It’s also against the #1 rule of this community

Yes absolutely, and that’s why I don’t think commercial
socialmedia will die. But I do think it will come to more be associated with activities gambling or vaping. - Comment on ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Was Denied 2-Hour Finale Movie, Says Sonequa Martin-Green 4 days ago:

There will always be two types of users: people looking to connect and people looking to be entertained. Fedi is better at the former and commercial better at the latter.
- Comment on I want to see Vulcan fail 1 week ago:
Sarek felt that he could have demonstrated more affection towards his human wife in a way that was meaningful to her. That is not the same thing as saying that Vulcan culture is unaffectionate.
- Comment on I want to see Vulcan fail 1 week ago:
OP is referring to Vulcan culture. Sarek’s displays of affection would probably not be considered “restrained” in a Vulcan-Vulcan relationship.
- Comment on I want to see Vulcan fail 1 week ago:
I don’t know if it’s correct to say that Vulcan culture is unaffectionate, just affectionate in the way you prefer. Remember: Spock was played the way he was in the 1960s to demonstrate the distance humans are willing to go to tolerate other cultures, no matter how (literally in this case) alien.
There’s definitely a lot to unpack in suggesting that their culture deserves to “fail” because they do not assimilate (lol) into your culture.
- Comment on "Art Is Not A Democracy" Nicholas Meyer On Star Trek Movies And Discovery 2 weeks ago:
I love the TOS Mudd episodes (and Roger Carmel’s performance) but I have to agree with everything you said.
- Comment on These two should have had a spin off series 2 weeks ago:
I’m still waiting on an Okana spinoff simply titled Star Trek: Outrageous

People get so weird about Dansup.
- Comment on The fediverse has a bullying problem 3 weeks ago:
If Mastodon/Fedi was at the scale those platforms are we would see more harassment, absolutely. It remains to be proven but I think federation enables a lot more eyes on content which implies harassing material can be removed more quickly.
Federation/decentralization solves a lot of problems over centralized social media, but ultimatley you can’t engineer human nature.
- Comment on Bluesky made more money selling T-shirts mocking Mark Zuckerberg in one day than it has in two years of selling custom domains 4 weeks ago:
The reason behind his weird android haircut is that he thought it looked Caesar-esque.
- Comment on PieFed supports auto merging threads so you see all the comments in one post 4 weeks ago:
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I kind of hate this? I think most communities are lazily moderated and I don’t want to have every goon’s unmoderated takes on whatever the topic is forced in front of my eyeballs.
- Comment on Why is a two-party system considered democratic? 4 weeks ago:
The American system is far from ideal but I’m convinced 90% of social media posts decrying a “lack of choice” or “monoparty” are cynical actors trying to make pro-democracy voters feel hopeless. I remember in 2019 all of the “The DNC installed Biden” language was all over Reddit.

“Portable identities” is a major feature of Mastodon and ActivityPub platforms in general. It’ll be on Lemmy one day too.

“Fag” is a homophobic slur and “shoop da woop” is a blackface meme and yes it was all very normal 4chan.

/r/conservative is not comprised of real conservative people, it only exists to expose “normie” redditors to MAGA propoganda while giving the MAGA movement the pretense of legitimacy.

“Shoop da woop” was a popular 4chan meme dating to at least 2006. Also the whole “newfag”, “oldfag” etc thing has been going on since forever.
