especially since most other people would probably be less effort to track down.

I have politically active friends who are supposedly privacy minded blasting their takes on facebook and complaining when they get banned for inciting violence. Most people are terrible at this and the algos the feds use probably aren’t that great. I’m more likely to get grabbed randomly.
I’ve always isolated my username from irl stuff and I don’t make any social media posts from my irl stuff. You’d have to be very interested in me specifically and I’ve always tried to be slightly less noisy then the background noise.
now your opinions are based on that bad experience instead of reality.
The fuck does this mean? How is my experience not reality? What else are my opinions suppose to be based on, if not my experience?
Reddit was showing signs of introducing a more algo based experience, so I fucked off. They would hardly be the first website I left because of shit like that.
I used reddit long before the /r/thedonald showed up. Before /r/atheism became a default sub, which was terrible for the community of that sub. It became meme infested and caused /r/trueatheism to be made for sharing stories about religion intolerance from politicians, educators and employers. At a certain point, I started wholesale blocking any major sub and power user to reclaim some usability, but the API change signaled to me it wasn’t worth the effort anymore.
A lot of lemmy users are ex reddit users and have reason they switched. I switched because it started looking more and more like twitter.
I used reddit for over a decade, but I was never willing to buy reddit gold or support it because I didn’t trust any site where I shared my political opinions to have those opinions tied with by real name or any other billing info. Same with discord. At least with lemmy, you can support it without tying it to your account.
Have you ever heard a twitter user talk about reddit? They all hate each other.
Fortnite players don’t have any backbone.
They haven’t since the sarin gas attacks when the gas bombs went off in trash cans.
Native American: I am a joke to you?
There’s an idea among foreigners that Americans use Mayo in every meal. It’s because there’s a set prop list for refrigerators in productions that every sitcom uses.
Another example is the Transatlantic accent. At most, it was just used by actors and public announcers because it was clear and easy to understand. The general public didn’t talk like that.
The US is shoes OFF most of the time. Hollywood is just filled with sociopaths.
Those writers probably wouldn’t have referenced The Iliad then. This was either a writer’s joke or the script just had [insert prop book] in the script and The Iliad was what was handy.
That sounds remarkably like a shitpost the writer put in to see if the audience or actors were paying attention.
One of their season one stories was joining in on the War On Christmas BS.
Rightwingers keep trying to make Cali look like a crime ridden cesspool and Texas the peak of law and order, but crime statics between the two are marginal. They tend to shutdown whenever I cite sources on that.
That’s been debunked. Or rather, it’s never been replicated.
Bananas.
That one was full mask off. Couldn’t be explained by someone trolling. Couldn’t even be explained by a profit motive. Just an attention seeking child.
