We have an entire instance dedicated to popular 1960s television show Star Trek (don't go there)

I am pretty convinced these stats are low because I remember the early years of Reddit feeling much less active than the Threadiverse does now and I have to assume Reddit's MAUs in 2008-9 were at least above 100K.

Regardless, this is nice to see and I recommend everyone check out !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com if they are interested in helping to promote Lemmy instances on Reddit.

Redditors really hate having their routines challenged. The ones who want to leave will leave, and the group of people who stay behind will become increasingly obstinate (and it's probably for the best).

...Propaganda? Cnet?

Well said. I think AI "art" is really best considered just a form of entertainment since there is no human perspective put into it. Adam Savage said it best (paraphrasing here) "In order for me to be interested in a work of art it needs to be coming from a point of view. I don't see anything resembling a point of view with AI."

Yes was happy to see their edit

I agree totally. I think people benefit of think of their instance as the window through which they view the rest of the Fediverse.

Top highly upvoted comment saying you need different accounts for each instance 🤦🏻

Time to jump into the fray I guess

"Portable identities" is a major feature of Mastodon and ActivityPub platforms in general. It'll be on Lemmy one day too.

major GPT vibes

Like what? Which platforms are those Sarah Perez writing for TechCrunch? Can you name more than one?

Is there a source anywhere for this besides this youtubers saying so? I searched but was unable to find anything.

"fag" is a homophobic slur that was actually even more hurtful to use back in the early 2000s when LGBT people were a lot less accepted by society than today. That said your Dad is technically correct and it was a "term of endearment" among homophobes on 4chan which was largely comprised of straight white men in college had/has a self-deprecating sense of humor.

"Fag" is a homophobic slur and "shoop da woop" is a blackface meme and yes it was all very normal 4chan.

"Shoop da woop" was a popular 4chan meme dating to at least 2006. Also the whole "newfag", "oldfag" etc thing has been going on since forever.

Absolutely idk what that guy is smoking

Uhhh... Can someone ELI18 to me the problem with passkeys? I use them wherever available and find them very convenient.

Yeah I'll concede that Satoshi almost certainly had unrealized but aspirational goals for the tech, but speaking personally as far back as I can remember, crypto's primary function was a speculative asset.

Eh, cryptocurrency was never supposed to solve any problem, it was a proof of concept that pariah states realized could enable them to avoid US sanctions. The "it's more secure than banks" talking points were conceived after the fact by the grifters.
