Pop up ads in the early internet days are what made me not ever want to click on an ad. Regular people must have missed that era of Internet.

I first joined reddit in 2011 and Lemmy definitely reminds me of early reddit. Except back then I probably lurked for about a year before I even made my first comment or post. I joined Lemmy about a month ago and I’m slowly starting to participate already.

Reddit only cares to bring the banhammer down if a subreddit negatively makes headlines.

What got me is the upcoming one week Nestle and one week General Mills boycotts… Do the people who came up with these boycotts not realize that the stores that carry those products, already paid for those products? And the rebuttal to any skepticism is that it’ll at least get people used to not buying these products or shopping at these places. Do people really need to take baby steps? Is that how much we, as a society, are addicted to buying things? Pat yourself on the back America! Fascism may be quickly on the rise, but good work, you didn’t buy Cheerios for a whole week!

Touché. I’ve grown exhausted of people becoming so unhinged on the internet. I haven’t been on Lemmy long and was thinking most people seemed normal so far… But I guess you’re always going to end up coming across unhinged people eventually.

Sometimes I just don’t understand human behavior.

I think I saw that exchange yesterday. Was it the person that absolutely freaked out over another user being called a male term? (I can’t remember exactly what it was, I want to say “son” but I don’t think that was it). I use Voyager and I don’t see profile pictures or even any descriptions on people’s profiles. I didn’t even know that existed until that person was freaking out and calling everyone transphobes for not knowing.
