It’s kind of like when I’m driving. Everyone going slower than me is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a psycho with a death wish. 🥲
Jokes on them; even I don’t know what my opinion is
I politely disagree
I agree, because the alternative is much worse.
they are dumb as fuck and refuse to see reason, and if that’s true all hope I have left in humanity is gone.
let me tell you…I don’t have much hope left.
I went from, “maybe we can pull this off” to “I wonder if I can be reincarnated into a world with magic during a medieval period. just give me a house on a mountain next to a forest and I’ll be happy.”
What if you are the one that is dumb as fuck, but you think you are smart? How would you know?
impossible. I’m far too intelligent to be dumb.
It’s the George Carlin bit about driving, “Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?”.
Reality is so flexible these days, it’s hard to tell who’s disconnected from it and who isn’t. You might even say it’s a pointless distinction.
I knew it
Fact’s what?
No they’re all stupid fucking magat brained idiots.
Incorrect! Some of them are CIA ops who do it for love of the game!
dude I need to apply for wherever this paid troll gig is. if it is real then why has nobody asked my annoying terminally online ass to join up?
Everyone is a paid troll except you. Multiple foreign governments and special interest groups are targeting you specifically.
How about they target me with some fucking cash?
i dunno did you break the law?
Every account on lemmy is a bot except you.
you guys are getting paid?
what’s the exchange rate of Lemm-Os to SchruteBucks?
You can get 10 SchruteBucks for one Lemm-Os but you can also get 0.10RMB for them if you have been a faithful agent
I heard that the mods on r/pics are getting at the very least, 6 figures. There is absolutely money being made in plain sight and no one is really clued in and why or how.
Did you know that people can go on the Internet and tell lies?
I’ve been doing this forever and haven’t received a single cent.
You messed up. I got my 40 Ruble check from Putin for registering a lemmy.ml account, President Xi gives me 60 cents per post, and George Soros doubles that.
AS the old saying goes, mate, its not what you know, its who you know. If you dont know the reddit maffia, you dont get to know anything. Reddit is the 7th largest platform on the internet based on traffic numbers. But the funny thing is, chatgpt, the 5th largest platform based on traffic, gets over 40% of its citations from reddit.
This is a question of influence. If people want to push a specific ideology, they go to reddit. And if you have the right mods on side, you can push whatever you want and ban and delete any and all dissenting voices.
For example u/Llim, a mod on something like 18 subs. Most of which have millions of users. or u/abrownn, mod on 25 subs, again most of which have millions of users per sub. I can keep going on, and this is just by looking at the mod list of r/mademesmile. Look at others in the most popular sub list, and you’ll see the same names over and over again as mods. This is how they do it. A small number of people, who control what can and cannot be posted, which in turn influences search engine and AI citations. This is where the money is made.
Thank you for your contribution to making the internet an unsafe source of missinformation!
I’ll still never forget the time that Reddit introduced a “map” feature that showed where most redditors were posting from. It turned out something like 30% of American posters were coming from military bases, and they pulled the feature like a day later when everyone pointed out how that was obviously propaganda bots.
When was that? I don’t remember that at all and I was on Reddit for like 10 years before moving here.
Yeah I remember the meetups and I see there’s a mention of a military base as “most addicted” place, but not sure that’s what the other comment was talking about.
I’m failing to find any articles now. It was around 2020.
Yeah, I was over there since pre-comments and I don’t remember that unless it was a April fools joke I didn’t pay attention to.
Lemmy is full of keyboard lawyers and crusaders. Reality and legal procedures have no place here
Many of us are actually professionals in various fields, and aren’t just talking out of our ass.
“Fact’s”
What the fuck is wrong with kids today? They’re getting dumber and dumber
I blame thicc.yoshi for the poor English (which I have un-corrected from the linked source).
🤷♂️. Don’t take it so seriously. Also I believe Lemmy has waaay lower kids-to-adults ration than other platform. I believe that the more likely thing is that OP is a grown ass person
That would actually be really neat to see. Is it possible to see the age distribution? There’s really no way to know, I don’t think
I literally asked this on asklemmy without thinking and got called a pedo. I was just curious, but I clearly didn’t think things through
