Yep-- wanna bet this never applies to accounts upvoting "fuck biden" or "let's go brandon" comments?
I tried promoting lemmy with a throwaway account using temp mail and got shadowbanned immediately. Oh well
As a publicly traded US company, can't the board of directors vote Elon out because of tanking sales? Seems like that's the only way for the company to survive at this point.
Aren't there also a bunch of govt officials making alts on bluesky to try to somewhat anonymously get info out?
They picked a side when they let a bunch of fash shit slide on T_D in the run up to 2016. No surprise though-- tech bros rarely have a working moral compass
The average height of an eruption is 145 feet (44 m). Intervals between eruptions have ranged from 34 to 125 minutes... Eruptions can shoot 3,700 to 8,400 US gallons (14,000 to 32,000 L) of boiling water to a height of 106 to 185 feet (32 to 56 m) lasting from 1½ to 5 minutes.
8,400 gallons of boiling water
Wonder how big old Paul managed shitting after his butthole was seared shut.
It's a shame really-- the Bee started out with some decent satire but they got sold and went full con dumbass. Early example of an article:
In 2017, Hurricane Harvey battered Houston, Texas, causing widespread flooding. In that context, The Babylon Bee satirically criticized televangelist Joel Osteen with a headline that read: "Joel Osteen Sails Luxury Yacht Through Flooded Houston to Pass Out Copies Of Your Best Life Now".
I theorize that it has a lot to do with rich people. There's more wealth inequality than ever before, or at least (because I'm not well versed in history) if billionaires are maybe roughly equivalent to some kings of yore, that those kings couldn't have the same widespread impact in old times because of modern mass communication. Billionaires skew overwhelmingly amoral, so this increased global reach is allowing them to shape and skew things in amoral directions, which includes propping up power hungry leaders to do their bidding. This is especially true because the communication channels are controlled by other wealthy people who benefit from the system, so they have a vested interest in seeing that the algorithms continue to support the owner class.
Even savvy leaders like Putin can't do it alone and alienate the oligarchs (see this CGP Grey video on "rules for rulers" as to why), but beyond that it's easy to see why weak idiots like trump are simple enough to puppet with money and flattery.

But is even mentioning Luigi against the rules? Do reddit rules ban the mention of any murderer (and he's not even convicted), like Gacy or the Menendez brothers, or just ones that killed a millionaire?
Truth is tech bros like pigboy steve don't want to be reminded that they're giant pieces of shit, so of course they don't have consistent rules.
