It finally makes sense

  • Oh totally, but I was thinking less about edgy trolls and more like, rage-bait headlines and rants intended to keep you engaged with a platform because you're mad. Or, for example, floods of political posts with all the nuance of a negative daytime TV campaign ad (you know, with the deep voice, storm clouds, and spooky music).

    I remember in the early days of the internet, that type of content was around, but still largely relegated to talk radio or email forwards. Now it's mainstream and some of the most popular content on every major social media site. It's disappointing and feels inauthentic, like your favorite hang-out spots have slowly filled up with solicitors handing out flyers.

  • Yes. I hope this has been enlightening for you.

  • Seriously, lol. Whenever you hear interviews by actors talking about their heavily costumed roles, they talk about it like it's war trauma. I bet this dude was having a bad day.

    Also, I always laugh when I see costumes that can't bend at the neck and have to turn like this. Reminds me of Batman.

  • Yeah, I think most of the problems are downstream of corporate control. Maybe we take that piece away and the others follow.

    (Or maybe the last 15 years of corporate sanitization of social media has left a cultural impact that isn't going away...)

  • I didn't use Slashdot. How was it handled there?

  • This is why I'm a big fan of Lemmy and federated social media. It removes the monetization incentive, and it's obscure enough to barely be targeted by bots (so far). The remaining piece that is still an issue, in my opinion, is that we're still engulfed in the more modern internet culture of rage-bait, walling ourselves into our echo chambers, and occasionally seeing heavy-handed moderation.

    I'll take two wins out of three any day though.

  • What a loss. =(

    It's a strange quirk of lemmy that we will continue to be able to see content from lemm.ee even after they've shut down. It'll feel like seeing ghosts.

  • A lot of people aren't familiar with his early work.

  • It's a terrible day for rain.

  • Sometimes that goes for relationships too.

  • Just looked it up, and it appears to be a ban. The previous code offered the choice.

  • Nice! I finished last weekend on the standard difficulty, and there were a number of fights that I still had to grind out because they kept wiping my party. It's probably my fault for not taking the time to optimize anyone's build but Maelle.

  • for those who come after!

  • Yours is troubling
