I’ve recently joined Lemmy and was reminded of this old fact I used to hear about all the time that lemmings will commit mass suicide by jumping off cliffs when they migrate (lemmings being the namesake of Lemmy, I think?).
Do lemmings actually do this? Because I think it would be funny if a social media software was named after an animal that’s literally known for mass hysteria / mob mentality.
Think it makes for an even better analogy, corporations (and the rich) pushing the masses of a cliff (for profit)
Reminds me of the people who blindly follow celebrities and corporations, blindly and unwittingly supporting the inevitable demise of our society, and eventually our planet.
So then who are the lemmings in this situation
