It's far from pointless, these large companies hire psychologists to help them with the layouts of their shops. They tend to move staples around so people have to look around for them increasing the chances they'll spot something they don't need but will buybon an impulse. I used to work for one of the largest supermarket chains in the uk, they have an empty store that they use just for planning the layout of goods. Alot of time and money goes into these decisions.

Some conspiracy minded people deny that viruses even exist. I've had more than one person tell me that it isn't vaccines that helped get rid of polio and small pox etc it's increased hygiene and such. If you start with a conclusion you can either make facts fit the lie or ignore reality altogether.

Tshh it's when you rape a statue silly.

I wanted to be a holy fool but I'm an atheist so fool it is.

Billy corgans let himself go.

Tshh as if Zuckerbot has a standard plug or socket for human style relations.

We should all club together and get some ads for the fediverse on there.

It's amazing hubris. Pride comes before a fall they say.

I would have thought most people would be using an app. Most people access the Internet through their phone.

Apparently the fediverse has grown by 500,000 users since last month. That's alot of people, hopefully the word continues to spread and the user base keeps growing.

I've been posting about lemmy in r/modtools and a couple of the niche subreddits I follow that didn't shut down. I'll be sticking with lemmy no matter what happens over at reddit, the people in charge over there have shown utter contempt for the users and moderators.

Absolutely, even without all the reddit drama a decentralised version clearly seems to be the smartest way to go. Reddit is it's community and I think the ceo lost sight of that.
