Memes

My feeling is that most of the social media platforms are just turning into cess pools of right wing hatred and evil. Reddit was left leaning, but their recent move just seemed obvious they want to go the way of twitter and be a shithole of a website as well. Just another money maker by exploiting the dumber people.

She's just not that into you man.

I might be a weirdo here but I enjoy both kinds of social media mainstream social media is cool because all your friends and family are there and you can fellow famous people but the fediverse is fun because of all the fun nerds and weirdos activists and people whose massage would be squashed anywhere else

collective action problem is not a joke Jim, billions suffer every year

Yeah there’s no way in Hell I’m telling average people to jump on the fediverse train. This place is niche af - just like Reddit was in the early days.

Same guy goes and signs up for lizardman's Threads

I mean it's kinda true. I have an account but...I have no one to follow...and no one to follow me.

I tend to have a really bad mindset where I avoid places with little to no activity because I worry about giving the owner false hope. If nobody else shows up, I think that my presence might hinder their progress by preventing them from making necessary changes.

I need to get over it cos it's obviously wrong but keeps on my mind

I just want my favorite video game to have a sublemmy :( why is it impossible to get anyone to talk about even the most popular video games here?

I'm here cause I'm tired of mainstream Social media. Why the hell would I want to bring them here?

Maybe what people think of as popular in their physical world is different than the popular that they think about in their abstract thoughts: "I'm going to be popular" or "I'm going to write a book" type thoughts.

Both things are different so no reconciliation is possible.

IMO, the fact that those people aren't here is the best part of the fediverse.

Well that defeats the purpose doesn't it?
