Your comment I think more so gets to the point I had been trying to make. Mastodon doesn’t exactly roll of the tongue and just feels “off” for what the platform “is”. I realize this is a small thing, but twitter actually was a brilliant name that swiftly and concisely allowed its audience to understand its purpose. You “tweet” small snippets of opinions back and forth similar to the chorus created by a flock of birds tweeting amongst each other. The mental imagery is quite descriptive of what the purpose of the platform is. I think it would be disingenuous to discount that in twitters success in the past.

As someone in the medical field, I just can’t fathom the shear audicity. It is well known you DO NOT fuck with the medical board. The fact they gave her a second chance and she went right back to doing it. Wow, she deserves every bit of what she got.

I think it’s also a boom and bust factor here. Take Elden ring for example, that subreddit popped off when the game released and still has a decent yet not nearly as active user base as before. It’s unlikely that cultural influences (aka meme potential) is strong enough currently to move that here to Lemmy. That might change with the exspansion coming out later. I think this example applies to most other organic communities on platforms like Lemmy. There needs to be some type of “buzz” and social interest in a given topic. Over time, I think we will see that happen more and more on Lemmy as well. Reddit was not built overnight and had to undergo the same process taking many years to be as robust on content as it is today.

Imagine hating a child for “shuffles deck” caring about the planet she lives on.

For the life of me I can’t understand this. It doesn’t even make sense from a business perspective. Like, yes people will pay to see this movie no matter what but that good will will dry up eventually. Any amount of effort to have made these movies legitimately decent would have paid off vastly in the long run. It just seems utterly bizarre that Disney would just YOLO this shit and stand around as their golden goose is slowly strangled for what ever gold flakes they can pick out of the shit

Well shit, just set up shop here. Had made a back up account on vlemmy the other day and that’s down too. What’s going on?
