He got to explain to his daughter and you got to explain to the comment section, circle of life

Hey! No spoiler tag!? Some of us are still getting caught up on the last two seasons of reality

If memory serves, it’s in reference to the ancient mammal and also the metal band

Idk, I think it was the deal breaker for me on kbin because I do not like it at all. They may have fixed it by now

I’m not 100% sure but I remember when I tried kbin an upvote was like a “boost” on Mastodon, and every one showed up on your profile feed

I think maybe this user is on kbin?

Honest question, why isn’t your clubhouse over at lemmygrad enough?

1. They basically say they are, and also run explicitly tankie instance lemmygrad.ml
2. Look at the modlog for lemmy.ml. Among other things, anytime someone has an opinion about China who isn’t Chinese it’s “Orientalism”

Damn they really hate their users

So basically Reddit sucks at ads too 😂

Do you know something we don’t know? Are they secretly courting a private buyer instead of actually going for an IPO?

Not an advertiser but they generally know % of views (“impressions”) to clicks (called click through rate) and percentage of clicks that turn into sales (called conversion rate).

For that reason, I don’t think they’re trying to get rid of human users completely, just the “troublemakers”.

I think they want to lead the “silent majority” users into a bot advertorial content hellscape where they control all the levers of power and everything is for sale.

Also, infinite layers of meta commentary and criticism of the meta and criticism of that criticism… I’m home

Never underestimate the power of shitposting

I hear he doesn’t really think much of his father’s moderation policies and he might be looking for social media alternatives

The curse of the zombie hot posts strikes again!

I don’t agree with this in all cases.

True, parents usually have a deeply ingrained emotional need to protect and nurture their children but:

• Not all parents do. Narcissists have children all the time. When they do, they cloak their emotional vampirism in ‘love’ like they do in all relationships.
• Even parents with the best intentions have to work HARD not to pass on their generational traumas, abuses, and bad habits.
• Only the child can truly know what will fulfill them as a person. Parents often substitute what they wanted for their younger selves for the child’s best interest.

For those still thinking I have no idea what I am talking about and you and your parents are different… please look into “enmeshment” for your own sake

If we comment enough, we could get this zombie thread stuck in the ‘Active’ feed

I wasn’t sure how to respond to this at the time.

I’m coming back to report that I just saw this.

I was scrolling All + Hot using Connect on Android and saw this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/57957

Judging by the influx of new comments, I wasn’t the only one.

I did a little digging and I can’t find any actively maintained roadmap.

They have some milestones in GitHub but they’re all empty / outdated.
