Oh fuck someone identified a tiny flaw in what I said!

I have encountered some rage here that reminded me of Reddit but it’s much more rare.

How many of those people have rifles?

That’s a form of surrender, yes.

Here’s a summary of our findings: We located reporting from as far back as 2009 and 2014 that said when Elon Musk (“Elon” hereafter) was a child in South Africa in the 1980s, his father (“Errol” hereafter) at some point owned “a stake in an emerald mine” near Lake Tanganyika in Zambia, not South Africa. Beyond that, we were unable to find any evidence that showed money generated from his father’s involvement in the mine helped Elon build his wealth in North America.

I once owned a share of Microsoft, therefore I owe any success to that.

Especially since the emerald mine thing turned out to be a hoax.

Thanks, I love you too.

Does British English distinguish between different kinds of “rubbish” like American English? We generally refer to organic waste as “garbage” and inorganic waste as “trash.”

Agreed, but the roar of such sentiment just prior to the election that immediately died out tells you most people saying that didn’t actually believe it.

Those who do kept their mouths shut until after the election, because we knew doing otherwise would just elect Trump.

Twinsies!

Ah jeeze I was walking my dog and missed the cancer part. Sorry to hear you had to go through that and I hope it’s gone for good.

Everything else though, spot on.

Weird; very similar story to mine.

I guess they had to make more room on their servers for bots and morons.

Yet.

I guess the equivalent would be creating a new account on reddit.com, as opposed to lemmy.world vs lemmy.ml etc.

Anyway, I obviously agree with your decision or I wouldn’t be here. I’m just telling you most people do not feel that way.

But you must understand that there are a potentially infinite number of instances and people have limited time to sign up for them.

So they pick one, or two, or three, that seem okay.

Then one turns out to be ran by a pedophile, so they stop using that one.

Then one turns out to be a front for tankies, so they stop using that one.

Then one turns out to [insert valid criticism of a popular instance], so they are back to account age 0 and searching for a new instance.

In the old Reddit days you’d never lose your account (or have reason to abandon it) unless you were a nazi or pedophile. I had a twelve year old account banned because someone mass reported all of my (porn) posts, many were auto-actioned, and my appeals were all auto-denied.

TIL. Thank you.

First of all, how dare you.

People like having long account ages.

Enjoy watching the Palestinian people get eradicated because you couldn’t vote against it.
