Just wait

Dude. It’s been 2 years. The people who were going to leave because of Elon already left.

I’m not saying the current twitter userbase 100% fully believe in his views, but I am saying that they’re not leaving the platform over it.

Either they don’t know about bluesky/mastodon, or they don’t care enough to leave.

…20 years…4 presidential elections?

Did you miss a few? Or am I worse at math than I thought?

Upvoted for correct, accurate, and complete information. I really don’t have much to add, other than to say good work!

I feel like the bad guy in the street fighter movie. There’s a scene where an asian woman is being held captive, and the bad guy wants to know why she’s so angry with him.

She says “10 years ago you came to my village, killed the men and children, raped the women, and burned the village to the ground. You killed my father! You don’t remember???”

And the bad guy says “For you it was the most important day of your life. The day you met the great ruler. For me? It was just Tuesday.”

And that’s kind of how I live my life. I mean, not so much the murder and rape. I don’t do that.

But I show up in threads, say some random shit running through my brain, and leave. Confusing the absolute shit out of everyone in the process. The key is, I’m just a really weird guy who uses Lemmy as an outlet for both my boredom, AND my lonelyness!

Burger King pornhub and peanuts? I mean…it sounds like me, but I would need more context to remember the thread.

Sometimes I’ll see posts from months ago I said and I’ll say “Holy shit, I SAID that??? THAT’S AWESOME!!!”

I really wish I could monitize my weirdness.

HEY!!! YOU!!! GIVE ME MONEY!!!

…did it work? Do I have money?

In 3 different unrelated subs, and all said to be performed as an automated action?

Also of note, I got permabanned on May 7th.

May 4th I joined Mastadon. Using the same email as my reddit email.

This wasn’t drawn just for this picture?

I hate music.

Yes, that’s true. This all happened like 3 weeks after they went public IPO. I didn’t buy it, because I thought reddit had a decent chance of falling on it’s ass on the free market. It’s a 10+ year old company that’s never made a profit. It’s reasonable to assume it might fail.

3 weeks after I declined, and they went public, I suddenly get 3 temporary bans in a week, and the 3rd one was a permanent ban. All by autobots.

“Taking away peoples freedom is whats best for users! It’s the American way!”

…yes.

Holy shit! There’s a railway line that connects all 3 with nothing in between??? Shit man. I heard they get negative 60 degree winds. Must be a hell of a scary ride! No wonder they don’t use it anymore…

Well…the problem is reddit’s size.

I’m not part of reddit anymore because they filtered me out for abusive content.

The content that was so abusive? I told a story on /r/Cleveland about the time 35 years ago I got my bike stolen.

I wasn’t accusing any current reddit user of being the theif. But reddit bots flagged me of being abusive to other users.

We don’t even know if that guy who stole my bike 35 years ago is even still alive, much less an active redditor on /r/Cleveland. So who am I being abusive to, when I say it’s a bad idea to let strangers ride your bike without some kind of assurance you’ll get it back?

…ok, I’m the most giggly at even the most obscure sexual references. You can’t even talk about putting things in a box without me mentally giggling.

That being said…what’s the innuendo?

Ha ha! In you end-o! It’s buttsex!

I mean…I was refering more to the idea of having someone in my life who loves me. I HAVE gummy snacks. I just don’t have someone to feed them to me…

That first paragraph might be you using absurdist humor. Or it might be a legitimate quote from trump during a televised debate I missed.

I CAN’T TELL ANYMORE!!! EITHER ONE IS JUST AS LIKELY!!!

“The democrats are using the dead to illegally vote in our elections, it’s true. It’s halloween season, the ghosts like to come into the city, and vote. They’re not sending their best. Their sheets are stained, folks. Dirty laundry. They even sent the ghost of an Ohio pet cat that they ate. I saw it, very sad. Said meow. We tried to get the Scooby gang to help, but the Scooby gang has gone woke. Everybody is gone woke. They’re stealing the country…”

What even IS this decade??? Back in 2016 I used to joke that maybe the world really did officially end in 2012 and this was all just reality starting to distort and fall apart.

Now I’m not even joking. What evidence do we have that this is real life???

People keep forgetting rage against the machine lyrics. They never stopped being relevant.

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses

Ok. We’re going to fix this. Here’s what we do. First, you abandon your toddler. Just forget about them. They’re dead weight. They’re holding you back. But don’t worry, I’LL be the new toddler. Nevermind tbe fact that I’m 41.

I’ll go take a nap, and you go clean my kitchen. When I wake up, you can give me gummy snacks, and some juice, and some hugs.

…now 41 year old me is sad, because that all sounds really nice.

Oh, I figure you make your own community. The Mastodon account grows your blogs awareness. The Lemmy community serves as a place to discuss your blog while also being host to the majority of the conversation. And the blog is the host of the content.

Wait, what’s wrong with midwest.social?

…how you gonna call her male when she lists just about every pronoun in existence in her username EXCEPT for he/him?
