  • If you put an average person in here with a minimal idea of what 4chan is, what would they say this place is like?

    When they inevitably get scared off because some .ml users were going off ranting about how such such article about NK that got posted was actually western propaganda and that "NK is all good actually", what do you think they'll tell others?

    This isnt about me or you, we have thick skin and can deal with the BS toxicity and have even become desensitized to it so it doesn't seem that bad

    But we are not the average person and if we want the Threadiverse to succeed and maybe even threaten Reddit a bit, we need the normal users

  • But is that from a "normie" perspective or from a regular Threadiverse user perspective? Because from a regular Threadiverse user perspective many have become desensitized I feel, and that's also another aspect of the problem.

    Because ptz has been operating on tamping down toxicity with the goal of it being attractive to the average user.

    The Threadiverse will not actually achieve much without the "normies"

  • Now look at social media. You'll see irrationals infesting every platform. Reddit in special encourages it, and most lemmings are from Reddit.

    True, but on other social media, there's millions of users and it's a LOT easier to dilute the toxicity when a SMs D/MAU is being measured in the millions

    Why this matters: because I believe people here are focusing too much on .ml and Hexbear, without noticing the problem would still persist without them.

    Yea, but I really think .ml not being defederated from is causing a bit of a feedback loop encouraging similar toxic behavior in other users for their own, even non-Tankie, reasons

  • The legend goes that dessalines and Nutomic were unpopular and getting bans on Reddit and then set off to make Lemmy like 5-6 years ago to get away from Reddit

  • Uh, I'm not sure if you read a different thread, but in his formal shutdown thread in !announcements@dubvee.org he was quite clear about it being about fighting against the toxicity. He basically got to a good point, but because of the .ee wake he had to start over.

    But yes .ee was a special case, it was sad especially being the second largest instance. But a second instance shutdown in a month also citing burnout and toxicity is a red flag.

    Now I'm worried if next week SJW or slrpnk is going to announce their shutdown due to toxicity

  • Well defederating from .ml would have gone far dessalines being butthurt about it be damned, but at this point, idk probably wouldn't matter anymore

  • They won't, I think many are testing the waters with PieFed for an ultimate move over, but I have a feeling for the ones that matter cough .world cough it would likely be a months long process, that ultimately will arrive too late.

  • Ah shit, you caught me, I wasn't thinking of the poor shareholders 😢

  • step 5: There are now 57 other ones out there lol

  • LMAO not even a 10 minute account and you come straight here, nothin but a lil troll

    Stop being a coward and troll with your main lolol

  • Me and some friends wrote an outline for a zombie movie years ago from the viewpoint of the zombies. They see themselves as cultured and "normal" while the living are viewed as savages who waste their lives working, keeping up with the Jones' and addicted to stupid stuff like reality TV. It would have been done in the style of The Office/What We Do In the Shadows, with a film crew following around a small group of Zombies who explain their lives. The zombies would have a very close-knit socialist/utopia type lifestyle while us stupid living lived in a right-wing 'murica hellscape.

    If I was rich, I would be signing over a 500M budget over to you right now

    Sadly, I'm just a Lemming :'(

  • It's actually quite on-brand for apple.

    Usually, Android manufacturers come up with a feature that's actually half decent, but needs a good polish to actually take off.

    Apple comes in, refines it to that polish + messaging with their cult, it takes off and Apple claims credit

  • You know what else is X? MY MOM WOOOYEAAAA

  • Yea, it might be a wait. I picked up a launch unit just for the purpose of future exploits. I'm just leaving it sealed on a shelf, worst case, I can probably get back what I paid for it in a few years since sealed Nintendo stuff holds their value decently enough.

    Like most other people seem to feel about, there's just not enough of a pull for me to want to play it LMAO

    Especially since I already haven't played my fully modded Switch 1 in a few months as is xD

  • I'd just turn it off and keep it offline so that you're on the lowest possible firmware for potential future exploits

    Then 🏴‍☠️
