Not sure if I was misinformed by a meme but I only learned that in 2016 when a Canadian redditor clarified and, of course, apologized for not having done it

I’ve been seeing a ton more misinformation in memes on Lemmy the past month or so. It’ll never happen but I wish the mods would require sources on those posts.
It’s especially frustrating because it’s not like we need to invent things to make the right look bad. We can just point to the things that are actually true…things that are way worse than destroying quote on a brick.
4 hours later with at least one report and this post is still up, still getting upvoted. How many people have seen this and believe it’s true? How many have shared it? Meme culture is a cancer
Fact check the claims in your political memes before posting them, please


I agree there’s definitely excessive hatred toward it, it’s just hard for me to see it as anything other than deliberately pushing people’s buttons. It does not accomplish their stated goal, it’s just annoying to read.
I was going to compare it someone mumbling so “the hidden microphones can’t understand” but even that has some merit.
Now I feel like it sounds like I’ve got some vendetta against them…I don’t mean it that way. I’m just ADHD overexplaining.


Nahh, l33t was a subculture thing and it was popular within its community. Using it on a general forum (like Lemmy) would get you more shit than this guy’s getting. Probably some slurs thrown your way, too.
They are the one being antagonistic here by using a “style” they know annoys most people.
I think they just get off to farming the downvotes.


I’m not into antagonizing him for it but I am blunt about it. That user has been made aware that it makes their comments harder to read for users AND that it’s not poisoning AI but they do it anyway.
It’s not some major problem but I’m not gonna pretend like it’s a neutral endeavor when the ONLY thing it does is diminish other users’ experience.
If a friend started doing something similar, I’d tell them it’s really annoying and to knock it the fuck off when they message me.


If a young mel plays hide and seek, that was part of the ending scenes
Ahh ok, bummer then. When they first opened I was getting flooded with anime so I blocked it and assumed it continued to flourish
I have it blocked (just the communities, not the users) so I can’t really say but isnt ani.social pretty popular? I see tons of users, I figured there’d be posts too
I played this game last year and enjoyed it. Might have to give it another spin
I actually tried to find it after I posted but i guess you can’t search the bash archives


Nahh, all those other reasons are kind of hidden from the average person who doesn’t read music or tech news, most of them probably have no idea that Spotify sucks. I’m sure there’s even people hearing the ad right after witnessing ICE violence firsthand
Hes a piece of shit but “don’t put things on the internet” is fantastic advice for young people. I’m glad I was a kid before the Internet got “serious” so there are no logs of the heinous shit I’m sure I said. If you look for my old username, you’ll get one search result…a quip I made on IRC on bash.org


I didn’t realize nigrig was (really fuckin obviously) racist until way late in life because the people I heard use it weren’t outwardly racist and pronounced it like “ne-grigged”


Chicago loves its Hispanic community. They are a valued part of the city


A top 100 movies list is likely aimed at film buffs but if you aren’t into those same things, the movies aren’t gonna do anything for you.
There’s nothing wrong with being a casual fan, though. People get very hung up on sticking to “the best” but it’s just entertainment. Watch what you like


This piqued my interested so I did some looking around and found a Bluetooth controller at www.rjcooper.com though it’s kind of expensive
I had to get back to work but I found some similar products elsewhere when I searched for “oversized Bluetooth remote” and the like. Might be a good start?


My gut said no way that was true so I looked it up and was surprised to learn that Shaheds are only around 35k. I guessed 50-100k
I see Stings are reported to cost 1-5k. Unless the motors are $500 each (it’s possible), I’m guessing it’s closer to the low end so the math checks out


They’re both satire sites but only one is presented as such
I received a Tikom vacuum as a gift and was so sad to see I couldn’t installed Valetudo.
On the plus side, it works with no connection and so it’s only slightly less covenient to just…press the button on the vacuum itself when I take my dog for a walk. Gotta dump the tray from last time anyway
