This happens with every migration from a large platform. One thing that insulates the fediverse, I think, is that it's non-commercial nature makes it enshittification-proof. There are a lot of significant problems, but it's super attractive that some tech-bro dickhead won't blow up the platform to satisfy shareholders' insatiable profit-lust.

Reddit is now firmly on the enshittification path, so it's only a matter of time before another exodus wave.

That's correct, but a lot of foams and soft plastics are also inherently unstable under normal conditions. Many consumer products have foams or soft rubbery exteriors that will quickly breakdown in a matter of years. These products should just be banned, they just contribute to landfill waste and planned obsolescence.

I agree, and, furthermore, corporate death penalties for this kind of shit need to be an actual thing. Did your actions directly cause disease and death? Yes? Great, we're dissolving your board, banning them form serving on the board of any publicly traded company for a decade, liquidating company assets, and criminally charging anyone who touched this shit with a 10-foot pole.

Best healthcare in the...ya know, fuck it, I can't even sarcastically finish the sentence

Wow, it's almost as if using a blockchain to do mundane tasks is hideously inefficient and stupid, and is solely the result of tech bros groupthinking onto the latest buzzword driven bandwagon and high-fiving about line go up.

tldr; fuck crypto and fuck blockchains

Worse: you're a DJ in 1998 and spend $12 for a 6 minute B-side.

This is how I got into an abusive 4-year relationship with Yog-Sothoth.

At least one of those is super innocuous and I have no idea why it got moderated. I have thoughts on the others.

LGBTQ+: You probably just don't want to fuck with any marginalized communities, even if it's a pretty light touch. It's not hard to apply a valid slippery slope argument here.

Unborn child: Abortion is a touchy area, but what is reaaalllly touchy is miscarriage, Your meme could be pretty upsetting for someone who has had one or knows someone who has (we all do). I obviously can't mindread the mods, but there's a another angle that could explain the deletion. People get worked up about this shit man

Bottom line: if you wanna do edgier memes, fire up an EdgelordMemez community and have at it.

Meh. It's fine.

Now if you slightly tilted that thing on its x-axis, I would be fucking enraged

Rule 3 ➜ Don't request or link to specific pirated titles

The rules exist for a reason and they aren't suggestions.

VICE CITY. First, nostalgia for all the 80s music, then nostalgia for playing Vice City. Double whammy

My favorite piece of the student loan debt dilemma: if you don't take on student loan debt, poors, you are going to die significantly sooner.
