lemmy was like the poison that got me on the road to recovery lol. after years of reddit i was literally one of the first ppl here in the post-api wave, i couldn’t give up scrolling but was so mad about the ethics. switched instances a couple times but in the end you just realize that social media as a concept, even if it’s technically hosted non-profit, is still structured after a model that was created to serve capital. lemmy still enables toxicity in the same way reddit did, and i was just like damn why would i invest time in a platform that doesn’t even make me happy haha
i know hehe thats why i linked it
aw man :(
my blocklist grew to like over 80 then i was like, damn shawty do you actually like being here?, then i left 😅
definitely happens on non political memes and linux communities in my experience :(
thanks i guess lol, i was pretty young when i first heard it and it’s a pretty useful model so i like to share :)
thanks stranger bestie, see you in the parking lot after bagging <3
So important that the memes get on top of this story and double down on this specific hypocrisy. Optically, this tragedy is perfect for the RNC to the point it could almost be staged except for the glaring weak spot that Republicans believe that the person who did this had every right to own a firearm. The memes need to absolutely rail at that chink in the armor and pretty much nothing else, otherwise this is nothing more than gained footing for MAGA.
this shit (what the landlord did) should be illegal and prosecutable?
imagine renting farmland out to a farmer, waiting for them to plant and grow crops right up till before harvest, then try to pull a switch and up the rent because “🤓☝️the land is worth more now.”
like no shit the plants on the property add value. value that came directly from the tenant in hundreds of hours of labor and materials!!??!!
good on this tenant for getting the W on the situation. im sure for countless poor others the opposite has been true :(
