  • People can always embed their username/handle into the meme - if they do it’d be rude to crop it out… if they don’t then I think it’s usually safer to censor the OP’s handle as a default action.

    Maybe things are changing in the influencer world but a lot of memes start out as niche in jokes and users may not want to be associated with how they’re used by other people.

    We’ve certainly seen the opposite where a bunch of memes gain ground with people and end up falling into disfavor when people discover the original intent (aka fucking Steven Crowder). So detaching it from the originator just feels safer.












  • Honestly? Because we have blogs (and RSS kinda counts as a platform if you squint).

    If you’re tech/freedom minded and want to share your thoughts you’re probably just running a blog and following the blogs of other people you find interesting.

    The only thing you miss out on with just using blogs is a content prioritization algorithm… but, tbh, are there that many things you actually give a shit about that you’d get overwhelmed and want to ignore some of it? Or did Facebook & other social media stuff just build platforms that constantly shovel random shit at users that requires such an algorithm.

    So yea, probably just blogs… optionally collected into an RSS reader.


  • A lot.

    I know there’s a proportion that were simply ignorant and tuned out of politics… but most Trump voters did so over the very loud objections of trans relatives or while openly embracing the nativism.

    Lastly, I think that Harris did a terrible job advocating for her election and she owns a fair portion of the blame as well.

    Trump wasn’t an unknown this time. He attempted to subvert our election process and he’s a convicted rapist. He openly embraced corruption during his last term and is already shilling crypto bullshit.

    Trump voters are terrible selfish people - end of story.
