I’ve noticed the same thing. I do think part of it is .ml has been accruing users from other, more widely defederated instances like lemmygrad and hexbear.

Trolls want an audience, after all.

All the photographs nominated this year were fantastic but I’m happy to see this one win. It was definitely my favorite.

Every Juggalo I’ve interacted with (sample size of 3) has been the kind of person I’d definitely consider an ally.

Potentially not representative of the greater community, but I’ve yet to experience anything to the contrary.

Actually indistinguishable from Truth social.

You’re only making one person look silly, and it’s not them.

.ml users will never not be the funniest part of this site tbh

It’ll be great to actually play Drunken Master Monk instead of just being an Open Fist Monk who drank all the time.

I’d be willing to bet a significant amount of the downvotes stem from this meme being nearly indistinguishable from something that gets posted on Parlor or Truth Social.

It’s hard to tell whether or not they truly don’t understand, or they do, and they’re just saying shit to rile up their base.

Not sure how much it matters either way, though. Consciously or not, it’s still the spread of misinformation.

Gotta grow big and strong

I love how fuzzy they are.

The “self-help” circuit always felt like a grift, so I guess going all out on the grifting was naturally the next step.

They would have come to Lemmy if it was the platform they wanted. We can bitch and moan about them wanting something that we think is against their best interests, but what’ll that do?

I don’t really get all the pessimism. Even if folks are right in saying there’ll be a bait and switch, this is people moving to a new platform en masse. If Bluesky goes to shit there’s more reason to believe users would just move again.

In the meantime, as members of the fediverse, we should be using Bluesky being “decentralized” as a way to ease people into actually decentralized platforms.

I mean, yes? Although generally speaking, the word execution is reserved for cases where they’ve been deemed to deserve it.

For example, most of the executions ordered during the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution were simply murders of people who were even suspected of dissent.

SmartTube for TV and ReVanced/uYouPlus for Andriod/IOS devices. SmartTube can be tricky to set up depending on the TV, but the mobile apps are relatively simple to get working.

It’s already delusional to think you helped by not voting, but I’m not gonna listen to a dipshit who’s just gonna sit on their ass and blame anyone who actually tried to protect the rights of queer communities. Fuck off.

Honestly, I think it’ll be worth drilling the fact that it’s the Republican Party, not just Trump. Otherwise, folks deep in the cult will just use the current figurehead as a scapegoat for everything wrong with the party without acknowledging that the party itself works against them.

They probably will, anyway, but it’s worth a shot.

I mean, yes, I am surprised that they sat on their asses and tacitly chose the even more genocidal candidate.

I get not wanting to make the choice between eating dirt or wet shit, but sitting this one out was just asking for wet shit.

I can’t tell if this comment is ignorant or malicious, but I’m not sure if the difference even matters here.
