So damn emblematic of the way we carelessly use tech on a major scale, as well as relentlessly re-order the environment to our taste.

So... TTB? (typical tankie behavior)

And yeah, I know who they are. Nutomic actually helped with a Lemmy issue, once. FWIW.

Do you have a particular bone to pick with them, PJ? I mean other than their general poly-ticks?

(love your contributions, btw; thanks for all you do!)

I agree with the people urging you to do your best to take care of your sublemmy once you create it. On top of that, I also feel that most types of communities need you and/or others to be motivated promoters and content creators, even if you're just pulling 'best of' content from elsewhere.

So-- IMO it's generally best to think of it as a volunteer job. And from what I've seen, most community founders don't necessarily realise that, and aren't actually up to the task, hence the # of abandoned subs across the FV (fediverse).

IME one thing that really helps with growing subscribers is that due to the current size of the FV, almost any small community posting content on a regular basis is going to be seen by a fairly large proportion of the FV via the "ALL" feed. Whereas for example, that's almost impossible on Reddit. It really helps!

Oh! Vous êtes en fait l'auteur, n'est-ce pas?

Do you mind if I add a link in our "WEBCOMIX!" post? (2nd from top)

Oh wow, thanks for sharing the link! Lots of good stuff there. :D

Everyone in the building happened to flush their toilets at the same time.

Fun factoid: there's an urban legend about so many people flushing their toilets during halftime of the NFL Super Bowl, that it actually broke municipal water mains.

And of course, most of the right-wing voters probably don't know and/or care to understand that FOX was founded as a propaganda outlet in the first place.

Well, there's a nice example of a brick wall. Alrighty, then.

Aha, could be.

More specifically he reminds me of... I think either a French General, politician, or artist.

As someone who grew up in Philly, I'm slightly bemused as to why as a group we don't seem to have ever tried adding scrambled egg in our cheesesteaks. Or scrapple, for that matter.

My point is that context is everything. For example, if you already know that most of your audience is already highly skeptical of right-wing views and talking points, then: 1) it might just behoove the program to feature the more extremist interviewees, and 2) it might actually be a waste of time, energy and resources to rebut what the audience likely already considers obvious rubbish. That's over-generalising of course, but still...

Also, NPR doesn't necessarily represent the totality of pure, journalistic purpose, and they're not there to live up to any specific outside standards. It's fine for you to critique them, but to my mind, if they're accomplishing their mission then that's the most important thing.
