This is why I'm not on Facebook.
This is why Lemmy is as close as I get to any social media.
This is my experience with every fourth post on the Nextdoor app.
No kidding. Nextdoor is a disaster.
I checked in recently and this literally was my news feed
- Dance in the park Event
- Free boxes
- Bar has new sandwich
- WHY IS BLACK TEENAGER WALKING ON SIDEWALK
- Pictures of a rainbow
Mine right now (sorted by recent):
- Ad for local flooring installer
- Sponsored ad for power company
- "Hey, everyone. 👋 I'm Shawn. Hello!"
- Ad for local home remodeling
- User giving away a cat
- Sponsored ad for garage doors
- Another user welcome message
- Found pet alert from local animal shelter
- Sponsored ad for bathroom showers
- Ad for local bathroom remodeling
- Ad for local handyman service
So when it's not ranty freakouts it's 85% ads.
Here's the real one:
Adopt pets from the shelter cause they won't live as long and that means less responsibility. So people will think you are a good person, but you actually just want a lazy old dog that will die a year from now. Soon you will be able to tell fake sob stories about the 40 shelter dogs you had to have put down. Does that make you a good person or not? Where is your god now?Im gonna dare say it, if the dog lived a good life in your hands, you are a good person. Even when your motive might not be good.
To quote another XKCD:
Checkmate, Pascal-ians
Just had a relative get skipped over for a wedding invite for this nonsense. Turns out posts have consequences, and being sufficiently vague and inflammatory makes people think you're talking about them.
I would venture to say most people don't like people who feel comfortable ranting about random people in public regardless of how justified it is. We get enough of that shit from all sources of media. We don't need to hear hate and self-righteousness preached by our friends too. I'd rather not have a drama magnet at my wedding either.
It's wild how the same people who upvote antibullying comments and talk about how awful the orange guy is are the same ones who are horribly bullying, in threads the don't agree with.
What?
Ah yeah that's me.
The difference is where Orange Man actively instigates violence. Everything out of his mouth comes from a egotistic or selfish perspective.
Where me mocking idiots on the internet is more about shutting down bad ideas from spreading.
I'm not a fan of orange man. He also gets way too much media attention.
Projection or wrong thread?
