Reminds me of that scene in “The Wolf of Wall Street”.
Good times.
On the internet, nobody knows you are Australian.

To tell you the truth, I don’t know who I am either. Somebody sincere, perhaps.
But if you ever read this one day, I hope that you are as proud of me, as I am of the person I imagined you to be.

Good times.
Still on that acting break, but in the meantime, you can buy a copy of “Barbie” on Blu-ray to tide you over.
Yeah! Pick somebody who actually knows tech, like esteemed Academy Award nominated lead developer Margot Robbie, for example.
(Wait, actually, no, getting involved in crypto is generally a bad idea…)
Life is plastic, it’s fantastic.
You can see that clearly with both Twitter and reddit. There is no worse feeling than spending time to write something with thought only to not have anyone interact with these posts at all, while tired one-liner and ragebait gets a ton of likes and comments.
However, Lemmy’s algorithm doesn’t really punish writing long form contents the same way reddit does from my experience, so I feel more free to take a little bit longer to write out my thoughts here compared to elsewhere.
There is an interesting, and almost universal phenomenon on reddit that every time a subreddit gets past about 40,000 subscribers, the discussion quality immediately drops off a cliff, unless extremely harsh moderation policies are implemented to explicitly weed out low effort content which brings its own set of problems.
My theory on why this occurs is the scaling power of moderation. I think you computer people are probably very familiar with the concept of scalability, and that size is its own challenge at the hyperscale. So for a centralized system like Twitter or Instagram or Facebook, moderation can only scale vertically, so a huge moderation team is needed to contend with the scale of these platforms alone, which also forces the need of personalized recommendation algorithms to promote this that are actually interesting to individual users.
Reddit was able to partially avoid this phenomenon with the subreddit system, which means everyone was able to effectively manage their own, smaller subgroups who shares common interest without intervention from the site admin/mods to achieve a form of pseudo-horizontal scaling. You can also see the success of that with Facebook Groups, which are one of the few reasons why people still use Facebook for social media even though they do not want to interact with the current Facebook audience.
Lemmy, and the rest of the fediverse platforms would suffer the problems even less, as now every group admin can now be completely independent from one another, which means that real horizontal scaling can be achieved and hopefully preserving the discussion quality to a degree as it grows.
Disappointing, to say the least.
Not a good look. Very disappointed.
That’s 👋acting👋.
Oscar-worthy acting.
Of course not, puddin’.
Are you calling me the Loch Ness Monster? Gasp.
Anyways, I would need about 3 dollars and 50 cents from you, please.
Read some Infinite Jest for more info on New Sincerity. It’s a pretty difficult read, but it’s rewarding. Funny, too.
I thought there is at least someone here who would connect the dots realize that the movie isn’t mainly about feminism, it’s about New Sincerity, and so are many of the comments and posts from here before. A bit disappointed.
Maybe I just like talking to Internet weirdos. I try to be nice here. Usually.
Jokes aren’t as funny if you explain them. It’s not the right time for the punchline yet.
Guess who’s not getting a sponsorship deal from Asus any time soon.
Having weirdos take pictures of you in public is a viral marketing campaign now?
Pretty similar to pretending to be Margot Robbie on TV talk shows to promote a movie, I guess.
Not if I started using AI first. Just look at my blatantly AI generated profile picture.
I guess the world isn’t quite ready for it yet.
Hey, I’m betting on Lemmy getting big and be the first one to get in, so I can do like a podcast or something for my backup plan.
It’ll all work out. Hopefully.
Hi, local blonde woman pictured wearing a T-shirt here. Since everyone’s still here right now, a reminder again to loudly and proudly show your support to unions, strikes, and worker’s right in every industry. Every little bit counts.
This is a time for real change, it’s a matter of fighting for our survival. Do not fall into despair, because we can win, and despair is the enemy of progress.
This is not the end for us.
Also, want to steal this look? Buy a shirt here.

As Australia’s only Barbi-llionaire, I vote to replace her portrait with a funny portrait of me in the exhibition instead.
