I mean... Not really. But tbh, if anyone feels like "all nudity is bad" in America, it's the GOP. So, there is significant irony in a party member potentially participating in dissemination - knowing the number of times any involvement in the past has been criticized on these very grounds.

 

Just thinking about all the... Shall we say "under used" pickup trucks in my neck of the woods. Bought to look like the owner moves shit - when in reality it just signals to me they have the money to make others do it for them.

This reminds me of the meat canyon Garfield.

I'm referring to the trend of posts criticizing (via memes) twitter screenshots. https://lemmy.world/post/1348807 https://sopuli.xyz/post/1213803 https://lemm.ee/post/1007393

it is essentially echoing ideas as old as twitter/reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/jeyscl/a_twitter_screenshot_is_not_a_meme/

I don't have anything to add per se.

But I guess my question is - what does it matter insofar as using the software. It's open source and intended for distrubuted use. So, the creators intentions are a bit... Irrelevant - no?

Best to separate the art from the artist so to speak. Otherwise, should we not save lives with immoraly gained medical insights, and not appreciate civil rights gains from an adulterer?

To me, it just came across as petulant. Ironically, the "conclusion" was basically a TLDR for anyone interested.

I'm a lurker doing a little posting/commenting to "be the change I want to see" so to speak. If lemmy gets bigger, I will likely return to my lurker ways.

makes sense to me. I think the more localized promotion (up/down doots) is probably sufficient/better than globally promoting accounts - but hey, I'm waiting to be convinced otherwise.

Y no/yes Karma??? (i.kym-cdn.com)
 

I've heard the following argument: Karma Botting/Manipulation is bad which I TOTALLY agree with.

however, I'm curious - what are the reasons FOR karma existing? (strongest argument pro)

is there no way to meet the goals of karma without the drawbacks?

honest question.

 

I really tried this time.

I'm honestly more curious about this than I was about any of the locked safes.

Dang... I just signed up and picked that instance since it's powered by renewables and the agora exists. I'll give it a minute to see how things go, but looks like I should switch to another instance.
