People keep submitting this sort of post like it’s unexpected.
They think Lemmy can grow into a legitimate platform, but the one with millions of users and backed by one of the largest companies on the planet, which already runs social media platforms, is doomed…
Even the history of this is fascinating. This is the "Moses Bridge", and it's a renovated part of the old dyke system that was used to prevent attacking armies from getting in - because the dykes and levee's had blocked the sea so effectively, they realised they could stop attackers by... flooding them out. Literally.
When it came to renovate this area, they wanted to provide access without denigrating the fact it was an old defensive structure, hence this unique sea-level bridge.
23.6 million is still really high for a new social platform. I don’t know if it’s sustainable as I don’t see how people popular for images can translate their fame to microblogging but the next year or 6 months will be helpful to know if this was successful.
I think people popular for anything could easily include microblogging, as long as they also keep doing the original thing. Lots of celebs, internet and otherwise, fare alright. It's a chance to worsen the parasocial relationship "become closer to their fans," and all they have to do is not be racist. Usually.
If any of my artists have a blogging platform, I usually read it out of curiosity
Yeah. But tbh a LOT of threads activity is bots. It’s been very clear from the get go that the numbers have been inflated using bots. More and more social media companies are going to use bots to inflate their numbers now.
Because it says 199 right now and I have one comment alone with 150+ and a post with ~135, plus 150 or so more comments most of which are between 5 and 30 and I don’t think any of which are negative. Like 3 days ago it said 500 something. I don’t know the best way to get a correct number, I personally don’t care tbh.
Edit: and please don’t take that as me being dismissive or an asshole, I hope you find a way to properly figure it out. I think I’ve seen folks say it’s in the Lemmy instance database but idk I just have the database running, I wouldn’t know where to start on how to check.
I get it’s a meme, but it should be “Toxic gamers”.
A competitive game, in a competitive mode usually attracts competitive people. These people want to win, are playing to win, etc. This is the enviroment made for that. People complaing in non competitive modes are just toxic people.
But it’s also toxic to enter a competitive mode as a casual, cause a loss for your teammates, then blame it on " I just play to have fun XD".
I want to argue a nuance that toxic overcompetativeness is a meta issue in gaming, not a direct issue with competitive games. Like it’s just as toxic to be like overly competitive with casual shit, though you’re more likely to be called out as the insane person you are if you’re being toxic over say something like animal crossing than if you’re playing league.
I do agree with what you’re saying though, it probably should just say toxic gamers to cover all of that because this is the internet and nuance has no transmission ability here.
For VPN, PiVPN is super easy to setup and use. I dont even have a static IP with my ISP but it works like a charm with DynDNS, I use no-ip but there are plenty of options.
I have no idea why you think it would be improved by slight adding of jpeg, but I agree, and I don’t know why. It feels like meme salt. Or maybe meme umami
I’m pretty sure some or all of the Toys R Us employee pension was plundered in the reorg after private equity bought the company out in2018. I remember reading about it thinking it sort of made sense technically but it was pretty egregious on a human level. This post is too true. Similar to the old Stalin gem about how killing one is a tragedy but a million is a statistic. If you’re gonna do something bad do it BIG.
