Thanks, that’s my band name now

Add-ons, it’s not chromium, and also I CAN BLOCK AUTOPLAY VIDEOS on it

Whole lotta bootlickers on this thread

I’m doing my part! (with an all-AMD setup)

I tried Mastodon 4 or 5 years ago when Twitter started banning a bunch of leftists. I dug up that account when Muck bought Twitter and there’d be interesting content from the Twitter refugees.

I signed up for Lemmy during the reddit fiasco in June and now I use Lemmy so much more than I use Mastodon

I can’t downvote anything at all

My instance doesn’t allow me to :)

Thanks for posting this! You’ve given me a new rabbit hole to go down

Maybe doing this will also make people more hesitant to get behind the wheel. If more people are aware of the risks of driving, maybe they’ll start to demand alternatives

How long until they close down the Google Chat app and move to something else that is barely different?

Hot take thread? Mumford and Sons from a decade ago was Good Actually. Fuck that one guy who turned out to be a fascist tho

Why do people feel the need to cave to their deep, dark, and cold selves? 😭😭😭

Everything about this is fantastic. This level of shitposting is exactly what the fediverse needs

Huffman / spez is trying to follow the same outrage farming playbook that countless other rich guys like Trump and Musk have followed.

1. Gain money and/or control over something prominent that more or less works
2. Identify targets that you want to hurt or screw over
3. Make big changes that damage the thing you control with no time for your targets to adjust
4. When your targets complain or protest, double down and don’t apologize or change course
5. Cultivate a critical mass of smoothbrained useful idiots that enjoy the way you stick to your guns and hurt others
6. ???
7. Profit. Literally. You’ll have a smaller base, but they’re loyal and you can make money off of them.

The question is whether spez will get to step 5. He’s already gotten to step 4.
