And that was only the beginning.
Can’t say this is surprising. I remember when TEMU ads started coming out en masse. Their “shop like a billionaire” catchphrase for buying cheap ripped-off crap gave off red flags and latestagecapitalism vibes. It’s frustrating to see how many people fell for the marketing and have actually downloaded and used this app.
He just says absolutely anything without a single thought.
Same! It’s what led me to find Reddit a long time ago.
The Fediverse is essentially a collection of platforms (such as Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, and more). Each platform has a number of instances that are hosted separately, hence the decentralized nature of the Fediverse. For example, Lemmy is a platform, and Lemmy instances include Lemmy.world, Lemmy.ml, kbin.social, sh.itjust.works, and more. Others have posted links to lists of instances that you can look through.
It’s funny reading posts that say something along the lines of “I’ve always used the reddit app and it’s fine, I didn’t even know there were third-party apps”. I get this might be astroturfing or bots but if not, congrats on not having a clue, I guess.
Who the fuck cares about avatar gear and app icons?!
Yep, and they think everyone thinks that way. It’s like when JD Vance said that people who are childless have no investment in the future, as if we have no reason to care about the future of society without kids of our own.
