Did I miss something? Is OnlyFans funding AIPAC?

1. IMDB.
2. OnlyFans owner pledged $11 million to Israel lobby.
3. The Economic Times

Doubt anything will change, all the big corporate leaders lost their moral anyway. They’ll probably just continue with whatever made them money. Oh and I forgot, they’ll probably also keep helping AIPAC/Israel with money.

Jeez, every platform and company is going to that ID and face recognition crap. Should we say goodbye to our little bit of privacy and anonymity on the Internet?

Why’s Apple even doing this? They’re not a social media platform to begin with.

It should’ve been banned long ago. It’s insanity that, it is not banned yet. There’s so much illegal content through Grok and so much* hatred on X.

I hope that the people who work at Burger King are able to quickly find new jobs. Better jobs.

Personally, I don’t feel comfortable giving my ID to social media. Especially not with the many data breaches that are happening these days. I think it was a month or three ago that Discord had their data breach and got thousands of ID’s stolen of people.

Yet Discord still decides to push forward their “verification system with ID or face scan”.

Also here’s a screenshot of a comment someone once made and that also got me thinking about the future of “showing your ID and/ or Face scan to ‘protect the kids’”. Another note; people and especially teenagers will nearly always find ways to get around rules. I mean, we all were teenagers before and we often also got around the rules.

Cool that it is possible but I rather ditch Discord when this is forced upon me.

Illegal, certainly. Are they going to do something about it, definitely not.

I have joined yesterday two days ago and so far, no Nazi problem on my feed. However, it is mostly regarding politics.

I keep my feed focused on anime as far as that’s possible.

EDIT: Read wrong. You don’t have to try the app if you don’t want to. Up to you.

Don’t know about Redlib nor about Nitter.

Apparently some people are going over to UpScrolled. It is an Palestinian-made app similar to TikTok/ Instagram.

I have tried UpScrolled but it is still barebones but seems interesting (imo).

I’m surprised the AI has purple hair. Usually, Far-right are against things that are not in the “normal” (blonde, black or brunette).

The title though “far right social media star”. The world seems to be going on fire more and more.

Isn’t this already done with Mario game(s)? I think it was Super Mario Deluxe, where if you die enough times, Luigi shows up and will be doing the entire level for you including the ‘boss’ fight.

Opinion down voting brings useless negativity to Lemmy.

My own experience on Lemmy is that this has been happening more and more. It was not like that when the first Reddit migration happened. However, a year later and that kind of toxicity has started to arise.

It’s one of the reasons why I disabled the visibility of the votes. It also can manipulate on how someone thinks*.

Personally, besides the more technology knowledge on Lemmy… I find that Lemmy slowly but steadily adopts more and more Reddit behaviors in terms of user behavior.

I’m on an instance that does not support down votes. That means, if one disagrees, they need to use their brain and write a comment.

Honestly that sounds great. It means people usually have to actually write why they don’t agree.

EDIT; something went wrong with formatting and copied text twice. Edited it to get it correct again.

I have always done that to people who are unfriendly towards me. It also gives them a notice that I won’t be replying to their unfriendly behavior.

Never used Twitter/X so I have no idea how it is on there.

Though, I wonder why do I need to explain my reason for announcing to block someone but someone else being unfriendly or having a toxic behavior seems to be okay and is not questioned. What other social media have you used in the past?

I assumed that moderators just ban people they do not like or at least remove comments. Blocking people that you do not like is helpful. Keeps your feed and comments section clean and brings less unfriendly behavior. I’m a huge fan of Lemmy’s blocking, it does not prevent the blocked person to comment but it does help the blocker to prevent seeing anything from the blocked person. Brings peace to both, one can simply comment and the other will not see it.

I do not know, you tell me? Anyway, it seems my particular comment got some people agitated. Did not expect to see people getting agitated over a single random comment and question.

They affect visibility. Exactly.

Skeptic away, friend.

Glad Lemmy allows infinite blocking users. So welcome to the blocklist, don’t want to see unfriendly and unnecessary behavior from new accounts.

Why do upvotes and downvotes matter? Is this a real question?

Yes, it is. Because on Lemmy, the down and upvote does not restrict your account (like how Reddit does it). From my understanding the upvote and downvote on Lemmy is more “upvote, so more users see it and downvote see it gets seen less”.

Which means if one person is trolling it and downvote but majority of users are upvoting it, it doesn’t matter much.

Reddit became the karma farming shithole it is because of their engagement algorithms.

That’s one of the many reasons.

Also, you don’t sound very friendly and since your account is about 5 days old. I’m very skeptical of your comment and behavior.

I don’t understand this post at all. Why does it matter what someone upvotes or downvotes? The upvote/downvote means literally nothing at all. Personally, even removed the ability to see the upvote/downvote thing on Lemmy with Mlem.

People place way to much sentiment on the whole up and downvote. That’s why Reddit just became a karmafarming place instead of actual (good) written conversation. Lets not do that with Lemmy. Also, this post could turn out quite bad and gets a unnecessary witch hunt started.
