Ah the beauty of TST… Laid a trap and some moron took the bait. I’m sure they had to do it because “persecution” or something like that.

The nerve of people to cry they were discriminated against for their views as if their views weren’t the original discriminator… It’s just mind boggling.

I feel almost helpless against it sometimes.

It’s a well known issue on plenty of popular sites (Facebook/Twitter/reddit/etc.). I’m sure federated sites like Lemmy, Mastodon, and others are just as susceptible to it as well.

I’ve commented on posts in the past to try and combat it and occasionally still do. But there’s a real limit to the amount of stress that comes with trying to convince someone that they’ve been lied to and could be misleading others by repeating what they heard. Especially with the whole “fake news” crap that has been surging I’m the last handful of years. Any proper data used to support truth is just dismissed as fake news.

I don’t think I’m missing any point. Have you used it? They’re owned by the same company. Threads is separate but part of Instagram. Other than the user name being reserved on Threads in case the Instagram user wants to sign up, there isn’t an account created. If you try to search the name of any of those accounts in Threads it doesn’t come up at all. (Edit: mistyped a word)

None of the data other than the user name is shown in Threads until the user from Instagram activates their account. I’ve tried to look up a number of the people from Instagram on Threads and if they haven’t signed up, then the search results are zero.

Why does everything have to be a conspiracy with some people? Threads literally and directly explains that it uses your Instagram account. They’re the same account. Nothing crazy. No magic. No oogie boogie. Just the same account.

Enjoyed sync for reddit for basically the entire time I used it. Excited about sync for lemmy.

If I go any faster, then I’ll probably drop it all and take even longer. Then it’ll be awkward for the both of us.

Oh… Oh No. Closing the entire browser to open a new tab. I don’t blame you at all for not being able to watch.

I believe in many elections (in the US anyways) you can vote for yourself. I assume most people always do. I think the idea of not supporting yourself is maybe a little odd.

It will be interesting to see how well lemme.ee grows and whether things can stay stable throughout lemmy as a whole. Hopefully funding doesn’t become a major block in the future.

I don’t know why but I find myself whistling this a bit throughout the day.

They definitely sort of did. The last one came out over 10 years ago.

I remember Voat. I didn’t even realize that it shutdown… I guess that says enough about it. I’m hoping for some growth on a new platform. Even if it never kills reddit, rather brings enough people to keep lemmy going strong and providing an alternative for those who prefer something else. I wasn’t familiar with idea of federated service before looking into lemmy (never really looked into mastodon or the likes). Still not sure how I feel about it for easy growth but I hope to see it soon.

Hmmm… odd. It seems to work just fine for me. I wish I knew more about what else could be the cause.

Long time Metroid fan since Super Metroid for SNES. Thank for starting a community here on lemmy.
