Just switched over to the beta updates and that seems to have resolved the issue for me. Thanks!

What happens is some kid gets a gossip app which takes their contact data and then uses it to send this shit.

I used to get it pretty often too when I was in school.

Because people like pokemon that’s why.

There’s plenty of games with “edgy monsters” and I literally always forget them. But a fucking crab with a traffic cone for a shell? I will NEVER forget.

Besides the last franchise that tried to compete with Pokemon on top of adding the edgy monsters was Digimon and that’s…questionable at best.

A self image that has been instilled through years and years of highly targeted, and highly researched ad campaigns.

People “want” these because they believe they need it, because the ads told them they need it. Then the other men who own those vehicles proceed to shit on the men with smaller trucks, and those insecure enough to bend over get the big truck as well.

I don’t see this truck culture in Europe. I don’t see people buying stupid vehicles to go offroading full of expensive gadgets and so on. While I’m sure it exists in small pockets it is by no means the level it’s at here. (In Europe it’s probably more for sports cars anywho)

Point being, no one wanted those SUVs until the car companies told them they want those SUVs.

I’ve heard this plenty of times, but are you using that field? Are you using that forest? This road that road? Are you using the parking lot in Seattle when you live in Georgia?

“We have the space for bigger vehicles” does not make sense when we have to drive farther and farther to reach things that are useful for us. (Also sprawling development destroys local ecosystems, and along with that, natural resources.)

While I would’ve agreed with you a few years ago, it’s just not a realistic thought process when most people live their day-to-day lives in an area about the size of Luxembourg.

Big vehicles are a huge waste of valuable resources that could’ve been used on other things, such as infrastructure, public transport, smaller vehicles. Etc.

They are tricked into wanting big vehicles.

Please no I am trying to leave

So each instance within the fediverse can communicate with each other, but how do things like the feeds work? Since there’s no algorithm is everything from Lemmy.world only going to show up on the popular feed (if I’m on that instance) or can other things like lemmy.ee or whatever also show up?

And can I comment on posts from a different instance or does that vary per instance?

Sorry, last one. I noticed there are things like music streaming and video sharing instances within the fediverse, so could Lemmy theoretically allow content from those instances to be cross-posted here?

Basically to me this feels like a super modular super media platform that has tons of parts that can plop in and out of the system as needed.
