If Mastodon had better onboarding as well as seamless cross-posting functionality, I could see it passively growing much faster.

Not subversive? I felt pretty subverted by how many Os there were.

That just reinforces the fact that it’s an actual genocide. If the general population wasn’t just being murdered en masse, the statistics would skew towards military targets.

You can’t actually be this ignorant…

But my booty is a treasure only for me and the crew to enjoy.

You might be younger or forgetting but before Obama it was George W., definitely not controversial… And before that there was more controversy. Americans have always had divisive elections, but there’s been a noticable uptick in the elections involving Trump.

accelerate the velocity of development

Honestly I believe them. Because velocity is a vector, development going directly backwards at an accelerating rate is in line with what they said.

When I first saw this I realized I had assumed Dr. Pepper (beyond the drink) was a man, but I think for me it was because as a kid I remember commercials with a deep voiced man and my dumb kid brain thought that was the doctor.

You can’t deadname a brand

I sure can try with Twitter (derogatory)

It’s a capyeehawbara

It’s my body cracking like a glow stick whenever I move yet refusing to glow and the subsequent disappointment felt.

Thank you for sacrificing yourself for our memes.

As a kid I went with “douche” which was the style at the time

Actually I am a paleontologist and coincidentally I do have a new discovery. I call it “Largefoot”, or it’s taxonomically correct name, Largus Footus. I would show my definitive proof but I left it in a pocket of my other sweatpants.

But that whole argument follows the logical fallacy “whataboutism” to downplay X because Y and Z also do bad things. Just because you perceive something to be in line with a standard baseline of corporate shitiness doesn’t mean it’s not worth criticizing.

As for individualism, it’s no secret that lemmy is somewhat left leaning which contributes to the general vibe. From my experience there is a lot more nuance and depth to the discussions that happen here when factoring in population size compared to other similar areas of the internet.

I disagree. Nintendo isn’t just some company that has legal beef and comparing their shitiness with Blizzard’s is like comparing apples to oranges.

Nintendo is a litigious bully and patent troll that has a long, long list of hurting the fans that love their games. They don’t just settle for cease and desists, they historically ruin people’s lives (see Gary Bowser). What feels even worse about Nintendo is the complete misaligned of their product/ brand vs. how they treat fans. You can point to similar companies like Disney and I say that yes, I would happily cheer on any misfortune that comes to them with the same fervor as Nintendo.

I love the representation of millennials like me.

You know, you don’t have to obey the laws of gravity. I mean who’s going to stop you, the police?

That’s like whining that everyone hates Blizzard or Ubisoft because of some hive mind mentality. Could it be that maybe it’s just a commonly hated company based off their unethical actions over the last 10+ years?
