The best part is that if any of them get taken down, another one will pop up on another instance :D

Why’d they smoosh them up though? It’s more aesthetically pleasing if you leave them intact

What the actual fuck even is this

This is… far, far too real

Oh damn that looks DELICIOUS. Nicely done.

Here’s my problem: I don’t want the general user base of Facebook to move here.

In anglophone areas, I believe this is known as cream cheese.

I wish, but I doubt it will be.

The density of quality users and interactions on Lemmy nowadays reminds me of Reddit’s earlier days

As someone who’s worked in the VoD industry: it is.

That’s… not an accurate characterization.

I would have voted for Sanders in a heartbeat. And a lot of other (Americans) on my instance would too. The disdain is more targeted and nuanced than that. A whole lot of us on sh.it just.works have a reasonably solid understanding of the difference between communism and authoritarian communism, and are also often geopolitical nerds to one degree or another. This often leads to us doing our best to combat what we see as bullshit disinformation and misrepresentation when and where we see it.

The vitriol we have towards tankies is specifically a result of:

• our dislike of the glorification of historical authoritarian leaders (Stalin; Mao)
• the intentional blurring of the line between communism (which, bluntly, many of us don’t actually have a problem with) and authoritarian communism
• the jingoistic support of modern authoritarian states that either call themselves “communist” despite not really being anything of the sort (China), or who have a historical lineage that runs through an (again, authoritarian) communist state (Russia)

When looked at that way, it’s a lot closer to modern Iron Front ideology (anti-monarchy; anti-fascist; anti-authoritarian communist).

And steak milk

Oh man dude you’re making me want to take the train down

Damn dude. When’s dinner? I got a pet nat and chenin blanc I can bring over to share.

You seem to be under the impression that it’s good if this place grows explosively. It’s not. There’s no VC to pay back here (and thank fuckin god for that). There’s no ad revenue here (again, this is good).

Also, not entirely sure what exactly to make of the weirdly targeted quip about a Chinese child, but spidey sense says it’s nothing good.

Looks like 5 to me

Dude, it’s less clear than the existing symbol. Stop trying to push this.
