i think their point is if you want to comment make a google account and comment… or dont.

personally, it boggles the mind why anyone would want to do that.

beauty. this should make leaving to other fediverse platforms more attractive to that audience.

yep. people just don’t understand how big the universe is.

i didnt not vote non-fascist because of dejoy

thanks, dude

ive been waiting 30 years for them to end the ‘war on drugs’. or enact ‘universal health care’.

notice they let the post office get brutalized with irrational fiscal policies and have done nothing to stop it. hell, biden still hasnt removed the guy that was put in place to fuck it all up.

college costs an arm and a leg because the let student be victimized by student loans. they arent trying to stop that loan process. just clear out some old debts. half-assed at that.

theyve done almost nothing to simplify the tax paying process despite every other modern taxing country having it be automatic.

so many little bits they just dont give 2 shits about because money. because corporate interests.

i freakin love fast food, and as soon as covid hit i had to start a ‘blacklist’ of places that have gotten so bad (chipotle/tacobell/bugerking), its just not even kind of worth it.

fiveguys is one of my favorites as it did not change in any way.

go lookup the tax rates in the 60s/70s. we used to

dictators dont steal or take control. its handed to them.

yeah that entire series was kind of mind fuck. i loved it

oh im sure. the grass is always greener and all that…

how many very dark/horror stories are there were eternity is the true evil? many.

brazil jumped from twitter, that was a huge part of it. the election caused another wave.

bluesky is just twitter with faux-federation. it will end up with the same issues eventually when its board decides to recoup.

yes, its a chicken and egg problem and a huge hurdle for literally anyone trying to create new platforms.

its about feature parity (even if they dont really exist, re:account portability), marketing among other things. bluesky is run buy a bunch of big names who were able to draw an initial load of users which got their ball rolling.

its about blueskys volume reaching a ‘critical mass’ which will continue to then draw users.

huge groups (recently, brazil) moved there en-masse because it already had a ton of users.

its the same reason twiiter even still has users… they dont want to leave that volume of subscribers.

then its even more likely as skin cells are sloughed off 24/7 and where do they go? everywhere.

yeah cuz what we need is more advertising.pfft.

pfft. sometimes its worth the 5$ to not have to slow down to cafe speed. and i like fast food, its designed to be overtly tasty

reddit used to release page-views and maybe user info (i forget) annually.

there was a bunch of users that jumped over to digg, but they continued to also use reddit. when digg died there was a small bump of digg users, but i dont recall anything noticable in the big subs

haha this is not true… dude i was there, digg came/went and little impact on reddits user base

the simple reason is geographic isolation of populations. over time groups of people in different places gain minute genetic differences relating to their region/breeding population.

its geography + genetic drift
