Lol, yeah. If I saw an account labeled “American Nazi Party” with a blue check mark, I wouldn’t think “wow, Bluesky endorses Nazis” - I’d think “wow, this isn’t a satire account, these are actual Nazis, imma block them.”
I’d think “wow they let Nazis on here. Like they know about them and are cool with that. This place is trash”
I tell people about lemmy and send them links. Mostly people don’t care about anything. Abstract or remote things like “should a platform be owned by one asshole?” just doesn’t even enter their brain.
I comment. Reminds me of how I’d end up playing medic in tfc/tf2- someone has to do it.
I don’t post original stuff often, though.
You are breaking the internet with this non sense.
I think that’s their goal. Conservative types benefit when people have limited access to information
Capitalism leads to bad outcomes like this, yep.
I think Jane Jacobs talked about this in like the 1960s. People in cars are less likely to stop and shop. If you’re on foot (or a bike) it’s a lot easier to stop and pop into an interesting shop. If you’re zooming by at 45mph, or stuck in traffic with nowhere to park, you’re less likely to see if that bookshop has something interesting
I guess it’s fine. Not sure how useful it would be for gauging how apart subways are, like if I need to get to the G from the Q.
The new one makes it look like they intercept, but they don’t.
There’s a shared theme with like all of humanity’s woes: people don’t care that much.
From pollution to injustice to shitty websites, if people cared just a little more the problem would be dramatically reduced or even eliminated.
But so many people are just apathetic. Overwhelmed and checked out.
I wonder if things get bad enough, Ukraine would take a shot at Trump. Back to the wall and all.
We could all decide to just like… take their wealth. There’s no ref that’s going to call time out.
No you weren’t. Not by anyone credible, anyway.
