Yeah, it’s kinda adorable to watch actually.

Failed Twitter alternative is pretty close to the truth actually.

Except using Lemmy is nothing like sending an email.

The original comic is actually genius, and very true.

You clearly see it when the Linux users start prostletysing.

🙄

No, because it devalues their click through, as no sales will result from those clicks.

It’s kinda like printing money, there’s more of it, but the overall value hasn’t increased.

Couple of issues I’m wondering about…

First, wouldn’t clicking on everything just make you easier to track?

Second, how much bandwidth would all this use?

It’s weird being almost a day ahead of most Lemmy users, it’s 3pm on the 2nd over here.

I’d hope there are severe penalties for abusing the process.

Well, that’s somewhat reassuring.

Still reprehensible that it’s being used that way, of course.

I almost respect you for taking a stance so blatantly against what most people believe.

Almost.

What the fuck is AI being trained on to produce the stuff?

Not relevant when you own the machine.

Lol.

You’re really not liking being called out, are you?

They almost always support Russia, and I think you know that very well.

Don’t play dumb, it’s the geopolitical version of “I’m not racist, but…”

People who know their views are reprehensible to most reasonable people, so aren’t willing to outright say what they believe, but will still argue the point.

And if you press them hard enough, you almost always find out they somehow blame Ukraine for being invaded.

In practice, they usually go hand in hand.

The people who are “anti NATO”, or claim it is an imperialist organisation, almost always proceed to make excuses for Russia’s actions, or blame NATO for trying to expand for the invasion of Ukraine.

Uh huh, yup, cool.

Not what we were talking about at all, but okey dokey.

There are people in this thread that support Russia.

Or at least are busy telling people they’re not actually that bad.
