That's esteemed... generic Lemmy user who is totally not an award winning character actress to you!

I've even seen someone trying to shill the "Barbie" movie here, it's like, we get that it is a really good movie and the lead actress gave an Oscar worthy performance of a lifetime and is also like, really hot and really funny and all, but why would they want to shill this movie on this obscure technology forum, of all places?

It's a living.

As Lemmy's only real celebrity, I take offense to that.

That's because it's my name, silly!

I want to see my name in "List of Oscar winners" this year.

That's esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

I blame Ryan Gosling.

Also, it would be late spring in Brazil right now, since it is in the Southern Hemisphere like Australia.

Love it. Unions got us to where we are, and we are thankful for them.

Strikes work.

Yay I'm an Internet celebrity now!

I noticed there are certain people here who always seem to comment on every single post here.

How do they find the time to do this? Are they on strike from their day job or something?

Some of you who are complaining Lemmy are seeing though rose-tinted glasses about what reddit was like back in the day. The majority of the site was never good, and it had always had plenty of embarassing/messed up things on there that you had to sift through, but it's a different, sterile kind of bad now.

Here are a couple of reminders of what reddit was actually like, in no particular order.

• Ron Paul
• Faces of Atheism, "Euphoric"
• AdviceAnimals, Rage Comics
• Spacedicks
• r/jailbait
• The entire Boston bomber saga

This is why I would never admit to using reddit in public, and until recent years, I would imagine most people won't.

So if anyone complains about how the current content on Lemmy is driving people away, remember, Lemmy is positively TAME compared to this supposedly "Golden Era" of reddit.

Speaking of monetization and propaganda, for your consideration, "Barbie", now available on Blu-Ray and streaming services everywhere!

NO. NO FEET PICS. BAD.

Let's look at some numbers and do some napkin math:

Currently, the top post of Lemmy can usually get a little more than 2K upvotes, which puts Lemmy at about late 2010 to early 2011 reddit level of activity, which is right before reddit hits its explosive growth phase in 2012 with SOPA, Kony, and the Obama AMA. While active user count has been going down, the amount of post and comments have both been steadily going up.

You also have to realize that in more than a decade, there was never a reddit alternative that has EVER hit this level of activity. (unless you count 9gag or the_donald for some reason.)

But that's what custom emojis essentially are, small pictures you can embed into text, just like with Twitch emotes.

Never been on Hexbear before, eh?

Ask your admins to implement some emojis. We have them on LW, but nobody ever really use them. Just a culture thing I guess.

A bit of mistake I made there, I should say that the freezing point is relatively unaffected by pressure compared to the boiling point, and the amount of dissolved impurities are going to have a greater effect.

1. Memes. I don't know how it works either so I'm just going with it.
2. I'm sure he would appreciate the sincere thoughts of you as his friend more than a social media comment left by a complete stranger from the Internet. Which is what this is.

Still, hi Rome!
