Article headline: Venomous spiders are invading the north eastern US

The actual information: They're harmless, pose no threat to humans, or their pets. But we had to use arachnophobia as a weapon for clickbait

I feel like if Lemmy wants to be more successful, they need to include the fake internet points for people to chase after

people treating any criticism whatsoever of joe biden as an endorsement of putin

if only we as a society could move past george bush's words "you're either with us, or you're a terrorist"

Gotta admit I don’t like tik tok cause I just mostly find it annoying and a social media app where you HAVE to post a video is a terrible way to exclude people who don’t wanna do that lol

But it’s also unconstitutional to ban it and is actually exactly what the first amendment is about, contrary to what nazis thought it meant

There's this thing in Second Life where creators will make template mesh clothing you can buy and customize, texture, and then resell as a fully realized product, which is kind of like buying beats as a musician

And there are people who have a real problem with this (mostly customers and snooty SL events)

But AI is spreading like the plague in Second Life and I would pose, what's the big deal with paying an artist for some pre-rigged mesh when ppl are out here using theft machines

Heads-up for those that would like to keep art theft out of their feeds and instances

aipub.social is an instance filled with generated theft, add to your suspension lists immediately

I'm not interested in ways a singular person can impact climate change when the corporations burning energy for AI and other frivolous and evil things are 99% of the contribution to our planet becoming uninhabitable

What's Peertube, you ask? A replacement for the ad-pocalypse we once knew as Youtube

I'm only following him because I wish more of them would have accounts that work with the fediverse.

@potus

It's threads which is not ideal and half of ya'll won't even be able to see it. But... baby steps.

I like how my online presence is so nebulous and ureadable that targeted ads think I'm a senior citizen

When I left Twitter and joined Threads, it eventually brought me back to Mastodon, albeit with a bunch of turbulence until I opened my own instance

And I think if I can look at Threads and go “I should try Mastodon,” so can other people

As some, or many, may know, a lot, or maybe even just a few instances across the activitypub fediverse have pacted to block federation with the corporate giant Meta, or to be more specific, Threads. Threads is a new take on the Twitter experience, meant to be a kinder, less hostile place to post. All-in-all, after about six or seven months, I might call it only really marginally better.

Living in Pennsylvania I see Amish people a lot, usually in the mornings while I’m at work

Sometimes I wonder if they’re happier without and/or not having everything that makes our lives miserable

I'm a little wary that toot dot io has a staunch anti-nsfw stance on their instance, while they offer hosting services (that I'm currently using)

Feeling a bit worried they might nuke me if I support sex workers lol

Is this a thing that could happen, or has happened? should I be worried?
