And now they're apparently starting to set up shop on Lemmy too. Before I blocked it, I saw they're on their best behaviour too. But mark my words, once the dating and flirting period is over, their shoes are going to come off and their feet are going to be up on the table.
I would've hoped that by now everyone would've learnt their lesson to never trust or listen to these people again. They flat out lie when they're talking about things like 'freedom' and once they're in power, they serve themselves and fuck over everyone else in society. And their leaders, that they don't mind associating with and supporting are a bunch of inbred kiddie fiddlers and have been since long before Trump. And yet here we are again, letting them have a seat at the table.
These people cannot be fucking trusted. And I'm willing to bet that they're going to be a source of a lot of downvote trolling too, in queer communities and women-centric communities.
personally i think they are sanitizing the site
Yeah, I also get the impression that they're making it more 'radio friendly' for advertisers and shit. I used Reddit for a little bit over a decade, used to be a lot more rowdy there back then, and about two years ago I got hit with my first suspension for an anti religion, then my second and my third in the same year, also for stupid shit. Didn't bother appealing the first two but managed to successfully appeal that third one. And I've been hanging on since then until a couple of months ago.
posting behaviour, writing style
I think they would definitely catch me on these if I had to spend too much time there.
unless a Luthor
I don't really mind, personally. Pretty sure Lex has outsmarted Brainiac once or twice too and even combined with him in the Justice League Unlimited cartoon if I remember correctly (I clearly remember Darkseid combining with Brainiac but pretty sure it happened earlier with Lex too).
And over all, the Superman corner of DC (even though it's still popular) has probably got less than half the attention of Batman if you add all of the adaptations and appearances up. So even over used Superman villains (or their relatives) aren't as beaten to death as Joker and the rest of the Gotham gang.
I wonder if Frank will still return
I actually thought it was Frank just resprouting again at first. That was shit with the cum rag was actually fucking gross lol.
I've been playing around with Facebook for the last couple of weeks and the censorship is so crazy these days is isn't funny. But only if you post anti Trump and Elon content, even as a non American. I've already had a couple of posts flagged for 'misinformation' since after Zuckerberg made this announcement and I've seen it happening to other actual Americans too. These 'free speech' people are all fucking jokes and liars and the biggest pearl clutchers whenever someone exercises their free speech to speak against them.
One of the things on my wishlist for Stardew Valley version 10 or whatever, is an NPC overhaul to take them off rails and make them more Skyrim like. For example, they have their schedules but the rest of the pathfinding etc is up to them. So that they can walk around objects and maybe do unexpected shit sometimes.
Just wanted to come back here and say, finally have an appointment for March 7. Definitely a general doctor first like I assumed for a basic assessment and shit, then from there I find out where I need to go or what to do.
Yeah that's fair enough and I'm definitely generalizing. It's just the general sum of my personal observations over the years. And it could easily be just seeing the wrong conversations in the wrong places or whatever. To be fair, you seem to hear about US issues a lot more than European issues on the net in general anyway.
Well that was one hell of a twist in the Frank murder. And Frank(ette) 2 came a lot sooner than expected lol. I'm wondering if maybe Lena has a double motive and had something going on with Woodrue. She was the one that reintroduced Ivy to him.
Edit: also, Poison Ivy was a dumbass rushing to attack Brainiac without any plants.
I don't want to start a war or anything but as someone from neither the USA or Europe, Europeans online often come across as even more exceptionalist than Americans, despite the reputation to the contrary. Because, at least in leftish or liberal spaces, no one is more ready to shit on and call out the USA than Americans. And I don't mean they're anti-American or whatever, they just want their country to be better, so they call out all the shit.
Europeans on the other hand often seem more proud and / or defensive about their countries. Maybe they speak openly in their own country specific communities but I don't get the sense that they're as open and friendly to outside input or criticism as the Americans are.
The way I see it, we're all hooked onto the same stream of memes and billionaire owned news sources everywhere across the world. So thinking we're immune to being overtaken by dangerous alt right nonsense and ignoring all the obvious signs would be a very stupid move, wherever you are. If they're not taking this seriously, they're doing exactly what the Americans did and have done since 2016.
On the flip side of this, my main account was banned there but my alt account that I've also had for a few years now wasn't. And I've even made a post or two with it there in the months since my main was banned, just to see.
And the funny thing is, the last time I was a banned for a few days (I managed to successfully appeal), they also banned my alt account that I had never even posted on before. Then unbanned it along with my main account after my appeal. So clearly their systems are aware that the two accounts are the same person.
Not sure if the mods will see this. Gonna delete this post actually. There's a tiny chance of anyone I've spoken about seeing this but the chance is there nonetheless.
I hated that hairstyle when I was a kid too lol.
I was actually thinking of coming back to this and asking if you'd heard anything. Thanks for the update! Pretty weird that it's just seemingly running like a zombie there.
I haven't seen any of the porn communities in the three non porn instances I've tried here personally. So out of the big ones, world seems to already de-federated at least.
Evil corporate social media
You're right. I honestly wasn't even thinking. Going to edit my comment now.
Also Frank dying and the killing of Woodrue seems to parallel Frank being born and creation of Ivy.
Never noticed that! So this definitely seems like it's going to tie Woodrue into the Brainiac storyline somehow.
I think Blåhaj handled this person well over all. Even if Drag wad just 100% troll, drag wasn't being fed in Blåhaj and had to go elsewhere. But also there was always the chance that drag is just someone on a journey or with things to sort out. Some people have completely given up on being any gender and treat it like a joke in an almost nihilistic way. But clearly there's a line between that and an actual troll.
Either way, I wouldn't say that it's standard heterosexual cisgender behaviour to go as far as Drag did just for the lulz. So maybe one of these days, Drag will have an awakening and remember how no one in the community either fed drag or shunned drag when drag was confused and behaving badly.
Ooh that's a nice one. And another in the J related names category. Thanks!

Fake it. Smile and wave when people reveal their politics or weird shit (that we all have) that doesn't vibe with you. Keep it shallow and surface level, like talk about music and movies and shit. Indulge in conversations about this restaurant or that brand of tea or some shit but never show them who you really are. And they won't even notice that they don't really know you and it's all good being an alien. Maybe everyone does this on some level.
And I'm protecting insanely here in case you couldn't tell (but that's because I relate) but instead of saying "go to therapy", I'm gonna say do yourself a favour and spend some time lurking in some mental health related communities / spaces and see if you relate to any of the things that people say there. And how much of it you relate to. And look up "autistic burnout" too.
As I say (just making double clear), I'm giving you this advice based on my own life so far. So maybe your story is different. But I related a lot to a lot of what you said here.
Based on a couple of arguments I've now had, they actually sound a lot like manosphere, anti woke people. Just a bit more intelligent and well read. But even the "trans ideology" phrase that they like to use is just their version of "woke agenda".
I think that it is a sect of feminism that has been created and seeded by the same right wing christian nationalist types that are also behind the manosphere and MAGA. The Peter Thiel and Elon Musk types. They realised in the '90s that calling everything "satanic" wasn't working, so they started coming up with new terminology to pull people in.
First it was "SJWs", then "woke" but it all attracts the same kind of people. And "trans ideology" was the term they came up with for women that read and aren't completely dense. So they're all behaving like reborn christians and going around stomping out anything the norm. But they also sincerely believe they're right.
But honestly, based on the conversations I've had so far, all alt right people have the same talking points, which TERFs definitely are a part of. They're just, as I say, not as clearly dumb as other alt right types.
