Gork@sopuli.xyzto politics @lemmy.world•DOJ Describes Plan To Denaturalize Citizens on Scale That Has Never Been Tried8·1 day agoThey want to deport brown people. To them that’s worth the cost.
I too sometimes forget my own name and work in something field.
Gork@sopuli.xyzto News@lemmy.world•Trump Mobile Keeps Charging My Credit Card And I Have No Idea Why5·2 days agoShould’ve used a debit gift card with only enough money for that one month. That way if they charge again it’ll just get denied.
This is in contrast to it’s arch-nemesis agency, the Defamation League (DL). When those two organizations collide, it results in a catastrophic explosion like matter-antimatter.

Gork@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•Threads is nearing X's daily app users, new data showsEnglish26·4 days agoThreads is weird, maybe because I’m not used to the Twitter-like format. Posting is fast like Lemmy (not surprising since it shares the Fediverse infrastructure). Replies are harder to read since it’s one level nested. There’s no downvotes.
Anyone can choose to tag any post or comment as any topic, like Twitter but hashtags don’t appear to be needed. Images and gifs are well supported by default, but it doesn’t support alt-text for accessibility.
The default feed is heavily bot-laden worth thirst-traps and AI women. You need to find actual people and follow them for recommendations for other real people to start to show up in the default feed which is a bit annoying. You end up with a social circle like in Facebook but they are complete strangers unless you accept recommendations from any Instagram contacts you know in real life. You need to turn off linking between Threads and Instagram (on both applications) if you want to keep them separate, it’s opt-out.
Political discussions are toxic; this is unsurprising. Lots of MAGA trash, but not Nazi-laden like X (formerly Twitter). Arguments with them are unfruitful.
The meme game is incredibly weak compared to here (thanks PugJesus, The_Picard_Maneuver, cm0002, Stamets, LadyButterfly, Track_Shovel, etc.). Lemmy has an incredible amount of fantastic memes for it’s size.
There are of course ads but they aren’t as obnoxious as Facebook ads. No doubt Meta is data mining the hell out of your content.
Since there’s millions of people (if they aren’t conflating with Instagram users) it’s incredibly active. That part is nice but you also get the stupidity and ignorance from Facebook-like users; this is where curating your follows is important.
Gork@sopuli.xyzto US News@ponder.cat•TSA to soon allow passengers to keep their shoes on at airport security: Sources3·4 days agoThe only time I’ve seen this relaxed before is on days that are unusually busy with lots of travelers.
It’s fun when one TSA employee tells you that you don’t need to take off your shoes and one ten feet away tells you to take off your shoes.
I’ve seen it around before but would like to know as well.
Gork@sopuli.xyzto Television@piefed.social•🏆100 Highest-Rated TV Shows (Based on Aggregated Data)4·7 days agoIs there a list of absolute train wrecks of TV shows as well? I think Tiger King might be up there on that list.
