Yay

I’m an actress, not a jellyfish, you silly billy!

I can neither confirm nor deny the rumor that Ryan Gosling’s trailer on set always smelled of fish.

I think someone is really fishing for compliments here.

This smells a little bit fishy.

Nobody said it had to be a solid sphere, how else would you get it to emit the ominous hum without attuning its natural frequency by carefully designing the thickness of the obsidian layer?

You mean Barbie, right?

Because my movies are the only commercial interests permitted on Lemmy. Look at the banner of this community!

Remember to always tip your celebrities for promoting whatever dumb projects on on your Internet forums, god knows we could use the money.

But see, I finally got you to say it. 😁

Also, Academy Award Nominated, and hopefully finally winning it on the next one for Barbie.

I did have a movie out this year and may have promoted it just a little bit here.

But it will be… in four years!

I would say take a moment to think through the site design philosophy and focus on clarity instead of rushing to add features, since I feel that kbin is trying to do more, but it is still rather confusing to navigate.

Also, don’t burn yourself out.

Doesn’t really matter if they open sourced, since many reddit alternative over the years have been open source: Voat, Ruqqus, Raddle, doesn’t really make.a difference since they all failed one way or another. They either never hit that critical self sustaining mass of users, or they attracted the exact wrong type of users who drove out any reasonable users there.

Federation seems to be the only way to create that critical mass of users, and Lemmy is the only alternative that really succeeded (kbin is kinda…hanging on for dear life for various reasons but is alive only due to federation) precisely because it is not a website, but a platform inside of a greater ecosystem.

All Discuit really have is a pretty UI, as it is nowhere even near feature parity with a current defederated Lemmy instance, and Lemmy also has like a dozen different desktop and mobile UIs already.

What this shows us is that more people are joining lemmy, but even more people are either leaving or going into lurker mode, as Lemmy only counts people who have commented or posted in that time period as active users, whereas most social media counts any activity while logged in as active. You have to realize that people who use reddit as Google search results don’t usually interact with the content there and most won’t even make an account.

On the upside, with fewer people, it’s easy to get noticed here just by contributing good content since you don’t really get drowned out here because of the democratic upvote based sorting instead of black box personalized recommendation algorithms. So with relatively low amount of effort, you can make sure your content is being seen instead of relying on analytics and metrics.

The last thing to in mind that Lemmy is only one aspect of ActivityPub, and Mastodon’s growth is currently the highest right now because of the ecosystem created by the whale fall of Twitter, which indirectly grows Lemmy as Mastodon users can post directly to federated Lemmy communities.

The year of the beginning of the AI revolution, of the end of social media, of rising labor movements, of fallen titans orlf industries, of Barbies, and of Oppenheimers, and of rediscovering sincerity in a world full of absurdities.

The year of great changes yet to come.

Pre-alpha build. After more than a decade.

If Star Citizen is a person it would be starting junior high/middle school now.

I need to do more tech commentary here again.

You can’t trust anyone to be who they say they are in Hollywood nowadays: One minute you think you’re talking to Minnie Mouse, the next minute she takes her head off and turns out to be an old man pretending to be a character to make a living.

This is why it is so important for the world to have a celebrity who is exactly who they say they are and would never pretend to be somebody else on camera for a paycheck (I can’t remember what that job is called right now), like yours truly, Lemmy’s only real celebrity, esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie.
