  • All I can say is. I agree exactly with your statement.

    Im from South Africa and that was my initial like for the guy (no other knowledge than that he was South African) but as I got to see him more and more, learn about his background, I realised that he is nothing more than the classic South african rich kid or poes as we call em in SA.

    Right around the point where he started calling people pedophiles for not letting him do some crazy thing, I saw that poes he always was, since then I have seen him become more and more of that poes.

    I hope everyday he loses everything.

    Poes is a vagina in South African Afrikaans but its used more of a diss than an the anatomical description, which would be a dis on vaginas at the comparison.











  • I’m glad I’m not alone either. I’m thinking he could of swayed the independent voters who were confused but, to be honest things have changed in such a crazy weird way, I don’t think it would of mattred. His faithful friend John Oliver was doing his absolute best but the message fell between the mass noise brought on by the maga crowd.

    Some people suffer from reddit nostalgia and forget some of the most disgusting subs and activity during the early days was common place but as time went on it rooted them out and forged a better sense of community. Then trump emboldened idiots to be idiots and cultists obey their leader. Questionable people bought up share and spez suffered a stroke after Elon gave him the boner after telling him how much power he has.




  • Hear me out.

    Elon destroys twitter and eventually makes it a joke and no one can be trusted cause the process of verification for that is a joke now.

    Spez destroys reddit. Shuts down 3rd party apps. The majority of people have to decided whether to stay or leave.

    The SAG and WGA go on strike because of wage issues, now shows like Last Week Tonight and other shows that take deep dives into the problems of government can’t make shows that inform people.

    All of this is, in my opinion, to shut down public conversations about many issues and the timing is also coincidental since the 2024 election is coming up and in a time everyone is divided, there is no comfortable place to communicate. The curiosity is if trumps social media and other right leaning communities are facing the same disruptions. Not saying reddit and twitter are bastions of the “left” but twitter and in particular reddit have been a place for public good. Now twitter is a hallway that is almost completely covered in fecal matter and reddit is a poorly designed website that blinds you with advertisements and OF spam bots.

    Elon I can see doing it maliciously, because he benefits from a Republican government. Edge Lord Jr has probably doing it because Senior told him it was a good idea. The survivability of these companies are not in their interest because why care if you can just close it down claim the sale and go make more money somewhere else.

    But the biggest one is the “Late Night” shows. Most of them are the way some Americans get informed about some of the more deeply rooted problems in America. You can look at shows like John Olivers, Last Week Tonight and maybe Late Night with Seth Meyers. Shows very critical of Republicans and trump in particular, completely crippled by the SAG and WGA strikes.

    In total the information delivery systems we are all used too, have been dirupted and I’m seriously questioned its timing.



  • I was so happy to find an alternative in lemmy. Didn’t know about it until I made the decision or rather reddit forced my hand and search for something similar.

    I was hesitant but im getting the hang of it now. Lemmy is everything reddit used to be. No spam accounts for OF coming up or stupid bots telling you that you have made a slight error, post something not to their vauge and ever changing specifications, it gets deleted and you can’t argue it because the mods dgaf.

    I feel happy here and my protest will remain because I know Aaron wouldn’t stand for this shit.

    Lemmy and reddit are natural products of peoples need to share and exchange knowledge, you can’t hold a capital on that…

    Its too soon to call a victory, we won’t see any real problems until a few months have past.

    Lemmy and is now activated by my shortcut key for quick access.
