But people don’t up or down vote based on whether your contribution is valuable, they do it based on whether they like what you have to say. The the result being an echo chamber. If you just want people to parrot your own opinions and thoughts back at you I respect your decision but it sounds boring as shit to me.
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…
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.
This is one of many reasons proposals should be talked about in advance. If you like surprises your partner doesn’t need to know exactly when the proposal is coming, but generally it should be known if a proposal is coming in the more immediate future, in the long term, or not at all.
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.
