You do realize by virtue of having a blahaj account, admiral considers you one of these violent extremist leftists he shadowbans, right? You're literally going to bat for your own oppressor right now.
Fascists won't consider you one of the "good ones" no matter how much you defend them, just some food for thought.
Admiral used Blahaj as an example of a "terrorist" instance in their rant.
This confirms they are just another garden variety fascist trying to sanitize the world around them because they're too fragile to adapt, and in their psychosis they think everyone else will support their obviously broken mindset.
Yo admiral fash, if you're here with us go ahead and add me to your walmart brand palantir system. I stand with LGBTQIA, and rest assured I'd have some violence for you for silencing their voices.
Mihon and several forks are still actively developed and both extension repos, one of which being Keiyoshi, are also still actively maintained. Where are you getting your information? Might want to stop listening to whoever is telling you this.
For OP: you could try something like xoxocomic. I haven't gone through their library extensively so I'm not sure how much of what you're looking for they'll have
Tell us you don't know what a mayor does without telling us you don't know what a mayor does
....in what way? If you consume more calories than your body burns to function, the excess is stored as mass. The opposite if you consume less, excess mass is burned. This is basic science, so if you've discovered some new major breakthrough in how human biology works I think we'd all be curious to hear it.
Astroturfing, trolling, testing whether the average commentor can gauge whether they're arguing with a bot someone has been tweaking, who knows. It's really not something I expend a lot of effort or thought on, I've just found a lot of accounts that I question the authenticity of based on odd activity, personally.
I have to disagree with many of the comments in this thread saying there are no / minimal bots here. I started tagging users pretty frequently instead of blocking over a year ago, and it's pretty eye opening to see those accounts pop up in the wild posting completely opposing content or opinions from week to week. Sometimes even from thread to thread. Especially when it comes to politics or AI, for example. It doesn't help that ban evading and making alts is dead simple.
Of course, this is just my opinion based on my own experiment and observations. I've been convinced many times I was arguing with some fash chud only to then see them completely agreeing with my position in another thread two days later. Normal people don't flip flop that easily. I think LLM controlled bots are a totally different beast than what many of us are used to, and its much harder to see past the facade in the moment.
If your fedi client has a tagging feature, you might be surprised what you see when you start paying attention over time.
Edit: Just for clarity, this isn't some extensive project I devote time and effort to, I don't have solid answers for you regarding the rigor of my method or why people decide to make or use bots on a niche corner of the internet. I've personally noticed a lot of odd account activity in my few years here that has gotten more common with the ubiquity of LLMs. I'm not claiming bots outnumber real users, either. It's completely fine to disagree! Enjoy the fediverse as it is as you see fit.
shop.toripng.com if anyone else was interested. Unfortunately these aren't available as enamel pins, but there are keychain charms and stickers!
They caught a company stealing their intellectual property and lying to consumers that they had permission to create a product and fulfill orders as a result of that theft, and promptly shut their bullshit down. While I'm not a big fan of some IP laws and how they can be abused, I'm struggling to see how you think Valve deserves any reproach for this. This isn't even the first time this company has tried this shit and been slapped for it. At this point its a pattern of behavior that implies they are intentionally trying to steal and scam.
And yet you're still here, unable to relax and enjoy your day because you're addicted to a chat bot and someone made a meme about it online that you didn't like, resulting in pointless arguing with strangers online to feel validated. That is some seriously sad, terminally online behavior.
Anyhow, my lunch break is over. Hope your day it gets better! My therapist usually recommends less screen time, if that helps.
Lmao, is this ANOTHER admiral fash alt? Bruh, check yourself in for a mental health eval. Lemmy is not this big of a deal.
