“cuz this is my United States of whatever”

Into the landfills, like everything else

Hostile governments can probably just buy the data from the same data brokers the US got it from

Mastodon really runs on direct post engagement, especially boosts, to make the whole thing work without an algorithm

It’s very similar to tumblr in that a boost is supposed to function like a like/upvote to spread content, since no automated algorithm is going to suggest that post for you.

But I’m sure people are also trying to grow their networks quick, since it’s sort of a hollow experience without it

“Both sides” at its finest.

Does woke mean shoehorned or pandering? I feel like “woke” media is labeled as such because of its fundamental socially progressive ideals, and those negative connotations are added by opponents to try and tear down media that’s been designated “woke”

Compared to all the other movies, games and other media that is given the “woke” moniker, Barbie was very firmly “woke”

It spoke directly about how the US and world is a male-dominated patriarchy, and spent the last act going explicitly over in great detail the negatives for women in their gender roles, especially when dealing with men and male partners.

I think it was more an attempt to not flood the sub with one event, because they aggregated the list of topical articles on the megathread and restricted any new submissions on the subject

Democrats are not in control of Congress. The House is currently R controlled and they barely have the votes in the Senate due to Sinema and Manchin.

Or maybe load billions more in debt onto a company that was just barely treading water

If it’s like the subreddit, it’s owned by the Sitecore company (CMS software) and they post a constant flow of updates.

So yes to everything except the bot part

It’s as if the site has prepared a starter culture of past successful memes to help ferment Lemmy’s shitposting

It’s in bad taste to speak ill of the dead

You cannot die, that would be amoral and unethical.

Instead you must live on with mountains of medical debt, sickly and defeated

Being upset about people’s water bottles is infinitely more boring than owning a water bottle

A lot of people left due to it not being morally sound for them to support Musk and his actions.

But now there are paywalled features that are ruining the functional experience of Twitter. You can’t look at the site for more than half an hour before getting restricted on a free account

Plus Mastodon has had time to polish instances, apps and gain a userbase so it is a little easier to transition
