I dreamed just the other day that I broke mine.
Yes. There's a lot of projection going on here. While I understand that art allows us to see and project ourselves onto it, I don't believe a movie about a plastic fashion doll is quite the same.
Warner Bros. said there were no geopolitics intended in “Barbie.”
“While it may just be a Barbie map in a Barbie world, the fact that a cartoonish, crayon-scribbled map seems to go out of its way to depict the PRC’s unlawful territorial claims illustrates the pressure that Hollywood is under to please CCP censors,”...
“The map in Barbie Land is a child-like crayon drawing,” a spokesperson for the Warner Bros. Film Group said. “The doodles depict Barbie’s make-believe journey from Barbie Land to the ‘real world.’ It was not intended to make any type of statement.”
Because the way Threads works is almost seamlessly allowing existing Instagram users to create a Threads account. There is no corollary for Masto or Lemmy or any Fed entities to do something similar.
It's corporate synergy, baby.
It really depends. If you're in a smaller instance and you look at the global view, you're going to see more of Mr. 16.5% than one of the smaller ones.
Though I suspect usage patterns and the way users interact with instances beyond theirs will play a role. But, in an immediate sense, I could see larger instances having a bigger voice (so to speak).
And now I'll waffle and say it's all a crapshoot because people are unpredictable and social media platforms even more so.
3067 is a lot of ways to slice half a pie. I'd consider even 16.5% (or whatever the top dog of that 3 with 50% has) to be domination.
Exactly.
So you find an instance you love, with a federation philosophy you agree with, and build up a brand (for lack of a better word) there.
What happens when that philosophy either changes or allows the instance to become something different than what originally appealed to you? Do you suck it up and stay or try to create a new presence elsewhere with minimal damage?
Yeah. And I find myself vacillating between agreeing with and disagreeing with the idea of defederation or partial defederation.
I think it requires enlightened admins to walk the line, which is a challenge. Not knocking the folks that run their respective instances, but they are humans who have their own motivations.
You probably got banned because you referred to it as being from "The Office", when it's originally from "SNL"
No. You are, and it's well-taken! I kept getting a getting network error message and assumed it was not going through. I (thought I) verified that it didn't go through. And attempted to submit again. Wondering if they got queued and then submitted when the issue resolved.
Is the sort by the same for both (new, hot, top [day, week. month], etc.)?

I had, have, one a decade or more ago and then forgot the password to both it and the email address associated. Never really felt the need to re- engage.
While I understand the value that (once?) existed, I also am happy to see this self-immolation. I was troubled by the lazy reporting, that was becoming so common, of people simply reporting on tweets and responses to them, with no analysis outside of said reactions. But you could fill screen inches with all those links.
Not that I frequented Twitter that often, but damned if forcing me to login is going to happen.
I'm not trying to do anything to increase their traffic or numbers.
I especially enjoy that, no matter how much he drives the value down, he's always going to owe the full value of the loans.
