No. Even when I look in the mirror, I deny it.
🎶needle in the hay🎶
Beat me to it. This was the first thing that came to my mind, too.
This is such a good response!! Love it
I thought we were all bots.
Hmm. I thought I was a paid schill.
Still trying to figure out the getting paid part.
It depends on what you’re peddling.
MAGA gets paid in lies, and progressives in disappointment. Liberals and conservatives get a weekly stock tip call from Pelosi or Tuberville, respectively. Tankies get paid in vodka and cigarettes, and libertarians in crypto.
Whoa, hey, I could be getting vodka and cigarettes? I’m switching teams.
Tankies get paid in vodka and cigarettes
I choose to believe this is literally true. Like Russia or China is running this really, really weird international psyop. They find depressed edgy American teenagers online, and literally send them shipments of vodka and cigarettes, on the explicit bargain that they have to post Russian or CCP propaganda. Or Hell, maybe it’s North Korea doing it. You know, it has to be North Korea. This feels like their type of weird. Regardless of the source, it’s a vast shill/edge lord army literally paid for in vodka and cigarettes smuggled over the border. I know it’s ridiculous and completely impractical logistically. But damn it, I do not care. From now on this will be my internal image of tankies. American teenagers literally paid in North Korean vodka and cigarettes.
I hate tankies, but I’ll shill for them based on the payment plan.
I’m a proud liberal and never has Pelosi given me a stock tip.
I thought we were all paid in beans.
I AM HERE TO REACH YOU ABOUT YOUR CARS EXTENDED WARRANTY
I’m the only real person in here.

no and i don’t think anyone here is real. every account is a russian psyop bot trying to make leftists appear insane and stupid
It took 10 years to meet anyone that used Reddit. I assume it’s gonna take another 10 to meet anyone on this platform.
Really, this amounts to a question of who has recommended lemmy to others. Which is an interesting question.
I’ve recommended it to others, but none are interested, which is extra surprising considering how many of them work in tech or tech adjacent.
Lemmy is more its memes than its technocommunist roots. It’s not a very sticky experience if you don’t like the memes. (I like the memes)
I mentioned it, but didn’t try to recommend it to my forty something sisters who mostly use Facebook, because I figured it was a lost cause (and we’re small enough that I’d be very identifiable from my comments), but try were both very interested in it. Unfortunately, I lost them trying to explain it.
I don’t like recommending to friends because then they’ll ask me what my account is and I prefer to stay anonymous. I feel like I probably have friends that are on Lemmy and haven’t shared with me for the same reason tbh.
The worst thing I ever did was get to the front page of Reddit back in 2010 and then all my friends knew my handle forever.
I considered it when I got my friends to join Reddit ~20 years ago. I made a second account that just posted links to cat pics, no comments. Cute animals are a safe bet.
Bonus, they started sending me cute pictures of their ferrets and dogs that I wish I had backed up beyond a long forgotten flickr
Are you real? Is… is anything real??
Is…everything…cake?
The cake is a lie?
whether the world as we perceive it exists independently or not, we cannot escape this perception.
I have several jars of mushrooms stashed away that absolutely can help escape that perception and several layers of perception after that. (Philosophical on that, Seth, Edinburgh Scotland!)
Do you ship?
No, unfortunately. If I knew you and you were in Colorado, you would get some for free.
Been to Denver once. Had a great time. Loved it and would definitely go back! Now that you mention it, I have been looking for a reason to get back there, haha!
LSD and a blast of DMT at the right moment > mushrooms
Yes, and also maybe. I was growing some really good strains and they weren’t your average P.C.
(Feel free to navigate to my first few posts on lemmy.ca for pics. It’s too off topic for this specific community, so I’ll refrain from linking directly. Edit: Fuck it: https://lemmy.ca/post/15727748 )
Fine work 👏👏👏
no. It’s difficult to recommend it, “no it’s good trust me, there’s like none of the subs you like, and also you should go to the settings and block this list of words, also block these instances, and also do you know what a Tankie is?”
If I talk with people about Lemmy, I’ll usually replace “lemmy” with “this social media I use, kinda like Mastodon, but for Reddit instead of Twitter” as to avoid them joining lemmy.ml and thinking that that’s the entirety of Lemmy.
List of instances to block please and why ?
I’m fairly new to lemmy and have no idea what you’re talking about. Could you give a little breakdown?
A lot of people block political keywords and related communities, and most niche subs aren’t there
Of course I know him, it’s me!.jpg
“This is the man you are looking for.”Don’t look into the O, or you’ll get poked.
Force poked
But even for reddit I only know a person in real life that uses it. I tried to convert him, he said “there are too many Linux apologists” 🤷🏻♂️
See? Tankies aren’t a problem at all. What’re yall worried about?
“apologists” lol, the implication that Linux is nefarious or a tragedy or something
I know more but they stuck with it for some reason. One friend may be on Lemmy too but I’m not giving them my username …
I know your user name now send me $1,000,000 or I’m going to tell your parents
Know him, I am him
Real person alert 🤖
It’s easy to find other Lemmy users IRL. Show up to any Linux meet up, and roughly 5-10% seem to use Lemmy.
I’m not sure I know anyone in real life
They are all robots and NPCs.
I don’t even know anyone who uses BlueSky and that’s considerably more trendy lately. Granted, most of my contacts are 20 something college girls so it’s pretty much TikTok as far as the eye can see.
Almost all the ones I know don’t use any social media besides private messaging which we do on Signal, SMS or E-mail. Looks like you got unlucky or I got very lucky.
Nah. My brother, wife, my two best friends and one co-worker are the only ones who even know it exists, and that’s because they know I use it as an alternative to reddit since the API fiasco. It’s honestly pretty obscure, but I like it that way. I’d love to see larger niche communities, especially since r/stalker was one of the only places I could actively talk about my favorite game series, but Lemmy has been a far better experience overall.
My own spouse, but…as the statisticians would say, that is not really two independent samples.
