Makes me wonder where these ad people go to air their dirty laundry. Its an industry that never seems to reveal their secrets but we all know they do some crazy stuff. Hell they use to flash images of food in the movies decades ago right before intermission so movie goers would get hungry
LesserAbe@lemmy.world 7 months ago
That doesn’t line up with my experience at all. I wonder if it might be that the subreddits a person follows make a big difference.
hazeebabee@slrpnk.net 7 months ago
It definetly does. Small niche subs dont attract advertisers the way the massive subs do.
It makes sense advertisers are going to target spaces with the most people
