The DNC has also been actively socially pushing away one the largest voter demographics, white men.

All the messaging about white guilt, all men are toxic, and should pay reparations for the sins of people who did bad things 200 years ago is insane. Imagine telling a child “you parents did crimes, so you must also to go to jail”.

Who’s gonna vote for a party that seems to hates you? That’s like asking the lgbt community to vote republican, a party activity trying to erase them.

The choice was vote for a party that hates you, or vote for a party that hates your friends.

If they truly wanted to win, they’d have to focus less on skin color and gender (but not ignore) and more on economical inequality. It shouldn’t matter what skin color you have; if you need help, you get help.

Wow, I only know 8355 numbers. That’s very impressive.

Does that come before after sevight?

“Pictures don’t make sound”

My attempt to explain in a “story” from the girls perspective, I’m not a writer but I tired…

Twas a bright sunny day as the two children relaxed by the roadside watching the carriages and travelers go about their day. A strange looking young man waddled up to them. While the man begins to speak, the girls eyes are drawn the vibrant red robes. Adorned with outlandish decoration, the likes of which she has only heard of in stories about the King’s court. The young lad’s words snaps her back to the present, where she concludes this man must be one of the King’s famous jesteres.

TLDR; yes

They got sold, and last I heard there was 1 Dev left to “maintaining it”.

Real shame, I switched to Neo Launcher (on F-droid/Izzy repo, not the play store). Although the last update was 3 years ago, new version “any time now”, may have to find something new again.

Lawnchair is popular too

Worst is when they copy the click bait title, so the comments are full of people raging about something like “Lemmy now has a premium cost”, without realizing it’s bull shit.

But not 2004, that seems like last week.

I’ve never had a problem with ads made in this way. My only complaint would be it looks like an actual post. Even though OP is just sharing it, a filterable tag, like we have for nsfw, would be nice.

This form of “passive marketing” (I’m making up terms), I.e a random picture in the feed that you can easily scroll past is fine (assuming its marked appropriately and there are not too many). If the post catches attention enough that people start sharing it because they liked it, the marketer has done a good job. I also consider banner ads “passive”. If they actually filter out the scams and malware, and if someone wants to sponsor Rod’s Radical Recipes with a banner ad, who cares.

I do take issue with I’ll call active marketing. This is an ad you’re forced to engage with, like an unmutable gas pumps that’s playing audio, a commercial break or a pre-roll add. If I’m getting something for free, then sure an add or two seems reasonable (well, 15 years ago it did), but I’m already paying for the gas, shut the fuck up and let me enjoy my 3 minutes of stress watching the numbers go up without some guy screaming about beef jerky.

Edit: reworded the second paragraph, definitely didn’t look at the background too quick and think it was a real poster somewhere and talk about random posters on a wall…nope defiantly not.

And the school who handed them out will suspend kids for having drug paraphernalia.

Sigh another alchemy experiment gone wrong

Sure its easy cash, but now he is deprived of his fun.

Yeah, I wish there was a way to delete a post with out deleting it to preserve comments.

Maybe an “abandon” feature. It removes your user name from public view and does a simple find and replace to remove your name in the comments. The post can live on, but now you have nothing to do with it. The user would have a “abandoned post” counter, this so we know if a user is constantly abandoning posts and can block them. Or put a hard cap, more than 2 a month = banned from posting until mod appeal. Posts with 0 comments face no penalty and are deleted.

Someone still needs to be able reference to the original poster for modding and blocking purposes.

You mind leaving it plugged in mid January and through Feb? Maybe cycle it a bit so we still get snow, but not below freezing temps.

Now the ads are 60sec? instead of 2.5min. Right now the time pressure to do your business is the hardest its ever been. Until they increase the ads again.

I was gonna tell you that it used to have it. But I guess it never did.
