what in gods name is happening over there, between this and removing awards they’ve been acting really weird since the protest

When the dreaded Argentinian gourd shipment ruins your career because of a thumbs up emoji

I would agree if they didn’t already shovel in 10 million people from instagram in the past few hours, and you cant leave without deleting your facebook and instagram accounts and everything you have invested in them. They gained in the past few hours more people than the entire Fediverse has gained over the course of several years.

It’s only been a few hours and they already have more users than the entire Fediverse did during its peak by yesterday after all of this recent drama. We are already fucked, I salute every one of you as the fediverse sinks.

Can we actually fight back, though? most of the people using the Fedi are on Mastodon, primarily coming from places like Twitter and Reddit because of the recent drama. The biggest complaint new people have is about how complicated Masto and other fediverse services are to get into for people who aren’t tech savvy, between choosing different instances and figuring out how to use them. Meanwhile, Meta provides a familiar, convenient experience from a brand they already know, even with its horrible reputation. Then when 90% of “fediverse” users are on Threads instead of the rest of the fedi, they’ll announce that they are dropping support for ActivityPub and there will only be a few thousand people left elsewhere to mourn it.

Whelp, time to pack up I guess. Mastodon is the biggest player in the fediverse right now, so if Meta EEE’s us then the fediverse as a concept is doomed.

Lol she does look like Weird Al

BREAKING NEWS! Flying car piloted by CEO Jetson Bankroll and 5 others crash into the Empire State Building! Over 2000 people reported dead or injured, passengers still missing and efforts to find them in the rubble are underway.

Wow, the only reasonable comment talking about “censorship” in this thread.
Another example I can think of is when the CCP announced that they were going to put restrictions on depicting “feminine men” in media, so I went to r/GenshinImpact to see the riots that would unfold from having their femboys taken away. there was a post about it that appeared on google but had been removed, so I went on there using removeddit and found several with over 3k upvotes each that had all been removed, undoubtedly by the mods shilling for the Chinese government.

That is how 90% of the posts in the sub ended up being the same couple questions repeated ad infinitum.

yes. end of story.

If they can’t get their fix of Marjorie Tailor Greene getting SLAMMED on twitter or rage bait clips of some woman making a really bad food for clicks with sped up music posted from TikTok, they might.

Looks like Reddit’s cunning plan is to compete with Quora

Response: “You must be possessed by a demon, you poor, miserable sinner. In order to cleanse yourself of its dark energies you should surround your bed with cleansing crystals and give yourself wholly to Christ and repent.”

Lmao, how terrible!

Nope, they just straight up deleted them. Not even going for subtlety anymore.
