How the fuck is peertube above Lemmy??? What the actual fuck??? Everytime I go there, it’s the same 3 people who’ve made like 5 daily videos about linux…and nothing else ever.

I get that I’m not exactly the target linux audience, but if KDE pulls an update from version 6.1 to 6.2, THAT IS NOT BREAKING NEWS!!! You do not need 10 videos discussing the 4 new features every time any linux software updates.

But THAT has more users than THIS??? It’s a broken down joke with a lot of potential that will never be realized until their search becomes intutive and all inclusive! I should have video results natively within the same page that pulls from ALL of peertube. Not just the current instance.

“Trending” should default to trending on all of peertube. You can include a filter to show trending on local instance only, but it shouldn’t be the default.

Are they using the number…100???

I’m so confused.

What state are you from?

Someone called you a snowflake? Ok…uh, I’ll call you a carrot.

But also, I don’t understand the rules for this game. It’s a snowman game, right?

…have you not been following the news the past 6 months?

Nah. 2007 was the year “The Big Bang Theory” began airing. Clearly not a good year for comedy.

Bananza!

I thought you were going to say it’s the 2 dads having sex with each other while the daughters watch…

…yeah, it’s fucked up, but there’s literally no outcome where a father sharing porn with his daughter titled “daughter swap” ISN’T going to be fucked up, ya know? I just thought you were taking it in a whole different direction.

Maybe see a therapist after this.

…titty pictures of girls in bikinis from women who claim to be influencers, but have an audience that mostly doesn’t communicate or care what she has to say, thus negating any influence her words have?

…did you just have a stroke??? Did you turn Japanese midsentence? What just happened here?

Be sure to let them know the Fediverse is kind of like the Marvelverse. Except instead of being a universe of Marvel, it’s a universe about Kevin Federline! The Fediverse!!!

…I just realized that joke is so old that it’s not culturally relevant anymore. Nobody knows who K-Fed was…or cares.

Dammit! It’s a funny joke if this were 2006!

What are you guys posting pictures of over on pixelfed? What’s goin’ on over there that’s so popular? Is it more politics, and social issues? Or is it cats?

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they’re like OH MY GOD WHY IS THE CAT DEAD???

HAZZAH! Maybe soon we can talk baseball in the guardians community (and how Jose Rameriez is our baseball lord!), and talk about Tim Misney’s eyebrows in the Cleveland community.

You KNOW what I do! eyebrows

And to anyone reading this NOT from Cleveland, and have no idea what I’m talking about…

eyebrows intensify

Oh, I’ve seen the appologists here on Lemmy hours after he did it. I downvoted them and told them to fuck off.

Hey, can you go to /r/Cleveland, and convince them all to move to /c/Cleveland?

And /r/ClevelandGuardians to move to !clevelandguardians@fanaticus.social?

To be fair…based on it knowing who it is, and what he’s doing, if you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes it doesn’t sound plausible. Like if you heard that there was nazi salutes being done at the official presidential inauguration, you’d think “ah, this guys exaggerating. He probably made a small gesture that’s being taken out of context”

Except no. He full on did a nazi salute. Enthusiastically at that. And then he thought “Oh, my bad, the people in the back probably couldn’t see that. LET ME DO ANOTHER NAZI SALUTE FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK BEHIND ME!”

And he did it A SECOND time!

It’s not chatGPTs fault it’s unable to discern absurdity from reality at this point. You can’t blame the program for what life has become. I fully expect The Onion to publish an article over the next 4 years that just says “We give up. Fuck it. We can’t make up crazier shit than NPR at this rate.”

Here’s my problem with a facebook replacement.

I don’t like facebook. Now lets take away all the spying, and data collecting. Lets take away all the corruption. Lets take away the politics. Lets take away the ads. Lets take away everything that most people assosiate with facebook being evil. Lets look at facebook as purely what it claims to try to be. A socizl media gathering place to post pictures of your life. Connect with friends. Post stories. Read others posts. All that.

Lets take facebook at that face value, and only that. Ok? Everybody on the same page? Cool.

I still don’t like facebook. Even without the other stuff, I’m just not the type to document and share my life.

So I start to think about that stuff we excluded earlier. All the evil bullshit. And I realize that my mom and sisters all use facebook. So logically it would make sense to introduce them to frendica, right?

Here’s the issue. I look at what my mom would use facebook/frendica for. She uses it to stay in touch with her sewing friends/groups. People she’s spent 40 years sewing various quilts and projects with. It’s like a book club, but instead of reading and discussing books, they all sew things and share their teqniques.

So I’d have to convince not only my mom to switch, but also all 40+ of her sewing group crew. Then I’d also have to convince the 200 or so OTHER people she’s connected with because “oh, I used to know you in the 1960s when I lived in another state, but now I can reconnect with you and share stuff because the internet and facebook exists!”

THEN I’d need to convince her that facebook is bad. Because without a problem, even if I did manage to get all 250ish people to use friendica, why would they make the switch if they’re already on facebook?

YOU see the problem, and I see the problem…but they won’t. Facebook as it is, from their eyes, is working just fine.

And thats my issue with friendica. It’s there to solve a very real problem, that nobody is asking to fix.

Well now someone needs to make a linux distro called “Spring Fresh” and never explain the orgin.
