Adam Schlesinger, a likely preventable death in this selfish fucking country. He gave so many beautiful things to the world while he was here.

Good point

Sure, the app that nailed this might separate itself as the popular option for zeitgeist to grab onto, but then it distributes users to many servers (as the app itself is an aggregator that’s agnostic to server. But yes, rush of that single app becoming “Lemmy” in many people’s minds.

But you likely need to treat migration and understanding nuance of the tech as two different user journeys. Rather than solving problem though, likely better to stop and ask why we even want more users (if we even do?).

I have a post early on Lemmy, around the migration, about how it felt like any morality and responsibility to objective fact over there left with our initially migrating group. The change is subtle, but it’s crazy how far you have to scroll into the comments now to find the buried correct answer that refutes the misinformation in the title or linked article.

Also, the “which movie is this for you?” Type posts have just saturated over there. As well as shit, obscure linked sources (e g. “Indiatrump.biz” “realzgovtruth.info” kind of shit), as sources of front page upvoted posts, seem so much more prevalent over there now.

Could have auto versus manual server choice. Can always maintain option for granular selection for those who want, but “normies” could walk into a quiz when migrating?

• Top three things you used Reddit for? (List of maybe 10+ things, servers can maintain their feature list to empower this)

• Do you like A) talking to everybody about days topics B) talking to a smaller group of like minded people

• Do you like A) a MORE moderated space B) a LESS moderated space, realizing you may see more spam and controversy

And then calculates a server that meets needs, if multiple, then random number generator to assign a server from the filtered options. On user side, all they see is a quiz followed by a typical registration screen. This would help with distribution of users across niche servers, but feel lighter for user. They also would assume a more curated experience, regardless of where they end up. Servers could have to opt in to be fed users from search of they were afraid of impact on cost to maintain server.

The above likely aren’t the right questions, but this framework could be effective

Up to the company in America, no guarantee of not having to work just because some observe a certain day. Especially for blue collar workers. The ultimate irony here is most will work on labor day.

Sure, but sounds like you wanted differentiated toggles for national holidays versus these needed observances? If you’re saying a single toggle for all, I agree. I don’t think the observances should be othered though.

Fuck proton, get off proton.

Prove that

I mean okay to choice, but why do you care on this? Who gives a shit? As long as they aren’t adding national donut day and frivolous shit shit like that.

Excuse me, waitress… I’ll have what SHE’S having.

You did it! No delivery fee! You’re so lucky!

Oh hey… Unrelated, but let me get $20 in “fees” please.

Really though, congrats on that delivery discount though, you’re really coming out in top, putting me through the ringer, bud!

When they fork with your spoon… They push you to consider the knife.

First they came for…

Yeah, you can still get something from the odd crank, but used to be much more practically useful for day to day needs.

If you feel any kind of meaningful trustworthiness from a Facebook profile, you’ve probably got some other things to worry about…

God… remember how fucking simple craigslist was when it hit it’s peak? The fact that Grandpa could take a shaky flip phone picture and post a thing you needed right around the corner, no fat or other frivolous horseshit…

Craigslist is still simple last I checked, but the user base left and now dominated by spam from retail and drop shippers masquerading as local people selling goods from their garage.

Nothing gold can stay

They are feeding all communications from devices into AI right now, both a massive security breach and they are calculating and creating an enemies list. Watch.

Maybe she’s just a Chud and did it on her own, but the trump kompromat angle makes sense as well:

1. She performs the Sunday night football song in a short dress and she’s younger and blond - so there’s a chance trump saw her and paid attention (because he’s a rapist that likes girls with features similar to his daughter).

2. He probably asked his sycophants to get her for the inauguration or a rally or some stop on the garbage parade, have to assume she said no at first realizing the career backlash, if anything.

3. They scramble to find leverage, she was on American Idol, which is a former fox show (Murdoch) and a current ABC show (ABC being the complicit mainstream network to first bend the knee HARD recently, preemptively settling trump’s defamation lawsuit against them with a huge multi million dollar payoff).

4. So between all of that, someone has the leverage against one of those remaining producers to get them to offer underwood the replacement “judge” job on American Idol, with the condition that she support trump publicly.

5. She was announced as a judge on American Idol.

6. She performs at the inauguration.

7. American Idol producers make public statements about fear of a backlash boycott, but say they won’t do anything about her.

8. The purposefully convoluted threat of a boycott fuels fox and others , along with the fully complicit social media networks, to push a counter boycott - meaning all of the Braindead maga folks without anymore rallys to attend should now go HARD for American Idol, buy merch, etc.

9. Get now loyal viewers to send in their underpants as tribute. Collect all those underpants.

10. ???

11. Profit

Corporations all genuinely want to be that guy so fucking bad, just because they think that if they do become him, they might actually starry to finally feel something… anything. Or they think if they become that guy their father might say "I love you " for the first time or some other sad “this is why I’m a serial killer” shit.
